Help needed with OSX Server 10.5.8

We're running a headless Xserve (RackMac3,1) with OSX Server 10.5.8 that did its job flawlessly.
Now we want to update the Perl software from 5.8.6 to 5.20.0 or newer. After downloading the suitable version from CPAN we tried to install, but get the following msg:
Uh-oh, the C compiler 'cc' doesn't seem to be working.
You need to find a working C compiler.
Either (purchase and) install the C compiler supplied by your OS vendor,
or for a free C compiler try http://gcc.gnu.org/
I cannot continue any further, aborting.
Is there a way to install the missing tools remotely via the command line (SSH)? A step-by-step recipe would be most welcome.
- Harald -

RackMac3,1 is PPC/G5 processor so you are not going to have an easy time with this. Perl 5.2.20 is bleeding edge (OS X 10.10.3 comes with v5.16.3).
I would leave Apple's installation of Perl, etc. on the server strictly alone and install MacPorts:
     The MacPorts Project -- Home
and work from there. You aren't likely to get a step-by-step recipe because its not an exercise a rational person would chose to spend time on.
Have you considered rewriting whatever features in your code require Perl 5.2.20 than to upgrade your server? Or buy a new server, you could probably pick up a Mini for about $200.

  • Help needed with streaming server

    hello. i work with a firm that provides hosting. one of our
    clients has asked if it was possible to use a streaming server from
    flash. now, to try it out, i've downloaded the trial version for
    the flash media server 2. i've read through the documentation, but
    i still cannot make it do what i want. as an example, i've
    downloaded the 'dynamic playlist' example. i've set it up
    completely as it's said on the site tutorial, yet i cannot connect
    with the server. before you ask, yes, the server is running and the
    application is loaded. the only thing i've really changed in the
    example is the url of the server inside the xml file. when i test
    the flash in flash pro 8, i get the message
    NetConnection.Connect.Failed, no matter what address i use, be it
    localhost, the internal ip address of the firm, or the external ip
    address for access via the net. admitted, i'm not the most
    knowledgable person on flash, but i still need to get that server
    running.
    obviously, my boss wants that server up and running as soon
    as possible. can someone help me to set it up so i can make a
    connection with the server?
    i can be reached at [email protected] thanks in advance to those
    willing to help.

    Hi,
    please try this sample:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashcom/articles/broadcast.html
    The simplest sample works like this:
    1. Create a subdirectory in your [FMS_HOME] called "tutorial"
    2. Create a subdirectory in tutorial called "streams"
    3. Create a subdirectoy in streams called "video" (or use
    _definst_)
    4. Create a flv file using Flash Video and save it in your
    "video" directory.
    The server structure should look like this:
    [FMS_HOME]
    |------- applications
    ______|---------- tutorial
    ____________|---------- streams
    ___________________|----------- video
    ___________________________|---- videoToPlay.flv
    Now you can play the stream from within your flash
    application.
    The quickest application is created like this:
    1. Create a video instance (right click in "Library" and
    select "new video", name it "video" and make sure it's action
    script controlled. Then pull it onto the stage and make sure you
    give the instance a name, e.g. "myVideo")
    2. Now you need 5 lines of code.
    // a connection
    nc = new NetConnection();
    nc.connect("rtmp://localhost/tutorial/video"); // Important:
    No / (slash) at the end
    // Create stream onto your connection
    ns = new NetStream(nc);
    // Link your display to the stream
    myVideo.attachVideo(ns);
    // myVideo is the name of your video's instance (see above)
    // play the video
    ns.play("videoToPlay");
    // videoToPlay for videoToPlay.flv
    I hope this helps!

  • Help needed with exchange server

    I had my exchange server set up for the past few months. Yesterday I stopped receiving my work email. So I deleted the account thinking if I just set it up again it would work.... it didn't! It keeps telling me exchange account verification failed. Nothing changed with the server that I know about. I log in on my home computer thru webmail and I know that's what the server previously was. any ideas on how to make this work???

    I think I'm having the same problem. My exchange email has been working since I got the phone back in August, yesterday I had to change my password because it was expiring so I went to enter the new password into my phone and it wouldn't connect. I deleted the account and tried to set it up again and I keep getting the error "Exchange account verification failed". Nothing I do seems to work. Its very strange everything worked fine and now all of a sudden I can't get it to work.

  • 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.

  • Help Needed with Unresponsive Server

    Hi,
    I have a server at a remote location which is fairly unresponsive. It responds to ping but not much else. I need to restart the server but a psshutdown has done very little.
    I have tried a number of tools but I get RPC Server Unavailable or WMI service unavailable.
    Are there any tools out there that can reboot the server without the use of RPC or WMI?
    We have had a numbe of domain controllers falling over of late due to running out of memory and I believe this could be down to a number of agents we rolled out and a memory leak. Is there a remote processor tool out there I can use to view this? I have
    tried a few but agan they tend to use RPC and WMI.
    Your help with this is much appreciated.

    They can probably help you over here with IDRAC setup.

  • Pop/Imap retrieving and redistribute in LAN with OsX Server

    It's possible to download mail accounts hosted in my isp and redistribut'em in my lan with OsX Server with it's own mail server?
    The scope is not to have a local server mail because we have ADSL and sometimes the line broke up...
    We prefere have mail hosted more securely in our external isp.
    But an internal mail server is a commodity very useful...
    Sorry if the questions is answered before...
    Thanks in advance.

    Maybe not easy but should work:

  • Mac Mini with OSX server still OK?

    HI All,
    I was going to purchase the mac mini that was geared up to work best with OSX server however that option is now no longer available and the mac mini's have downgraded slightly in terms of quadcore processors and 2tb harddrives.
    We run a small design studio, file sharing is becoming a large hinderance on workflow and I thought OSX server sounded like a good solution for someone with little knowledge of the area. We have four imacs, and three macbooks. Our team is growing fairly quick and that number should double next year.
    Any ideas would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Just get the latest mac mini, add some external storage with a Thunderbolt 2 connection and that setup will work great for filesharing.
    You will get gigabit network speeds and since it's Thunderbolt 2 the mac mini will have no problem to serve those files across the network.
    Make sure you get external storage with a decent RAID setup like a Promise Pegasus for instance, and invest in a good back-up solution.
    Then clone your mac mini OSX Server setup daily towards the RAID and you're good to go!
    Get a Mac Mini with an SSD or Fusion Drive and 16GB of RAM. That'll keep you going for the next couple of years easy!
    Goodluck!

  • Help needed with Vista 64 Ultimate

    "Help needed with Vista 64 UltimateI I need some help in getting XFI Dolby digital to work
    Okay so i went out and I bought a yamaha 630BL reciever, a digital coaxial s/pdif, and a 3.5mm phono plug to fit perfectly to my XFI Extreme Music
    -The audio plays fine and reports as a PCM stream when I play it normally, but I can't get dolby digital or DTS to enable for some reason eventhough I bought the DDL & DTS Connect Pack for $4.72
    When I click dolby digital li've in DDL it jumps back up to off and has this [The operation was unsuccessful. Please try again or reinstall the application].
    Message Edited by Fuzion64 on 03-06-2009 05:33 AMS/PDIF I/O was enabled under speakers in control panel/sound, but S/PDIF Out function was totally disabled
    once I set this to enabled Dolby and DTS went acti've.
    I also have a question on 5. and Vista 64
    -When I game I normally use headphones in game mode or 2. with my headphones, the reason for this is if I set it on 5. I get sounds coming out of all of the wrong channels.
    Now when I watch movies or listen to music I switch to 5. sound in entertainment mode, but to make this work properly I have to open CMSS-3D. I then change it from xpand to stereo and put the slider at even center for 50%. If I use the default xpand mode the audio is way off coming out of all of the wrong channels.
    How do I make 5. render properly on vista

  • Help needed with itunes

    help needed with itunes please tryed to move my itunes libary to my external hard drive itunes move ok and runs fin but i have none of my music or apps or anything all my stuff is in the itunes folder on my external hard drive but there is nothing on ituns how do i get it back help,please

    (Make sure the Music (top left) library is selected before beginning this.)
    If you have bad song links in your library, hilite them and hit the delete button. Then locate the folder(s) where your music is located and drag and drop into the large library window in iTunes ( where your tracks show up). This will force the tunes into iTunes. Before you start, check your preferences in iTunes specifically under the"Advanced" tab, general settings. I prefer that the 1st 2 boxes are unchecked. (Keep iTunes Music folder organized & Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library). They are designed to let iTunes manage your library. I prefer to manage it myself. Suit yourself. If there is a way for iTunes to restore broken links other than locating one song at a time I haven't found it yet. (I wish Apple would fix this, as I have used that feature in other apps.) This is the way I do it and I have approx. 25,000 songs and podcasts and videos at present. Hope this helps.

  • Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail!!

    Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail?
    I had 7 junk mails come in this morning, 5 went straight to junk and 2 more I junked.
    When I clicked on the Junk folder to empty it, it froze Mail and I can't click on anything, I had to force quit Mail and re-open it. When it re-opens the Junk folder is selected and it is froze, I can't do anything.
    I repaired permissions, it did nothing.
    I re-booted my computer, on opening Mail the In folder was selected, when I selected Junk, again, it locks up Mail and I can't select them to delete them?
    Anyone know how I can delete these Junk mails from my Junk folder without having to open Mail to do it as it would appear this will be the only solution to the problem.

    Hi Nigel
    If you hold the Shift key when opening the mail app, it will start up without any folders selected & no emails showing. Hopefully this will enable you to start Mail ok.
    Then from the Mail menus - choose Mailbox-Erase Junk Mail . The problem mail should now be in the trash. If there's nothing you want to retain from the Trash, you should now choose Mailbox- Erase Deleted Messages....
    If you need to double-check the Trash for anything you might want to retain, then view the Trash folder first, before using Erase Junk Mail & move anything you wish to keep to another folder.
    The shift key starts Mail in a sort of Safe mode.

  • Help needed with header and upload onto business catalyst

    Can someone help with a problem over a header please?
    I have inserted a rectangle with a jpeg image in  background, in the 'header' section, underneath the menu. It comes up fine on most pages when previsualised, going right to the side of the screen, but stops just before the edge on certain pages. I have double checked that I have placed it in the right place in relation to the guides on the page.
    That's one problem.
    The second problem is that I tried to upload onto business catalyst, which got to 60% and refused to go any further, saying it couldn't find the header picture, giving the title and then u4833-3.fr.png. The picture is in the right folder I have double checked. And it isn't a png. Does it have to be ?
    And the third problem is that I got an email following my upload from business catalyst in Swedish. I am living in France.
    Can anyone help ? Thanks.

    Thanks for replying,
    How can I check the preview in other browsers before I publish a provisional site with BC?
    The rectangle width issue happens on certain pages but not others. The Welecom page is fine when the menu is active, also the contact page, but others are slightly too narrow. Changing the menu spacing doesn’t help - I was already on uniform but tried changing to regular and back.
    In design mode the rectangle is set to the edge of the browser, that’s 100%browser width right?
    Re BC I have about 200 images on 24 different pages and it seems to be having difficulty uploading some of them. But it has managed a couple I named with spaces but not others I named with just one name.
    Is there an issue on size of pictures ? If I need to replace is there a quick way to rename and relink or do I have to insert the photos all over again?
    I’m a novice with Muse with an ambitious site !
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi
    Answering the questions :
    - Have you checked the preview in Muse and also in other browsers ?
    - Does the rectangle width issue happens when menu is active , or in any specific state , Try to change the menu with uniform spacing and then check.
    - In design view the rectangle is set to 100% browser width ?
    With publishing :
    - Please try to rename the image file and then relink
    - If it happens with other images as well , see if all the image names includes strange characters or spaces.
    - Try again to publish
    With e-mail from BC :
    - Under preferences , please check the country selected.
    - If you have previously created partner account in BC and selected country and language then it would follow that, please check that.
    Thanks,
    Sanjit

  • Help needed with BBDM 5.0.1 IP Modem

    Hi I was happily connecting thru the Net via the IP Modem in BBDM ver 5.0.1 all this while. Only this happened yesterday. Accidentally during the connection, my 9500 was disconnected from the USB cable. From that moment on, I cannot access the Net using the IP Modem feature. Tried to reboot the laptop as well as the 9500 but now all I get is the connecting message and then a pop up saying there is a hardware failure in the connecting device (or modem) ie the BB 9500.
    I even uninstalled BBDM 5.0.1 and reinstalled ver 5.0 and also updated back to 5.0.1 - same story. I can still access the Net via the BB browser etc
    Advise please thanks in advance
