ColdFusion 8 on a MAC Server

Hello,
We have been using ColdFusion on Windows and Unix servers
since its birth. Due to internal reasons, we are now considering
moving all or part of our CF applications to a MAC server. As far
as I know CF8 Enterprise edition on a MAC has only recently
received full support. Yet, it is not supported on Leopard. Also,
it does not look like mulitple instances of CF are supported on a
MAC server (
http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/pdfs/cf8_multiple_instances_wp.pdf)
. I have not been able to find any place with consolidated
information about supported and unsupported features, performance
and bug reports for CF 8 on a MAC. I would greatly appreciate if
you could share your experiences and if possible answer the
following questions.
1. What functionality available in the Enterprise edition of
CF8 on Windows/Unix is not available/or limited on a MAC?
2. What serious bugs/problems have been reported on a MAC
platform? How severity and frequency of the reported bugs compare
to the Windows/Sun platforms?
3. How does a MAC version handling heavy-duty database
(Oracle) applications?
4. Could you share some examples and experiences of deploying
CF8 on a MAC in a serious production environment?
5. What would be your recommendations regarding hardware for
pretty involved database applications with mostly data retrieval
activities handling hundreds of thousands records.
Thank you so much for your help!
Rimma

The odbc client/server app that ColdFusion 8 ( and mx6 &
mx7) uses to make ODBC connections is a windows only application.
Therefore ODBC socket is only available on windows. You will not
find it on linux, unix or mac versions.
FileMaker 9 appears to supply both ODBC and JDBC drivers.
Perhaps earlier versions do, too. Use a JDBC connection to connect
to filemaker as described
here.

How do I use my own domain name with Mac server with iWeb

For a number of years I have had my own domain name that when typed into a browser it would redirect the browser to my site on the .Mac server. I hear with iLife ’08 I can have my own domain name hosted by .Mac so I know longer have to have the long addresses for each pages the I have now for my site (i.e. the http://web.mac.com/thewildhearts/WildheartPhotography/NatureGalleries.html). How do I go about getting my domain name (wildheartphotography.com) so that Mac will host it and do I need to notify the current host that Mac will be hosting my site now?
Thanks. I really appreciate the help I get from this forum.
Pat

It's very easy, really. You go to your domain control and redirect the address. IPower, for example points the domain name very easily: you just type in the URL of your site and it will point to your mac server.
I've used GoDaddy before and it is a bit more difficult to "point".

How to set a static IP address on a Mac server?

I am setting up a New Mac server for a mail sever and have resieved the MX record and IP address from the ISP and DNS providers. Now I am trying to set up the server to be seen on the out side, or even on the network. Is this all done in the Network confiruration by maually setting the IP and Sub Mask there? I have set it all up to what I think they should be but not having any luck. When I installed the server software I told it to be a stand alone server was that wrong. I will not be running DNS or any other services on this system only Mail.
thanks

You should enter the IP address/netmask, etc. during the first-time-boot setup. Changing it later can be a PITA, but it sounds like you did that.
Setting 'standalone' shouldn't be an issue since that only relates to directory services.
It sounds like the problem is a more basic connectivity issue.
Have you verified that you have basic IP address connectivity? Can you ping the router address provided by your ISP? Can you ping remote sites outside your network? If that's not working you're not going to get much further.

Communication between two Macs Server

Communication between two Macs Server:
Can they work together and communicate and interact normally in a PowerMac network, OS X 10.5.8 Server installed, and a MacPro computer that is running Server 4.0.3 on Yosemite? Had to do some additional implementation?
Regards

from the JavaDocs:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html
getContext
public ServletContext getContext(java.lang.String uripath)
Returns a ServletContext object that corresponds to a specified URL on the server.
This method allows servlets to gain access to the context for various parts of the server, and as needed obtain RequestDispatcher objects from the context. The given path must be begin with "/", is interpreted relative to the server's document root and is matched against the context roots of other web applications hosted on this container.
In a security conscious environment, the servlet container may return null for a given URL.
Parameters:
uripath - a String specifying the context path of another web application in the container.
Returns:
the ServletContext object that corresponds to the named URL, or null if either none exists or the container wishes to restrict this access.

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.

How do I create a DNS record on my Mac Server?

Re: Configure DNS - OS X Server Next Steps
Feb 13, 2011 6:36 AM (in response to Jimbooooooo)
You're setting up internal DNS services, you referenced your ISP DNS servers and you should not have, and now those servers have no translations for your hosts. This is a common misconfiguration.
See [configuring DNS on Mac OS X Server|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436] for how to set up your internal DNS server.
And if there are any references to your ISP DNS servers here (within your client settings, within your server settings, your Airport settings, etc), then you're usually going to have DNS and connectivity problems. You're running a server now, so you'll be running your own services, and (particularly because of NAT here) referencing only your own DNS server(s).
You may be setting up external DNS (if and when you need that), but that should happen after you set up your internal DNS. The above article has a link to setting up external DNS, when you get around to that, if/when you need in-bound connections into your LAN.

Remote Desktop and Mac Server Access

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking to find out if the iPad can support remote desktop access to another Mac and if Apple has released "Server Admin" and related tools for monitoring and administration of their Mac Server OSX?
Regards,

I have seen RDP, VNC, Citrix and View (Wyse) clients in the appstore for the iPad.
My next step is to confirm what happens if I use an external video display while using one of these applications.

Simple question; Mac Server Setup for Mail, iCal and Address Book Services.

Hi Guys;
I'm new to the Mac Server world and need a few questions answered.
I have purchased a new Mac mini Server for hosting File, Web, Mail, iCal and Address Book Services.
I’m comfortable setting up File and Web Services however I’m a bit uneasy setting up Mail, iCal and Address Book services to be access locally and remotely(via the internet).
My current setup is;
Internet connection (Dynamic IP) -> Router -> Mac mini Server.
I have purchased a domain name (Thornton-net.com) from DynDns.com + a custom DNS service as I can setup my router to update my domain’s IP address automatically.
I can access File and Web Services remotely (thortnon-net.com) perfectly without any issues via the Port Forwarding feature of the Router.
If I setup Mail, iCal and Address Book Services -> will Mail, iCal and Address Book clients be able to access these services hosted by the server via Thornton-net.com?

Welcome to the forums.
For mail services (and specifically for your outbound mail to be accepted by other mail servers) your mail server needs to have a static IP address and matching forward and reverse and MX records, or a tunnel to a static IP (with matching DNS), or you need another mail server where you have an authorized relay. Without that, your mail will be considered a spam engine, and dropped.
Additionally, your particular tier of service with your ISP (with a static IP) will generally allow server-oriented access and server-oriented network traffic, where a residential or other tier of service (with a dynamic IP addresses) can be firewalled.
The ISP controls the "high ground" of the network connections here, so you pretty much get to play by their rules and requirements. If they don't offer static IP, then (presuming their T&Cs permit it) you get to tunnel (via IPv6, for instance) to a tunnel broker, and receive your network traffic via that (and with matching DNS) point of presence. That could well be a tunnel for your mail at whichever your DNS provider is here, because you'll have issues with your dynamic address. (You get to sort out if they offer that.)
Far and away the easiest approach (if you want to host this stuff yourself) is to work with the ISP. They're inherently involved in your network, and they and they alone have full control over your reverse DNS configuration.

Help needed with Mac Server set up

Hi
I have purchased a mini mac server, that i want to use as a replacement for my windows home server, for basic back ups & to run a website with possible remote access.
At the initial configuration screen where if you manually configure your connection via ethernet, after putting the desired internal ip, sub net, router and DNS, it should find my domain on the next page where the server would be named. this does not happen, ( this is where i need the help )
I have a domain name
fixed external ip with my it pointing to my domain name
and a RDNS setup with my ISP
Any help?
you can email me directly : [email protected]
many thanks

If you're running NAT, well, you have some choices on how you might choose to [set up DNS services|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436]. Once you get that sorted, there's a link there to the set-up for the public-facing (outside your external firewall) network configuration, too.

Trust relation between mac server 2.2.1 (10.8 mountain lion) and windows server 2008 r2

i have the following settings:
windows 2008R2 domain server.
mac server 2.2.1
mac client machines
mac server machine is joined to Active Directory in windows 2008r2 without any problems.
mac client machine is joined to mac server without any problem.
the only problem is that i cannot log in to the mac client machine with a username from the active directory in windows 2008r2. i can log in with a created user on the mac server.
i did a trust relation in windows 2008r2:
Realm trust
Transitive
One-way incoming
still cannot log with ad users. can anyone help me in the configurations if i missed something? i am new to mac servers and their configurations.

does this mean that on every mac client i have to join 2 domains, the windows domain and mac domain?
Yes
then, why to use "workgourp manager" in mac to copy all the active directory users to mac server group? i do this to make all users available for authentication through mac serve ronly.
Am I right? The users on your macserver are a copy of your users of the AD? It was not necessary to do that. Because all Users will listed on the Server.app on the User-Manager if you setup was correct. And this means:
- first join your Mac (used as Server) to your Active Directory
- second Install the Server.app. The Setup Wizard will do the rest.
In my case, on the Usersection an the Server.app I will find "Benutzer von FAMILY-NET" that is my Active Domain.
and if i join the mac client to windows domain for authentication, why do i need the mac server for? i need only to authenticate users in active directory on mac os x and that is only it.
In this case - you need no Mac Server!
Only if you want to use the Services of the Mac-Server (DNS, Wiki, Mail,...) or Manage you IOS/Mac Devices. Than it is necessary.
sorry for my many questions, i am very new to mac os x and server.
No problem. I lived in Mac-Worlds since 2 years. I infected with it with the purchase of my first iphone.

What is the recommended number of clients per Mac server? Also what are some recommended specs when purchasing an Apple machine that will have Mac OS X server installed?

What is the recommended number of clients per Mac server? Also what are some recommended specs when purchasing an Apple machine that will have Mac OS X server installed? We have around 300 clients that need to be enroled on the Mac server. I want to know what is the recommended amount of clients a Mac server should contain. Also what are some recommended specs to make sure the server will flawlessly?

Hello cpreasbeck,
Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
I was able to find the following transition guide for Xserve that provides some workload guidance to determine performance when planning a server deployment.
Transition Guide Xserve
http://images.apple.com/xserve/pdf/L422277A_Xserve_Guide.pdf
On page 9, Performance there is a chart that provides maximum numbers of connected users for various activities such as file sharing, mail, web, calendar, directory services and Time Machine and the CPU used as a server (Xserve, Mac Pro, Mac Mini). This information is a bit dated as the referenced software is Snow Leopard Server (OS X 10.6), and the hardware is older also, but it should give you a general idea of what you might need to look for.

Ask in the ID forum and be much more specific about your configuration. there could be any number of reasons why manifests, temp files or restore files are created.

HELP! NEW TO MAC SERVER MAIL

Call me a dumb but I am new to our Snow Leopard Server software coming from a Windows server. I have watched tutorials at Lynda.com and went through manuals but don't understand how to set up our client mail. We are confused with the instructions because the Mac server allows you to set up "user mail" for you own company.
We are looking to set up a bunch of e-mails for all the different domains we host on our server. These are not our personal company e-mails but our client e-mails for the different websites we are hosting for them.
So how do we set up and configure (add new) e-mails for the different domains on our server?
I hope I haven't been confusing and you guys understand what I am asking. Thanks!

There are a couple of ways of handling multi-domain email. The 'right' way for you depends on several factors, including exactly how you're trying to implement mail/domains, how comfortable you are with command line vs. GUI configuration, and number of users.
If you're just looking for a catch-all email for each domain it's probably easier setup using pure postfix virtual domains. that requires command-line configuration, though.
Using the GUI will require that you add every user to your directory and then give them additional 'short names' that match the email address(es) in the other domains.

Post .mac site to another domain name still on mac server?

I have both a domain name that is .mac and a .biz url. I do not have another server to upload to (I just own the domain name), and would like to use my .mac website designed using iweb '06 v.1.1.2 and load it on the mac server but have the .biz url be the url the public will use... this is for a business website. How do I do this?
The directions in all the help files assume the use of another server holding the domain name... maybe this is a requirement, but seems to be a waste to have a .mac account but have to have such a convoluted url for the public.
Is this possible?

Hi there,
little correction: they don't assume having another server. They assume having it registered from a domain registrar. Which is quite different. You have to tell the domain registrar to point the domain to .mac.
This page may help... At least I hope it does...
