Can't install OS X Server 10.4 on Powermac G4

When I try to install Server on my Powermac G4, with Mac OS X 10.4 using the installation in the other installations folder, so without rebooting from the disc... I get a message I can't install it because the upgrade is only for intel, while it is actually Universal...
Can someone help me? I installed it before and found a way around it somewhere on the internet, but I don't know how I did it anymore.

Hi
Presumably you have 10.4.x client already installed? What version of the client is it? What version of the OSX Installer DVD are you trying to install? Ideally they should be the same. Currently the latest verison of OSX Universal Installer is 10.4.7, ideally the client should be at least that or better still 10.4.8.

Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini?

Hey guys and girls...
Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini? If so how?

WHS is 64-bit. Genius are really not versed in Boot Camp or Windows, let alone anything not on the "approved" list of Windows versions.
Most of the problems are with burning ISO, or the SuperDrive. It should have seen the NTFS partition. Disk Utility is known to be trouble, burning it on your Mac Mine but iwth Windows 7....?
Seeing you have Windows 7, format the partition to NTFS 160GB you want and then exit and boot WHS installer.
Or run the install from Windows 7.
In past, WHS supported TimeMachine, streaming video, supported iTunes (that was broken/disabled it seems by Apple with 10.0), as well as even SuperDuper backups.
Main idea is to have some network attached drives.

I have both a ISO and Burned it to a dvd useing windows 7 built in ISO burning software, Its a 64 bit copy (got from microsoft download website from my dads microsoft account).
It is enouth for the OS but it runs slowish on the mac mini (latest core 2 duo 2.4ghz model) The Idea was to have it backup my pc and laptop to a usb drive and act as a media centre pc (connected to av receaver and tv and on a gigabit network with a 2TB nas)
Since it looks like this may not work, whats the best way to make it into a media centure? mac osx? windows 7? plex? whats best and good?
I'd avoid USB like the plague. Why not use your PC instead? If I was going to use a Mini for WHS, I'd just use the Mini solely for Windows and not have OS X (you can boot OS X off an external drive anyway).

Can I install OS X Server on my Macbook Pro ?

Q1)
Can I install OS X Server on my Macbook Pro (mid 2010) and use it as a server in my small office network ?
Q2)
If i have OS X Server, can some of the client machines be windows Xp / 7 ? Will it work well ?

A1: Yes.
A2: Yes. (Though this is dependent on exactly what you're planning to do. Windows Server and Active Directory will be a better choice for Windows distributed authentication, for instance.)
A3: are you going to have your MacBook Pro configured at a static IP address, with proper local DNS running on your server or some other LAN-local device (server provide and need local DNS, and referencing your ISP DNS won't work here), and will your server be available most- or full-time for the clients that are going to come to depend on the services from the server? If not, then this approach is probably not the best one. What happens to your environment and to any of your shared data if you're carrying your MacBook Pro server around and it happens to get dropped or lost or stolen?
A4: If you're "just" planning on serving storage to your other systems, then get a NAS device. Something akin to an Time Capsule, or a Synology NAS widget, or similar network-attached storage devices are available, flexible, and cost-effective. NAS devices are also usually rather less to manage than a full-blown server, too.
A5: If you have specific services or requirements in mind, somebody here might be able to provide a more specific answer.
TL;DR: Servers differ from clients in that a client outage generally adversely effects only one user, where a server outage generally adversely effects multiple users.

Can I install oracle VM server with lvm and md raid?

Hello,
I am trying to install oracle vm server 2.1.2 on a server with md raid and I would like to use lvm on it. It seems to me that the installer md raid support is not working and lvm support is missing.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance for any reply.
Mario Giammarco

Hi,
now i understand...
hm - if the install does let you create a raid ( mdraid ) -> you can try to setup the system preconfigured by anaconda...
the lines would be like following:
part swap size 8000 asprimary --ondisk cciss/c0d0
part swap size 8000 asprimary --ondisk cciss/c0d1
part /boot fstype ext3 size 200 asprimary ondisk cciss/c0d0
part / fstype ext3 size 14750 asprimary ondisk cciss/c0d0
part /appl fstype ext3 size 30000 asprimary ondisk cciss/c0d1
part raid.01 size 1000 grow --ondisk cciss/c0d0
part raid.02 size 1000 grow --ondisk cciss/c0d1
raid /disk/disk1 level 0 device=md0 --fstype ext3 raid.01 raid.02
-> check out the your anaconda file: #/root/anaconda*
-> -> modify the part lines and setup a anaconda installer...
( would also a better idea - if you like to install standarized systems )
let me know - if you need assistance with anaconda...

To clarify what was previously mentioned... you can only install 2003 Server using virtualization software such as Parallels or VMware's Fusion. You cannot install Windows 2003 Server using BootCamp which is the boot manager shipped with Leopard.

Can I install Snow leopard server on the new Mac Mini Lion server?

Hi guys, I purchased a Lion Server and I am wondering if its possible to install Snow Leopard server on it.
I have the Snow Leopard Server install discs and everything , just wondering if there is any thing I should take note of, I personally prefer SLS over Lion.
What do you guys think?

There's a huge thread on this (client, not server, but same concept) which you can find here.

Can i install the Portal Server 7 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 ?

hi all,
Can i install Portal Server 7 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 ?
Thnx in Advance.

Hi All,
After tearing my hair out for about 3 weeks I've figured following are the steps for installing Sun Portal Server 7 on RH Linux 4. These though help successful installation I am still struggling to get the Single Sign On for the sample applications working.
1. Boot linux with the network cable disconnected. (cable disconnected or wireless disabled is very important).
2. set Hostname to localhost.localdomain
3. Start INstaller (I always used the root login).
4. Once the components list comes up "select All" then unselect "Sun POrtal Server 7" and "Sun Java System Portal Secure Remote Access". (trust me firends I am not kidding around).
5. Follow steps of installation. Provide a password wherever requested. Highly suggested that you note down the options and the values you are entering in each step. Its about 20 page installer. Also whereever host and domain is asked for use localhost.localdomain. IP should be 127.0.0.1. Valid IP and valid domain name will also work but I haven't gone that route yet.
6. Take special note of the LDAP Admin Password and LDAP user password. Note the usernames too. The admin password and user passwords HAVE to be different. DO NOT Forget the admin password. Default admin name is amAdmin.
7. Go ahead and let the installation complete.
8. I always used localhost.localdomain as domain name and host name and IP to loopback address 127.0.0.1
Once the installation is complete start newly installed server in the following sequence
A. To start localhost slapd:
cd /var/opt/sun/directory-server/slapd-localhost/
./start-slapd
cd /var/opt/sun/directory-server/
./start-admin
(you can test here by running ./startconsole and loggin in using the admin username and password (you you should have remembered those... don't tell me I didn't warn you :)...)
B. To start Sun Java System Application Server
cd /opt/sun/appserver/bin
./asadmin start-domain --user [username] --passwordfile [a simple txt file with only the password in it] [domain name]
e.g.
./asadmin start-domain user admin passwordfile adminpassword.txt domain1 OR
./asadmin start-domain user admin password pass123 domain1
takes a few seconds to kick it off.
open browser and go to http://localhost.localdomain:8080/ to check if application server is running
C. To start Identity Server
cd /opt/sun/identity/bin
./amserver start
Now go to the SunPortal Server installer again and run it.
9. In the screen that asks whether you want to install only or configure select configure now.
10. Fill in required parameters like password. and user name. ( I kept ALL default and used the same password all throughout except for LDAP admin, I am doing this for a PoC so security be damned at the moment ).
11. Be sure to fill in the correct LDAP admin and user passwords because else installation will fail.
12. Let the installation roll
13. At about 38% it will give a popup warning configuration may take upto an hour. If you get to click on this popups ok button good things are progressing fine. If not some server didn't start right.
14. Takes about 15 minutes (depends on machine config) after you hit okay for the configuration to complete. Anything lesser check logs for any failure notices.
15. IF all success reported congratulations!!!
16. Goto http://localhost.localdomain:8080/portal/ to go to portal home page
IT STILL DOESN"T WORK!!! HELP!!!
Folks after all I said above it still doesn't work. When I go to any of the portal server Sample Applications and try to log in using the default usernames
Community Samples has test/test
Enterprise Sample has mary/mary ed/ed etc
I cannot log in... The screen simply refreshes but doesn't go anywhere.
I am suspecting this is because the domain and host is pointing to localhost.localdomain instead it should be given a valid domain name and a valid host and a valid IP instead of 127.0.0.1. If anyone can throw anymore light on this I'll be grateful.

Can I install OS X Server for Leopard on Macs running non-server Tiger?

I need to install OS X Server on a small business network of 5 Macs and 2 pc's. I need to run Mac software on the pc's using Aqua and need to use the pc's to run software that won't run on the Macs.
All my Macs run 10.4.11 (non-server), so what I need to know is will I be able to buy and install OS X Server (Leopard)? Or do I need to buy OS X Server (Tiger)?
And if I can use the Leopard Server version, can I also install it on my Macs at home that don't connect to the work network?
Thanks, Ted

I'm a little confused here.
I need to run Mac software on the pc's using Aqua
Running Mac OS X Server on the Macs won't help here. You can't run Mac software on a PC. The best you can do is screen-share (so the PC can run software that lets it see and control the Mac's screen), but you don't need Mac OS X Server for that.
All my Macs run 10.4.11 (non-server), so what I need to know is will I be able to buy and install OS X Server (Leopard)? Or do I need to buy OS X Server (Tiger)?
You can't but Mac OS X Server 10.4 at all now. It's been EOL for a year or more (I forget when Leopard was released now). Your only option is to buy Leopard Server.
As to whether you can install Leopard Server, that depends on the hardware you're running. If it meets (or exceeds) the minimum specifications for Mac OS X Server then yes, you can install it. Whether it will solve your goals depends on quite what those goals are.
And if I can use the Leopard Server version, can I also install it on my Macs at home that don't connect to the work network?
You can install it on any system you're licensed for. Since each copy of Mac OS X Server is licensed for a single system only, you'll need to buy additional licenses for your machine(s) at home.

Can I install OSX Tiger server version on my G4 Powerbook?

Hi everyone...
I cannot find the disk(s) for my Powerbook G4 (1.67GHz PPC)... so I've resorted to purchasing them. I found (on ebay) a set of disks being described as such: "Apple Mac OS X Server 10.4 Tiger M9769Z/A (PPC)"
My obvious question is... will this work on my PB G4?
I'm attempting to clear out the laptop and give it away but would like to re-install the OS for the new owner (a neighbor's teen getting started in music with Garageband)...
Any quick advice? Thx...

You may be able to call AppleCare directly to ask an OS X specialist about the availability of Replacement DVD system discs for Tiger 10.4, and Leopard 10.5, with white labels, for supported PowerPC macs; these were available and cost about $20. each DVD. These may not be available still, and knowledge of their exact availability may also be limited; if not plain unavailable (again.) They'd need the PB's serial number & method of payment, if they have the discs available I'd get both 10.4 & 10.5. And look online for iLife '05 or other.
If an OS X Tiger Server 10.4.x is older than a retail version which may have shipped with a computer when new, it may not work in that computer. You could try the installer, to see if it would, but it could be rejected, or fail part way into the process. So, in those instances, a retail OS X install DVD of later version is the path to installation, if you can't get the grey original install-restore disc set the computer shipped with. They have part numbers.
The server edition is a bit different than retail Tiger 10.4; you can see some versions of Server 10.4 Tiger as listed in the downloadable freely available MacTracker.ca database that works offline...
{from http://mactracker.ca downloaded database OS X Server 10.4 Tiger}
Note the above list ALSO shows PowerPC and Universal for Intel-based Mac.
+System discs that shipped with a Mac, be it PPC or Intel, do not interchange.
The company welovemacs seems to have a similar Server version Tiger 10.4 with like product number and it does not say it can't work on specific PowerPC Macs (there is an Intel version, won't work in PPC) so for comparison here is there link: http://www.welovemacs.com/m9769za.html
Server versions of OS X can run in machines the standard one can, with a few exceptions in hardware; or in situations where the OS X version is older than the computer, so compatibility with hardware is lacking. In some cases, the installer may work OK, but would need additional Software Update to fully work, so the Combo update 10.4.11 may help.
There are some applications that may be missing from a retail or server edition of Tiger (or Leopard, etc) that would have been included in the computer's original as-shipped system and backup restore/install DVDs. The iLife applications would be on a separate retail disc set, a later iLife version than shipped with Tiger in a computer may be used in Tiger; to a limit. There (or was) a Support article on vintage iLife versions and OS X system they were supported in. Some bookmarks fail and links have changed, content moved or removed.
Several PowerBook 1.67GHz models exist, some shipped with Tiger 10.4.2 variants on their own DVDs so the Tiger Server would likely need to be later than 10.4.3 to work. But it would be worth a try, if you have it. Could be it may install (or not) but if it does, it may run in SafeBoot, and accept update to 10.4.11 Combo. Or you may be looking for a different installation DVD.
There may be a way around this, if you have a second Mac that can use the Tiger Server, and use it to install into the PowerBook, in Target Disk Mode, and see if it can accept the Combo update, then boot up. Not sure if this idea would even work. Been awhile and my target disk and firewire experiences are rusty!
Not sure if this helps...
Good luck
