Can´t stop VPN service

I´m using Leopard Server 10.5.1 and for some test runs had VPN active. Now I want to diable VPN again and I can´t ! Itried doing it in the serveradmin tools, tried killing vpnd in terminal, all to no avail. The service always just restarts. Anyone got an idea what is going on here?

Theres is apparently no solution to this other than reinstalling the operating system. Very convenient when youre trying to run a business.
This is one of the 5 (so far) issues Ive come across which require a total reinstall, and cant be fixed through any setting or command. Enjoy.

  • Can not stop ocfs service

    I tried to use "service ocfs stop" to stop ocfs service. The command has no error. But the ocfs service still loaded and runing.
    I have to comment them from /etc/fstab and reboot the server to stop ocfs.
    Can you help me why ocfs can not be stopped gracefully?

    ocfs just long time to stop

  • SMF - How can you stop a service from automatically restarting

    Hi all,
    The subject header says it all. Is there a way of doing this. My users do not want an application we have to restart automatically if the process dies.
    Cheers

    Then what do you want? The default is 3 restarts before it goes into maintenance. You could change that to 0 probably.
    Otherwise if you're going to manage it manually, perhaps you don't want it to be an SMF service in the first place. Just run a startup script instead.

  • SQL Command to Start/Stop SQL services for multiple server

    From Central server I want to Start/Stop SQL services and SQL Agent service. Is there any SQL command which I can execute on query analyzer which can Start/Stop SQL services?
    Rahul

    See command line options here using net start
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/hh403394.aspx
    You can invoke them using xp_cmdshell from management studio as
    ie like below for default instance
    EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start MSSQLSERVER'
    EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start SQLSERVERAGENT'
    etc
    and below for named instance
    EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start MSSQLSERVER$instancename'
    EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start SQLSERVERAGENT$instancename'
    etc
    and use net stop for stopping services
    EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start MSSQLSERVER' EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start SQLSERVERAGENT' etc
    EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start MSSQLSERVER' EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start SQLSERVERAGENT' etc
    EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start MSSQLSERVER' EXEC xp_cmdshell 'net start SQLSERVERAGENT' etc

  • Stable, Free VPN service that works on iphone 4?

    I have tried Itshidden.com and hotspotshield and neither of those seem to work.  "Can't find server"  or something to that effect?  Anyone have any luck with these or can recommend a VPN service which actually works. 
    Thx

  • How can I configure Lion server to accept inbound VPN (L2TP) connections while connected as client to another vpn service?

    I have what I believe to be a unique need;
    I have a MacPro (1,1) running Lion with Server app.
    I require that this particular machine be connected as a client to a VPN server, while at the same time acting as a VPN server for my network.
    The PPTP connection configuration is such that "Send all traffic over VPN connection" is checked.
    If PPTP client is NOT connected, I can connect to Lion as VPN server. As soon as I make the connection from Lion as a client, I can no longer
    connect to Lion VPN server.
    I understand this is because I am forcing all traffic out the virtual interface (tun0) and eth0 is no longer listening on the local network.
    1. Is it possible to bind the VPN client (on Lion Server) to a particular interface? If I could tell the PPTP client to only use eth1 as the interface of choice, my assumption would be that eth0 would then be free to accept incoming connections.
    2. Is it possible to bind the VPN service  (on Lion Server) to a particular interface? if I could tell the vpn serviec to only listen on eth1, and in turn tell the PPTP client to NOT communicate on eth1 but only eth0 then perhaps I could separate the communications?
    In my head, it seems as though both of the above options would be required in order to use Lion as both a VPN server and VPN client
    Any and all help appreciated.

    This is a standard facet of most VPNs - the problem lies in your NAT router since both clients appear to come from the same IP address as far as the VPN server is concerned, and the router can't separate out the traffic.
    There are a couple of solutions.
    First, the built-in VPN server supports L2TP and PPTP protocols. You should be able to connect one system under each protocol, so that gets your two machines connected.
    Second, you can replace your NAT router with one that supports multiple VPN clients (often termed 'VPN passthrough').
    Third, setup a site-to-site tunnel so that your entire LAN is connected to the VPN (this saves you from having to run a separate VPN client on each machine, but is typically only worth it when you have more machines).

  • How can I configure Home Sharing to work through a consumer VPN service?

    I recently purchased a year subscription to a VPN service know as Private Intenet Access (PIA). With this VPN executable program connected to it's servers, my data is "filtered" through it behind the router. The router IS NOT configure with the vpn so I can controll which devices use the VPN. Addiotionally, if I want I can configure the VPN as a proxy instead of just running the program ( i would use the proxy for mobile devices).
    My question is this: Is there an efficient way to configure iTunes and/or Apple TV3 in order to be able to use PIA while home sharing. I notice, often times that home sharing on the Apple TV will not read the Windows maching that has home sharing enabled through iTunes. But other machines work fine. Sometimes, depending on the "order" of the networks I connect to home sharing will work from the particular machine.
    for example:
    I can connect to the internet if I connect to my wifi and then enable the VPN (PIA) but cannot home share. However, if I connect to PIA then connect to the Wifi, it will work witout an issue.
    The real issue is that when the Apple TV and pr PC go to sleep these connecting can wake up connecting in a different order.
    I can only think to perhaps manually enter in the proxy info supplied by PIA to Apple TV. But there are not real instructions on how to do so.
    I know this question is broad and scattered, but I am hoping that someone out there has had or having the same issue with some kind of resolution.
    I've chatted online with PIA reps and they aren't entirely Apple savy. So here I am.
    Any help in the right direction is greatly appreciated!!

  • Can log into Yosemite server (4.0) VPN service with a Mavericks client, but not Yosemite client

    Sever Info:
    Yosemite Server 4.0 running on a late 2009 Mac Mini with 8 GB RAM with vpnd service enabled
    The server was upgraded to Yosemite - not clean install - this may not matter (see below)
    Airport extreme router with standard VPN UDP ports for L2TP forwarded to server (500, 1701, 4500)
    Client info:
    MB Air 13" early 2014 with 8 GB RAM
    Yosemite
    Mavericks 10.9.5 running as a Parallels virtual machine (don't ask - I need it to run an app for work that is not yet compatible with Yosemite)
    OD service is NOT running - no VPN connections ever occurred from ANY client with this service running - OD is not needed in my case fortunately
    With the OD service off, I can connect via the Mavericks virtual machine just fine, but not with Yosemite. With Yosemite, the ppp connection appears to occur, but server config requests appear to fall on deaf ears (client side doesn't appear to respond) until the connection times out. Can't figure out what triggers the client response to a server config request. Client side complains about no route to host and IP addresses don't get assigned to the connection.
    The connection happens successfully in an eyeblink with the Mavericks client. Same username/password/shared secret in both instances.
    Tried a generated .vpnconfig from the server, this also did not work.
    It's possible that it is an auth problem, but can't figure out how the process occurs or what may be going wrong. There does not seem to be an obvious way to increase the granularity of the logging such that it might give other hints - at least that I can find. I found plenty of references to VPN issues when people upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks as well as work arounds for this. I tried the most promising looking of those - no love. I reverted everything back to stock install since I could at least connect with Mavericks.
    If log entries would be helpful, they are included below. I've stared at them long enough - perhaps a new set of eyes can provide a hint.
    In addition, I can find no documentation regarding the VPN service in Yosemite server so as to get a clue as to whether there have been changes in racoon since Mavericks.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I would be glad to supply any other info needed for an accurate diagnosis .

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • MySQL Service first time use: in infinite loop, won't start and can't stop

    Log says: "The host 'DOMAIN.COM' could not be looked up with resolveip."
    It says that is not a problem just use IP addresses. Included just FYI.
    Then: "Installing MySQL system tables...
    Installation of system tables failed!"
    I suspect this is why I am in an infinte loop.
    In setup I chose a Root Password and changed the default database location to be on my second HDD, plus I allowed Network connections.
    Now it is in the starting state always, looping with the same error over and over and creating bin files in my chosen DB area. I can't stop it from the GUI (not tried from command line as want to be sure I get right command - help there would be welcome). I can't remove the service as it puts itself right back in there straight away. Rebooting doesn't help as it starts up automatically. Please help!

    I am putting up my "solution" as it is for now. After quite a bit of research, I discovered that my problem was caused by my selection of a database location that had a space in the path. I was using the Server Admin GUI and would have hoped that such a tool would know the MySQL can't have spaces in the path and it would have told me not to set it to one that did have space in the path, but it seems not. So once that was discovered I also thought changing the path in the GUI would fix it, but alas, it did not. After quite a bit more research (I learned quite a lot, during this, but there is still a lot more to learn) I worked out that the plist file used by the daemon which starts services had not reflected the changes I had made in the GUI. So after more checking to make sure it was Ok to do so, I edited the file to reflect the database location and PID file location to be the default of /var/mysql. MySQL sprang to life and seemed fine, but unfortunately the GUI was messed up still. So a little more research led me to the serveradmin command that can be used in place of the GUI and I have now been able to turn off the service (I only started it out of curiosity and don't yet need it). So as I say - a kind of "solution" because actually my GUI appears to be broken, but I am able to use my machine again without it looping incessantly.

  • How can I stop a report service manually ?

    How can I stop a report service manually in DOS command?
    I only know start a report service manually in DOS command.For example:rwserver service=repljbass

    My start/stop scripts for Solaris looks like this.
    Start:
    rwserver.sh server=reportserver batch=yes
    Note: batch=yes means that the extra control window doesn't start (at least on Unix)
    Stop:
    rwserver.sh server=reportserver shutdown=immediate authid=repadmin/reports
    Just remove the .sh and it'll work on your PC.
    PS. The complete Solaris start command I use is:
    exec nohup rwserver.sh server=reportserver batch=yes &

    I'm in syria and they blocked me from using any VPN service please help without VPN i can't open the store help please ( using iphone 5 version 9.1.4 )

    There is nothing that anyone here on a user forum can do to help you.  If it is a local issue in Syria, then you need to take it up with your phone company or authorities there who have prevented you from using VPN.
    Nobody here can help you.

  • Can a Time capsule run a VPN service??

    Can a Time capsule run a VPN service??

    There is no inbuilt vpn in the TC, but it should support vpn passthrough from a router or client computer running vpn software. It is important that the TC should have the public IP address on its wan or be used in bridge to another router, otherwise you will find with double NAT it almost impossible to get vpn working.

    Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement.  They replace the ENTIRE device.
    For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device.  Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
    Apple will not touch the device now.  They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original.
