Owncloud 8 Caldav and carddav synchronisation

This is only semi-true because it only works with ownCloud installations in the root directory of the web server. For details see here.

Here a comment I gave earlier in another question regarding auto discovery and well-known-URIs:

RFC 5785 specifies ./well-known-URIs: A well-known URI is a URI whose path component begins with the characters "/.well-known/". So it's forbidden to have something like example.org/owncloud/.well-known/. This is also explained in Appendix B: 4. Why aren't per-directory well-known locations defined? So it's not Jollas fault that auto discovery does not work on ownCloud installations that aren't installed in server root.

that's semi true too, as you can place the .well-known folder in the root directory and expand the path with the prefix /owncloud-dir-whatever/ which should create a working state too :)

@dmnk That's exactly what is proposed in my given link. Didn't read?

i just tried to help with distilled relevant information instead of further readings (no i didn't re-read the thread, cause i already knew it, pretty popular as you might now too ;) )

and you stated that it doesn't work outside of the root directory and gave further readings, which is actually plain wrong.

Auto discovery with .well-known only works when owncloud is installed in the root directory of the web server. See here for more details.

And:

RFC 5785 specifies ./well-known-URIs: A well-known URI is a URI whose path component begins with the characters "/.well-known/". So it's forbidden to have something like example.org/owncloud/.well-known/. This is also explained in Appendix B: 4. Why aren't per-directory well-known locations defined? So it's not Jollas fault that auto discovery does not work on ownCloud installations that aren't installed in server root.

Indeed it is installed in the root of the web server.

Earlier while owncloud was installed under /owncloud/, well-knows where configured as aliases in the root, https://server/.well-known/caldav would be redirected to /owncloud/remote.php/caldav and same for carddav.
