Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/cypht-org/cypht/issues/640

Hi, I installed the Cypht master of 2022/10/13 on an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS web server.
I would like to use my 1,000+ CardDAV contacts that are hosted on a different NextCloud server.
Thus, I

enabled the modules 'contacts' and 'contacts_carddav' in the hm3.ini
copied the carddav.ini to the app_data directory, renamed the [Personal] to [CardDAV NextCloud] and added http of my CardDAV server (the exact address, without port, works e.g. with vdirsyncer).
run PHP ./scripts/config-gen.php
login to Cypht.
in contacts, I can see the error: "No contact backends are enabled!
At least one backend must be enabled in the hm3.ini file to use contacts.", However, I have the option to add contacts to the [Contacts NextCloud]
In Settings, I found the section CardDAV; added username and password, save the settings and site settings, log out and log in; same symptoms.

I have the impression, there are 2 different problems:

The check for a valid backend fails, if there is no local, LDAP or Gmail backend (CardDAV is not in the checked backends?)
The connection to the CardDAV server fails. Is there any way to find out the reason (http or user validation)?

Dear @ElvisAns and @marclaporte, I watched the video twice, but it only shows the client side (the user's web interface). What do I need to do on the server? Changing any .PHP files; install a new version of Cypht? How do I have to configure the CardDAV connection?

Dear @marclaporte and @ElvisAns:
Yes, with the modified PHP I can see my NextCloud CardDAV server.

I still got two problems:

How do I authenticate to my server?

I added to the carddav.ini:

server="https://server.org/...contacts/"
user="Robert"
pass="A very long password"

Cypht complains about a missing contacts module.

But my hm3.ini contains:

modules[]=contacts
modules[]=carddav_contacts

of course, I could uncomment the local_contacts, but just carddav_contacts should be sufficient.

@robert-winkler it's still complaining because your enabled contact backend is not yet authenticated.

Go to Site Settings and then put your username / password under the Carddav Adressbooks section and hit save.

Thanks for the quick reply, @ElvisAns!

I added my credentials and now the error disappeared. We are getting closer.
However, I still cannot see/ add/ edit my NextCloud contacts.
In the carddav.ini I put the server link. Is there any port needed (in other programs, the CardDAV connection works with this location.)
Any idea what I might have forgotten?

You are much welcome Dear @robert-winkler
Now I think there is an issue with the NextCloud configuration.
The port is not necessary unless NextCloud recommend some
