10.7 VPN Config with Server.app Not Working

I have a clean install of 10.7.2 running on an Xserve.
Configure VPN using the new method through the Server.app, no problems.
Generate .mobileconfig file and install on remote systems
all necessary ports have been opened on Firewall for server and for external clients (note that the problem exists even with firewalls disabled)
attempt to VPN into server and receive error message: "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond. Try reconnecting. If the problem continues, verify your settings and contact your Administrator."
I have verified that the user account has VPN enabled; correct SharedSecret, etc.; even with admin account this fails
Any thoughts or wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
Resulting log is:

Enable group mailing list in Server.app not working

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to enable a new (?) feature of Server.app : "Enable group mailing list". Until now, it does not work for me. When I try to send an email to the group [email protected], Mail tells me that the smtp server cannot send my message. Here is what I see on the server's /var/log/mail.log file :
Sep 10 16:55:54 testserver01.pretendco.net postfix/smtpd[2311]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from testclient01.pretendco.net[10.1.101.10]: 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<testclient01.pretendco.net>
Sep 10 16:55:54 testserver01.pretendco.net postfix/smtpd[2311]: disconnect from testclient01.pretendco.net[10.1.101.10]
It is interesting to note that group mailing list aren't even mentioned in the Mac OS X Server Advanced Administration Guide :
http://help.apple.com/advancedserveradmin/mac/10.8/#apd9430d30c-5796-4a20-a8f9-1 20638938942
Does any has any good/bad experience with group mailing lists under Mountain Lion Server ? Any advice ?
Thanks a lot !

Hello Mark23 and thanks for your help !
The log says nothing particular when I (un)set the "Enable Group Mailing List Option". The only difference I see is a line saying mail_groups[127]: sleeping for: 1 hour(s). I have no idea what this means exactly. Googling it did not help me much either.
I post the /etc/aliases file below. Interesting : every time I (un)set the "Enable Group Mailing List" option, the /etc/aliases last access time changes. But the md5 hash of the file stays the same.
I guess that the "sudo newaliases" uses /etc/aliases to construct the binary database file /etc/aliases.db ? It seems that this script is run every time I (un)check the option since the access time of *both* /etc/aliases and /etc/aliases.db are changed to the current time.
Do you have any other option checked ?
Here is my /etc/aliases (I removed the blocks of comments at the beginning and at the end):

Issue with iPad: apps not working

Hi all. Also iPod and iPhone user, I just bought the iPad2. But, differently from the other ones I'm having big troubles with the Apps on iPad. The icon is getting on the screen after downloading, but no downloads ensue. Only thing I get is "waiting...", and I can't use any new App. Same story with updates of existing Apps. Once update is agreed upon, the App goes in the same kind of "limbo mode".
Who can help out and resolve this issue?!
Many thanks already!
Cheers
Kristof

Finish the download in iTunes on your computer.
Launch iTunes and go to Store>Check for Available Downloads. If you have one available, go ahead and download it to the computer. Maybe that will open up the pipeline on the iPad. You can sync the app or update to the iPad. Or if it was an app clogging the download stream, you can download it again on the iPad without syncing via the purchased tab in the App store.
If that doesn't work, try a couple of basics.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

How can I get help with an app not working properly?

I just bought a 'learn Gujarati' app and the sound is so low I can hardly hear it even with the sound control on the iPad turned up as high as it would go. I have only had the iPad a few months - present from children, and I LOVE it and want to make most of it, thanks, Chrissy

Java apps not working right

I lately have found problems with Java apps not working correctly. For example, in Yahoo Widgets I cannot get any widget preferences to display; in Apple's Java Preferences for J2SE 5.0 the preference window opens but is blank; and in JBidwatcher the buttons are missing in main and preference windows.
When I log in as another user I find all those apps work properly, so it seems to be something wrong within my User folder. I tried reinstalling the Java J2SE50ReIease4 but it didn't help. Is there something I can delete and/or reinstall to fix this problem?

Ditto here,
I made the mistake of thinking I could throw away the preferences in the Java folder and new pref's would automatically replace the missing pref's, much to my surprise no such thing happened. My settup is the same as yours, except my OS is 10.4.8.
Someone please help.
Thanks,

Mail, iCal Server and iChat server will not work over VPN

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station at the office running the network. Behind it sits a Mac Mini Snow Leopard server running 10.6.3. The ports necessary for Mail, iCal Server and iChat work fine through that external connection. I can also connect with VPN from my 10.6.3 clients.
HOWEVER, when I connect with the VPN clients, I am suddenly unable to access the Mail, iCal Server, Wiki server and iChat server. All connections time out. I can ping the server and I can do other things that do NOT work on the public Airport like ssh or VNC. ssh and VNC are closed at the airport extreme.
So it's pretty odd. When I'm connected via the VPN, all ports that are forwarded to the Snow Leopard server time out over the VPN.
I've tried various and sundry configurations with the VPN client. This includes trying to send all traffic over the VPN, moving it up in the service order, etc. etc. Nothing fixes it. DNS resolution is working fine, however when I do a wireshark capture of ppp0 traffic, I notice that SSL and TLSv1 handshakes appear to occur on the public IP address instead of the private network IP address... and they're all resets.
Has anyone gotten this to work successfully? Like I said, all ports that are NOT forwarded through the Airport work fine over the VPN, but will not work when connected to the VPN. It's really bizarre.

New data: any ports that are normally forwarded on the Airport Extreme to the Mac Mini server will not work when connected to the VPN.
For instance, if I have imaps/993 forwarded from the Airport Extreme to the Mac Mini, it works fine over the Internet. If I connect to the VPN, I can connect to all OTHER services on the Mac Mini, but Mail, for instance, will not work.

Default Mail app not working with yahoo mail. Won't update.

Default Maill app not working with Yahoo Mail.
It stopped working the other day. I tried everything but it wouldn't update new mail. The yahoo account itself is fine because I can see new mail on Yahoo or a yahoo app.
I tried deleting the account and putting it back on, but now it has 0 mail in any part of it. Nothing has synced.
What do I do?
iPad 2 latest OS.

A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.
https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2659/configure-imap-for-iphone-or-ipad.aspx
https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
On the iPhone, tap Settings.
Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
Tap Add Account.
Tap Other.
Tap Add Mail Account.
Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
Click Next.
Ensure IMAP is selected.
Enter the following incoming mail server information:
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 993
Requires SSL: Yes
Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
Username is your full email address
Password is the same password used to access webmail.
Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465 or 587
Requires SSL: Yes
Requires authentication: Yes
Username is your full email address
Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
Tap Next.
The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
That’s all!

PhpMyAdmin working with Server.app?

Has anyone had any success enabling mcrypt in PHP5.3.15 so that phpMyAdmin works while Server.app is running?
I've able to get it working under Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion but not while Server.app is running on by Mac Mini (late 2012) under 10.8.3.
I'm still under the 90-day telephone support, but Apple says this issue isn't covered. (Boo!) But for a mere $695 they can help me out with the problem that is related to a symbolic link (or lack thereof).
Has anyone gotten phpMyAdmin to work with Server.app?
Thanks in advance.

The solution:
Copy mcrypt.so from
/User/server/mcrypt/php5.3.15/ext/mcrypt/.libs/mcrypt.so
to
/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/mcrypt.so
Saved $695!

Issues with Server.app

hello together,
I have some issues with Server.app.
I connect to a server in our local network.
In the Users tab I see only local users of the server, not the network accounts
When I choose "Manage Network Accounts" from the "Manage" Menu, it tells me to configure the server as a network directory, but it is already configured as such.
When I hit "next" and enter account information for the directory admin it tells me that this server is already configured to manage network accounts.
How can I view and mange the network accounts again?
Thanks in advance

Just fyi, I was not able to resolve this on my migrated server. Every time when I imported the OD backup from 10.5.8 Server.app couldn't load the user or group list and issues an error message with "error 5000" or something. Check if you have that in your logs, too. If so, Server.app is no longer able to authenticate against the OD. There are several threads regarding this 5000-error, none of them worked for me. Usually this happens when the hostname, IP or something in the OD setup changes and the agreed keys no longer work for authentication. As mentioned, I never managed to get that to work again and had to use a fresh OD and create the users from a list (without pwd). Not very charming.

Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "
i was in 4.3.1 then i do the update , but now after update i face this problem , so what i Supposed to do ?!!

Hi There
Had the same problem as you. App would terminate when launched.
Solution to working You Tube app:
-Go to playstore
- Uninstall app (it doesn't remove the app, only removes the update)
- "Et Voila", working again.
This doesn't correct the problem, it's just a workaround for you to be able to use youtube app again.
Hope it helped.
Best Regards

Mail flooded with unread messages/FB app not working...linked?

All at once my Mail inbox has over 2,400 messages and Facebook app not working. I have not updated the last 2 updates bc of storage, but don't know why yesterday it decided to have a problem with that? Any ideas what's going on and how to fix it?

After Googling this issue to death, I finally clicked on the ? icon in the mail preferences panel. Apparently this is working as intended:
Display unread messages with bold font:
