Help Please with Mac OS X Server v10.5
Hello, I am a newbee to the discussions board...I currently have a 17" 2.6ghz 4GB 200GB ATA @ 7200 MacBook Pro and I am wanting to start learning how to use the Mac OS X Server10.5 - This is my main computer I also run Adobe CS3 on the computer - if I was to purchase the server software for 499.00 would I be able to install it on my MacBook Pro and learn how to use it so at some point I can use it to manage a future business with 5-10 employees - I have no idea how to use this server software so I was thinking learn at home on my laptop before buying more expensive hardware - am I on the right track or is this not going to work - any help is greatly appreciated...Thanks
Hello and welcome to the Apple Discussion boards!
Well, the honest answer is that it will work but I think that quite a few 'features' might not be convenient/functional to use if you travel with the laptop.
There is nothing that stops Server from being installed on it. If it is just that this is your 'desktop' machine and normally does not leave the network it is currently attached to, it would be more than adequate. In other words, 'Tinkering' will be fine for this setup, but any type of 'serious' serving might overwhelm the HD (it is 'smaller', lower rotational speed, possible long term effects of 24 hour uptime use et al) but everything else will work as intended.

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 -
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. -

HT3854 Not applicable in Mac OS X Server v10.8 (Mountain Lion)?
This chart seems not applicable in Mac OS X Server v10.8.4 (Mountain Lion) [Server v2.1.1].
I have 32GB of RAM but the maxproc limit is still 2500, no matter setting via launchctl (the new way), sysctl (the old way), ulimit (the soft way), or both of them.
Commands applied:
$ sudo launchctl limit maxproc 2501
$ sudo launchctl limit
cpu unlimited unlimited
filesize unlimited unlimited
data unlimited unlimited
stack 8388608 67104768
core 0 unlimited
rss unlimited unlimited
memlock unlimited unlimited
maxproc 2500 2500
maxfiles 1048576 1048576
$ sudo sysctl -w kern.maxproc=2500
kern.maxproc: 2500 -> 2500
$ sudo sysctl -w kern.maxproc=2501
kern.maxproc: 2500
Files also created / modified accordingly:
/etc/launchd.conf
/etc/sysctl.conf
When I see the source code of the Darwin kernel (unix_startup.c), it works like it is specified here. But I still cannot I wonder whether the kernel calls srv_setup() and bsd_srv_setup() properly. I would like to find a way (via systemsetup command, modifying com.apple.Boot.plist, applying NVRAM parameter, etc.) so that bsd_srv_setup() would be called with a larger "scale" parameter. Or perhaps is there any way to compile a custom kernel from source and replace the system one?Gil,
The command with one parameter (known as "both" in manpage) is the same as the one with two parameters (known as "soft" and "hard" respectively in manpage) - it will be treated like supplying two parameters using the same value:
$ sudo launchctl limit
Password:
cpu unlimited unlimited
filesize unlimited unlimited
data unlimited unlimited

core 0 unlimited

Hi Folks ,,
I would like to get someinformation , with hadoop with mac os x serve integration.
If any of you is working on that kind of a environment , please let me knowYou upgrade the os to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply. -
afari 5.1.5 for Mac OS X Server v10.6 is no longer available for downloading, where I can find it?
FWIW, Software Update Server on OS X Server 10.6 did occasionally corrupt itself.
If I had a case of that arise, I'd get a full backup, would shut off Software Update Server, apply the current OS X Server 10.6.8 combo update and the current and subsequent patches, then reset the Software Update Server caches and force a new download of everything, and then restart the Software Update Server.
Alternatively — and given what I've encountering with 10.6.8-vintage hardware failures in the last few months — I'd probably look to migrate to newer hardware and newer software. Those disks are getting old, after all.
Software Update Server and Caching Server 2 on 10.9 have both been stable.
The Reposado open-source implementation of Software Update Server might provide you with an alternative approach, if Software Update Server is being recalcitrant and if you can't upgrade. -
Mac O X Server v10.39 troubleshooting start up. 'console mode' screen
I have recently made use of my old *G4 400 mhz* desktop mac, by installing an old version *Mac O X Server v10.39*, to use as home server. The installation has gone well and the server has been working well for over a week, the users and shared points have all been set and there hasn't been any problems. It is now running headless and I am controlling it via Apple Remote Desktop, I have also set the energy setting preferences to put the server to sleep at 10 pm each night. I also have three other family macs which are connected and configured to use the server.
But today I have tried to wake the server via ARD, but it wouldn't wake up and also when I have tried to getting it to manually awake up it doesn't work either, even though the front light is on.
I then have then pressed the small reset button on the front of the G4 and now when it boots up, after seeing it go through the start up screens and once the progress bar has reached the end, the screen then goes to a black screen with the words:
Darwin/BSD (Server name) (console)
login:
This is were I'm stuck, I have no knowledge of the Terminal scripts etc.
But I have tried the put in the servers name, then pressed return, at this point the next line came up as
password:
After entering the administrators password, the screen then goes to a plain blue screen.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get passed this stage in booting up, or what I am doing wrong and how I can correct this situation.
Many ThanksHello !
Remade an new install with a FQDN* (yourhost.yourdomain.com) hosted by your provider with a A and MX (if you plan to use mail setvices) records pointing on your host
Too : it's imperative to enter a valid ip on your eth. link (no public adresse : like as 10.x.x. or 192.168.X.X on your en0
Even it's possible to setup like this, you must configure your router or firewall ... but much complex ! (Port mapping ... virtual server ... etc.. DMZ if you have ... ???)
Install a second eth card is good think :
1 for the wan link on the EN0
the other for the lan EN1
with a "real" domain name and the ip supplied by your provider : you can setup your server with this public ip on your wan and a 10-net on your lan.
(Your dns request will be forwarding to the DNS IP servers of your ISP : one line in option of the named.conf file)
Before you can install the software with your ISP setup (DNS and domain name) : But don't launch any services !!! nothing ! all off !
upgrade your os x software before setup via pref panel ..
at tis time, you got an local acces who is accessible via yourhostname.local and once you have the necessary described (domainname.xx hosted and public ip adress you can setup the services by runnig "Gateway Tool" to start DNS, NAT, DHCP and VPN services.
The Firts step is OK !
After you can finish the setup with in first : The DNS forwarding
Once you hosname and reverse resolving : you will be able to jump to the next !
But before you must get a perfectly lookup of your hostame and ip addr
(You can setup your DNS as a primary server ! Bind 9.2.2 run well ! but ... not really easy without a goot practice of bind and a good overview of Domain Name basics ... and insecure for your data ; DNS crashed = O.D. dead and access data under LDAP denied and lost !)
good luck !

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 RAMHi
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-
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxserver10410comboupdateuniversal.htm l
Edit-
Whoops you will need the 10.4.7 combo update first before using the above updater, get it here-

Mac OS X Server v10.6.6 Software Update Service Host Older Updates?????
Is there a way to manually add older software updates to the software update service?
My issue started out like this. I would click change version beside both Mac OS X update/combo update v10.6.6 and select v10.6.5 because I want to push the older version. When I clicked save the check marks went away on those two items. I then figured I would refresh everything by renaming /var/db/swupd/http to /var/db/swupd/http-old and /etc/swupd/ to /etc/swupd-old. I restarted the service and all of the files were recreated and updates were downloaded but now when I click change version the older version is no longer available. Keep in mind that I still have the old folders so I can always go back and I can always download old updates from the Apple web site if need be. So if there is a way to manually add older updates hopefully my issue will be resolved. It was written in the description of Mac OS X Server v10.6.5 that a new feature was available that allowed hosting older updates but I can't find instructions on how to do so.
I welcome any takers. Thanks in advance!I understood the older version only being able to be hosted/downloaded when they come available, but were updated on SUS due to a bug or something, so as far as I understood, apple wont let you host that VERSION of that file again, unless you had it before.
Essentially, they only allow sus to download the last version of it, if you had the one before the last version, you could keep it. I could/might/usually am wrong though.

Help please with 2006 Macbook 13inch, for tv hook up.
Help please with 2006 Macbook 13inch, to hook up to tv for streaming. The display works through VGA but the audio isn't working. Got a plug that goes into headphone jack on computer and connects into the audio jack on the back of tv but no sound. I'm not quite sure what the issue is, whether its the wrong plug, the tv, or the computer. Best Buy says this is the right plug and it seems that it would be, but who knows. If anyone has any experience in this, I would appreciate the help!
Make sure those audio plugs are matched with the VGA plug. With your MacBook running something with audio switch between your sources on the TV Component, Composite and such. See if the sound is coming from another source. If so then you've got your audio plugs in the wrong jacks.
Also could you post the make and model number of your TV. -
