## Troubleshooting

1. Check that you didn’t include http:// or https:// in the server address.
2. Depending on your server setup the username-part of the server-address may be case sensitive. So for user `Username` the server-address may need to be `ADDRESS/remote.php/caldav/principals/Username` instead of `ADDRESS/remote.php/caldav/principals/username`
3. If you need to change the server-address and want to use SSL you’ll have to cancel the setup process and enter your data again from the very beginning, as iOS would prepend https:// to the server-address automatically.
4. Problems have been reported for CardDAV and iOS 4.X. A possible solution is at the forum.
