FTP Displays as Disabled via Server Admin, but FTP still active via tnftpd

Server Admin (v 10.5.3) displays that the FTP service on our box is inactive.
However, FTP access to the server is still active. When I FTP via command line, I'm informed that tnftpd has allowed me to connect via FTP.
I'd like to have OS X's built in FTP services disabled so that I can use SFTP only via CrushFTP.
I can't figure out how to disable/block tnftpd. Any suggestions?
I tried adding a "nologin" file to /etc, but this ended up causing every shell session to error out with a "access not allowed" error.

The process was still loaded in launchd, so we just unloaded and that appears to have killed it for good.
Weird, but that would explain it. I'm just not sure if there's a launchdaemon that would need to be removed to keep it from starting up after a reboot.

Fonts disabled in Font Book but are still active in Phtoshop

I found this issue posted in 2011 but was never answered.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4094168?tstart=0#4094168
I am having the exact same problem as that user: I have a lot of fonts, but I only enable about 30 fonts at a time using Font Book. However, ALL 1000+ of my fonts still appear in the pull down menu in Photoshop. This causes my system to slow down and Photoshop to crawl.
Dumping my font caches is not helping. This problem seems to happen a lot and at random times. This affects ONLY Adobe products (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator). All my other programs work well with Font Book.
Specs:
Photoshop CS3
Font Book ver 2.2.2
OS 10.6.8 (20" iMac) Upgrading to newer OS is NOT an option.
Dumped all AdoneFnt*.lst files and restarted.
Restarted in safe mode.
Checked all fonts for corruption (all are perfect).
Tried FontNuke.app
Nothing works.
Why won't Adobe address this issue?

Hi psduser2000 and welcome to the Adobe Forums,
I have moved this thread from the beginners forum to the general forum, where you will be able to get more help.

Software Update via Server Admin 10.5.1 not working.

I have a headless XServe running 10.5.1 that I control using Server Admin. Unfortunately, the feature to install updates via Server Admin doesn't seem to be working.
When I click Check Now, it says it is "Checking for new software", then stays for a bit on "scanning in progress". It then stops, and there's no updates listed.
When I use ARD to log into the machine and run Software Update there, there are updates to be installed.
Does anyone know why this isn't working?

I experienced this with a pre-release build from the past.
You didn't specify where the build came from. Is it possible that the Admin that gave you the disk gave you an older pre-release build?
These disks often came from bit torrents or the developer connection pre-release builds. Todays modern binaries are not compatible with the pre-release OS, so its typical to see the error messages that you have experienced.
If you used a genuine apple branded production build then you may want to try the update again as I've seen that the update servers go down from time to time.

I have made many purchase on app but when i want to made an in-app purchase of a game, it appears "your purchase could not be completed". i have disabled the restriction already but it still doesn't work. anyone can give a hint or a hand here? cheers~~~

Thank you for your reply,
I know that plugins aren't being outright disabled and that people need to be encouraged to keep up to date, it's just that there's a lopsided amount of focus on them as a security vector from Mozilla.
I must point out however, that javascript security at the moment seems to consist of an on-off switch on almost every browser in existence: there is no obvious way to set "I don't want that site to know where my mouse is for my privacy", "I don't want that site to dynamically load content because it slows my browser" or the sort.
While there is CAPS ( http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/ConfigPolicy.html ) it is not configurable from within the browser (and its existence at all is obfuscated) and considering a lot of javascript is obfuscated to discourage run-time modification (say using web development toolbars) or discourage CAPS usage, there's little way to know what exactly to use CAPS on without reverse engineering. The average user would not be able to do this.
Javascript security needs to be more, much more than an on/off switch.

OSX Server 10.6.3 - (Multiple) Website hosting via Server Admin

Has anyone else experienced/had this problem? I am posting this hear in hopes that someone else has experienced this as well and may know how to correct/resolve this problem.
We currently have purchased a collaboration software I have installed and I am running via OSX. The files are stored in /Library/WebServer/Documents/collab. OSX comes with a default website built in at /Library/WebServer/Documents. I intend to install the collab website in anticipation of adding more sites in the future and possibly utilizing the default OSX web services as well. I have set up our internal DNS server to route collab.company.com to the internal ip address of our OSX server. The default OSX webpage is currently hosted on port 80, I am running our collab site on port 8x (we are already hosting websites on a different server on port 80, and the router can only forward port requests to a single ip address).
With this configuration, if I enter the address of collab.company.com, I get the default OSX server running on port 80. If I enter collab.company.com/collab, I then get our collab website (on port 8x). Essentially I want collab.company.com to open the collab website, not the OSX website. What is odd is, it seems that if I uncheck the default OSX webpage in server admin and disable it, change the collab site to port 80 as a test and go to collab.company.com I get a failed connection that the site is down or doesn't exist, like it is offline. It seems almost as if OSX is completely shutting down the entire directory of /Library/WebServer/Documents which is where the collab website exits inside of (Documents/collab). If I re-enable the default OSX website, then both websites become live again.
So I guess my question is, is there a different structure/architecture that should be followed to prevent this behaviour? If so, how do I get multiple websites installed and configured properly in server admin to respond to their appropriate dns requests. I also forgot to mention for my collab site entry in server admin I have the host name in the general tab as collab.company.com, as well as the alias collab.company.com, but when I enter collab.company.com I am getting the default OSX site.

I agree, this seems to make sense in theory, but here is the result I am getting.
I have my internal (not my osx server) dns server containing a host entry of collab.company.com = 192.168.1.xx. I have a virtual host entry in OSX in the aliases area (correct?) of collab.company.com for my collab site. However, whenever I enter the url in my browser of collab.company.com, I keep getting the default Mac OSX Server website page. I even put an alias in the OSX server site of mainpage to try and differenciate it, but it doesn't seem to take or matter.
So once again, in theory I think "oh, just uncheck the enable button next to the default OSX website", I uncheck it, and then both of my websites are offline, or appear to be? For my collab site, the link redirects, but I get the error page.
Safari:
Not Found
The requested URL /collab/public/index.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.14 (Unix) PHP/5.3.1 Server at collab.company.com Port 80
Google Chrome:
Oops! This link appears to be broken.
Thing is, I even changed my collab site to be running on port 80 as well as a test. I check enable for my osx default page, and they are both back online. If I change the default osx sites port to say 87 or something, and leave the collab at 80, I then get the same bad request messages etc. If I put the osx site back to port 80, they both work.

301 Wiki SSL redirect via Server Admin not working

I can't get http://myserver.com/wiki to redirect to https://myserver.com/wiki. I have other 301 redirects to send users to https pages working fine. How can I fix this? Thanks for your time - it's much appreciated. (Mavericks/Server Admin 3.1.2)

Regarding the redirect, I don't really understand why it's not possible. You can edit the non-SSL website in Web and add a 301 for /Wiki to redirect to https://myserver.com/wiki. In fact you can redirect the entire site to SSL - but that is problematic. I can understand why Mavericks server would be designed to automatically use SSL for wiki logins, if it's available. I only looked at redirects because this was not working. Without a redirect or with a redirect - I can login to Wiki via non-SSL or SSL. Where (specifically in which text file) are these redirects created using Server Admin written to? I can't find them in apache2/httpd.conf. Thanks again for your help.

Print Queue Management via Server Admin not working

We have Xserves (10.5.8) running the Print Service for queue management to our printers. Clients print through the server just fine.
When the printer jams or is otherwise paused, print jobs pile up in the queue as expected. The queue can be seen and managed by logging into the server, going to Server Preferences/Print & Fax and selecting the print queue.
However, when the queue for the paused printer is viewed within Server Admin/Print, the queue shows as empty and therefore can't be managed. We want to use Server Admin for this function because:
1) Server Admin can be run remotely on a workstation, so no login to the server required.
2) We can assign Print Service management rights to select non-admins so they can manage the queues.
Any ideas on why Server Admin fails to show spooled jobs? Is it working for anyone else?
I am using Server Admin version 10.5.3 which are the latest available that comes with Server Admin Tools 10.5.7. We had been running 10.5.7 on the Xserve and it didn't work then either.

Here's a bit more information about our setup and our experiences with Apple's CUPS implementation:
On the server, all printer queues are set up with only lpr and ipp sharing enabled with the PPD setting for each printer set to Generic Postscript. We found that setting the PPD to the printer specific one on the server caused problems when clients tried to use printer specific options, like paper tray selection, etc.. The selection would be undone, apparently because the driver on the server would override the previous settings. Using Generic Postscript allows the client PPD settings to go through unmodified. Our printers are general a mix of HP LaserJets and some Sharp Copiers.
All clients use lpd to the server queues with the printers' actual PPDs configured. Using ipp is superior in that printer feedback (jams, out of toner, etc) makes it back to the clients, but ipp only works when the client, the server, and the printer are on the same network. If the ipp client is not on the same network, the client spooler immediately goes into a paused state and the print job is stuck on the client.
Using lpd to the server queues works reliably, but there is no feedback to the client. Jobs disappear from the client queue and go to the server, appearing to the user as a successful print. If the printer is down, there's nothing they can see or do about it.

SSL Certificate appears valid in Server Admin, but as expired in browsers

I've imported a certificate from Thawte that expires June 29 2008. It shows the correct dates within the Certificates tab of Server Admin, and everthing looks fine, but when I load an https: page on my server, the browser tells me that the certificate expired June 30 2007.
This is a fairly new Mac Pro running OSX 10.5.2 Leopard Server, and Apache 2.2.
If you click on the embedded icon from Thawte that links to their site for verification, it also shows that the certificate is valid.
I've deleted and re-imported it a few times, and rebooted the server, but it always shows as expired in browsers.
Sample page with link to Thawte;
https://cstore.uvic.ca/index-ssl.lasso
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me get this fixed.
Brad.

Camelot,
Thanks for the reply. I'm not offended by your suggestion that it's something simple that I've overlooked, rather I'm hoping that it is.
I have selected the certificate on the appropriate site on the web panel. When you visit the site link In my original message, you'll see that the correct certificate is being served, but it appears as expired to the browser, even though it shows as valid in Server Admin.
I also found it in the Keychain utility, and it also shows as a valid certifcate there. I did find an entry in the Keychain utility for an earlier attempt at installing an expired certificate, so I deleted that entry.

Uninstalled a program via PowerShell script, but it still shows up in Programs and Features

I wrote a script that uninstalls a program just fine, but it still shows up in Programs and Features due to its entries still existing in the Registry.
Here is a portion of my script:
Start-Process
-FilePath MsiExec
-ArgumentList "/X$($MyProgram.ProdID)",
'/quiet'
-NoNewWindow -Wait
-PassThru
I believe the reason it is still showing up in Programs and Features is because I am missing some MsiExec switch to instruct it to be removed. I vaguely recall dealing with this about two years ago and I wrote a script that did exactly this, but now I completely
forgot what it was.
Can someone help me out here, please?
Thank you

I realize that, but honestly don't know where else to submit a question like this in the forums? Also, the vendor is Microsoft. What I am trying to uninstall is any Forefront component, because when I deployed the SCEP client via SCCM 2012 the SCEP client

SQL_Monitor for query shows DONE(ERROR) red X but Session still active

Hi. I'm just a developer so I was wondering if someone might be able to answer my question relating to the subject.
Basically I have a query that has been running for quite a while (12H) now. Thats not a problem. However, I'm confused about one thing. When I click on the SQL_Monitor tab for that query within my still Active Session it shows the SQL as having errored out. Nothing for my particular user shows up in V$SESSION_longops either. Its Oracle 11G with EM of same type. I believe that my session is still active as it still seems to be consuming resources. I don't need help optimizing my query, I've already managed to do that. I'd actually just like an answer to the following questions.
How can I tell if a query has really died?
Is it possible that a session will remain active while a query errors out and how could I detect this in my application?
is it possible for a query to be running that does not appear in V$SESSION_LONGOPS (or sql_monitoring in EM which I'm assuming are nearly the same thing)?
Is my only recourse to #2 if possible, to kill the session and start my query again?
Anyways, thanks a lot in advance. (No need to optimize this query as I've got the one that prompted this question down to about 3H and it ran fine.

Tom:
Were you able to resolve this problem? I too have a similar problem where I imported the image, went into the shared components of the app, definition, and under logo selected a logo type of 'image', and the logo attributes of #workspace_images#cmclogo.gif
This gets me a box with a red x in it, but no image and no clue what's wrong.
Any help is appreciated!

I cannot get into router page via server? But can on any other device?

Comcast Business Cisco 3939B wifi router.
I can log into the router page just fine on ANY other workstation or laptop direct connected to any of the 4 ports of the router using 10.1.10.1. I can access via Android phone browser via wifi also.
It just asks for username and password. No problem.
BUT.
When I try to do this SAME thing from the Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials connected via Ethernet port using Windows Explorer, it gets to the username and password page and after that, just sits there and says "logging in...".
Does Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials by default prevent this? or Internet Explorer do this? Do I need to set something on the server?
Not sure if the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 has anything to do with it?
thank you for any help.

Laserjet 200 will print via wireless direct but intermittently (once) via wireless network

Tried various troubleshooters on Hp and Apple websites to get this working consistently.
Installed new drivers for OSX Yosemite 10.10 - thought all would work fine as went through installing, printing test page etc. Then printer becomes unavailable - although it is on the list of printers.
Same thing has happened variuos times after re-installing it.
Will print directly via USB and wireless direct - but I want to print via the wireless network.
tried all the usual things - making sure on the right wireless network, restarting everything etc.
Using an airport router - are there some settings on this that may be causing an issue - odd though as will print once when initially connected to the wireless network.
Any ideas?

Hi @iphonebore,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Laserjet 200 M267NW will not stay connected to your wireless network running Mac OS X 10.10. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
Please see the following guides:
'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print. (Follow the steps for Mac OS X 10.7, and 10.8, as they will work on 10.10.)
Printer Does Not Maintain a Wireless Connection. (This will help you with maintaining the wireless connection.)
As well, please see this post, Incoming and Outgoing Printer Ports, by @VisionAiry, and verify that none of these ports are being blocked by your router.
One more place for some more wireless printing information is our HP Wireless Printing Center - Troubleshooting Issues website.
Hope this information is helpful, and thank you for posting!

"Disable Remote" has disappeared, but remote still working

I have a first generation MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.1. Under the Security preferences in the General pane, I should be seeing an option that says "Disable Remote control infrared receiver". However, in my main login account I do not see it.
I have created another administrator account and in that account, I CAN see the "Disable Remote control infrared receiver". This suggests to me that my main account has some corrupted preferences somewhere.
What preferences file should I delete? Or how do I solve this problem so that I can see the "Disable remote control infrared receiver" again?
By the way, my remote control is working.
HELP!

Hello
I have the same problem which came after installation of Snow Leopard. Under Leopard I had the remote disabled and now the option to disable/enable is gone (my remote is not working with the machine right now, but I presume that is because I had the remote disabled). I tried deleting the file mentioned in the response but after a restart nothing has changed...
I have checked the system profile and the IR is still mentioned under USB.
Any other ideas?
Regards Christian

HT1212 I bought an iPhone 4 off a friend it says "iPhone Disabled Connect to iTunes" but it still wont work.

i bought they phone from a friend. it says disabled. i brought it to the phone company but they cant restore it. anyways i can restore it at home? it has a passcode on it do i have no clue. i need help!

You are trying to restore from a backup. You need to search on how to put the phone into DFU mode to restore it without using the password. Google is your friend there.
