Cannot create Administrator Account after Installation

Hi,
I would like to have the server assistant of OS X Server 10.6 to configure the whole server for my needs. Unfortunately this didn't work, even after the 5th trial.
Here is what I did:
- Local Installation via original DVD
- Configuration windows (server assistant) populated with my needs.
I get an error message, telling me that the keychain for the administrator account could not be created. The process brakes and the server won't be configured. This error happend twice.
I have no option but to install the whole server software again. I could not find out how to restart the configuration / setup again from scratch WITHOUT having to install the whole system again.
However, after the broken configuration procedure I get a blank login window. I found out that the system root account exists but NOT the administrator I wanted to create. What I can do is: reboot from the install DVD and reset the system root password. I can, then, log in as system root and get a desktop.
But I still don't have any more users and - even worse - the server is not configured.
I really don't want to configure every setting on my own due to a serious lack of basic knowledge.
Is there any way to have the setup assistant getting to work? Can I "restart" the configuration process without installing the whole system again?

I had this same problem. I experienced it first on a Mac Mini, not my Xserve, when I was doing a test install as recounted below. I was able to recreate the problem even.
I discovered that for me the problem only occurs if I chose during setup to import groups and users from an already existing Open Directory. If I skip this step everything works fine, and I can manually import users and groups by exporting them from OD on my Xserve and manually importing them via the exported files.
So here is the setup:
1.) During the fresh install on the Mac Mini I created the user with my short id of pope.
2.) When asked if I wanted to import OD users and groups, I did and I imported them by having it connect to my X-Serve (10.5.8)
3.) The installer runs in to keychain problems and eventually you end up with a blue screen and then the login screen
4.) At this point no usernames or passwords work
If I skip step 2, 3 and 4 never happen.
I thought maybe there was a conflict between my local shortname and a shortname in the OD that I attempted to pull from. I checked though and no conflict exists.
Here is a more detailed account:
I set my name, shortname, and password and continued on. Towards the end of installation I imported the users and groups from my 10.5 server and continued to setup services.
Eventually a screen popped up saying that there was no keychain for my user. It offered to reset the keychain, but it wouldn't accept my password. After a handful of tries the screen turned blue and after a long while the system came back up, but this time to the normal login screen.
And at the login screen the account I setup doesn't work. I'd reset the password via the booting from the setup disc, but I'm sure Snow Leopard just decapitated itself.
I'm going to reinstall from scratch because I have the aching feeling that when it went haywire it probably !@#$% any services since it decided to commit suicide.

Cannot create a session after the response has been committed (Tomcat 6)

I'm getting a rather annoying error when I try to open a pretty basic JSP page.
I'm rather new to the whole JSP scene, so I'm following the example found on pages 287 and onwards in "JSF in Action - Manning" in case anyone wanted to check my code against the source.
I've searched for about 4 hours now, coming back to this site a couple of times, once reading about writeouts and stuff. But I'm not really sure this is the issue in this case and if it is, where exactly the problem lies.
I've already fixed a number of errors I got (jtsl.jar and standard.jar missing etc...) but this particular problem is driving me (and my co-workers for that matter :-) ) up the wall.
Anyone willing to help me out here?

When searching for this error, this was the first page google gave me. I found the answer and just in case anyone else stumbles in here with the same question I thought I'd share my findings.
Unfortunately, if your problem is the same as mine, you're going to feel pretty silly. I was navigating to the wrong page. If MyFaces(when running tomcat) tries to resolve to a page that doesn't exist, the error given above is what happens.
In my case I accidentally put my .jsp page into the wrong directory and ended up banging my head against the wall for an hour figuring that out. Hope this helps someone.

Cannot Create Blackberry Account?

I can't set up my Pearl 8110.
All I get when I get to e mail set up is   "Cannot create and account: An account alreday exists for this Blackeberry device.   It then tells me to call VodUK, who tell me Blackberry is active"

Unable to log into administrator account after software update

I've done a clean installation of server 10.5 on a G5 Xserve using the simplified "workgroup" setting. Created a named administrator account as part of the setup. Once passed the initial setup screens I did a software update to 10.5.8. After reboot I'm locked out of the named administrator account. I can still log in as root and localadmin using the same password. However, I don't see any accounts listed under the Users tab in Server Preferences. I've done nothing to this system other than answer a few standard questions during install and then update software.
This result is repeatable as I tried simply reinstalling the server OS figuring I must have done something wrong the first time. In fact the reason I'm reinstalling in the first place is related to this problem. Something caused all my admin and user accounts to go away on the original server setup. Couldn't figure it out so I decided to do a fresh install. I realize now it was likely related to a software update.
When logged in as root and using Console I see errors like "'No LDAP Master' while processing a command of type: 'readSettings' in plug-in: 'servermgr_accounts'". I'm a newbie to the server world and I'm not sure what that means.
There should be nothing remotely fancy going on here. Simply a stand alone server getting a fixed IP from a router. A single admin account, no directory services. Before the software update everything seemed fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I have same issue and i have resolve so.
login as root and password
Verify if you have in /Users/xyz : your admin home folder
if yes, create a new user with : Preference System, Account, create new user
set as Administrator, give same name as your /Users/xyz home folder
then click OK, a message will appeart that the folder exist, click YES.
that's resolve my issue

Cannot start j2ee engine after installation

Hi All,
After installation of WAS 6.30 (Netweaver 04) on IBM AIX 64 bit (with db2) my server is running but very slow.
When the server is stopped and started the first time after the installation the dispatcher is running just fine but the server is not loading all applications. The server is timing out during load but with telnet its possible to load the applications manually.
I tried to change the memory settings as described in some of the SAP notes but still no luck.
The server is now failing with the following message in the dev_server0 log file (work directory) and the server is never writing to the output log file.
ERROR => JHVM_LoadJavaVM: Cannot create Java VM (rc=-6) [jhvmxx_mt.c 466]
ERROR => Cannot load Java VM (<default>) (rc=-1) [jlnchxxi_mt. 557]
JLaunchCloseProgram: good bye (exitcode=-1)
Changing the memory settings back again doesnt change anything. The server is not starting!
The server has 2Gb of memory, enough disk space and is running the correct JDK version.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Michael

Hi,
Thanks for the answers.... but the settings are already tried without success.
Finally SAP came up with a solution that worked.... deleting the file instance.properties.vmprop solved my problems with starting the j2ee engine.

Cannot create an accounting document for year-end-closure

Good morning,
I am dealing with an urgent issue related to the year-end-closing.
The accounting document cannot be created because the account 9600700000 does not exist in standard chart of accounts.
The system wants to pick up an account which is used by the chart of accounts of the country CAGR. This is used for the analytical ledger at the end of the month.
When I compare it with another example which was posted correctly, I see that the account 9600700000 was used in the Special ledger.
Do you have any idea how to create the accounting document?
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Linda

Cannot create recovery disk after update to Win 8.1 on G580

Friends
I have a Lenovo G580 that came with Win 8.0 preinstalled. I upgraded it to Win 8.1 over the Internet.
When I try to run the "Create recovery disk" I get the error that states that "We cannot create a recovery drive for this PC. Some required files are missing..."
I found out that the winre.wim file that is supposed to be in the C:\Windows\System32\Recovery folder is not there. I cannot locate it anywhere on the C or D drives either. I believe there is a copy on one or more of the recovery partitions but I do not know how to get that file from those partitons.
I am confused as to why there are seven partitions on that one drive:
1 Recovery partition 1000 MB
2 EFI system partition 260 MB
3 OEM partition 1000 MB
4. Recovery partition 350 MB
5. Recovery partition 20 GB
6. Lenovo D: 25 GB
7. Windows 8 C: 250 GB
Can someone help me and give me some instructions on how I can fix the system to find the winre.wim file?
Thanks for any good input.
Calle

Hi Calle,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that the error message is displayed in your G580 Laptop, as the OS (Operating System) installed is Windows 8.1 or Windows 8. Recovery discs cannot be created only a “Recovery Media” can be created using USB Flash drive, below is the link to create USB recovery drive.
Create a USB Recovery Drive
Do post us back if the issue persists.

Shiva Kumar

Cannot create sony account with safari so I can install sony camera specific apps

It is impossible to get into the sony website to create an account so that I can get sony camera apps, which are required to use the sony camera correctly. Basically Safari is hanging up when I click create account on the sony site. My brother does not use Apple and his browser works fine for this, so this is a Apple/safari problem. I have found very little info regarding this problem anywhere.
Is there an Apple expert here who could look at this?
Me: macbook pro, safari 6.2
Website problem page is :https://www.playmemoriescameraapps.com/portal/usbdetail.php?eid=IS9104-NPIA09014 _00-000003
Although all sony entertainment network login pages do the same thing
Please if your a Apple goo roo look at this and let me know something
Thanks

Hmmm, so since I'm using 6.2 then maybe that is the problem? I can surf all of sony's other pages etc, but when I try to create account it just freezes up, I was trying not to install the other browsers and was confused why it would not work with my current safari 6.2. I have not upgraded my OS yet, so are you thinking this is related to that?

"Grouped" user cannot create Mobile account

Hello
Leopard Server 10.5.4 and Leopard client 10.5.4.
In Server, we have a group of users called Group1. In this group we have a user called User1. When we try to create a mobile account, prompts for password, and then "There was an error creating mobile account" appears.
When we try to create Mobile account for any user outside any group we have no problem.
The Mobility prefs are the same in the Group1 and in the account outside the group.
Any help appreciated.
K.

Look in the system log for clues.
Also you can turn on ManagedClient logging from Terminal this way:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.MCXDebug debugOutput -2
Then reproduce the problem. The log will be here:
/Library/Logs/ManagedClient/ManagedClient.log
Remove /Library/Preferences/com.apple.MCXDebug.plist to stop logging (and increase performance).
And please file a bug with Apple.

Cannot logon to account after a logout the night before

I have a customer who cannot login after a logout. A restart fixes the problem. His Home folder is encrypted (File Vault) and he has discovered what appear to be duplicate or temporary Home folders that are coincident with the failed login. One from last Thursday, this Tuesday and this morning. Although it did not happen yesterday morning.

Wow ok, I was able to solve this sooner then I thought.
I simply had to login to the account I created when I first powered up the new mac.
Go into users and reset the password for the account I had restored through time machine back up.
But the problem remains of the time machine back up not properly restoring, I should not have had to do this. Im glad none the less I found a work around.
