Whoooops...I'm not 100% confident that we don't need some newer features 
in some cases %-| Since 4.3 branch is deprecated anyway, would it be 
possible for you to upgrade to 4.4 or better 4.5LTS?

Just installing isn't enough ;-) Did you follow the step-by-step install 
guide from the manual [1]?

That's not really a problem; the first focus should be on 
"tx_cal_event". The index table is only used for recurring events to 
avoid real time calculation of exception, recurrence dates, ...

It's empty because you either do not have recurring event, did not 
follow the step-by-step install chapter or because you're using the old 
recurrence model. :-)
It will be filled by the indexer, but I think you have a more generic 
problem...

Thomas
