Hi guys,  
I try to read my calendar entries from my Synology caldav-server. I always get this error message in the log file.

> Error while loading calendar entries: Range start must be before range end  
> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Range start must be before range end

Has anyone ever done this before?

You’d need to supply the rest of the error message.

But it sounds like you have a configuration problem.

Check to see if the events you’re trying to load are zero-length (eg. starts and ends at 09:00:00).  
If so, try changing the end times to be different than the start time, and see if this error goes away.

A debug log could be helpful in showing the values that are being used.

Well, there’s actually an event in my calendar every day. They also start before they end.  
How exactly does this work with the debug log file? I am still completely new to openHab. Caldav is my first project.

Can you tell me where I can set it, or where I can find the debug. log?

Thank you very much.

[Docs about logging](https://docs.openhab.org/administration/logging.html#karaf-console).

You’ll want to set all 3 packages for logging:

```auto
log:set TRACE org.openhab.io.caldav
log:set TRACE org.openhab.binding.caldav-command
log:set TRACE org.openhab.binding.caldav-personal

```

After these are setup, you’ll want to wait for the error to occur at least once, then upload the openhab.log log file.

I set logging for all 3 packages in this file org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg. Is this right?  
The last three rows.
