Can't Connect to OS X Server 10.6.4 using AFP - but can via SMB

OK, I'm stumped. This is a brand new Mini server running OS X Server 10.6.4. I can connect from 10.5 and 10.6 clients using SMB but not AFP. Access to all services is set to 'Allowed' so it's not a service restriction.
Server has good DNS resolution for itself. This happened using OD and then I demoted it to Standalone to see if that would make any difference. None. Rebooted several times.
The AFP logs show this when a user tries to connect:
IP 192.168.111.4 - - [29/Jul/2010:22:24:28 -0500] "Login adam" 0 0 0
IP 192.168.111.4 - - [29/Jul/2010:22:24:30 -0500] "Logout adam" 0 0 0
But on the client side you get a dialog "There was an error connecting to the server. Check your connections and try again."
Possibly related to this, not all folders show up in the share when connected via SMB. All folders are there when viewed on the server though. Have forced share permissions down the tree several times. Reboots. Nada.
Thoughts? Never seen this happen before in many years of OS X Server work.

I have exactly the same issue --
Have an Xserve running 10.6.4
File Sharing is setup.
Can access files using SMB but not AFP --from Mac OS X 10.5.8
Can access perfectly from Windows 7.

Why not do a "Restore" in iTunes to set it back to factory settings? That will eliminate any previous information that is causing you issues in use. You will have an iPod which you can sync as if it is new with your settings and info.

Hi jenette,
If you are having issues using an HDTV via HDMI as an external display to your MacBook Air, you may find the following article helpful:
OS X: How to use multiple displays with your Mac in Mountain Lion and earlier
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5019
(Note: You will generally only see the arrangement option in Displays when you are configured to use the external display in Extended Desktop mode; there is no arrangement in Mirroring as both screens are showing the same image.)

ITunes "can't connect to the CDDB server" for tracks on a CD (but can once I've imported them)

When I insert a CD into my computer, iTunes cannot get the track names before importing, I get the "Unable to connect to the CDDB server. The network cannot be reached." Bizarrely, however, once I import the tracks onto my PC and ask iTunes to 'Get Track Names' for the files in my library, it can do it fine. I am also able to access the iTunes Store without trouble.
Also, in what I'm sure is related, the Apple Software Update program does not work anymore ("The server could not be found"), so I've to manually download new versions of iTunes from the Apple website.
I've had this problem for months, and I've tried pretty much every solution I'd seen posted for similar problems (reinstalling iTunes, disabling my virus protection, updating Gracenote, ensuring the proxy settings are automatic) with no success.

I've just tried putting my computer into Safe Mode (with netwroking) to check if there was some other program stopping it from working properly, but iTunes still acted the same. It's more of a minor inconvienience than a problem, seeing as I can just get track names after importing and update manually, but it's still pretty baffling.

Built in ftp server, I want to use it, but do not think I can

I enabled the ftp server, I want to use it, I am not sure it is up to the task.
With it on, users can ftp in just fine, I set the ftp settings to log ftp users into their home directory. I plan on having 1000's of ftp users, and they do not all need to get home directories.
I created a sharing only account, and changed their home path to /Library/WebServer/Documents/them
I also changed their shell to /sbin/nologin
This did not work, they were not allowed to login, nothing at all in the logs either.
So I move to a standard user, and then they can login, as long as I do not change the shell they use. I do not want them to have ssh access.
I ended up just hand configuring the ftp server, which means I am not going to be able to use Server Admin, or it will mess up my settings. I really do not want to create system users for ftp accounts anyway. Ideally, I could create ftp users with TLS, but I do not see that as an option, and OS X does not seem to be simple to set up ssh chroot, so that is not an option either.
Suggestions on a shared hosting machine?

Apple's implementation of lukemftp isn't very robust for hosting needs. They have spent little effort on crafting the GUI to support multiple accounts (via WGM) pointing to the same domain space, or paths within a sandbox (say you want to craft a second account to point to a subdirectory of a site --not with Apple's exceptionally primitive GUI in this regard). Apple also hasn't spent any effort to update their website for OS components: http://www.apple.com/opensource/, so this isn't really on their radar. Many hosting companies have begged Apple to address these issues ... going back many years. The results of their attentiveness is the product you now have.
You should take a few minutes to post your wishes, and your disappointments, via the feedback tool within the Server Admin menu.
Then follow Alex's suggestion to consider pureftpd.

Server 2012 Local Shares - Cannot access using \\IP but works via \\localhost

I've been stuck on this problem for the last couple of days and I can't find a solution on the internet that works.
I have a Windows Server 2012 instance running on Amazon AWS with a public IP address. I am using it as an SCCM (System Center 2012 Configuration Manager) Server (so it is a Domain Controller also). I realize that it's probably not best practice to use a public
IP here, but I'm in a weird position where we are not connecting any of the Clients to the actual Domain (they are Workgroup computers all around the world). The goal here is to use SCCM to deploy software packages to all of the Clients, which are not on the
same LAN/VPN/Domain.
This is my first time setting something up like this, so I followed this guide. I am able to get the Workgroup computers to show up in the SCCM Server Device list (via manual client install), but these Workgroup computers need access to the Server's shares
to download the software packages. On Amazon, I opened all ports and allowed all IPs to communicate with the Server. I am able to RDP into the Server from any Workgroup computer using the IP address, but cannot access the Server's SMB shares even though I
am attempting the connection with a Domain account with access to those shares.
I decided to see if I can even connect to the shares locally on the Server. Logging in with an account with administrator privileges, I can access \\localhost\shares without
a problem. But when I try to do \\X.X.X.X\shares,
it asks for user/pass (confirming that it is able to connect) and I put in the correct credentials for the account with administrator privileges (using DOMAIN\ACCOUNT), but it continually says that the user/pass is incorrect. After I click cancel, an error
comes up saying "Error Code 0x80004005 Unspecified Error".
It is crazy to me that the administrator account that is logged in cannot access the local shares via the public IP address... obviously no remote computer would be able to access the shares if the Server itself cannot. I have tried disabling the firewall,
but this makes no difference. I am able to ping the IP from the Server and I get a response.
I have searched around the internet for a solution but nothing has worked. Here are some of the suggestions I've found (that have failed):
- Making sure "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks is installed and enabled for the Ethernet Adapter
- Enabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP in IPv4 properties
- Ensuring IPv6 is disabled
- Server, TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, and Workstation (services) are all running
Any ideas? Sorry for such a long post, just wanted to get as many details as I could. All help is appreciated. Thanks!
Shawn

Hi,
Are there any anti-virus software or other third party products running on the server? If yes, please disable them to see if it resolves the issue.
Here is a similar thread below I suggest you refer to:

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.

I think it is somewhere related to DISPLAY parameter of the Solaris machine and the xhost file???
Any inputs???

You need to connect to a X-Server, since you are using java.awt.Font
The Font implementation needs a graphical subsystem (it has something to do with Frame.addNotify, ...)
I've heard about a simple (FrameBuffer?) XServer implementation without a graphical output. Perhaps you may find some more information in the FAQ section for JAVA/JSP

How to connect to a Sql server from Oracle using db link

Hi All,
Does anybody have any idea about how to connect to a sql server from oracle database using db link to syncronize the data? I need to pull the data from Sql server table to Oracle tables and relay messages back to the sql server.
Thank you,
Praveen.

we have 2 products - DG4MSQL and DG4ODBC.
DG4ODBC is for free and requires a 3rd party ODBC driver and it can connect to any 3rd party database as long as you use a suitable ODBC driver
DG4MSQL is more powerfull as it is designed for MS SQL Server databases and it supports many functions it can directly map to SQL Server equivalents - it can also call remote procedures or participtae in distributed transactions. Please be aware DG4MSQL requires a license - it is not for free.
Check out Metalink and you'll find notes how to configure both products.

Oracle Provider connectivity issues in 2008 server (for Standard Users)

Hi
We're using Windows 2008 R2 server and installed a VB application. The application has the capability to connect to Access, SQL Server or Oracle Datbase using OLEDB providers. When I login as "Administrator", the application connects to all three databases.
But, When I login as "Standard user" in the server and try to connect to the Oracle Database (using Oracle OLEDB provider), the application errors "Database server doesn't exist or Access denied".
We are using Oracle 10g (oraops10.dll, version 1.102.2.20) client. We have also provided the full access rights to "Authenticated Users" and "Users" account in the server and still get this error.
Any suggestions/ideas, why this error occurs?

I don't think, you're correct.
As mentioned in my post, the application works fine when I logged as "Administrator". Only for the "Standard users" logins, the application doesn't work.
The Windows Server restricts the oracle database connectivity for the standard users. My questions, does oracle require "special permission" for certain folders, so the standard users can connect to the oracle database.?

Connecting to the RH Server - Additional Security?

We are testing using our RH8 output on RH8 Server. Setting up the environment went really smoothly except that for some reason we can't publish from our RH8 projects. We get an "Unable to Connect to the RoboHelp Server" error message. The error message even very helpfully suggests using WebHelp output instead. ROTFL! We can see the server and can even get to the default page where the output should be placed when I connect to it via a remote desktop.
Our thinking is that another level of security is required to get this to work. In previous versions there was a IIS Internet Guest Account that was required for each website. As RH8 Server doesn't use IIS we are thinking that there must be something else that links the userid I use to connect to the physical server with the userid used to logon on the Configuration Manager. If we knew this, we could apply this security and test it out.
Is this making sense? Perhaps someone out there in RH8 Server has encountered this. If it makes a difference we are using Tomcat with the JRE and the build-in database. We will change this to use SQL Server Express once our testing is complete.
Read the RoboColum(n) for mutterings on RoboHelp, Technical Communication Suite and technical communication.

OK people you can all stand down as I have managed to figure out what was wrong. The "Server Name" path in my publish destination was missing one vital element. The should should be "<servername>:<port>/robohelp/server". For example if your server is called helpserver and you use port 8080 (it is recommended you do) the path would be "helpsever:8080/robohelp/server". I was missing the "server" off the end. Incidently there is an excellent discussion here with tons of useful information on the set-up and merged projects.
So now I have a successfully created and published project to test with the application. All I need to do now is merge 10 other help files and add context sensitive help. But enough already. Time to go home, have a beer and recharge for Monday. Thanks to Tulika, John, Peter, Kristan and others for the excellent resource mentioned above. Have a great weekend all.
