Cannot get OSX Server to work properly

I've followed various tutorials online in a bid to set up a home server.
I thought I'd got everything right until I tried to login to a 'new user account' via the 'other selection' on the login screen of my mac mini.
I don't know where I've gone wrong. Has anyone had this problem?
Users can screen share the server or remotely connect to folders but they can't log into the mac mini server or via other devices

I'm not sure what it is you're trying to do. Can you explain what Server services you're running and what you're trying to do with them?
For example, I could describe how to access FTP and Wiki services, but that wouldn't help if you aren't running those services.
I had to revise my initial Server install to properly configure my LAN. The best advice received was from MrHoffman, and that was to get DNS service properly configured on the LAN.
I had been pointing to DNS servers outside my LAN. The proper way was to first choose a subnet (MrHoffman advised against using the ubiquitous 192.168.x.x and use 172.16.xx or 10.x.x.x instead), then configure forward and reverse lookups manually. (I had to delete those initially configured by Server and reconfigure my own.)
This link should help: Hoffman Labs. The description for DNS configuration is for an earlier version of Server, but it works with Mountain Lion Server as well.
Essentially, each client should be configured to point to your Server's LAN IP for DNS service. The Server should be configured to point to itself for DNS service, specifically 127.0.0.1 instead of its LAN IP address. Make sure you run the tests to make sure DNS is configure and working properly.
If that doesn't help, you'll have to provide more detail on what it is you're trying to do.

Cannot get Dreamweaver CS5 To work properly

I have installed and uninstalled Dreamweaver CS5 several times, I have deleted the config file and still cannot get Dreamweaver to work properly. When I start dreamweaver CS5 the spash screen doesn't display properly, when the program opens up I am unable to manage sites all that is visible is the text box for site name and site address, nothing else is visible.
I have run a registry clean program to remove any traces of previous versions of dreamweaver to no avail. I do not receive any error messages at any point dreamweaver will just not work properly.
Thank you for your assistance.

Registry cleaners don't remove everything. Many files are in hidden folders within the user accounts on the operating systems. Have you tried the clean tool?

Also, something else to consider, try making another user account on the computer and see if that helps. I've seen user profiles on computers become corrupt and can cause this issue as well.

EA6300 Cannot get web server to work

Hi,
I have a Linksys AE6300 router.
I have a webserver set up with IIS to use port 780 for an HTTP site.
It works when I use the internal IP http://192.168.1.150:780
But, not when I use the external one.
This is a new router so, I never had this working on this particular router before. (but, my old router worked fine - was able to view website using external IP).
I tried using both the Single and Port Range forwarding. (My old router used port range).
Here is my Single Port forwarding setup...
And my Basic Firewall settings
I also re-booted the router. But, still cannot view website. (unavailable).
What more should I be doing? Or what am I doing wrong?

Thank you for the information.
1 - I unchecked 'Filter Anonymous Internet Requests'
2 - I did the following in port range forwarding.
3 - I did a full powercycle
4 - I tried to access the external IP address using port 780 -- xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx:780
Still got 'Webpage is not available'
Error code: ERR_CONNECTION_ABORTED
I went to the site http://www.whatsmyip.org/port-scanner/server/
And noticed that port 80 is closed. (as apposed to 'Timeout (Blocked)'
Port 780 is open.
after trying access the webpage (using port 780) ... this is all that was in my linksys log :

Motion 3.0.1 - cannot get point tracker to work properly with mask -Help

I can't get the behavior called point tracker under shapes category to properly work with a mask. Motion either quits unexpectedly with the message or goes into "not responding" mode.
Here are the steps: I set up the foreground and background shots in Final Cut Pro 6, then "sendto" motion (embeded checked).
In Motion I create a simple mask around the foreground object (talking head). With the playhead at the start of the clip, I go the behaviours - shapes - point tracker and apply to mask.
Next in Inspector I check tangents and then analyse. This can take a long time.. When it completes I save and go back to Final Cut. Final Cut then quits unexpectedly after about 10-15 minutes in beach ball mode. If I exit Motion and try to re-open the project, Motion also quits unexpectedly.
What is going wrong? Please help?

With "forced" removal, do you mean using the -force option? This is only for the 10.1 beta removal; it has no effect on the uninstall of the released version.
To uninstall the released Flash Player version, download the uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html and save it to disk.
Next, download the offline ActiveX installer http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe; save it to disk.
Now close all browser windows, then run the downloaded uninstaller. If you want to make sure that everything related to Flash Player is removed, run it with the /clean option.
Now reboot Windows, then run the downloaded installer.

After MOBO exchange cannot get Satellite A200 to work properly

HI guys,
I have a Satellite A200 here, my friend took it to pc place and they told him it couldnt be fixed and needed a new mother board... well I managed to fix it and also connect it to the internet (Ive fixed a few PCs) anyway I did all the updates then it took forever to shut down.
Now it wont load it just says loading thats all. Or I get a black screen and now it doesnt want to load.. I cant get in to do a restore or do a hard drive test. Do u suggest anything?
I downloaded recovery disks the other night n they dont seem to want to work either. b4 I got it working I somehow got in and did a recovery or factory default software then it worked but I cant remember how I got I there lol.... any info will be helpful..and thank u in advance
Its running windows vista

As far as I know recovery disc cannot be downloaded so I dont understand what have you done exactly.
Anyway if the notebooks hardware is OK you can install OS using original recovery DVD disc or install OS using original Microsoft installation disc.
If you have this original recovery DVD (ask your friend if he/she has one) use it for OS installation.
If you use Microsoft disc all necessary drivers you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
If you have more concrete questions you are welcome.

Cannot get Search Server to work

I am installing plumtree corporate portal. Everything seems to work except for the Search server. Any ideas?

Probably will need more information about your ability to search. But...
1) You will need to ensure the Plumtree Search Service is running2) Items are not indexed until the Search update 1 job runs, this means you will have to STart the job Server. The Search Agent should run immediately upon starting the job server.

I Cannot Get Flash Player to Work Properly

The Basics :
Im Running Windows XP Home Edition Service pack 3
I have IE7 (I had IE8 But was told that this was the problem so I went back to IE7)
Problem:
Everything worked fine until a couple days ago, then it told me to do a flash player update and that is where everything went to hell in a handbasket.
I can no longer access sites that require activex (IE: Farmville, Cafe World, and other apps on facebook). As I previously stated everything worked fine until I did the update. When I dl and install the Flash Player again I reboot and then go back to facebook and try to view the pages again but all i get is the message its not installed and at first I would just click the click here link and try to reinstall. Now I dont do anything but exit the page, uninstall and try again. I really don't know what else to do.
What I have Done:
I have uninstalled Flash Player, reinstalled it at least 10 times. I have tried the forced removal, as per many instructions here. I did NOT dl the Beta 10.1.
I have removed IE8 and reinstalled IE7.
Please can someone help me get out of this stupid loop. Im getting so frustrated.
Thanks
Giggs

Help! I cannot get a server to work on my one game!

On Garry's Mod, and Counter Strike: Source, i cannot make servers. I also am not very good with routers. Can someone please help me?

Hi,
First of all you have to assign a static ip address on computer on which you have to host games, like
ip: 192.168.1.10
subnet mask:255.255.255.0
Default gateway:192.168.1.1
Then need to forward ports used by the mentioned games on your routers firewall, to this static ip address.
Ports used by Counter Strike:
1200 set as UDP.
27000 - 27015 set as UDP.
27020 - 27050 set as TCP.
Ports used by Garry's Mod:
27015 UDP
27015 TCP

Cannot get voice mail to work properly.

I have a Galaxy 5S, I have deleted all my voice mail messages but the screen still says there is one. When I push 7 it tells me there r none to delete. I have shut my phone down 3 times hopi g rebooting would help, but doesnt

Perhaps you can try to take out the sim card after powering down. Wait a min or 2 and reinsert SIM then power on. If that doesn't work, sounds like it is another of the widespread issues and bugs in 5.0, unless you haven't updated to 5.0 yet. On a related note, but different phone, I had a similar issue and called my VM and slowly went through option 7 to delete messages just to make sure. I also had to have a data connection, for some reason, for the icon to disappear.

Cannot get QT Pro to work properly

I am just getting a white screen on playback of hi-res QT movies. they play on other systems. I know there has been a lot discussed about this, but nothing I have tried has solved the problem so far. any advice?

White playback window means you're missing the required video codec.
Installing the missing codec would allow playback but some codecs can't be installed without also installing the software that uses them
FCP allows export using some high end editing codecs and those files could only be shared and viewed with Mac's that also have FCP.
Easier method is to export from FCP using the H.264 Video codec for HD files.

I cannot get airport extreme to work. Can you help me?

I have a G5 Power PC. I recently purchased a macbook and an Airport Extreme. I cannot get the airport to work. Can somebody help me please??
G5 Power PC and macbook Mac OS X (10.3.9) new OS X on Macbook

I plug the ethernet from the airport to the back of the modem (a Webstar unit) from my cable provider. Then I plug the other cable from the back of the airport into my G5. Then plug in the power cord. I get lots of flashing lights - "thinkin & blinkin", but then I get a message that it cannot locate the server. Even rebooted. I've been waiting for the IT guy to call/email me back me back but no response yet. I'm guessing I may just need a new location, but I'm not wired to think IT-like (I'm a very right brained graphic designer), I I don't want to screw anything up.
Do I need to just go through a new internet setup?

Cannot get mail server failed

Message keeps saying Cannot get mail, server failed.

i had to manually put in the correct email. I wanted to register a hotmail account but since it was giving me that response, I researched this issue. Finally, I found out some specifics and gave it a try. The post said to Go to Add email and Click Other. My email is a live account... I needed to type::
host name: outlook.com
SMTP (Outgoing mail server): stmp.live.com
Server port as 995
When I put all of that in, it worked. Hope that helps!
