Can you administer a server remotely?

Can you do remote server administration (from a Mac client)? I cannot locate in the docs, just got Mac mini with OSX Server

Ok, fourth time with entering this reply, so this is going to be a little terse. Apologies on that.
Launch Finder. Select the target system or target server in the left navigation. Select Screen Sharing button. Off you go. This is VNC-compatible sharing.
Works for Mac OS X client (when Screen Sharing is enabled in Sharing in System Preferences) and with Mac OS X Server (when Screen Sharing is enabled in Server Admin for the target server).
Using Server Admin is definitely preferable here and the Server Tools can be installed on most any recent Mac OS X client box, though Screen Sharing works nicely for various tasks.
If you want another path, once you have Screen Sharing launched, control-click on the icon in the Dock and select Options and select Keep In Dock.
And welcome to the forums.

Can you use the apple remote to control tv programs?

Can you use the apple remote control like a tv remote to control tv programs & DVDs on the computer? Everything I've found about the Apple Remote talks about using it for products other than desktops. I watch some regular tv shows on my iMac & would like to be able to use a remote control.
I have a built-in infrared receiver.
Thanks!

You should be able to control DVD playback now with the Apple Remote. You may be able to get a bit of functionality with web sites by using Remote Buddy by using it as a virtual mouse and keyboard:

but you're not going to get anything close to the sort of functionality you'd get with a remote and a TV.

Can't connect to server remotely, connects fine locally

I've got an extremely frustrating problem that I can't figure
out. I have a simple application to test the connection to the FMS
2 server. If it can connect it basically just says "Connection
Successful", if it can't connect "Connection Failed". It's named
'FMStest' and I have created a folder by that name in the
'applications' directory within the FMS2 directory. The local
version connects successfully and shows as connected in the
management console--the connection string I'm using locally is:
rtmpNow = "rtmp:/FMStest";
The remote connection fails everytime--I upload the published
files to our webserver and access the created html file. the
connection string I use for the remote connection is:
rtmpNow = "rtmp://my.domain.com/FMStest"; //domain changed
for security reasons
Here is the full code:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
var rtmpNow:String = new String();
rtmpNow = "rtmp://my.domain.com/FMStest"; //changed for
privacy
nc.onStatus = function(info){
trace ("Level: "+info.level+" Code: "+info.code);
trace(code.list);
connect_txt.text = info.code;
if(connect_txt.text == "NetConnection.Connect.Failed"){
stat_text.text="Status: Not Connected";
status_text.text = "Connection to "+rtmpNow+" failed"+"
Level: "+info.level+" Code: "+info.code;
else{
status_text.text = "connection successful";
stat_text.text="Status: Connected!";
nc.connect(rtmpNow);
stat_text.text = "Status: Connecting";
We've checked all the firewall and other configurations, I've
tried all variations of the connection string (including using the
IP address) No luck. Any ideas?

If you get a "Connection failed" from typing "telnet
my.domain.com 1935", you have a connection problem. Try running the
client from different sites (starting from the server itself) to
identify the component that's blocking the connection.
You can try running the server on more ports than 1935. Try
port 1935 and port 80 with RTMP and RTMPT.
To do so shutdown your server and edit the ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT
entry in fms.ini. You may have to disable your webserver to avoid
port conflicts. Then start FMS again and retry. Then check the log
files. Best is to have a tail on access.00.log

How can you load local server urls on application start?

Background:
I've been searching for close to two days for an answer to this question, it's full of gotchas and I can't quite get it figured out.
I have an application which contains several web services. These services load up listeners when the services are invoked which makes them available for input. The user has the option of disabling automatic load of these services and invoking them manually by typing in the local url and starting the app. The can allow the autoload which uses a the or allowing the auto load to start. Currently the local url is hardcoded in a property file and this is how the services knows the local endpoint to envoke when it autostarts.
<servlet id="AutoStart_01">
<servlet-name>autoStart</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.loadmy.StartupClass.Here</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
This works all fine and well until it's deployed onto a machine that runs a local weblogic cluster that has more than one jvm (and multiple ports) loading the application up.
Problem
The question is, how can you get the applicaton to recoginize the local url for the jvm that is running which can be on different ports? Here's what I've tried
A - Using Inet.Address - This doesn't let you know what port your application is on
B - Using the load servlet on start up ( Only the init() function is called and the request object hasn't been created and the request object is what contains ther protocol, server and port information)
C - Loading a jsp page (READ... purposefully loading a jsp page) on application start. The thought here is that this contains a request object, but unfortunately on this doesn't work in my servlet container (currently tomcat 6 but the application is for a web logic machine)
D - I thought about possibly using System.properties() but no luck there
I'm at witts end on this one and I know there is something that can recoginze the local servlet container and extract the url and port from it.
Any suggestions would be great.

Can you use LV6.1 Remote Panel AND CGI?

I would like to use both CGI and the Remote Panel system of LabView 6.1. I'd perfer to be able to implement the CGI in either Perl or LabView, but anything would work. What I'm trying to do is have a front end that is mainly all CGI, and only after certain conditions things have occured in the CGI would they be allowed access to the Remote Panel. This could be pretty easily done by having the CGI write the HTML file for the Remote Panel. I would do it all using Remote Panel, but the I only have 1 license, and I only really want 1 person to be able to use the Remote Panel at a time, but I want multiple people to have access to the CGI at any given time. Any ideas would be more helpful.

I'm working on a similar issue with controlling connections to my remote panels. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the above solution has some loopholes also. Since the CGI script is generating a new HTML and actually writing it to disk, wouldn't anyone else also be able to connect to this newly page if they new the URL?
For instace:
1) A person logs in from the CGI page.
2) The CGI script builds the remote panel page.
3) At any time thereafter, someone knowing the name of the new webpage can connect to it.
Now this problem could be solved if the newly generated page could be sent directly to the person who has logged in if session variables were used within a single web server. However, since two separate web servers are being
used, this is probably not possible.
If anyone has a solution to this new problem or can refute what I've just said, please let me know. I have been running over how to do use a login system repeatedly without success. I really don't want to default back to using IP addresses to block access since my users will be 1) spread across multiple IP ranges and 2) more than likely unable to provide their own IP addresses if requested.
Thanks,
Pete

Inability to RESUME download in ffox - how can you see if server supports resume e.g. any of the filehosts

hi: i have been trying to dl from filepost (file size 260) and occasionally it stops at 240.
i tried the answer in support to "dummy resume:"
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/672203?esab=a&as=aaq
it did not work.
how can i test if the site allows resume?
or do i need to test for a specific file on that filehost allows resume?
thankyou

Hi Cor-el
I found Opera. Opera browser does not compare to firefox greatness. Nor does their support help forums.
But Opera does have RESUME button on their download window.
The trick with opera, is to open the download manager in a new window, and make it look like Firefox great add-on DownloadManager Tweak.
then it looks the same, so you know what your doing
AND it has a download / RESUME button
fyi:
> I tested Opera Download on all the failed ones (trying the tricky rename workaround) '''Opera RESUMED in all 9 test cases.'''
> and where i could not get firefox to resume, not once in all 9 test cases.
so my conclusion is the workaround is not very good. And it had nothing to do with the server i was downloaiding from (in these 9 test cases)
perhaps..... in a future version: - firefox can also have the wonderful resume button, and the add-on Download Manager TWEAK, can also have the RESUME download button.

Can you install Lion server but still use the mac as normal?

I have a Macbook Pro and I would like to install Lion server. I was wondering if when I buy it off the mac app store if it works like any application so I can like close out of the server and use the mac as normal like to get on the Internet, or if Lion server installs like a new operation system and I can't use my mac as normal?
Thanks
WirelessCharge

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Of course. On Mountain Lion and Lion, Server is just an app, so you can close it and turn off its services whenever you want to use your Mac as usual, although you don't have to close Server app to use the computer as normal

Can you access time capsule remotely?

I am currently at work and would like to access backed up files from time capsule, didn't know if this is possible.

Yes, you can on a Mac as the TC is only able to present AFP access to the internet.
There is a number of methods to set this up but since Apple is shutting mobileme the easy method has finished.
Follow the info in this thread.. starting with the post at the bottom.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2792797?tstart=0
That is valid for TC if it is set as the router in the network, and takes the public ip on its wan interface.
If the TC is behind another router, you will need to open tcp and udp on port 548 to get access.
It is relatively simple to do.. but I am fairly sure this is not secure.. even if you put a decent password on the disk, which indeed you should do, it is open to man in the middle type attack. If the content on the TC is not an issue.. then you can live with the risk, but if you would prefer not to have people get access, I would say this is the wrong way and you should use a vpn router, and bridge the TC.
You will need to check that your workplace allows access as many work places will consider what you are doing is a risk as well.

Can you Run Lion server on iMac and use monitor for another computer

With lion server you don't need a monitor and I figure why buy a mac mini when i could by a 27" imac and use it as a display and a mac mini running lion server.
I have been going over the scenarios and am trying to decide if I should buy the TB display or a second 27" imac. Eventually I will have 3 27" displays... but I want to run Lion Server off of one of the imacs... and use the display with the other imac.
do you know if it is possible to use the display of the imac for a mbp or another imac while running an operating system (lion Server) on the computer at the same time.
not sure if I made my self clear there or not.
Ryan

Ryan as long as both the Mac Mini and iMac have Thunderbolt you could use the iMac as an external monitor for the Mac Mini. The current machines with Thunderbolt connections are 2011 iMacs, MacMini's, MacBook Air's & all MacBook Pros.

Lion upgrades. Will it be available on disk? 4Gig will eat into my data, and do I have to download three times for my three macs? Can you only get server if you have snow leopard server already or can snow leopard be upgraded to server at the same price?

?

What about cloned backup drives? Can those drives be moved to another machine? Filemaker 1 in 1984 through Filemaker Pro 8.5 allowed you to run the software off an external drive. With Filemaker 9 they moved to a file scheme that required calling in and uninstalling from one cpu and installing to a new cpu. That would have been fine if Filemaker would answer their phones. It was a horrible experience, something Mac users would not tolerate back in the eighties.
With the Apple Store, you could avoid calling in but their system has to be online for you to make your transition. Because Apple sells hardware, they should continue to build some costs into the hardware and continue ease of use. Microsoft can't do that. That is why I do not use Microsoft products except Office.
Steve,
If your three macs are similar, installing to an external firewire drive may or may not still work as a boot device. It has been nice to be able to boot from a backup drive instead of just recover files from a backup.
