Can't turn on open directory in the server app

hi, i can't turn on open directory in the server app, I am running the new version of Mavericks (10.9.2)
please help me

If DNS services aren't properly configured and operating correctly, then various other parts of the OS X Server environment tends to be somewhere between flaky and unstable.
To verify DNS is working correctly, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the following harmless diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
You'll need to enter an administrative password for the sudo, might see a one-time message about the use of sudo, then see some configuration information, and then an indication that no changes are required, or that there are issues with the network or with local DNS services. This tool will spot most local DNS and network errors, but will not spot an erronous configuration using the .local top-level domain; don't do that.
If you do not have another DNS server on your local network — the screen shot shows DNS isn't running locally, but it's possible there's another DNS server in use. If you do not have a local DNS server (and you're on a NAT'd network) here's how to set up DNS on a NAT'd network — DNS is essential for proper operations of OS X Server, and on a private NAT'd network, that's only possible with your own DNS services. You cannot successfully reference off-network DNS servers here (not the DNS servers at your ISP, nor at Google, and not via a low-end firewall that might have a DNS resolver, etc), as these off-NAT'd network DNS servers do not return the necessary IP-address-to-domain-name translations necessary for your hosts. These name-to-address and address-to-name DNS translations are part of distributed authentication and network encryption.

Webmail is turned off. You can turn it on by using the Server app on the server.

Not sure why this suddenly happened. Nothing has really changed on this server. The web IS on (hence receiving the message above) and I have "Enable PHP web applications" checked. Mail is routing fine. Just not sure why the webmail suddenly quit working. I ran the "/System/Library/ServerSetup/CommonExtras/PostgreSQLExtras/WebmailServerSetup.s h" and it completed but no luck. Is there a script to reset just the webmail?

So, I've done some more digging. Thank you Apple, for thoughtfully providing documentation on your included software! All you told me was that to enable webmail I had to check one box in the Server App.
Sigh.
Okay, rant off. It's pretty obvious from the log entries I posted that both a user and a database are missing from postgres. After some searching I found an INSTALL document, that says this:
* PostgreSQL
To use Roundcube with PostgreSQL support you have to follow these
simple steps, which have to be done as the postgres system user (or
which ever is the database superuser):
$ createuser roundcube
$ createdb -O roundcube -E UNICODE roundcubemail
$ psql roundcubemail
roundcubemail =# ALTER USER roundcube WITH PASSWORD 'the_new_password';
roundcubemail =# \c - roundcube
roundcubemail => \i SQL/postgres.initial.sql
All this has been tested with PostgreSQL 8.x and 7.4.x. Older
versions don't have a -O option for the createdb, so if you are
using that version you'll have to change ownership of the DB later.
Okay, good...except it doesn't tell me how to get to the $ prompt for entering the first set of commands. On a hunch I tried just typing "postgres" at the command prompt and got this:
postgres does not know where to find the server configuration file.
You must specify the --config-file or -D invocation option or set the PGDATA environment variable.
I Googled that whole section as my search item and about the only relevant thing I got was info on how to set one's environment variables--which I already know how to do. What I don't know is where this variable is supposed to point.
Okay, I'm at my limit, I've run out of fingers to hold on various bullet points. Is there some clear, concise how-to on setting all this up that doesn't assume I already know half this stuff?

Reconfigure Open Directory in Yosemite Server

Is it possible to delete and reconfigure Open Directory in Yosemite server?
The host name and configuration were modified after Open Directory was activated and I get the message "Unable to load replica list" in the Settings Tab of Open Directory on the Server App (Server 4.0.3 (Build 14S350)). I think the best way would be to start over the automatic configuration.

Many Open Directory problems can be resolved by taking the following steps. Test after each one, and back up all data before making any changes.
1. The OD master must have a static IP address on the local network, not a dynamic address. It must not be connected to the same network with more than one interface; e.g., Ethernet and Wi-Fi.
2. You must have a working DNS service, and the server's hostname must match its fully-qualified domain name. To confirm, select the server by name in the sidebar of the Server application window, then select the Overview tab. Click the Edit button on the Host Name line. On the Accessing your Server sheet, Domain Name should be selected. Change the Host Name, if necessary. The server must have at least a three-level name (e.g. "server.yourdomain.com"), and the name must not be in the ".local" top-level domain, which is reserved for Bonjour.
3. The primary DNS server used by the server must be itself, unless you're using another server for internal DNS. The only DNS server set on the clients should be the internal one, which they should get from DHCP if applicable.
4. Only if you're still running Mavericks server, follow these instructions to rebuild the Kerberos configuration on the server.
5. If you use authenticated binding, check the validity of the master's certificate. The common name must match the hostname and domain name. Deselecting and then reselecting the certificate in Server.app has been reported to have an effect in some cases. Otherwise delete all certificates and create new ones.
6. Unbind and then rebind the clients in the Users & Groups preference pane. Use the fully-qualified domain name of the master.
7. Reboot the master and the clients.
8. Don't log in to the server with a network user's account.
9. Disable any internal firewalls in use, including third-party "security" software.
10. If you've created any replica servers, delete them.
11. If OD has only recently stopped working when it was working before, you may be able to restore it from the automatic backup in /var/db/backups, or from a Time Machine snapshot of that backup.
12. As a last resort, export all OD users. In the Open Directory pane of Server, delete the OD server. Then recreate it and import the users. Ensure that the UID's are in the 1001+ range.
If you get this far without solving the problem, then you'll need to examine the logs in the Open Directory section of the log list in the Server app, and also the system log on the clients.

How to turn off Open Directory?

How do I turn off Open Directory? In Server Admin.app, if I uncheck the Open Directory service and click 'save', it re-checks itself on.

In Lion, you have to install the server admin apps (server admin and workgroup manager - it's a separate download). Once you configure Server Admin to manage Open Directory, you can then demote the server to standalone from there.

How can I get authentication and authorization through OS X open directory with the Sun ZFS STOR ZS3-2

how can I get authentication and authorization through OS X open directory with the Sun ZFS STOR ZS3-2
I have configure NFS, I need help configuring the share that I created in the Sun ZFS STOR ZS3-2 to connect with the OS X Open Directory

Hi,
You may try checking the help page for ldap configuration :
https://<Appliance_IP>:215/wiki/index.php/Configuration:Services:LDAP
ZFS Storage supports LDAP, NIS, AD as directory service.
Hope Open Directory is also based on LDAP and may work in similar fashion.
Thanks

How can I turn off "reply" button when the messages come? I prefer the "open" button.

How can I turn off "reply" button when the messages come? I prefer the "open" button. Because my friends usually send lots of messages at the same time so I cannot read all of them when I press "reply", then I have to go to Messages -> my friends' messages, and it's really complicated.

Sorry for not quite understanding. I guess you are referring to a notice in an alert. I do not have that alert active on my device, so I cannot say. I use the banner alert, so I just get a notice of a message and can swipe to open that particular message. If I ignore it, it will eventually go away.

How to turn off Open Directory in OS X Server 10.8.2

I am configuring a MacPro with ML Server 10.8.2 for internal-only use. I have DNS working on it (with the annoyance that it goes out of its way to break wildcard host names, and it doesn't know how to properly create the zone files to allow a secondary DNS server to do reverse-name-lookups properly). I have only 2 users (admin and Time Machine), Time Machine is working for client Macs using the Time Machine user account, and File Sharing is working (using either account), sharing a RAID of internal drives an a pair of USB-attached external drives.
I briefly turned on Open Directory, just to see if I wanted or needed to go that route. I entered an Open Directory admin (diradmin) with a password. Looked around the options and decided I did NOT need to use Open Directory just to get the Time Machine stuff working, and I was right.
However, now the Server App shows Open Directory is "On." When I go to that tab, I get a message stating that there was an error reading the settings file for Open Directory services. I click it "Off" but it refuses to turn off. When I come back to the tab, I get a pop-up window with a message about an error reading the settings and the Off/On switch moves back to "On" and the green light never goes off next to Open Directory in the list of services.
I've rebooted the machine and after the reboot, sometimes, it appears as if I can add/delete/modify Users and Groups. Other times, after the reboot, the +/- buttons are greyed out and I cannot add/edit/modify Users and Groups. I have not yet tried to add/delete/modify users yet because I'm leery of trusting the server with this error message.
Can anyone help me to remove anything and everything related to Open Directory so that it is "off" as if I never ever turned it on? Or any suggestions on how to fix this short of a reinstall?
Can I download and install the Server app on a differnt machine and then just copy the Server app over to this machine? Will that zero out the Open Directory stuf that I'm trying to get rid of?
Thanks in advance.

I think I solved my problem by running the following command:
sudo slapconfig -destroyldapserver diradmin
diradmin is the name of the Open Directory admin account I created.
The Open Directory Service now appears "off" and no longer had the green dot next to it in the list of services.
Obviously, NOT a good solution to someone who was actively using Open Directory as this appears to have deleted all the data associated with Open Directory.
Users and Groups now allow me to add/delete/modify.
Sad to see an Apple product have such issues.

Haveing problems with Safari. It gives me an error message. Safari can't open the web page, because it can't establish a secure connection to the server. It only seams to have a problem on https sites. Any help would be apreciated.

Safari keeps giving and error message. " Safari can't open the web page( insert web page here) , because it can't establish a secure connetion to the server.
It only seams to have a problem with https sites.
Any help would be appreciated

The "s" in "https" indicates the site is a secure server--usually a site that will require a password. Connections to secure servers can be blocked by parental controls. Are you using any parental controls, either through OSX's settings (in System Preferences) or third party parental control software (such as Netnanny)? If so, check the settings to make sure they will allow the connection.

Install the UnArchiver and try again.
http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver
There is no Installer.app in the Utilities or Applications folder, there is one in the System/Library/CoreServices.
If yours is not there, then you need to:
1: Backup your data off the machine to a non-TimeMachine drive and disconnect all drives.
2: If you have TM, try to restore the Installer.app from the TM drive and reboot. See if things work.
If the above doesn't work, your going to have to re-install just OS X 10.6 (and bundled programs) from the disk by holding c and booting off the 10.6 disk and simply installing OS X. Then software updating to 10.6.8.
This will replace all bundled programs and OS X, not touch your files (backup regardless) and most third party programs.
Some third party programs will have to be reinstalled form original sources because they install Kext files into OS X and thus kicked out by the 10.6 reinstall form disk.
All should go well, however if you boot to a gray screen or other freeze, reboot holding the shift key down, then update all your third party software to be current to 10.6.8.
Another method is to re-install in to CoreServices the Installer.app from the 10.6 disk using the extraction program called Pacifist from CharleSoft, then running software update to get any updates for Installer.app.

Do you have a case on the iPhone? It could be interfering with the button operation.
If that isn't it, you'll have to setup service.
