Creating Sharepoints with Mac OS X Server 10.5.5

First when I log into WWM it show that I am logged in using the local directory. Tiger had an option where you could add sharepoints and I don't see it inWWM 10.5. How do I add sharepoints so I can create my users and groups?

After reading the manuals the above should get you going as well as making more sense?

  • Share DVD-RW with mac os x server 10.4.7

    Hello,
    i've an iBook G3 with Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 installed and a LaCie DVD-RW attached. Is it possible to share and mount the DVD drive through internet and burn data that i've on a PowerBook G4 connected to the same network, with Toast or iTunes?
    thank you
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   the last one PowerBook, 1 Go RAM

    Hi
    Personally I do not have mush experience with netboot
    The 10.4.7 DVD you purchased is possibly the Intel version of OS X Server?
    I would run the combo updater to bring your 10.4.0 version up to the latest and then see if netboot works
    You can download the updater from here-

    Edit-
    Whoops you will need the 10.4.7 combo update first before using the above updater, get it here-

  • Can't see volumes with Mac os x server install

    I'm having a problem installing MAC OS X Server on a RAIDed MAC PRO (3 drives @ RAID 5: Here are the steps that I have done so far with no luck: created a RAID level 5 with RAID utility from CLIENT OS install cd that came with mac pro. Created one giant volume with the entire contents of disk space on the RAID with the CLIENT OS install cd/RAID utility also. Rebooted, the MAC PRO, ejected the CLIENT OS cd, inserted MAC OS X server install CD. When I get to the screen where I choose my volume to install the OS on, I can't see any volumes. I was told by Apple and CDW (reseller) to go to disk utility and do an ERASE on the volumes, that should format the drive and should be seen by the OS X Server install. It didn't work. It's interesting that I can install the normal client OS after creating my RAID, Volumes, etc... But the OS X Server install DVD doesn't see the volumes during the install process, OR using disk utility from the OSX server install disk, but disk utility on the MAC OS X client CD sees it fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Does Apple support their RAID card in Mac Pro using Server? or does Server need to be updated? Minimum requirements for Mac Pro RAID card is 10.4.10.
    You could try the cheat method: install everything on a single drive and clone it and see if it works.
    From a discussion yesterday or Monday, only Apple drivers are supported on the Mac Pro (firmware?) and not 3rd party retail drives (a bummer) so you've got nearly $2000.

  • Mixed PC/Mac environment with Mac 10.6 server sharing issue

    In this mixed environment, I can't figure out how to get new documents created on the Macs (saved onto a shared folder on the server) to be set as read/write for the PC user. I'm not a Mac system admin, just to start with, but I do use Macs all the time and feel like I know what I'm doing. This is just escaping me.
    So new documents and folders, when created by a Mac, are created with permissions that give user group "staff" and "everyone" read only access, and give the "nobody" account ready and write access. If I manually go in I can change it so that staff has read/write, and propagate that to contained items, and then everything is editable. But new documents in that folder (any everywhere) are still not. Can anyone help me figure out what setting must be changed so that new documents and folders created by Mac clients are created with staff having read/write permissions?
    I'll be back at the client site tomorrow so I'm really hoping (and expectED) to have an answer by then.
    Thanks!

    Basically you want to have your members (or groups) added to the ACL under the filesystem being exported over AFP / SMB.

  • LDAP and NFS mounts/setup OSX Lion iMac with Mac Mini Lion Server

    Hello all,
    I have a local account on my iMac (Lion), and I also have a Mac Mini (Lion Server) and I want to use LDAP and NFS to mount the /Users directory, but am having trouble.
    We have a comination of Linux (Ubuntu), Windows 7 and Macs on this network using LDAP and NFS, except the windows computers.
    We have created users in workgroup management on the server, and we have it working on a few Macs already, but I wasnt there to see that process. 
    Is there a way to keep my local account separate, and still have NFS access to /Users on the server and LDAP for authentification?
    Thanks,
    -Matt

    It would make a great server. Bonus over Apple TV for example is that you have access via both wired ethernet and wireless. Plus if you load tools from XBMC, Firecore and others you have a significant media server. Cost is right too.
    Many people are doing this - google mac mini media server or other for more info.
    Total downside to any windows based system - dealing with constant anti-virus, major security hassels, lack of true media integration and PITA to update, etc.
    You should be aware that Lion Server is not ready for prime time - it stil has significant issues if you are migrating from SNL 10.6.8. If you buy an apple fresh Lion Server mac mini you should have no problems.
    You'll probably be pleased.

  • Question about mac mini with Mac OS X Server

    Hello forum,
    first I want to say hello to each, because this is my first post in this forum.
    I want to buy a mac mini, but I have further questions before i buy.
    My Situation is, that currently I have a windows and a linux server (Windows => Exchange and Linux as a build server). Now i want to remove such servers and replace it with one mac mini server.
    1.) Currently I have an exchange server...Is it possible to use Mac OS X Server to work like an Exchange server?
    2.) I plan to use it as a build server which generates bundled software for Mac OS, Windows and Linux (Windows and Linux where running in VMWare Sphere)
    Is this possible with it?
    Thanks in advance
    Best Regards
    Roman80

    1.) Currently I have an exchange server...Is it possible to use Mac OS X Server to work like an Exchange server?
    That depends on how deeply-embedded you are into Exchange.
    If by 'Exchange' you mean the basic email/messaging tools then yes, but if you mean the full MAPI client/SharePoint/messaging/sync/compliance tools then no.
    2.) I plan to use it as a build server which generates bundled software for Mac OS, Windows and Linux (Windows and Linux where running in VMWare Sphere)
    This isn't an option. vSphere will not install on a Mac Mini. The only VMWare option for the Mac Mini is VMWare Fusion, which does allow running client OS systems in a virtual machine, but does not support the full suite of VMWare functionality. Whether it has enough for your needs cannot be determined without more details of how you expect this to work - if it's just a matter of having a Visual Studio running in a Windows VM, and some other compiler running in a Linux VM then it may be possible, it just depends how deep you need to go.

  • Best practice to host websites on xserve with mac os x server leopard.

    Hi Guys,
    I'm trying to optimize the xserve to host multiple joomla sites...
    Can some one help me with "hidden manuals or using your experience" about best practices out there...!!
    It'd be great on your part...
    Cheers

    Erm, Joomla site hosting 'just works' with Leopard Server site virtualisation and the built in mysql.
    If you want the best practice try Mac OS X Server Essentials Second Edition which has chapters about setting up multiple web sites.

  • Dell PowerVault MD1000 with Mac OS X Server 10.5 (mac pro with fiber connec

    Hey Guys. Its time that i add a bulk amount of storage to our mac network.
    Currently Our network consists of one mac server which is a Mac Pro with Mac OSX Server 10.5 installed on it with 4 x 750GB Hard Drives with a couple of client machines. I now need to add atleast another 6TB to the network. This needs to be seen as the server as one drive so that 6TB needs to be raid prosume (raid 5)
    Now in the Mac Pro server we have a Fibre Card that we dont currently use with 2 slots. My Plan is to buy a Dell PowerVault™ MD1000 (http://configure.euro.dell.com/dells...ulmd1000sata) and put in the amount of hard drives i require into the Dell Storage.
    Would this work. If i bought the Dell PowerVault™ MD1000, would i beable to hook this upto the mac server and use it as a storage drive? Although i do no networking. Im still very new to this.
    Ideally im looking for something similar to an Xserve Raid, but with out the Apple price tag on the outside if you guys no what i mean.
    Best,
    Nathaniel

    You would at least need a SAS/SATA controller - preferably a hardware RAID one, much like the one bundled with this unit - but it also needs to be OS X compatible.
    I would look for something that is known to work, not something you "cobble" together.
    The FibreChannel card does you no good if you haven't got a device with FC ports.

  • Problems with Mac OS X Server and webperfcache...

    I'm running Mac OS X server 10.4.11 and I'm trying to get mod_rewrite to work (thus far unsuccessfully). As part of my debugging strategy I want to turn everything around apache off and start pulling things apart to see if I can get them to make sense. When I turn the web performance cache off on all my sites using the site administration utility, apache gets a bus error when it attempts to restart. When I turn web performance caching back on, apache continues to get a bus error. Reboots, et al. don't clear up the problem and all I can do is go back to my system backup and bring up the previous day's version, which I can currently live with.
    Has anybody seen this before? Alternatively, has anybody had problems getting mod_rewrite to work and can give some advice. I'm doing pretty much everything that works on other U*x based systems and has worked before, but the lack of control over the ports used by the web sites on my system is problematic and I would, at the very least, like to be able to turn off webperfcache.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dick Munroe

    I am actually going to be doing almost exactly the same thing in the next 1-2 weeks. My plan is to make the OS X server a BDC on the domain, then promote it to PDC and retire the Windows Server 2k3 PDC.
    I have 1 Win2k3 PDC and 1 Win2k3 (64-bit) Terminal Server. My main worry is whether the PDC is handling the licence CALs for the TS.... if it is, that will interfere with the plan.
    Email me and let's discuss this off-line.
    Thanks,

  • Issues with Mac OS X Server 10.4.8 and Windows File sharing

    We are having lots of issues with our SMB share on Mac OS X Server 10.4.8. The main issues are the following:
    - Group ACLs seem to not work properly, and I have had to add dozens of manual permissions on a per-user basis
    - Often, users open a file in read-only mode, without any reason, and can't modify it
    - Often, users open a file with full write access, but then cannot save it and have to use a "save as function".
    After having looked all over the Internet and on the Apple's discussions forum, it seems like this issue has been around for quite some time now:
    http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?forumID=702&threadID=&q=smbANDpermissions&objID=f702&dateRange=thisyear&userID=&numResults=15&rankBy=10001
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1546867&#1546867
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=647251
    And no real answer/solution has been provided by Apple yet.
    I also looked on Samba related pages, and it seems like these issues were Samba related (both ACL/OpenLDAP and Microsoft Office file handling issues), and the current version of Samba (3.0.23c) seem to have solved lots of issues in these areas:
    http://us1.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.0.23c.html
    Apple ships Samba 3.0.10 (16 Dec 2004) with 10.4.8, which makes the shipping version at list 15 versions (and 18 months) behind the current Samba release (30 Aug 2006).
    People within the company are obviously quite unhappy with the situation and beyond me looking like a fool for migrating from Windows Server to OS X, I now need to find a solution to the issues.
    I would like to know what is the official and Apple recommended way to solve this issue.
    Kind regards,
    Pejvan
    It seems like Apple is totally ignoring the issues, users are facing with SMB shares, while their emphasize as a selling point how OS X Server is a great "windows file" server.

    Hiya
    Thanks for the reply.
    >Is there a UPS involved?
    I wish there had been. I might not be having to deal with it now! :-)
    >If you boot from the Install Disc & use System Profiler there, does the Same RAM situation? Did you physically >check those slots? Thinking maybe the OS is kicking them out on bootup?
    I've had the following suggested to me on another forum - "My guess on the RAM error is this. You have a processor that wants the RAM to be dual channeled and since it reads both A slot are populated it wants both B slots to be populated. Remove A2 and put it in B1"
    But unless it is degrading performance I'll probably just leave it.
    > Still can't get it to boot from the Clone holding the Option/alt key at bootup?
    I can get it to boot from the Clone using the option key but it's a pretty random event. I can try for ages and then suddenly it'll work. Or it may work first time. It does seems to work more easily after a PRAM zap. The funny thing is that once it is booted up it will re-start in any way I want it to (the boot volume, the clone, a disk, single user mode etc). It is just hard to boot from a full shutdown.
    I'm thinking that if I ca get the start-up issue fixed then I can fix the RAID issue at my leisure and even add the hard-drive that the clone is currently on to the RAID array.
    Thanks again.

  • Help Please with Mac OS X Server v10.5 Install

    I am currently running my everyday computer 2.6GHZ MacBook Pro on my wireless network I want to install the Mac OS X Server V10.5 standard install but I keep getting a message stating I need to have the computer plugged in to the ethernet cable??? I want to do this wirelessly I only need the basic install so I can learn how to use the server - Can anyone help me in getting this set up with out having to plug it in...I use an airport extreme and have a wireless network set up already - I really could use some help Thanks

    Just plug in an ethernet cable during the installation process. One of the requirements of server is access to primary ethernet as a common installation is performed headless. The only way to "ensure" network access is with ethernet as there are commonly no requirements other than plugging in a cable. Wireless most often requires authentication or at least selection of the desired wireless network.
    Just get a patch cable and use it for the install. Once you have the install complete, set primary network to the wireless port and then disconnect the cable.
    Hope this helps

  • Simple Home networking with Mac OS X Server

    Hi all,
    Can anybody give me a quick guide to setting up a basic home network with the use of Mac OS X Server for central administration?
    I have 2 desktop macs, 1 mac laptop and 2 PC laptops and occasionally I have a number of friends bringing around their laptops.
    I would like to set up all the basic services so that guests and registered users can access share points and home folders . I would also like to be able to use the DHCP service for this and be able to use basic services like DNS and AFP.
    Does anybody know how to quickly set this up on a private home network?
    I am new to Mac OS X Server so be gentle
    Thanks.

    John Detroye works for Apple education in Colorado, USA. He has written what i consider the best practical guide to setting up a Server system for use in a School, which is essentially what you want to do. Although he wrote it initially for 10.3 Panther Server, almost all of it still applies.

  • How to spare my HD with Mac OS X Server v10.5 Leopard?

    Hi there,
    I just got my iMac few days ago. I have install Mac OS X Server v10.5 Leopard problem.
    Its any could teach me how can I spare my Hard Drive to show 2 in my desktop, one will be Application App & another will be Storage..
    Its "Mac OS X Server v10.5 Leopard"(computer version) can only use on new mac??

    Ohhh... Okay... You want to partition your hard drive.
    Instructions can be found here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61301
    You must do this while booted from the OS X install DVD and choosing Disk Utility from the Utilties menu. Also be aware that you must back your data prior to changing the partition scheme, as it will reformat the hard drive.
