10.8.2 - Messages Server Stopped Working

Original post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19663473
Just installed 8.2 and the new Server and now my Jabber server will not start.
It just says can't read settings in the ui and at the command line I get:
jabber:error = "CANNOT_LOAD_BUNDLE_ERR"
ML Server is pretty awesome but it's been a disaster so far for me. I am thinking if I could just find the settings file maybe it's corrupt and I can force it to recreate them.. ?

Mike/Ryan,
Its sorted. I deleted the Server app, emptied the bin (important to do), restarted - re-installed the Server App (with my Apple account password) and - hey presto after being patient it all worked OK.
I think I know what the problem is...
If you buy the Mac Mini (or other server machine) with Server App on (pre-installed image), it gets confused when doing the update. This is because the pre-installed Server App has a different update account setting (other than say apps you purchase with your normal iTunes account and what you are probably logged into) - for some reason this screws the permissions up. I also purchased OSX Server APP for another machine, so once I installed the Server app again with my correct purchase details from the app store - the permissions were all OK and it worked.
I think that may be it...
Cheers for all your help - I am smiling again and can now watch a movie with a glass of wine in peace ;-)

  • Show Reply icon in message list stopped working

    About a week ago I noticed that the curvy show reply icon in my Mail message list stopped working. This feature has worked flawlessly with my set-up since it was introduced and suddenly it's dead on all messages going way back.
    I use IMAP but this has not caused problems in the past.
    I tried rebuilding some of the mailboxes but it did not help. I also replied to new messages and it did not work for them either. So it's dead. Anyone got any idea how to get it working again?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pat
    Using...
    Mac 10.5.6
    Mail 3.5

    Well, I repaired permissions and rebooted this morning and now all the Reply icons are working again.
    If you encounter this problem, give it a try.

  • 'Attach photo' to emails and messages has stopped working. Help?

    'Attach photo' to emails and messages has stopped working.
    The function is grayed out. Help?
    — Relatively new iPhone 6+ with latest system ...
    If on a mac, I'd be running a disk utility or looking to overwrite an app, or re-install the system.
    Although over 25 years on Macs, this is my first iPhone... and I'm missing a few (probably) subtle things to do to resurrect this function.
    Help?
    Thanks

    Hi CartoonBob,
    If you are having issues with being unable to attach a photo from Mail on your iPhone, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • My incoming mail server stopped working for the 3rd time Help?

    This is the third time my incoming mail server stopped working any suggestions on how to repair this?
    Thank You!

    If Apple replaced the logic board three times for the same issue, and the third board has now broken for the same reason, you may be able to ask Apple for a replacement machine. You're out of warranty, and Apple is under no obligation to do anything for you (unless the current logic board was replaced by Apple less than 90 days ago in which case it's still under warranty), however, as a good will gesture, they may be willing to exchange your system for another one. You can start at the Apple store or call Apple customer care directly.

  • Sent so large of a message that my messages app stopped working.

    I found the fix for this. This error is caused by sending so many text in a message that your messaging app stops working.
    I'm on IOS 6.0.2 iPhone 5 Verizon. The fix is go to phone app and then click on a contact then click send a message then click cancel and return to threads and then delete thread that messed up messaging app.

    This needs fixed by apple because it can be used as a spam tool. The person I sent the text to they also could not use their messaging app until I showed them the fix. They have an iPhone 4. So if you send this as a group message you could spam a ton of people's phones. This is a dangerous bug.

  • Messages have stopped working

    Why have my messages have stopped working on my ipad and how can i fix it? I've cleared them and turned message off and on again but neither have helped. Everything else appears to still be working, internet, mail, app and itunes downloads, so it just seems to be messages. They get to about 80% sent and then it returns a delivery failed error.

    What a load of rubbish. I have had no problems at all with any of my 4 email servers until I downloaded ios7. Are you telling me all 4 servers have issues.  I don't think so!  I have 4 email accounts on here and cannot receive anything on any of them. I'm not the only one and you are refusing to acknowledge there is a problem.   I have a lot of emails on my ipad which need to be saved so I cannot delete the account off here and put the mail settings on again as I believe I will lose all of the emails. These are important messages.  I would never do an apple update again!!!   I now cannot use emails at all on my ipad so its is now useless to me. Should have bought a samsung.

  • DI Server stopped working after automatic Windows Server 2003 update

    One of my customers is running SBO 2005A SP1 PL22 in Windows 2003 Server environment.
    They are also using DI Server as an integration tool. On September 11, DI Server suddenly stopped working. They just get the notorious -1 / Could not commit transaction error message on each login attempt. I have tried all the usual and unusual quick fixes to resolve the issue, but nothing seems to help.
    To make things odd, I was successful a couple of times when I experimented with different login messages. For instance, if I omitted the <language> and <licenseserver> elements from the message, I was able to get through once. However, a new attempt with the exact same message failed again. Thus the DI Server is not completely down, it's just in some kind of limp mode.
    I checked what had changed that night and I realized that there had been huge automatic Windows updates on the evening of September 10, 2009. There was IE8, .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and a huge array of security etc patches that had been automatically installed. I'm pretty confident that one of these is the cause of the problem. However, I would hate to blindly roll all those updates back.
    Is there anyone out there who's had this same problem and possibly found a cure ?
    As the customer is running a version that's no longer supported, no support can be expected from SAP. They will just tell us to upgrade to 2007 before any further help is given. Weill, it seems that people out here in the SDN usually have a much better knowledge about the product than SAP does
    Henry

    Hi Gordon,
    Is DI Server really using some version of the .NET framework? If so, do you know which one ?
    Best Regards,
    Henry

  • 10.5.5 break anti-virus mail server stops working

    We updated to 10.5.5 and suddenly our server stopped forwarding mail.
    I noticed in the logs that the anti-spam and anti-virus (clamav etc.) were failing to update and run. The server was brutally slow. I turned off the anti-virus checks and everything is working again after two days of searching.
    Any idea what broke and how a newbie could fix it?
    Thanks,

    I've had to turn off virus scanning to get any forwarding done.
    The spam filter is working but the server grinds to a halt every few minutes, then catches up. Like it's trying something, gives up, and then goes back to work for a bit until it tries again.
    The server is running web services and mail forwarding to the University only.
    Our firewall restricts outgoing (internet) from the server only accepting incoming requests. That way if it gets hacked it can't attack anyone. We're able to run mac updates via the University software update server (local outgoing is allowed).
    Thank you again for any help you can offer.

  • Connection to Virtual server stopped working via manager and RDP

    Hi
    At first, sorry for my English
    I have trouble with our Hyper-v server. There are 2 virtual servers running on it. One Domain controller and one Application server. It working fine, but it stopped working for 3rd time (randomly). No event is written in event viewer . If it happen, I can´t
    connect via Hyper-v manager or RDP to the virtual machines and the services on virtual servers doesn´t work. It doesn´t write any error message or something while I trying to connect. I tried to restart hyper-v service with no result . It started working when
    i restarted whole Hyper-v server. 
    Can you please help me with this one ? 
    thx

    Hi ,
    Please check the VM's state in hyper-v manager when it "stopped" .
    What is the host's OS ?
    What is the guest OS ?
    Did you check hyper-v log ( event viewer --> application and services log -->microsoft --> windows -->then check   hyper-v logs to find some useful information )
    Also please check event log in VM .
    Best Regards

  • My Samba server stopped working and I have no idea why.

    I set up a samba server once I got arch installed and it was working like a boss for about a month. Then one day (i think the machine may have rebooted) it just stopped working. I can't access my samba share from any of my other machines (all running Windows 7). I hadn't changed anything so I don't know what the culprit is. I did some update and looked at the smb.conf file but everything seems to be in order. I also tried to connect with smbclient from the machine itself and I get an NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED error.
    What's going on?
    Here is my smb.conf
    # This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
    # smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
    # here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
    # many!) most of which are not shown in this example
    # For a step to step guide on installing, configuring and using samba,
    # read the Samba-HOWTO-Collection. This may be obtained from:
    # http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf
    # Many working examples of smb.conf files can be found in the
    # Samba-Guide which is generated daily and can be downloaded from:
    # http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf
    # Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
    # is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
    # for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
    # may wish to enable
    # NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
    # to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.

    Hi,
    My thought is to check the current IP of the server, as your smb.conf has the line interfaces = 192.168.1.109 which means samba will only listen on that interface for requests. If the IP of the server has changed, that would explain why samba isn't working.

  • MESSAGING app STOPPED WORKING

    Why has this app stopped working i have only had the phone for two days
    i can`t send any messages because it keeps saying closing down

    This is a problem that has been plaguing the Z2 phone too, and Sony isn't doing anything about it.
    It happens as well with contacts and Android process. they all sut down making the phone unavailable for a small amount of time.
    I sometimes wonder if they can actually sell a product that has this problem and not disclaim it, as it makes for a bad user experience.
    Head over to the Z2 forums and see how many complaints there are on this, quite a few!
    Customer support advise you to restore the phone, backup everything, and then go through the apps one by one to see which one is doing this... How about they issue a fix and make their flagship phone work properly?! That would be better.
