Can i use MAC OS X SERVER for few web sites?!

Can i?!

Here is the OS X Server web page.  That and the pages it links to will be of interest to you.  
As Strontium90 indicates, yes, you can host via the provided Apache, and Apache supports so-called multiple virtual hosts.
Though some of the Apple pages indicate that no IT department is required, you will need an understanding of Apache and potentially (probably eventually) its configuration files, of setting up and troubleshooting IP networking and Network Address Translation (NAT) and port forwarding, and of setting up DNS.  You will need to set up DNS services locally, on your NAT'd network.  You will need port forwarding.
To serve these web sites and web pages publicly, you'll also need either a static IP connection from your ISP or minimally an account that does not block TCP port 80 (HTTP) and TCO port 443 (HTTPS) as some ISPs do block those from residential accounts, and you'll probably also want public DNS as folks don't like entering IP addresses.  You'll also need enough network bandwidth for whatever you're doing, and a network gateway-firewall-router device that'll let you port-forward TCP 80 and TCP 443 through to your new server.

  • IPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email.

    iPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email.  "The email server didn't recognise username/password combination".  Both appear correct in preferences/accounts.  Mail sends and receives messages perfectly.
    (This problem also occurs when trying to send from Thunderbird, however both iPhoto and Thunderbird can send perfectly well using the Gmail server).

    Hi there
    I should explain that I have 5 days experience of the iMac but have had a working iCloud account with my iPad for several months.  I don't think this is an iCloud issue as such. My thought is that this is something to do with the Mail application itself and its relationship to my Apple ID etc. (Perhaps when the iMac first configured itself?)
    I have deleted and manually reset both Mail and iPhone account settings for iCloud using the Apple recommended settings and I have tentatively checked that the username/password combination is as expected in Keychain but I'm too much of an Apple novice to go any further with that.
    On a PC I think I would try reinstalling the Mail programme but I don't see that as an option.

  • Can I use Photoshops example images on my companies web site?

    On the Photoshops CD, there is a lot of example images, Can I use these example images on my companies web site?

    Here's the process to roll back:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 4.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
    Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!
    Does that resolve the NASA issues?

  • Can I use Mac Mini Lion server and Time Machine 2Tb together?

    I have TM already and am looking to add a Mac Mini running O XS server soon. I use TM to back up my iMac and MacBook Pro laptop at present. My existing setup also includes a PC running windows which is backed up by an HP media smart server. I want to replace the PC with a Macmini running parallels and windows 7 to run my windows program's and want the TM to back this up also.  I would like the MM server to run my iTunes library to all Apple devices and need to access the files stored on the MM server from my iPad. Is this solution workable?

    The only differences between the current Mac Mini Server
    and the other Mini versions is that it has the quad core i7,
    comes with dual drives, and has the "Server app" installed.
    So, you could install Lion by itself as the server software
    is now a seperate "app" in Lion as opposed to being an
    integral part of the OS.
    BTW, what is the problem you are having?
    I am running a 2011 Mini Server as a desktop and simply
    just did not enable any of the server features when I first
    set up and have not had any issues using it as a desktop.

  • Using .mac as outgoing server

    I would like to use the .mac as an outgoing server for times when I can't use my comcast server (like when I am on the road). This is for an email address that is NOT a .mac address. I do have a .mac account.
    I could have sworn that I had this working at some point in the past, but now it always rejects the outgoing message with the alert:
    The SMTP server "smtp.mac.com" rejected the password for the user...
    Can someone tell me if it is possible to configure this way? If so, what settings do I use exactly?
    Does .mac offer any telephone support? It is very frustrating trying to find out this information.
    Peter

    Hello Peter.
    I don't believe you had this working in the past since Apple has always prevented using the .Mac SMTP server for a non-.Mac email account.
    I don't believe .Mac provides telephone support.
    You can't use Comcast's SMTP server for this email account? Comcast has telephone support but being able to use either Comcast's SMTP server with your Comcast account or the .Mac SMTP server with a .Mac account depends on the ISP used for connecting to the internet when on the road.
    If doing so at a hotel, you need to check with the hotel or hotel's ISP for the required SMTP server settings to send mail from an email account outside of the ISP's network.

  • How can I use my external hard drive for my iphoto instead of my mac book pro memory?

    i don't know if this question has been asked before: how can I use my external hard drive for my iphoto instead of my mac book pro memory? just like itunes all my song are save on my external hard drive. make sense?

    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

    For whatever reason, I can't use (mac) mail 3.6 on my mac G5 with Charter ISP.   I would like to try Thunderbird (TB) - I'm now using Firefox 3.6.28.  But I can't navigate through Mozilla to find older versions  of TB.  Can you suggest a URL for down loading older versions of TB, or, other alternative email programs?

    I have recently moved from Thunderbird to SeaMonkey - much better and up to date with the latest Mozilla code.

  • HT4864 can I use the icloud smtp server as the outgoing server for all my other imap accounts?

    I have several imap accounts. I want to send all my messages using the icloud server. I put the icloud server as the smtp server for each account but mail is not able to send the messages. The configuration is correct for the smtp iclous server, I checked.
    Is there anything I'm missing?
    Fausto

    The only thing you're missing is that you can't do that.  You have to use the correct smtp server for the mail accounts.  Email providers generally don't like sending some other company's mail.    If you want to send from the icloud servers, use your icloud account when composing.

    Because even after 14 years MS has failed to add arabic support to most Office products for Mac.  Instead use Open/LibreOffice or Numbers.

    No. Target Display mode is only supported when connected to a Mac running 10.6 or later.
    It cannot be used with a PC, bootcamp, gamaing console, cable box, DVR or PowerPC Mac.

  • 2 MACs - Can I use .mac to sync POP emails from MAIL when traveling

    I use Yahoo Business (POP) email with the MAC MAIL software. I use a PowerBook G4 at home and just got a new iBook G4 for travel. I want to set up the travel computer and MAIL to receive and send mail while on the road. 2 Questions:
    1) In a perfect world: I want to sync the emails (both sent and received) I worked with on the road with my home computer so I don't have to re-do the work I just did on the road. Can I use .mac to sync my mailbox folders before downloading the messages at home or will this corrupt the library file and make me rebuild my folders every time? I know I can set up the MAIL account to leave the received message on the server for my home computer to download, but this causes a lot more work!
    2) If (1) is not possible, how can I capture the files I sent on the road to my home computer SENT folder? I save all sent messages at home.

    Via the .Mac website, you can have .Mac check the POP account's incoming mail server to download received messages from the POP account to your .Mac account's Inbox mailbox.
    In the interim, send a change of email address to all contacts providing your .Mac email address and start sending messages with your .Mac account.
    When creating a .Mac account in Mail - Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages are stored on the server by default along with received messages. If you want to keep all these mailboxes/messages synchronized with Mail on both Macs, make sure these settings for the account are the same with Mail on both Macs.

  • HT1338 can i install mac os x server on a mac mini?

    I would like to know if i can install a mac os x server on the latest mac mini : http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MD388LL/A?
    I just dont see where the 200 USD difference between model goes to ? !!!
    Plus I would like to upgrade the RAM to 16gb (using corsair memory) , as apple RAM upgrade is way to much...
    Thank you
    Alex

    The software is no different, you can just purchase server off of the app store. Where the extra money goes for the server mini, is the second internal hard drive. if you are just running a home server or a simple set up of sorts, the app will do you just fine for 19.99.
    As with the RAM upgrade. as long as the Corsair memory you have is the same bus speed(1600MHz DDR3), it will work fine.

  • Used Mac OS X server no name or password

    Hello! I had purchased a used MAc OS X server, and it did not come with the Name or password. Any way to change or bypass?

    Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
    The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
    How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
    1. If you don't own another Mac
    a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
    2. If you do own another Mac
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    3. Partition and install OS X
    a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the  Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
              OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
              The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
              You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
    In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
    d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
    4. Other issues
    a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.
