Trying to stop MYSQL service without success in snow leopard server

Hello
I trying to enabled MySQL service on snow leopard server.
My hard drive name is "Macintosh HD2".
I receive this message :
Can't change dir to '/Volumes/Macintosh HD2/ServiceData/MySQL/' (Errcode: 2)
I try to stop without success MySQL service for rename my HD without blank
How do that please ?

That's set up via the [MySQL command line|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/376]. Or you can install the (free) Sequel Pro GUI package, given you're probably more comfortable in the GUI. The steps required for Mac OS X Server are the same as most any other platform, so [launch the MySQL client per the Wordpress Codex|http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress], and follow the instructions.

Can't Star iChat Service after update to Snow Leopard Server

We had installed Mac OS X Server on a Mac Pro, and we had the iChat Service working in the organization; but when we update to the Snow Leopard Server we can't start the iChat service again. In the Server Admin app, on the iChat node in the Overview I have this:
iChat Service is: Stopped
Start time: not available
Domain: not available
Client connections: not available
With the update if I choose the iChat service node, I can't see the Start iChat button.
Can somebody help?
Thanks a lot.

MySql Database set up on Snow Leopard Server for Wordpress

I am trying to set up a mySql database on the snow leopard server in order to install wordpress.
I have played around with the MySql database settings (in the server admin window) but can't seem to figure out how to set the database name, username, and password within the Snow leopard server.
Do I need to use third party software like Navicat to create the database and user names etc? If yes, any idea how to do that? If now, how do I create a MySql database, username and pw?
I have put the Wordpress install folder on my Snow leopard server. When I navigate to my domain it says I need to configure wordpress by providing my database name, username and password.
Thanks in advance.. I am struggling here.

OS X Snow Leopard server, proxy server stopped working.

Hi All,
I have OS X Snow Leopard Server (10.6.8) configured as a forward proxy server. It was working fine for a year until today. I cannot access any external web sites and get the following error:
Service Unavailable!
The server is temporary unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 503
www.apple.com
Sun Jul 27 22:53:18 2014
Apache/2.2.24 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.24 OpenSSL/0.9.8y
If I change the proxy configuration on the Mac client (MacBook Air) to access the Internet directly (bypass the proxy server) all websites work fine. In the Server Admin, Web, logs I see the following errors:
Access /var/log/apache2/access_log.
"GET http://www.apple.com/startpage/HTTP/1.1" 503 1062
Error /var/log/apache2/error_log.
[error](60)Operation timed out: proxy:HTTP:attempt to connect to 2.16.236.183:80(*) failed.
I have tried the following but made no difference:
-Stop/Start the Web Server.
-Restarted the Server completely.
-Uninstalled/Reinstalled the Web Server (Off/On).
-Reconfigured the forward proxy settings.
-Empty the proxy cache folder.
-Checked the files exist under /etc/apache2 folder.
-Checked the files exist under /var/log/apache2 folder.
-Checked the the proxy_module and ssl_module are enabled.
Any ideas and how to troubleshoot this issue further is most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I think I have fixed it. I have reloaded/restarted the Cisco router/firewall back end and front end now proxy is working again. Very odd since I use the same devices to connect directly to the Internet without the proxy server. Oh well, it's working again so it's all good.

MySQL installation in Snow Leopard Server appears to be broken?

I tried
sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/bin/mysql_config
and it failed.
The mkmf.log said (in part):

So, I checked mysql_config:

Note that mysql_config appears to have been compiled with an assumption that /usr/lib
would contain a -lmysqlclient shared library.
Which assumption fails on my Snow Leopard Server installation:
minisvr:~ root# ls -la /usr/lib/mysql
ls: /usr/lib/mysql: No such file or directory
Now, I'm reasonably certain that I have done nothing to cause this library to be missing;
as I am also reasonably certain that the mysql_config found in /usr/bin is one shipped by
Apple (as opposed to one I could have picked up somewhere else).
Can anyone else out there verify: does Apple ship /usr/bin/mysql_config?
If so, does it supply linker options like -L/usr/lib -lmysqlclient?
If that also is true, does your /usr/lib actually contain an Apple-supplied libmysqlclient.*?
Now, assuming that my installation is reasonably close to what Apple actually shipped,
what should I do about it? Would I be better off to go find a source distribution,
and build and install mysql, foregoing the Apple-supplied integration with
management tools (e.g., using Server Manager to start/stop and monitor logfiles)?
What do other users of mysql on Mac OS X Server do?

Does Snow Leopard Server iCal Service support iCal Groups?

I have successfully configured iCal Service on Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8v1.1 and have several client Mac system (runing SL 10.6.8v1.1) connected to this service via CalDAV. I can create new calendars and those calendars and any test events propigate to all machines that have this CalDAV account configured. But whenever I try to create a calendar group it always appears as a local calendar group. Is this a feature missing when using iCal Server and CalDAV? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

Has Apple stopped supporting email on iCloud using Snow Leopard?

May 1, 2012 4:43 PM
Has Apple stopped supporting email on iCloud using Snow Leopard?
As of Friday, 27 Apr 12, I have been unable to load me.com email onto my computer although I can still bring in my other account (sbc), but I am only able to view my me.com email using the icloud web site. It loads ok on my iPhone, and I had an appointment @ an Apple store and all my email came in ok while in the store. I migrated to iCloud last year, but I'm still running Snow Leopard because of the incompatibility issues of Lion and other software, specifically Quicken.
Any ideas?

Sorry, I'm trying a new OS (not Apple) and having a issue which I went back to edit my post and then the window closed.
Maybe you should re-think that strategy.
I don't know, perhaps Apple found out about Roger's trick and is now banning 10.6 users from iCloud.
iClould still provides standard IMAP and SMTP services: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
IMO, just use a web based email like Gmail or Hushmail, that way any device anywhere that has a web broswer can get it.
But if you use Apple Mail, then you can access your mail wether you have internet or not.

Error configuring services from Snow Leopard Server to Mountain Lion Server

I am trying to upgrade a Snow Leopard Server Mac Mini to Mountain Lion Server.
We have two Mac Mini servers at our office (production and backup) so I migrated the everything from our production server to the backup using the migration assistant when setting up the backup computer.
I now have the backup at home trying to upgrade it to Mountain Lion Server. I have downloaded and installed Mountain Lion as well as the Server App version 2.2. I basically followed the simple directions found in the Apple documentation.
I started the server app and it got to the part where it said "Upgrading services". After running for a few minutes, I get a window that states "An error occurred while configuring your server." It also sayd "The following actions failed or were not attempted:" with a red dot next to "Upgrading services". The other three items: "Authenticating to local directory", "Reading directory configuration" and "Authenticating to local directory services" have gray dots so I'm sure they were not even attempted.
Our Snow Leopard server is setup for SMB file sharing, LDAP services, FTP, Web, DNS, DHCP.
Can someone point me to where I can figure out what exactly is failing? Are there specific log files I need to look into?
Thanks

Have EXACTLY the same issue - also tried reinstalling mountain lion server fresh and still had the same problem...

When I sync with my iphone i get an error reporting message but the sync still works. After trying to download 10.6.3 Mac OSX Snow Leopard, this message appears every few seconds until I quit Entourage. How do I turn this message off?.

Question:
When I sync with my iphone I get an error reporting message but the sync still works. After trying to download 10.6.3 Mac OSX Snow Leopard, this message appears every few seconds as long as Entourage is open. This continues until I quit Entourage. How do I turn this message off? It interferes with any other work I am doing. I appreciate any suggestions.

I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck.

I'm trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard

I'm trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard but keep getting an error message, "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.". Isn't Snow Leopard 10.6?....so now what?

It sounds more like you are trying to use an updater rather than the Snow Leopard installer DVD. You might read over the following:
How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. If updating:
Download and install update(s)
Use Software Update, or
Download standalone updater(s).

Upgrade from Snow Leopard Server to Lion Server hangs at configuring services...

I am running the Mac mini with snow leopard server 2.53 ghz 2GB of ram, 2x500GB hard drives, and have followed through the process to install Lion Server. The installation appears to be hung at the Configuring Services section of the setup process. I have left it for a couple of hours and nothing has progressed.
Should I leave it longer, hoping that it will work through the process (if in fact it is working through something)?
How long should this normally take?
As this is my work server, hosting mail, web, FTP, and file sharing, it is rather important to get it up and running as quickly as possible.
Any thoughts on how I can get it moving?
Hard power off of the Mac Mini reboots the machine, then proceeds back to the setup page, and then hangs on the same Configuring Services.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Lion Server Upgraders,
beware and proceed with caution.
Apple web site is naively optimistic on the upgrade process:
"To upgrade your Mac to OS X Lion, you don’t need to drive to a store, bring home a box, and install a bunch of discs. All you do is click the Mac App Store icon, buy Lion for $29.99, and your Mac does the rest. Just make sure you have what you need to download Lion to your Mac."
And then has a 3 step process...
This is completely miss leading.
Read this document first: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/lion_server_upgrading_migrating.pdf
It will make it readily apparent that moving from Snow Leopard Server to Lion is not going to be simple.
Having done this twice now.. I have found that:
1. Open Directory migration is a weak point. Lion & Snow Leopard Open Directory are not compatible, so if you have masters & replica then expect trouble. I have an unresolved issue trying to get a simple Lion Server to Lion Server Open Directory replica up and running. This compatibility seems to also cause migration to fail, as I found that all my local User/Groups transferred ok but non of the /127.0.0.1/LDAPv3 (Open Directory) ones did. This is a very important item, as all the mail accounts in dovecot use LDAP generated UID, so you have to be careful that you do not loose mail accounts.
2. Mail - your mail aliases will not transferred, so you will need to reapply the aliases.
3. Web Server Setup - This broke, under migration as I gather the entire Web serving tree has changed. In particular I had "Snow Leopard" Web Mail (which is based on Squirel) on my "Snow Leopard" Server and this is now dead...
4. Digital Certificates - I found that the valid (ie signed by trusted CA's) did not get migrated, so I had to re-imported my Digital Certificates. If you have paid for third party CA certificates then make sure you have got these copied somewhere, as if you loose them then you will likely need to go to your provider and get a certificate revocation and new certificate, which will cost you money!
Cheers,
Zebity.

Upgrade MySQL in Snow Leopard Server

Hi all. This is my first post.
I have a Mac Mini Server with Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 (aka. Snow Leopard Server)
wanted to update the native MySQL. I followed these instructions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4006
Now I know that it is parallel installation of MySQL.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15535136#15535136
Finally,I installed MySQL 5.5.15 from MySQL.com (x86 dmg file)
Now I have three MySQL servers in the system. Runs only the oldest (native 5.0.92)
I want to:
1) Remove unnecessary MySQL servers.
2) I would like to MySQL service could be run in the Server Admin.app. If this is not possible to run the “MySQL Preference Pane” in System Preferences.
If this is not possible then I would be able to run in "MySQL Preference Pane" in System Preferences.
Working with AS is probably possible.http://www.jamesbantz.com/2010/08/08/upgrading-mysql-on-mac-os-x-10-6-snow-leopa rd-server/#more-172 (See step 6)
Now I have a “little problem” with the distinction which files belong which MySQL.
Please help
Thanks

Welcome to the forums.
The cited Apple directions in HT4006 are for adding headers and client components for Mac OS X Server for MySQL, and not particularly for upgrading MySQL on Mac OS X Server. (That may well cause problems.)
How good are your pre-installation backups? I'd roll those in, and undo the HT4006 changes, and (if you're not going to scratch this whole upgrade) follow what Mr Bantz describes in his posting.
Irrespective of the particular path followed here, you do also still get to "own" all of these changes, including the on-going maintenance and upgrades, which means that you own any security problems, the inevitable software upgrades and updates, and whatever other fixes might be needed.
Alternatively, consider moving to Mac OS X Server Lion (10.7), as it does not contain MySQL, so you can load whatever MySQL you want and (so long as you keep it from getting tangled with PostgreSQL) you're good to go.
I would not generally expect to be able to use Server Admin or the other tools to use or manage your local MySQL. The Server Admin tools are not set up for these sorts of changes and have a history of getting tangled when the underlying servers are changed. If you do manage this goal and do have Server Admin working and whether following Mr Bantz's directions or via some other means, then your changes still might not survive any particular future Mac OS X Server upgrade, or Server Tools upgrade. (Which means you'll have to debug and rework the changes, or find somebody that has figured out what broken and follow those instructions.)
If you discover you have the need for these sorts of upgrades often, I'd suggest loading and using Linux or one of the BSDs. Installing newer versions of stuff means more work and sometimes far more work, and tends to un-do what Apple provides, and tends to cause problems like you've encountered here. In all seriousness, Linux or BSD is the platform you'll want, if you find yourself tweaking; they're set up for exactly this sort of tweaking. Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server aims at a different market.

I'm trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard but my macbook keeps ejecting the disc. It started to install the first time and said it needed to restart to finish, restarted but ejected the disc. It ejects every time now.

I'm trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard but my macbook keeps ejecting the disc. It started to install the first time and said it needed to restart to finish, restarted but ejected the disc.

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.
