Close Mac Server App still run?

Hello, if I close my Mac Server application (I have a mac mini) will my websites still run? Or does the app HAVE to be open?

You do not have to have Server.app running all the time. Your websites and all the other services will keep running in the background.
In fact it is firstly best not to leave Server.app running all the time because it will after a period often get confused about the status of the services, and secondly this can be a security risk as it makes it available to anyone else. It is also for the same reason not necessary or desirable to even have a user logged in on the server. The services do not need this.

I am unable to access internet when server app is running on mac mini

I recently installed the server app on a mac mini. With the app open, I am unable to connect to web pages through the mac mini. I do not have this connection problem with the server app closed. While I can see my IP address I am also not able to connect to the server. Would love some advice how what I am doign wrong with the setup.
My ISP is a DSL through century link, the mac mini is hooked to a cisco E4200 v2 wireless router.

You'll need to go through the configuration of the server, sounds like something is off.

Hosting an ecommerce website with iMac and Mac server app

Would it be possible to run an effective small business website which includes an online store using my iMac (or Mac mini), a WYSIWYG editor, my current ISP, plus, do effective SEO, configure and employ other revenue streams in addition to my own website shopping cart feature such as google shopping and implement other revenue streams on my website like ad-sense?
I need to set-up an ecommerce site for my small business which I just bought a domain for. What I'm trying to find out is if it is better to use a web host, or, if I could use my iMac with the Apple server app (or buy the mini server) and host it myself. I don't have any programming language skills, but, I believe I am capable of doing this myself once I begin to comprehend and practice the neccasary processes to make all of this happen.

Getting the easy question out of the way: yes, an iMac running Server.app and add-on eCommerce software can do this.
Now for the tougher question: should you? You're signing on for maintaining and updating and troubleshooting and potentially site remediation and decontamination after issues or security attacks. You are also signing up for PCI compliance, if you're not working with another entity for credit-card processing. (Anything with credit card data is a target for attacks; there's money involved.)
There're the more germane aspects, too: ensuring your (static IP) network links have bandwidth, availability and latency (eg: ISP bandwidth, pingdom or other uptime checks, et al), and maintaining your servers against crashes and corruptions and hardware failures (eg: RAID, possibly redundant systems); maintaining site access against the usual sorts of outages. Software updates for OS X and for the ecommerce software and whatever other dependencies are involved, too. Regular backups are most definitely required.
Or alternatively: getting somebody to maintain this stuff for you, either hosted, or dedicated to and on your server(s) and your network links, or on your own co-lo servers.
All this in addition to running your business, and writing (good, frequently updated) content that'll draw in the search engine ranking and/or buying search keywords or whatever you're doing for advertising that'll draw in potential customers, and dealing with the finances and the rest.
Servers are somewhat different from clients, in terms of system management, too. Servers involve more than one user when they're out, and so you're not rebooting or reconfiguring them nearly as often as client systems can be modified. Servers can also tend to chew up bandwidth, if you're successful.
Key to running a business is figuring out what you don't need to do (either at all, or that you can outsource or host or whatever, or hire out for, etc), so that you can focus on what you do need to do to make the business successful... If you're just getting going and not into system administration and programming payment gateways and the rest of running a server, I'd suggest hosting the ecommerce stuff, at least to start with. Unless you want to learn how to run an ecommerce site, that is...

Add/Update user-type (Custom types) .jar while the server is still running

Hi!
I'm connecting from a .NET App to the cache server so I have to create the java version of my user-types, I compile this classes into a jar file and I send that in to the class path when the server starts:
%JAVA_EXEC% -server -showversion %JAVA_OPTS% %SYS_OPTS% -cp "config;_*lib\custom-types.jar*_;%COHERENCE_HOME%\lib\coherence.jar" com.tangosol.net.DefaultCacheServer %1
What happen if I want to add a new custom type while the serer is still running ? Do I just have to replace the jar file ? is this going to be reflected on the server since it is already running.
If I have to stop the server then what should I take in to account to avoid data losing ?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,
Yes, using all the default out of the box Coherence POF support, you would need to restart the cluster to pick up any changes.
Do you really need the Java classes on the server side? Depending on what server side functionality you are using you might not actually need Java representations of the .Net classes. For example, if these are you entities that are being cached and you are never calling code that deserialises them, then there is no need for Java classes.
You could potentially write your own implementation of a POF Serializer (PofContext) that is used on the server side that can dynamically add and change classes.

Need help with network user accounts on Mac server App on Yosemite, any tips?

I've been trying to set up a small network with the Server app on Yosemite. I don't want to do anything crazy with the server, I'd just like to know how I can set up network user accounts so that they can login from other Mac computers on the same network. I already have Open directory set up, the Macs that will be used on the network with the server have already been joined to the server under login options. I have created the network user account, I have also joined the user account to a group that I created. When I try to login to the network account from one of the Macs, it doesn't work. I'm pretty rookie with Mac server, can anyway give me any pointers of what I should be doing? Or if I am doing something wrong. Thanks guys.

The most important step, once you've got Open Directory and DNS set up, with Local Network Users set up in Server.app, is to make sure that all client Macs are using the server's IP address as the primary DNS server in System Preferences > Network, and that they have joined the Network server in System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Options.
Having said all that, I have just spent hours setting this all up only to find out that Mail doesn't currently work with Network Homes in 10.10.3 / Server.app 4.1.
I will be hoping that Apple recognise the bug, and put out a fix soon.

Can apps still run even if closed through multi tasking?

I'm having a nightmare. I ungraded to 4.2 and safari started not loading properly after 15 mins use. No amount of clearing cache etc solved it. I got it exchanged and had 4.2 put on in the Apple store in case my version was corrupt. New phone had same issues. Another replacement... This one had a dud battery so in last ditch attempt before the long trek to the Apple store I put 4.2 on again. Battery improved but safari started not loading again- the blue bar only reaching part way so I constantly have to refresh. I keep all not active apps closed through multi tasking, also notifications off. I'm wondering if any apps can appear closed but still run- cuz asides from a bad app, I can't understand what might be causing this. Different phones, different 4.2, and always restored as a new phone. I'm at my wits end!

Thanks so much for your answer.
Yes, I am sliding to power off.

Deleted Chrome app still running in dock

I completely deleted Google Chrome from my Macbook Pro because it was apparently still running even after I quit and force-quit it multiple times. I deleted the app using AppCleaner so no Chrome files still exist (supposedly), but the app is still running in my Dock.
I've tried re-installing Chrome, but it just creates another Chrome application and the blank white page icon is still there. I deleted the second Chrome and this one still remains.
Any solutions?

The white icon suggests some Chrome files are still on your computer.
Reboot your machine after deleting the Chrome files. That's the way you finally purge your computer of applications you want to delete. Afterwards, perform a Spotlight search (Command-space) to search for other Chrome files you might have missed.
And post here with your results.

Mac Mini Fan Still Running After Turning Off Computer

I turned off my computer (Mac Mini) and, after the screen had gone black and the light turned off, I still heard the fan running. I turned off the monitor and my speakers, but it was neither of them, it was the mini. It also wouldn't let me turn it on again. I tried, but the light wouldn't come on. So I unplugged the power cable and plugged it back in and it turned on. Any reason why this happened and should I be worried?

Safari disappeared, Windows are gone App still running

The Following is an example it happend previously related to other Tasks.
I try to test a Website from DW and hit the Preview-Button, this takes me to Safari. So far so good.
But all i can see is the Safari-Icon in the Dock running, it allows me to show how many windows i have currently open and all the other Dock-Icon-Rightclickoptions. I can see de Menu on top of my Screen and browse it, even use it! To create new Tabs or Windows, change from FC to Windowed and so on…
The strange thing thou is, that there is no Safari-Window at all visible!
When i go to MC it will not show up as a Fullscreen-App running nor it is visible on any other Desktop...

How the JMS client detect if the JMS server is still running?

I have a JMS server running on Weblogic and a JMS client running as a standalone application on my local machine. I ran into the problem that if the JMS server is down for a period of time and then get re-started, the JMS client will lose its connection to the server. Since JMS client is just passively listening to the topic it subscribes, it will have no information about the status of the JMS server. Therefore it will not be able to receive any new message if the JMS server is restarted.
I wonder if there is a way I can have the JMS client automatically detect if the connection to the server is lost or reset. I tried to use a while loop in JMS client that does a JNDI loopup every minute to check if the JMS server is up. But if the WL server is down, the JMS client will just catch an exception and crash.

Hi,
You should use an exception listener that allows a client to be notified of a problem asynchronously. As your client only consumes messages, it would have no other way to learn that its connection has failed.
Hence, you should implement the interface ExceptionListener (let says MyExceptionListener) and define your reconnection logic in the method onException(JMSException exception). MyExceptionListener has to be registered with your connection with the method:
public void setExceptionListener(ExceptionListener listener) throws JMSException
Hope it helps,

Why are apps still running?

Why is it that even after I shut off the phone and turn it back on, there are still apps in the multitasking pane? Shouldn't all of the apps have closed when the phone was shut off?

Location apps will turn themselves back on when the phone is restarted.
For further clarification, this and Google may help a bit.

If an iPod touch 5th Gen is completely powered off, can apps still run down the battery?

Hello,
I own an iPod touch 5th generaion that is less than 2 months old, it worked great until about a week ago then the battery started depleting rapidly, usually fully within a 12 hour period even if I did not use the unit.
I started trying to figure out if there is anyting I cold do and learned a lot about apps left open draining the battery, etc. but making sure they were all closed did not help.
I then restored the unit to factory default, but this does not help.
The last thing I tried was to turn the unit completed off at night using the power switch by holding it until the unit turns off.
My question is, once I do this can any app use any power at all?
The reason I ask is because I had spoken with 3 Apple technicians and all 3 of them do not understand or can answer the question. They keep asking me if I know how to look in the taskbar to turn off the apps which once the power is off is not an available option.
I will greatly appreciate your response.
Mike.

Thanks so much for your answer.
Yes, I am sliding to power off.
