Mac OSX Server error message in console

Hi,
I have the following error message having recently bought and configured (for the first time) a MacMini Server with Mac OSX Server 10.6.n.
1/26/11 1:38:11 PM org.dovecot.dovecotd[8582] Fatal: Invalid configuration in /private/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
Can someone help me understand how to fix this problem?
I can see the file in terminal, but don't know how to edit the file or change the file configuration to be correct.
Thanks,
Don

  • OSX Server Error (NIL_RESPONSE_ERR (** -[NSCFArray objectAtIndex:]: index

    I would appreciate some help and guidance troubleshooting an OSX Server Admin problem. The error occurs when trying to access the "Web" service through Server Admin.
    I'm okay using the GUI, but would need explicit instructions to work on the Command Line. The server has been well backed up, if restoring a file(s) is easier.
    The following welcoming, happy message in Server Admin, running on Mac OSX Server 10.5.7 was received:
    The Server has encountered an error. .... Report the problem to the administrator if it persists. (NILRESPONSEERR (** -[NSCFArray objectAtIndex:]: index:]: index (0) beyond bounds (0)))
    I grabbed the following error message from the System Log:
    webserver servermgrd[53]: servermgr_web: Invalid CustomLog directive '"/Volumes/Web/iCalCalendars/Logs/accesslog"'
    Thanks in advance!
    Bob

    Managed to resolve the problem by restoring the folder from backup, and then restarting the machine.

  • Script won't run on machine w/MAC OSX Server 10.4.9

    Why won't the following script work on a machine that is running MAC OSX Server 10.4.9. On Machines running Mac OS X 10.4.9 it works fine, but on my server machine it won't name the file as per the script--the menu dialog box pops ("save as") up asking for a file name.??
    The only difference between the machines as far as I can tell is the OS.
    Thanks.

    Hello! Tried unsuccessfully to restore my MBP, running the Mac OSX Lion, to factory settings. I keep getting the "can't download additional components for the Mac OSX Lion" error when reinstalling the OSX Lion. Any tips on how to resolve this problem?

    Hi
    Given that your answer to 1. is 'pre-installed' and 3. is 'No', I think the only thing to do is to take it to an Apple store (ideally the one you bought it from) and have them reinstall it for you.
    The intended solution in cases like yours is that you should be able to reboot and install even a wiped disk by using Apple's servers over the internet (you do this by restarting with 'command-r' and choosing 'reinstall Lion'). However if this isn't working for you then you need to get the store to do it. Don't let them fob you off with 'go home and try again'. Have them do it in the shop (you're still covered by Applecare warranty so it should cost you nothing save the inconvenience of the trip and possibly leaving the machine there while they fix it).
    A reinstall should leave all your own personal data and programs in place.
    Note for future: when you get it fixed, first thing to do is buy a cheap external drive and start keeping a backup (either Time Machine or clone with Carbon Copy Cloner).

  • Installing Mac OSX Server hangs at Network Configuration

    The network is up and running, but the assistant is not continuing.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for any help or suggestion

    Smells vaguely of a DNS error or IP routing or a network connectivity problem.
    What did you specify for your network settings, and particularly what was entered for the DNS server address? If you're not running DNS on your local network here, then enter no DNS servers as part of the prompting, and let Mac OS X Server establish its own default single-host DNS.
    (You're not going to be able to use your ISP DNS here; those ISP DNS servers are not valid when you are establishing a server on a network behind a NAT gateway.)
    I'd probably wipe the disk and boot from DVD and reload.

  • Mac OSX server not supported behind Airport Extreme NAT router?!!

    For a customer, I recently installed a new XServe, within a local network with an Airport Extreme (n) with FW 7.4.2. Mac OSX Server manages the router (which has a fixed IP from the ISP). Because the Mac OSX Server runs a DNS server (supporting a local domain), OSX Server reconfigured the Airport Extreme, so that it would forward DNS queries to the server. The server's dns server will forward queries for non-local domains to the ISP's dns servers.
    All clients get their IP configuration using DHCP from the router. You can't use the DHCP service of the server, as you can't disable DHCP on the router (in NAT mode).
    All clients get the router's IP as the dns server.
    HOWEVER:
    The Airport Extreme can't connect to the internal DNS server! *It doesn't seem to be able to route dns requests to the internal network* (verified using nslookup). Any dns queries sent to the router will time out.
    Come on, Airport Extreme team.. you can't claim the Airport Extreme to be the ideal router in combination with an OSX server, if this simple and very common setup is not supported! How hard can it be to either:
    ...*Allow us to disable DHCP on the router* (even when in NAT mode), so we can use the OSX server for this (which will dispatch the correct DNS settings)
    ...*Allow the router to route DNS queries to the local DNS* (OSX) server (which should be working anyway)

    That is true.

    You need to make sure that the group you are enabling the services for is in the LDAP path for the 10.5 server, and not in the local directory or the LDAP for the 10.4 server.

  • I have a problem syncing iCal on my Macbook air (10.7.5) and my iPhone 4s (5.1.1) over iCloud. The following server error message comes up "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account "iCloud" failed." Been to Apple - no luck. Ideas?

    I have a problem syncing iCal on my Macbook air (10.7.5) and my iPhone 4s (5.1.1) over iCloud. The following server error message comes up "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “iCloud” failed." Been to Apple Store - no luck instore, or with Super genius over the phone when with genius in store, taking data in real time via ethernet!
    I had to do a full wipe of my system because of time machine back up issues 2 weeks ago, and the error has only occured at some point since then. I only did a drag and drop of my user account folders/files into an External HDD rather than a copy of my user account (advised by the staff in store at Apple to do this) and when reimported, the Mail folders are all present but each message is in a sub-sub-sub folder that is numerically named. I do not have a mirror image of the hard disk prior to the wipe, only a time machine back up from 2 weeks prior to it being done. I am uncertain if this reinstall has caused the issue. 
    I am not happy to upgrade the software in my iPhone until I have the calendars working. I have purchased Mountain Lion, but again am concerned about upgrading until the issues are sorted.
    I have tried the other solutions on here with no luck. HELP please.
    Many Thanks.

    Progress Update.
    I made a back of what existing phtos and Videos I had on my Iplhone.  I used Image capture to do this making an entire back up of photos and videoa that were still intact on the phone.
    Image capture is god for this purpose, as it does exactly what you ask it to do without applying any rules or squishing the files back into iphote (which might also be corupted) 
    Image capture wil do the basic function of retriving the contents of the phone and save them as native files on your hard drive.
    Once I did this I erased my iphone, and re intitialised it restoring an older back up from icloud.
    As the retore was happneing - I did retreive the missing files that cuased the intial beviour as above, and I could play the videos that were missing in the above scenerio.  The wierd ting was however that even though the source files were now back on the device, the thumbnail previews were missing. Where I ahd balck thumb nails for server portions of the resotred content.
    I then went to bed as the restore is a long process.  When I woke up the library had library had cleaned itself up.  Mysteriously the prcess had deleted the files missing the their thumbnails.
    This is very perculiar and bad behavior.
    I am now repeating the process, and will attempt to download the missing content as it is restored and prior to the phone trying to fix itself.
    Here are the lessons learned.
    DO NOT rely on Photo Stream to keep back ups and synchornise videos from you IOS device. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS CAPBILITY
    DO NOT rely on iCloud Back Up alone - always fd an occassional iTunes back up or more reliably still always take a back up of photos and video files using Image Capture to be doubly sure that you a have backd up any content.
    DO THIS NOW - dont wait to loose your phone ofr have your phone repaired by replacement at the apple Store.  (I did both :-(

  • How do I re-install my Mac OSX Server from scratch

    Hi,
    I have purchased two MacMini Servers with 10.6 OSX Server software pre-installed.
    I have changed the organization as our company name changed and run into license issues.
    I want to re-install the Mac OSX Server software and start from scratch. How do I go about this. I tried yesterday for many hours to do so and the new installs are still running into duplicate license issues and other issues. What is the best approach to do re-install? I am willing to erase the internal Hard Disk and boot (with an external DVD optical drive) if that is the best way to go. What are the steps?
    I have the original CDs or DVDs and have extra, external hard disks to do a Time Machine backup, etc.
    Thanks,
    Don

    If you are looking to do a nuke and pave of the system, and you have an external optical drive, then yes, that is likely the most direct method. Connect the optical drive, insert the installation DVD, and reboot the system targeting the optical disk as the boot volume (you can do this by holding down the C key or the Option key during startup).
    Now, if you do not have an optical drive, you can put the installation disk into another Mac running 10.6 and use the Remote Install Mac OS X application in your Utilities folder.
    Hope this helps

  • Bridge CS6 Mac cannot browse Mac OSX server 10.8

    Hello:
    We had a drobo file server which was mounted on the desktop and had no issues browseing the volume in bridge.  After we moved to a new Mac OSX server running 10.8 we can no longer browse the mounted server.  We get a primission violation. Using the finder we're able to browse files and folders and create new files without this same type of issue.
    Is there a preference that allows connection to a network volume via Bridge?
    I hope I was clear on the discritpion of the problem.
    Thanks,
    Rick

    Try a reset of preferences for Bridge using option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs.
    There is also a plist file for Bridge in the user library preferences folder that can be manual deleted and will be refreshed after restarting Bridge.
    And maybe run a check and repair permission with either Apple Disk utility or cocktail.
    Unfortunately Bridge is not designed for use over a network nor official supported by Adobe when it comes networks.

  • Can't even get a server error message, much less upgrade to iOS5?

    About a week after iOS 5 was released in mind-October, my inability to get the upgrade onto my 3GS led me to messaages like "It's a rolling upgrade; Apple's servers are catching up. Try again later." Every time I plugged my iPhone into my PC, iTunes launched, synched and brought up the Store. Nothing on the screen said anything about downloading iOS 5. More Googling yielded messages from people who followed the same procedure, but evidently found a download link or something like that, because they had launched the upgrade procedure but then gotten a server error message. Meanwhile I was still getting nothing. I tried re-installing iTunes. Rebooting my PC. Yet, here it is November and each time I plug my iPhone into the PC, it's the same dead end. iTunes launches, synchs with the phone, and then shows me all the latest groovy hits I can download. Absolutely nothing about the iOS 5 upgrade steps, contrary to Apple's messages saying "Just plug in your iPhone and iTunes will do the rest."  Maybe there's a secret password?

    I'll answer my own question for the benefit of anyone with similar symptoms who searches the forum. Today just for grins, instead of letting the step of plugging the iPhone 3GS into the PC launch iTunes, I launched iTunes first then plugged in the phone. THAT succeeded in bringing up a dialog box that got me started on the road to the iOS 5 upgrade. One more thing: One of the steps that no one mentions is that once your iPhone is plugged into the PC and shows up in iTunes, click once on the topmost list of items representing your iPhone. That will take you to your iPhone "home page." There's an update button in the center of the home page screen that you'll use. It's pretty quick; only took about 30 minutes on my basic DSL connection. Have fun!
