Upgrading mac os X server from panther to leopard on xserve

Hi,
I've actually got a xserve G4 and one G5. Both running on MacOS X server 10.3.9.
I plan to upgrade to 10.5 because a lot of clients are now running on MacOS X 10.5.
I don't find informations on Internet on this situation, and how to do this upgrade correctly. (always about non-server version on macOS).
Can you advise me on that?
Should a migration intermediary to 10.4?
Is there something that I must think before ?
Do you know of sites that speak about this?
Thanks you,
Fabien

I would seriously consider installing 10.5 server fresh rather than trying to upgrade. You can try Passenger
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/networking_security/passenger.html
to move users and passwords, but there are a lot of pitfalls you may encounter, and a clean install may actually be faster.

  • Upgrade from Panther to Leopard

    After buying an iPhone 3GS, I think it's time to finally perform a software upgrade. The newest versions of Firefox and Safari browsers don't run on Panther either. I want to hang on to my 5 year old G4 iMac for at least a couple more years and now have a Leopard pack ready to install (also iLife 09 and iWork 09).
    I have a 1GB PC2700 SODIMM on the way, which would raise my total RAM to 1.25 GB. Should I wait until the new RAM is installed before starting the install of Leopard, or would that make little difference?
    I have some older software that gets regular use and want to be sure it will still work after Leopard is installed:
    1. Quicken 2004 for basic checkbook balancing and account management (don't do any online stuff).
    2. Apple Works 6
    3. MS Office 2004 for Mac
    Plenty of photos saved on iPhoto 4.0.3 and a full music library on iTunes 7.7.1.
    Is it safe to go ahead and pop in the Leopard DVD and get this install going, or are there other steps I need to take to avoid losing data from the older programs above?
    Thanks for your help!!

    If you currently only have 256mb of RAM, you will have to wait. Leopard's minimum is 512mb.
    Going from Panther to Leopard is a big jump. Hopefully, you have an external FireWire drive that is at least the size of the iMac's internal drive. What I would do is clone the current internal drive startup volume to the external drive using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. Restart using the clone to make sure it works properly, as if you are starting up normally from the internal drive.
    While started up from the external clone, run Disk Utility. Run +Repair Disk+ (on the +First Aid+ tab) on the internal drive.
    Once you are satisfied that the clone is working properly, disconnect it. It will serve as your backup. You should always have a current backup (of at least your personal data) when doing a major system update. You can now install Leopard on your internal drive. If something goes wrong or if something critical does not work properly under Leopard, you can always restart from your external clone of the previous system, then clone it back to the internal drive. You'll be back to your pre-Leopard state, so you can try it again.
    You can then trouble-shoot potential problems and try again. You can also use the +Archive and Install+ option to install Leopard, which retains your user settings and data but gives you a fresh system. The default installation method installs Leopard over the existing system, and that can somethings cause problems; for example, you may have third-party system extensions installed that are not compatible with Leopard.

  • Upgrading from Panther to Leopard

    Hello,
    I wanted to upgrade my Powerbook G4 from Panther to Leopard. Was told I needed to upgrade to Tiger first then to Leopard. I bought the Leopard installation CD and will be using the Tiger installation CD that came with my MacBook. Am I good to go? I already enabled the "root" user and is trying to back up my files (which I have another problem with --- been getting error messages such as 1.) "One or more items can't be copied. Do you want to skip them and copy the remaining items? 2.) You cannot copy the item "Icon" because the name is too long or includes characters that the disk cannot display."
    Would very much appreciate any help I could get =)
    Many thanks!

    As already mentioned you do not need to upgrade first to Tiger. In any event you cannot use an Intel version of Tiger on a PPC Mac or vice-versa. Fortunately, you can upgrade directly to Leopard from Panther or you can do an Archive and Install which is what I would recommend:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) 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, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    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.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
    DO NOT ENABLE THE ROOT USER!! It is not recommended nor necessary for backing up your data. Copying files is not how you do a proper backup. Read the following:
    Basic Backup
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
    6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
    7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
    8. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
    9. Data Backup (Commercial)
    The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
    1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
    2. Toast
    3. Impression
    4. arRSync
    Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
    Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
    Although you can buy a complete FireWire drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
    Cool Drives
    OWC
    WiebeTech
    Firewire Direct
    California Drives
    NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.
    Note that before doing your backup you should do the following:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) 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 shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) 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.

  • Upgrading Question: From  Panther to Leopard... PhotoShop 7.0 to CS3?

    I just upgraded from Panther to Leopard and need to upgrade my PhotoShop 7.0 to CS3. What do I need to do to insure the upgrade is successful? And... what do I need to pull from my OS 9 before I delete it?

    *"What do I need to do to insure the upgrade is successful? "*
    You shouldn't have to do anything...just install CS3.
    Regardless, since Photoshop is not an Apple product, you should post your questions on Adobe's discussion forums, rather than an Apple forum that focuses on the isntallation of OS X:

  • Photoshop CS6 can't save to server after upgrading to Mac OS Yosemite Server from Mac Lion Server

    We recently upgraded our server from a Mac Pro 2008 with OS X Lion Server to a Mac Mini 2014 with LaCie 20TB 5Big Thunderbolt 2 RAID drive. Everything is working fine with the exception of Photoshop. It does it intermittently but once it happens it will continue to do so. We get message like "Can't save to disk because of disk error" and "Can't save file because of program error" . Sometime we are able to do a "save as" and save over it. Most of the time we have to "save as" with a different file name and then rename and recopy the file. We have check permission on all the file as well as the server HD has ignore ownership checked. Again only three things changed. 1) Sever hardware change from Mac Pro to Mac Mini. 2) Server software upgraded from 10.7 Lion to 10.10 Yosemite(both have the latest update). 3) Drive when from internal on Mac Pro to External Thunderbolt 2 LaCie drive. We have no problem with Illustrator or Indesign. Only Photoshop. Anyone with any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately you seem to be using Photoshop in a way that Adobe discourages, so you may not be getting a lot of helpful advice.

  • Upgrading Mac OS X Server 10.6 to Mac OS X Server 10.6 to fix issues

    I have a new XServe that was migrated from a G5 10.5 Server. Mac OS X 10.6.2 appears to have caused some issues which I did not realize until I attempted the 10.6.3 upgrade which utterly failed. It appears that 10.6.2 is not running many cli tools and in 10.6.3 I have found the entire var dir at least is incorrect. Tools in 10.6.2 that are not working include locate, ln, and man if not more.
    I would like to reinstall. This server is bound to a AD server and I have read that you can upgrade 10.6 server to 10.6 server so I wanted to verify this as it would be the simplest way for me to do this.

    I made a clone of the server boot drive and ran some test to see what was possible. This can be easily done by erasing a drive and then installing a fresh Mac OS X Server 10.6. Upon reboot supply the serial number and then it will ask to migrate the data and you can choose the existing install (in my case I had one clone with 10.6.2 and one with 10.6.3). After this I tested to see that the OS was in good shape unlike the 10.6.2 which was missing key unix functionality (man, ln, and others). I then updated with the Combo updater to 10.6.3 v1.1 and all was well.

  • Upgrade from panther to leopard-partition new macintosh hard drive?

    hello,
    i have some upgrade questions:
    i have a mac g5, dual 2.5 with 4 gigs of ram in it. i've been running logic pro 7.1.1 for the last three and half years or so on panther, never switched up to tiger. my computer hasn't been running so great so recently, (problems with audio midi setup in logic, and with i-tunes) and also my mac hd is almost full. i bought leopard and logic 8. before trying an installation i used carbon copy cloner 3.01 to make bootable clone of my my hard drive onto an external firewire drive, (it boots up fine, albeit with the same little wierd issues as the original hard drive) would it make sense, since my hard drive is so full anyway, to buy a larger internal hard drive to replace the original hard drive, partition it somehow into two parts, clone the clone back to one of the partitions to have my panther setup on an ATA, then install leopard on the other half? would i risk bringing the wierdnesses back, or would they only be confined to the one leopard partition. is this even possible? if so, how would i do it?
    thanks!
    dave

    What makes sense to me it to just leave the old Panther install on the original drive and install a new faster 500 GB internal drive for Leopard. Your PowerMac can have more than 1 internal drive and can boot from any drive with an OS on it.
    I would not do an upgrade install with all the old and apparently corrupt files in your old system. Leopard has proven that if you start out with a less than perfect system, the upgrade will make it worse. The list of strange behaviors and problems that look like bugs on this forum is very long and you would be importing your existing wierdness and possibly just make it worse. There are several programs that actually break the upgrade so that it won't even boot.
    Download the 10.5.2 Combo Update from Apple. Install OS 10.5 fresh to the new drive. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility. Install the 10.5.2 update and Repair Permissions again.
    If you want your iLife applications you will need to get them from the Bundled Software installer on your original setup discs for Panther or you can buy the latest versions separately (iLife is not included on the Leopard Retail DVD).
    Use Software Update to get the latest versions of just about all your Apple programs and Repair Permissions again. Install your new Logic Pro and new Leopard versions of all your applications. If a program isn't updated for Leopard make sure there are no problems with it from it's support group. If it's no longer supported don't use it and find a replacement program that is.
    Setup your email preferences and accounts fresh. You can import your messages later, along with your other data files that are important. If you don't spend a few hours setting up your new fresh OS properly, you will spend weeks trying to get a broken upgrade to work. You stand a much better chance if you don't start out badly.
    Depending on it's size, the external drive can be used for Time Machine for awhile or to clone your Leopard installation to in case you ignore my recommendation for a fresh install and go ahead with the update.

  • Upgrading from Panther to Leopard tips?

    Hi, I'd like to upgrade from Panther 10.3.9 to Leopard, ideally the newest version.  I have an I-book G4, 1.33GHZ, currently 512 MB RAM and 30.98 GB available disk space.
    First question, is 512 RAM enough, or would it be important to get additional RAM for best performance?  I think the most I could upgrade to with this computer would be 1.25 GB RAM.  Or would it be better to get Tiger instead?  What's the worst that could happen if I run Leopard with only 512 MB RAM?  Computer slowing down?  I would mostly use it for web surfing and writing with Word 2004, so nothing complicated.  Thing is, I wouldn't want to spend too much money on this old computer, and more RAM would be another 30$ at least.
    Also, is there any upgrade version that might be cheaper to buy than the full retail version?  If so, what is it called?  If I get the full retail, are they all the same and should I basically be safe with any disk that has the large "X" on it (as opposed to the gray disks that might only work for specific computers)?  Not all sellers offer the whole box, which is fine, I really just need the disk, but I want to make sure I'm getting the right thing.
    Do you know of a good place to get Leopard for a good price?  Is it generally safe to buy a used disk?  I would only need it for this one install, don't care if the disk is dirty, as long as it works.
    I still have the Leopard disk from my I-mac, is there any way to install Leopard from that disk, or is full retail the only option?

    Leo uses more resoueces, especially Video card relaed...
    Tiger Requirements...
    To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
        * A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
        * Built-in FireWire
        * At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
        * DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
        * At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools  (I recommend 20GB minimum)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1514
    I still have the Leopard disk from my I-mac, is there any way to install Leopard from that disk, or is full retail the only option?
    Sorry, no, it's Intel & machine specific.
    main thing for her would be access to internet (being able to watch basic videos online, mail, search, see all photos on a website.
    In the end, not much differences as far as that, both are outdated... but I use both daily on the Internet.
    Do you know if the old AOL software would work with either Tiger or Leopard?  My mother still uses that and is used to it, although I might be able to get her to just check her e-mail on Safari in exchange for better internet access.
    No idea, but AOL became irrevelant decades ago, Apples Mail App can be setup in 10.4/110.5 to access most anything, & theres better/safer Browsers in eithere OSSX...
    TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    I'd avoid vesrion 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
    SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...
    http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
    http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
    Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions.

  • Upgraded to 10.5 server from 10.4 but Server Admin won't upgrade Apache 2

    I am attempting to upgrade an Intel XServe from Mac OS X Server 10.4 to 10.5. Everything goes perfect with all services and setting restored. However, when I attempt to use the Apache upgrade option in Server Admin to switch to Apache 2, it fails with the error:
    "The server reported the error: 'CANNOTTRANSLATEERR' while processing a command of type: 'setApacheMode'"
    The server itself is a modest set-up. It is essentially a private web server running only ftp, http, mail, a firewall, and about 20 users. I am also hosting two of the domains on https with certs.
    I figured this has something to do with translating the Apache 1.3 config files. I am working on development machine with a clone of the server so I have been trying everything I can think of or find on the net to cure this but have had no luck. I have searched several Mac-centric forums and have found nothing.
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Yes, I did try 127.0.0.1 as well as the OS given domain ddeweb.local and even localhost. But no luck. In addition, I also tried various things with the config files in /etc/apache2 up to and including complete replacement of the entire /etc/apache2 directory with one from a clean 10.5 server install. That didn't even work.
    The other thing I tried in an attempt to rule out the virtual host files was to disable all but the default host config which was refreshed with the default config. Still didn't work.
    As for the output from in the terminal app:
    Oddly enough the serveradmin command produced nothing. It just came back with the prompt.

  • Upgrading My Oracle App Server from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3 without uninstalling ?

    Hi All,
    Is their any way we can just upgrade the app server from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3 with uninstalling the older 10.1.2 and reinstalling 10.1.3 ?
    Thanks
    Raghavendra

  • After 10.5 upgrade Mac will not boot from hard drive

    I just upgraded to 10.5 Leopard but my mac will not boot from the hard drive even after selecting my hard drive as the startup disk. The mac will start to boot but will cut itself off before the boot is complete. I have to leave the Leopard disk in the mac and hold down C to get the mac to turn on but it only allows me to install the software again.

    instead of archive and install you might first want to try restoring your system using TM to some time point before your failed 10.5.1 upgrade. Then try upgrading to 10.5.1 again. I would suggest downloading the full 110 MB upgrade and installing it manually rather than doing it through the software upgrade menu.
    You can download the upgrade here:

  • Upgrade from Panther to Leopard on PowerBook G4

    Hi-
    I just bought Leopard (for $129 directly from apple) and am interested in knowing the steps I would need to take to upgrade from Panther (10.3.9) on a PowerBook G4 with the following specs:
    Machine Model: PowerBook G4 17"
    CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.1)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 1.5 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
    Memory: 512 MB
    Bus Speed: 167 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.8.4f1
    I have 11 GB of disk space available.
    Do I have the correct system requirements to make this transition seamlessly? Anything else I need to get?
    Thanks!

    What's the difference between getting an external hard drive vs. the card? I'll definitely go with 160GB to be on the safe side.
    See my reply in your other thread.
    I keep reading that Archive&Install is giving people problems. Given my situation, would you recommend Upgrade or Archive&Install or Erase& Install?
    I'm running Tiger and did not know that A&I was giving people problems on Leopard. If that's the case, I would definitely do the Upgrade (if that is an option like it has been on previous OSX installers).
    My main thing is that I'm going to need to keep Office 2004 (which I learned should work on Leopard).
    Given that, use the Upgrade method.
    Unless... this may sound silly, but can I save it on disks or something? (I don't have the original install disks anymore).
    That's not silly at all, and with some applications it will work. I do not know if that's the case with Office, but I would recommend against it. OSX often needs to "weave" parts of an app into itself via the installation, and copying the actual app will not do that. If you have a disk image of the installation disc, that's a different story, and it will copy/work fine.
    Also, when I do the backup (via Super Duper?), where does all the stuff end up living? If it's on my hard drive, doesn't that get taken away when I replace it with the newer/bigger one?
    I use SD and think it's the best cloning app out there. You need to save it on an external source, otherwise you're correct, it's still "living" on your PB's HD, and if you erase that HD or something happens to it, all that data is gone.
    In your situation, I would consider either an external HD or an enclosure. With an external, you'll be able to use if for backups, which would be a very good idea if you value your data. 300GB and even larger can be found for under $100. I'd recommend a FireWire model, so you can then boot your PB from it if you want/need to.
    If money is an issue and you choose not to backup (a bad idea, as all HDs eventually die), you may get an external enclosure. Install the new HD in it, SD/clone your PB's internal HD to it, install the new HD in your PB, and you're good to go. 2.5" enclosures can be purchased for under $10.
