Darwin Server Help

Hi Guys. I'm a complete newbie to Darwin, and have some really basic question to ask... whenever I download the program for mac, each time I want to launch, I have to reinstall, as it seems to make no difference to my target drive. I'm then rerouted to a web-based interface that I don't understand at all. can anyone offer any help?
I really only want to unicast to a Linux server which will then embed my feed in a pre-prepared page, but am not really a web guy, so any help at all would be much appreciated...

I though port 80 handled all internet traffic...
By no means. Port 80 is HTTP traffic, that is, web pages. There are many other TCP/IP ports in use across the Internet.
should I consider just running broadcaster, and Darwin Streaming on my MacPro, and then pointing the web browser over to it, instead of trying to run darwin on the server?
No. Broadcaster and DSS need to be on separate servers, and it's best if DSS is on a different server from your web server (and if you want to allow DSS to stream over HTTP Port 80, it must be on a separate server from your web server since they'd both be using port 80).
I think you're sort of working from both ends on this, and that's complicating matters. My suggestion would be to work to get Darwin Streaming Server working to serve pre-recorded material first. Then once that's working, you can work on getting Broadcaster to feed live material to DSS. The cookbook I reference above should help get Broadcaster working with DSS. I see I made a typo in the URL; try this one instead.
If that still doesn't point you in the right direction, you may need to contract with someone experienced in web streaming to assist in the intial setup. It's difficult to work through the entire process in a web forum. This sort of venue is better suited to answering specific questions, not providing a full backgrounder and step-by-step guide.
Regards.

How to deploy JavaHelp server help demo on JBoss?

I tried JavaHelp's server help demo on tomcat it worked fine. I was able to view all the help docs. But I need to change the configuration for the demo to work on JBoss-4.0.1. I deployed the content on Jboss but when running the index.jsp, I got this error. What am I missing? Do I need to change the implementation or what? Any input is appreciated.

Mac mail - SSL option for the SMTP outgoing mail server - Help!

Mac mail (Version 6.3 (1503)) will not let me "uncheck" the SSL option for the SMTP outgoing mail server - Help!
Thanks!

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

MP3 playing in Darwin Server

Hi,
I am trying to get MP3 playing in Darwin Server. I added a playlist using Darwin administrator page. When I play the playlist, a MP3Broadcaster.exe diaglog box pops out, saying "MP3Broadcaster.exe has encountered a problem and needs to be close." I am using Windows XP and the MP3 is not hinted in the playlist. Any idea on how to fix it? Thanks

You may get a quicker answer if you ask on the Darwin Streaming Server mailing list:
http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/streaming-server-users
You're more likely to have experienced DSS administrators participating there.
Good luck and regards.

Do script models need support of Darwin server?

Do script models in c/c++/Java that Darwin produced can run without support of Darwin Servers? If these models are trained perfectly, can they run in nonDarwin environment?

A C/C++/Java model exported by Darwin can be run independently of the Darwin server; it requires wrapper code to ensure that the data format is the same as was used to train the model, and to store the resulting scores.

Darwin Steaming Server On A Linux Web Server - HELP ASAP

Hello,
I'm wanting to install Darwin Streaming Server on my Linux Web Server.
How do I do this? I've uploaded the files and not sure what to do now?
Any help will be great...thanks!

Hi Jacques,
think I'm having a similar type pf problem you experienced way back in May.
Did the below suggestion fix your issue.
I'm running Red Hat Ent 5.0 with MySQL and BOXI 3.1.
I get the error
A database error occured. The database error text is: {Driver Manager} Data source name not found, and no default driver specified. (WIS 10901)
I know my unixODBC can't be working correctly since my isql doesn't work.
I've been hanging out in these forum's the past few days and your problem seems to match the one I'm experiencing at the moment.
I'd appreciate it if you can remember how you overcame the issue and could share your learnings.
Thank you, Ed

Newbie setting up qt server help please ??

Hi
I am new to setting up quicktime streaming server but am advanced on mac os x server.
What i have been able to do so far without any probs is, setup my movie files to stream when accessed via a url for eg. rtsp://intranet/music.sdp
this will play my music when i access the link but i would like to know if there is a way that whenever i have someone click on the link can the song or movie start from the beginning ??. qt does not have the buttons available to go to the beginning because it is a live broadcast ?
Any help or guidance would be great

Hi:
If you use an archived file for streaming you'll find that the buttons (as I have) are gray for the forward and back. However, you can use the playback indicator to go forward or backward in the timeline simply by dragging it. It's not as fine a controller as the buttons but it works.
The other issue is that you're attempting to provide an "on demand" stream. If you check out the manual it covers this (however lightly) and what it has to say may help your situation. The manual can be found at http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/QuickTimeStreamingSrvrAdminGuide.pdf
There are a few paragraphs that give me concern for your particular application as it may be what you're trying to do:
{quote}QuickTime Streaming Server (QTSS) or Darwin Streaming Server (DSS) cannot be used to natively serve MP3 ﬁles on demand (that is, as an HTTP download).
Rather QTSS and DSS support of MP3 streams is intended for shoutcast/icecast-compatible live streams (such as those created by a streaming playlist) or live streams of other compatible MP3 live encoder broadcasters.
If you wish to serve individual MP3 ﬁles on demand (not as live streams), simply host the ﬁles on a web server in a web documents folder. {quote}
Hope this helps resolve the problems you're having.

Discoveries while trying to setup Leopard Server - Help! What am I doing ??

I have documented 2 scenarios and i would like some help with proper build procedures. Until today I have been using the host record I asked my ISP who also hosts Pri/Sec for my company domain to setup. It wasn't until this morning that I realized that they didn't setup a PTR record so because of that I did a RDNS lookup on my static IP and today I programmed that into the host/domain fields thru my build so that there was proper RDNS for the setup. Which looks like this rrcs-0-0-0-0.central.biz.us.rr.com zero's being an actual static IP.
Scenario 1- Install Leopard onto MacMini with Standard install and use Apple Airport extreme for NAT firewall/router. Ok so I have done this about 4-6 times to try and get this right.
A. Install Leopard and let OS auto config Airport-N for port mapping.
B. Airport WAN is static IP from ISP and LAN is 10.0.1.1, Mini LAN is 10.0.1.2 Airport is DHCP provider on LAN.
C. Mini hostname is set to rrcs-0-0-0-0 and domain is set to central.biz.us.rr.com
D. After the system was rebooted after install I immediately got an error because the server prefs told me it could not find server rrcs-0-0-0-0.central.biz.us.rr.com which was weird because it is a brand new build. but since I setup the computer name to be mac-srvr I was able to remove the FQDN and input mac-srvr.local and then I could sign in. ---- I think this happened because when I am trying to log into the server prefs it's going out and performing a lookup and returning an error because from inside the FQDN reverse is actually the WAN interface of the Airport and not the LAN of the mini even though I told the mini to be the FQDN. Hope that makes sense and someone can tell me if I am right and then how to fix it .
E. When I connected the MacBook and setup a user on the LAN side and then immediately disconnected from LAN and performed Dialup to the internet I was able to use the VPN for the first time which is great but but but the ichat would not work as I kept getting certificate errors and the ical from what I remember was good.
So major issues here in this scenario is that internally the server is setup as rrcs-0-0-0-0.central.biz.us.rr.com and services don't seem to be able to find that computer. And second ichat does not accept the default certificate and or cannot connect to the ichat server.
Scenario 2 - Install Leopard onto MacPro with Standard install nic0-wan with static ip 0.0.0.0 and nic1-lan with static of 192.168.1.1
A. Install Leopard and set hostname=rrcs-0-0-0-0 and domain=central.biz.us.rr.com with computer name of mac-srvr.
B. Upon server reboot and the second interface is not giving out IP's, I found that the range was from 192.168.1.2-254 and the default search domain was example.com because I Ieft that field blank during install and so I had to stop DHCP and setup someting like company.office and restart and all is was good.
C. Once Macbook was on LAN and services setup properly I then disconnected and I was not able to VPN into the network like on the macmini unless I opened up the server admin and went the vpn console and then enabled pptp with another range. I could then PPTP vpn but not L2TP which should have worked out of the setup. But when I do PPTP I cannot gain access to server resources via smb://192.168.1.1 which is what the server automatically creates when you run server gateway assistant.
D. The ichat and or L2TP VPN does not work unless I actually go into the Server Admin and disable it which I have another posting in VPN/Networking support about this for a 3rd build showing the same issues.
So major issues here are that services such as ichat, L2TP does not work unless I disable firewall, PPTP does work but does not pass traffic onto the LAN or I can't log into the server shares.
So if anyone has any insight, I am about 20 rebuilds in trying to get just one working properly over the past 3 days. And if anyone has a step by step that would be even better lol. I have all the Apple Server Docs as I attended a training seminar recently so I am well versed in the generic documentation but there is nothing in the server admin or any other apple doc that states this is what you need and how to do it as far as setup goes with setting up your Leopard server if you don't have external DNS and or if you just want to have a fake dns setup like fakeserver.fakedomain.office as we do with SBS. So any help would be good.

Found that if I clean up DNS for my domain with PTR and A then everything started working properly after a rebuild.

Want to Install 10.6 on Mini built for 10.6 Server - help?

Hi there - I'd recently bought a Mini Server running 10.6 Server Edition, and I'd like to install the regular 10.6 OS on it... but the Mini is not letting me. I keep getting the grey screen of death followed by a kernel puke every time I go to install.
Anyone got any hints on getting that normal 10.6 installed on hardware configured for 10.6 server?
For those wondering: I need the normal 10.6 OS so I can run MAMP. MAMP is not reco'd or supported by 10.6 server - http://forum.mamp.info/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8062 I actually got MAMP running on 10.6 server... for a bit. Then it started throwing all sorts of errors, would not connect to MySQL, and then finally refused to launch. Ugh.
I will be using this Mini for web dev and running my install of ActiveCollab. Currently I have an older Mini running all of this, but it is running MAMP on 10.5 (not server edition) - and I'm just looking to update to the new Mini hardware, then take that older box and repurpose it somewhere. I actually blogged about the original 10.5 setup a while ago, the overall scenario has been updated a bit since then (not using Remote Desktop Transporter any longer or but it's roughly the same configuration as it was then: http://www.fatheaddesign.com/352/build-your-own-mac-dev-server-for-under-100/
Thanks so much for any assistance everyone, any help is very much appreciated!

Niel: Fantastic suggestion, and I am definitely going to try this.
Question though: if I can't get this Mini to boot from a normal OS install disc, then what happens in the future if I need to do any maintenance on it via bootable OS disc?
Just thinking out loud here, if that cloning method works than possibly I should do a mirror of the system onto a hard drive right after install, just in case. Then if anything happens I can either fall back on my Time Machine backups or do a clean reinstall from the mirror and then restore files from the Time Machine backup.

RMAN backup restoring to new server help!

I'm using Oracle 8.1.7. The production database was copied (datafiles, controlfile etc) to a NEW server that I'm trying to set up as a development DB. I take full database backups using RMAN from the production server, and I want to restore them on the development server. I think I somehow have to specify the filename/location of the backup file but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
I am not using a recovery catalog.
Any help is appreciated.

If you restore the controlfile backup to the development server RMAN
will "read" the expected location of the backupsets from there.
In 8i you cannot use the CATALOG command so you have to copy all
the backupsets to the same path on the development server as on the
production server.
Once you have your init.ora and controlfiles in place (and created the
expected target directory structure for the database and redolog files),
you can use STARTUP MOUNT and thene RESTORE from RMAN.
I believe that you should be able to rename files in 8i RMAN as well.
If not, you'll have to stick to restoring to the same location.
The key thing is that the controlfile records the "location" of the RMAN backupsets
and the "location" where datafiles are to be restored to.

Upgrading Mail from 10.3.9 to 10.4.8 Server - Help Needed, Please

Hi
I posted a message a few weeks back with regard to this topic, but have had no replies. I don't seem to be any further on in solving this on my own, so I'm posting again in the hope that someone will be able to assist.
I have an Xserve G4 running 10.3.9 which is a Open Directory Master, PDC and also acts as a Mail Server for our domain. The system software is installed on one 60gb drive in the Xserve and the Mail Store is on a second drive. All the Windows clients can log into the domain and their mail is on IMAP using Outlook as their client.
I am now installing a second server in another office, and obviously this will be a new XServe running 10.4. I would like to make this an Open Directory Replica but now need to upgrade the first server to 10.4 before I can do this.
Each attempt has been at the start of a weekend when staff have gone home, so that I can shutdown Mail and clone the Mail Store before proceeding.
My first attempt was to install a new 10.4 installation onto a drive module and then attempt to upgrade the Mail. I removed the original 10.3.9 startup drive and I cloned the mail store drive before attempting and then followed the instructions given in this article:-
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301656
When running the first part of this script, I get a socket error and don't seem to be able to get beyond this point.
Next, I atttempted a straightforward upgrade. To do this, I again cloned the Mail Store onto another Drive Module, and so that I could roll back in case of problems, I also cloned the startup drive. Once this was done, I then removed the original drives for safety, booted and proceeded to upgrade the Server software from 10.3.9 to 10.4 performing all updates along the way.
When I first booted, I had quite a lot of errors, DNS zones hadn't come over, and I had to kerberize the system, but after doing this and several restarts to cure other problems, all seemed to be OK, but then when I invoked Windows services and tried to log into the domain from a PC client, it failed saying the Domain Controller wasn't available, and the server log shows "Broken Pipe" errors and I cannot seem to resolve these issues. Server admin, also now loses connection with various services at intermittant times and I have to reboot.
So, my conclusion is that the 10.3.9 installation on this server is way too flaky to be upgraded and I must find another way.
Ideally, what I would like to do, is install a brand new 10.4 system onto the server, setting up DNS, Open Directory etc etc ensuring that my clients can log into the domain (copying their profile to the new account if necessary) and then upgrade the Mail once it is all stable. Can anyone help me with this by giving me a step by step guide? I am willing to pay for someone who knows how to do this if they can help me with a guide or perhaps even provide remote assistance.
Thanks in advance

PowerBook G4 17" Mac OS X (10.4.8) G4 Xserve 1GHz, 1.5GB RAM, 10.3.9 Server

They've never heard of a G4? That's shocking, perhaps you shouldn't go there anymore :P.
OS X 10.5 requires at least an 867 MHz G4, unfortunately. You can upgrade to OS X Tiger (10.4) though (Just run software update after installation to get to 10.4.11).
You can find Tiger cheap on eBay or the likes, note you must buy the full retail version which looks like this:

Oracle AS connect to MS SQL server - help please.

hi there
can anyone tell or show me how to connect Oracle app server to MS sql server? thanks

Hi Tom,
For stand-alone OC4J (any version), you need to add an appropriate entry to the "data-sources.xml" file (in the "j2ee/home/config" subdirectory) and put the JDBC driver file(s) into the "j2ee/home/lib" subdirectory. On my OC4J 9.0.3 distribution (on my Windows XP machine), there already is a "ms-sql.xml" file in the "j2ee/home/config/database-schemas" subdirectory. If you don't have one, then you may need to create one, or if you do already have one, you may need to modify it. More information can be found at these Web sites:
http://www.orionserver.com

Hope this helps you.
Good Luck,
Avi.

Java code to create a new .txt file in FTP server --- Help

Hi,
I wrote a standalone java app which creates a .txt file in my local machine and transfers it to FTP server. But my requirement now is to create a new .txt file with the same content in FTP server itself instead of creating locally with basic java code.
I'm aware of transfering file from local machine to the FTP server using STOR command of FTP. But i never tried creating a new file & writing content into that in FTP server.
So, if any one did this before please help me out with source code or any idea ???
Thank you.
Vj.

thanks for your reply. yes i've seen the Apache Commons NET API , but there is no method or class to create a new file in FTP server. I'm really worried how to solve this problem ???Sure there is.
There's a method where you can write data to a file on the server using an OutputStream, right? Well, instead of writing to a FileOutputStream, write to that OutputStream instead. Remember to close the OutputStream and call the method which says you're finished with the command (I forget what it's called).

Connecting a kiosk to a server - help out a newbie!

well no exactly a newbie, but sort of
hey all
i am self-taught and i have pretty good as3 and mxml skills and have worked with Flash Pro and Flex, but only for my own stuff at home. i have only done local AIR stuff that don't require sending and getting data from a server
now someone has asked if i could build him a kiosks/server system, and i want to dive into that
the kiosks would be deployed in stores and have touchscreens displaying pictures, movies, banners and accept user control and data - no problem here
i plan to build his remote controlling software in Flex and the kiosk AIR apps in Flex or Flash pro.
the kiosks should periodically connect to the server to see if updates are available and download swf, jpeg and movie (mp4? flv?) files to the local filesystem (no live streaming is needed)
also, user created data (forms only) should be sent to the server - i guess xml
since i have no server side or server connection experience could you help me out here - what to investigate further into:
URLloader?
Sockets?
HTTPrequests?
WEBrequests?
RemoteObects?
can all this be in as3 alone or do i need stuff like php also?
also, would i be able in the controlling flex app to determine if specific kiosks are offline?
thanx a million,
Saar

you can use urlloader to load data from the server but you may also need serer-side code (unless you're hard-coding file names).
