It's only for experimenting with calendar software, so authorization is not 
a point.
So I forget about MySQL.

Possibly.
I tried this:
server.py -n -c config.ini
Once again, the server is up and running and when I am logging in with my 
browser (10.0.0.140:8081) I can see information showing up at the command 
prompt, showing somebody is logging is, but the same error: 
"fshandler:get_data: \Webdav not found". During starting up the server 
mentioned: "pywebdav:Serving data from \Webdav".

In the config file it says:
"# main directory
directory = \Webdav"

Perhaps my Python configuration is at fault.
