Help with CF9 Standard Install and Mac OS Server (Snow Leopard Server)

Hello,
I recently purchased a mac mini server (with snow leopard server) and will be using it to host my CF9 applications. This install is WAY different than the install needed on a windows machine. I tried to install it once and somehow hosed up Apache and now I can't even get it to start up (apache). So I am having the colo company to do a full restore of the server and I took notes on the Mac Server install and below is the questions I have.
1.) Since Snow Leopard Server comes with Apache webserver, it is what CF wants to use. This is fine, I just need to know where these things are...
It is asking for the Configuration Directory: I'm guessing it is /private/etc/apache2 ? Right or Wrong???
2.) It is asking for Directory and file name of server binary: It currently defaults to /usr/sbin/httpd is this right or should I point it to another directory?
3.) It is asking for Directory and file name of server script: It currently defaults to /usr/sbin/apachectl is this right or should I point it to another directory?
It also wants the location where I can place the CFIDE. Can I place this anywhere I wish or is there a preferred location to point this to?
and finally, I have CF9 Standard, so on the mac server should I install it as a server configuration (self contained instance) or Enterprise Multiserver config. I was reading online that its better to install as an Enterprise Multiserver setup, but I don't know if this will work for me since I'm useing the standard edition.
Please Help ANYONE, if you have mac os experience and installing CF9 onto a mac server
Thanks

I have been getting this exact same problem. CF installer is somehow writing some invalid information into the httpd.conf file. I was able to replace the httpd.conf file with the default one, and was able to go through the webconnector process again and (sometimes randomly) it works. I also spent about 4 hours on the line with adobe CF support and made no progress beyond what I'll post here .
To answer your questions about file locations:
/private/etc/apache2/ for the httpd.conf files
/usr/sbin/ for both the apachectl and the httpd binaries
Although I'm able to get past where you are, and it seems to work correctly, Immediately upon adding a new site via server admin it all breaks. Coldfusion then will only work if I manually go to a cfm document. For example: http://example.com/ will give me the raw text from the (default index) index.cfm file. But typing http://example.com/index.cfm works.
I am lost here as well. After 4 hours on the phone with adobe support I would have hoped it would be an easy fix. I've completely nuked and reinstalled the server from scratch with the exact same results both times.
Does anyone have the slightest clue about what may be going on here?

NetInstall image not installing on Mac Pros from Snow Leopard server

Using the System Image Utility, I created a NetRestore image from the Mac Pro machine that was configured in the way that we wanted it (applications, etc.). I copied this image to the server (Server HD 3), and configured in Library/Netboot/NetBootSP0. The image is in Base Image.nbi, and I have NetBoot set up in serveradmin. I have this set up in the images tab in NetBoot:
Default is checked;
Image Name: Base Image;
Enable is checked;
Diskless is not (we're wanting to 'restore' this image on all 17 MacPros)
Index is 2323;
Arch is Intel;
Protocol is NFS.
Comment box info:
Storage Volume: Server HD 3
Kind: Mac OS X NetInstall (Intel)
Language: default
Description: NetRestore of Mac OS X 10.6.2 (10C2234) Volume.
Type: NFS.
When I go to one of the other computers, go through system preferences and select the "Base Image" to restart from, I get a gray screen; then the globe flashes, and then the machine will go to the local hard drive to start up.
The reason I went to a NetRestore image was because the system image utility would not create a netinstall (greyed out) from a volume.
Is there something I am missing here?

So glad its you Mr. Hoffman - your guides are most helpful - thank you so much for what you do.
I did some digging and found out that since im running CS4 and that it trys to run on 64 bit mode but my Lion system and most folks systems I guess are in 32 bit mode - i had to down load some 32 bit Adobe Unit Types from Adobe and replace the ones on my system - restart - and bingo - im no longer getting those errors - see this link where i found this work around:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/516/cpsid_51615.html
That fix cleared a lot of the junk that adobe was doing but i am still getting error 1101 - see below
11/26/11 2:36:37.298 PM opendirectoryd: peer appears to be running Mac OS X 10.6 or earlier
11/26/11 2:36:37.298 PM opendirectoryd: got error 1101
Any idea what this is ?

What are the minimum hardware requirements to install both MAC OS X Snow Leopard and Windows on a Mac

Hi,
I want to install both MAC OS X Snow Leopard and WINDOWS on a same PC. Is it possible..then mention the minimum Hardware support to install both Operating Systems on a PC. I am waiting for relevant reply from Apple Support Team.
Thank You.

I am waiting for relevant reply from Apple Support Team.
Then you'll be waiting a long time. This is a user to user support site hosted by Apple. The Apple Support Team doesn't respond to posts here.
For Snow Leopard, you need an Apple computer with an Intel processor of any flavor. Here are the specs from the Apple Store:
System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
You'd have to contact Microsoft to find out what specs its OS requires, but I imagine the above would cover it.
Also note that Snow Leopard is only licensed to run on Apple branded equipment.

New Installation for Mac Os X Snow Leopard Server

Hi,
I am new to mack sertvers. Any one know, can I install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on this Dell server?????
Link for Dell server: http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/poweredge-r710/pd

Given sufficient free disk and available memory (10 GB or more free disk, and 2 GB or more physical memory, respectively), most any desktop Intel Mac will work with Mac OS X Server 10.6 Snow Leopard Server. This per the Snow Leopard Server 10.6 Technical Specifications.
Laptops can also work, but are not supported AFAIK, and Mac OS X Server isn't particularly suited for laptops.
Apple sells packaged configurations based on Mac Mini (Mac Mini Server) and Mac Pro (Mac Pro Server).
The upcoming Lion Server requires specific Intel processors.

Creating a versatile DNS and redirection service on Snow Leopard Server

For the few of us who use Snow Leopard Server as a main DNS for our small network, the following is a workflow that I would like to share with the board for creating redirection services to not just sites found on the locally hosted apache but also external sites.
+IF you are adding a second domain name, the reverse domain lookup will not appear and you will need to add a Machine/A record with the fully qualified domain "domainname.com." (don't forget the . at the end) into the new zone and it will point to the "server" Machine/A record ip address.+
*DNS Portion* : (ServerAdmin > DNS > Zones >
Add Zone > Primary > Create a fully Qualified Domain name and dns "server" in the Machine / A Record
Create the (add Record > Alias/ CNAME) subdomain pointing to the server.domainname.com e.g. (library)
*Web / Apache Portion :*
Create a new site (ServerAdmin > Web > Sites > Plus button)
With General > host name exactly as spelled in above subdomain in full (library.domainname.com)
Select Web Folder where the site is hosted
If you are creating a redirection, create a folder on the server, add an index.php (with the script below)
Add Alias with the same subdomain as number 2
_PHP script :_
<?php
$location = "http://example.net";
header("Location: ".$location, "301 Moved Permanently");
?>
// Edit the "http://example.net" to which ever e.g. "http://apple.com"
_Alternatively you can also mask the page with :_
<html>
<head>
<title>Same Title As Your Homepage</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeTitle()
if (top.frames['main'].document.title)
top.document.title=top.frames['main'].document.title;
</script>
</head>
<frameset>
<frame name="main" src="http://actual-url.anotherhost.com/page.html"scrolling="auto" target="main" ONLOAD="changeTitle();">
<noframes>
<body>
Place a suitable message here for people with browsers that can't read frames.
</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>

Ok, local DNS services (unicast DNS) are typically straightforward to set up, very useful to have, and can be necessary for various modern network services, so I'm unsure why this is even particularly an open question. Which leads me to wonder what other factors might be under consideration here; of what I'm missing.
The Bonjour mDNS stuff is certainly very nice, too. But not everything around supports Bonjour, unfortunately.
As for being authoritative, the self-hosted out-of-the-box DNS server is authoritative for its own zone. That's how DNS works for this stuff.
And as for querying other DNS servers from that local DNS server (or, if you decide to reconfigure it and deploy and start using DNS services on your LAN), then that's how DNS servers work.
And yes, the caching of DNS responses both within the DNS clients and within the local DNS server is typical. This also means that there is need no references to ISP or other DNS servers on your LAN for frequent translations; no other caching servers and no other forwarding servers are required.

Help With boot camp installing on Mac Pro with a ATi Radeon x1900 card

I go throw the boot camp setup with setting my drive and burning the cd drives from mac os... So when I re start the computer and start installing.. My video card is not working... The screen is all chopped and bars running every were, so I can see what Im doing to install vista ... So how do I change this is their some upgrade with the video card and how do I do that
Im using this setup
I have a mac pro 3.0 8 core
ati radeon x1600
using boot camp 1.3
have vista untilamte
Thank You

I don't use Bootcamp/Parallels/Windows but I saw in the Bootcamp forums that someone solved this issue by going to the ATI site and downloading and installing the X1900 drivers for Windows (http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html). They had to do this while in Windows (which was difficult) do to the garbled screen but managed to suceed. Not sure why they didn't download the trial version of Parallels and do the same thing with an ungarbled screen.

Help needed with Emagic AMT8/Unitor8 and Logic 9.01 Snow Leopard

Hello
I have a strange problem here... I have an AMT8 connected via USB to my Mac Pro (directly, not via an USB-Hub) and 2 Unitor8s (one connected to the AMT8 and one to the first Unitor8).
I can see that the units communicate with each other, but when I open Logic Pro 9.0.1 there are only the first 8 Ports of the AMT8 available, the other 16 ports are greyed out). This happens using Snow Leopard. In Audio/Midi-Manager I can only see the AMT8 as well, although the unit name is AMT8/Unitor8).
When I go back to my other OS (10.5.8 with Logic Pro 8 latest version) all three units are working and I can see them in the Audio/Midi-Manager.
I reinstalled the AMT8-Drivers from the DVD (when I open the driver file it says V 2.2) but with no luck. So I know the units are working under 10.5.8 and Logic 8 but not under 10.6.1 with Logic 9.0.1.
I tried what was described in another topic (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10142376&#10142376) but it didn't change anything.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your help!

Hi
Thanks for the link. I tried it but with no luck.
But at the moment it seems to work. I copied the EmagicUSBMIDIDriver.plugin from my previous 10.5.8 system to my new system and now it works which is strange because both drivers had the same file-size and date. Well, I'll see how stable it is...
Thanks for your help!

1941w - Need help with IP address assigning, and relay wireless to a DHCP server.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction -
Basically have a Win08 R2 DHCP server, and a 1941w router.
I've got the internet, got the lan clients getting DHCP ok (with ip helper-address set on the 0/0 internal interface).
Also have the SSID, and wireless clients can connect - but no IPs are being handed out, also not sure if I understand or did the bridging correctly or assigned IPs to the vlan or bvi1 correctly.
for ex:
DHCP server IP:
10.10.2.4
Router Ethernet internal interface 0/0 IP:
10.10.2.1
with helper-address 10.10.2.4 (lan clients are resolving IPs correctly from the DHCP server)
Vlan1 IP address:
10.10.3.1
Does this interface need the helper-address as well? (10.10.2.4)?
wlan-ap 0 IP address:
unnumbered
interface BVI1 IP address (static):
10.10.2.2
am i totally off? not even sure if i have the vlan bridged to the 0/0 adapter or not correctly - but as I said, i can get a wireless client to connect with the SSID.
would appreciate any advice/pointers, thanks

of course - here is the router config:

Mac Mini /w Snow Leopard Server and Time Capsule: unavailable on www

Hello all,
Seeking some help with an issue that I cannot resolve and/or do not fully understand.
What I would like to achieve:
Make my newly purchased mac mini server available on the world wide web using my own web address, e.g. blabla.com.
Situation/Details:
I have installed and re-installed my mini server several times as I am doubt the correctness of the settings for the primary dns, currently set for 'blabla.com' and computer name 'miniserver'. The miniserver is connected with a network cable to my timecapsule and has been allocated the IP address 1.0.10.9 - time capsule has IP address '1.0.10.1'.
As the time capsule is connected to the internet - provided through Comcast - the following IP Address has been assigned '60.172.151.254' which seems to be my static external IP address. Furthermore I have a router address '60.172.148.1' for which I am unsure of its purpose.
Problem:
How do I 'link' my server to my www address so I can access deployed services over the internet? I have been reading about 'Port Forwarding', NAT etc but I am lost in what to do. Can someone help me out with this problem I am facing?
Thanks in advance for any comments/suggestions,
Tiest

Thanks DaddyPaycheck for your initial response. Before I jump onto the phone with Comcast couple of questions that I have for clarification purposes:
1) Are you implying that I must link my blabla.com address to that static IP address through my Domain Provider? See following example:
Record Type Record Host Record Answer TTL
A *.blablat.com >>Static IP<< 300
2) The current IP I have been given 60.172.151.254, why is that not static or how do you know it is not static?
3) When executing the command host in terminal for this IP address it returns the following: c-60-172-151-254.hsdl.co.comcast.net which coincidentally is the same as primary DNS it recommended during the initial configuration of the Mini Server. What does this mean? When I enter this in Safari it results in 'Safari can't connect to server'.
4) Executing the same command for my domain name 'blabla.com' it results in my 'internal' IP address '1.0.10.9'.
Thanks in advance for any clarification you can provide,
Tiest.

Flash Player Installed and not working for Snow Leopard

I recently installed Snow Leopard a couple days ago and everything seemed fine, but now tonight the flash player doesn't work. I use flash player for my homework for my Philosophy class and all of a sudden it doesn't work, I don't get it. I've installed, re-installed, updated, etc adobe flash player and my mac and nothings worked, I don't know whats going on. Please help.

Sorry, I know nothing about Mac OS; all I can do is point you to the troubleshooting page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html

Can I install Original Mac OS X Snow Leopard on my PC/laptop?

Same as my topic~

You can provided it meets certain criteria and you have the skills to run all sorts of black source software to do it.
Apple will not hold your hand and neither will we, although I likely would if I could, you'll just have to ask your question elsewhere sorry.
I can't tell you where, but if you look hard enough I'm sure you'll find what you looking for.
It's not easy to install and it's very risky.
It would be much MUCH easier to install a Linux clone that LOOKS LIKE OS X than it would be to install OS X on a PC laptop, even installing Linux isn't for the weak.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl-sIyRkXVo
But of course you don't have as much software choice as OS X and Windows, with Linux, but it's nearly all free and decent for the basics.

(tip: go the 10.10 upgrade to 11.04 route)
You can find out more about installing Linux at the Ubuntu forums (MacBuntu is just a desktop theme, like a shell)

Host website and email on my Snow Leopard Server

Hi. I have a customer who currently has a hosting company for his emails and website. He recently bought a Mac Leopard Server which I set up on the network which now he wants to host his web site (be a web server) as well as his own Mail Server (with his email addresses hosted himself). The ISP provides him with a static IP address, he has a registered domain name with GoDaddy. How do I go about providing this service to him on the Mac Server and what do i fill in as the default DNS name on the Server? Additionally what ports do I open on the ISP firewall and how and where do I store the website files for hosting the the website? I prefer not to host DNS on this Server as it is a small network how can I configure the MX record for this site then? Thanks.

This is not a trivial task. Getting a Mac to act as a web server is trivial, provided you either can do with the default settings or are capable of managing an Apache web server. However, making that available on the web in general and making it the server responsible for maintaining the company web site is another thing entirely.
First, a static IP address is not the same thing as a connection appropriate for a web server. Unless your client has paid for an internet connection that will allow such use, his ISP may very well cut him off as soon as they discover he's using it to run a server. Paying for such a connection will be much more expensive than just paying for a static IP address. And unless he's really paying a lot, the site will be slower than most web sites.
Similarly, he's going to have to pay for someone to be on call 24-7 to fix server issues. He'll also need to have backup hardware in case of hardware failure. For example, if the hard drive in the server dies, he may not be able to afford a few days' downtime while a new hard drive is bought, the old one replaced and all the software and data reinstalled/restored on the new drive. If the site is at all important, I wouldn't consider anything less than a second server kept entirely synced with the primary one so they can be swapped out at a moment's notice.
Honestly, given all the extra costs of running your own server, it's actually cheaper to just pay for hosting on a decent service provider. (GoDaddy is not one I would consider decent, so if he's having issues, switching hosts is probably the better option.)
Now, if he just wants a small, in-house server that won't be seeing much traffic, that's definitely possible. But, as already pointed out, that would be better discussed on the server forums. Although some folks here will have experience setting up a web server on a standard copy of Mac OS X, many/most of them have no experience with Mac OS X Server.

Mac Mini w/ snow leopard server, convert?

Can the above mentioned mac mini be reconfigured with regular snow leopard-no server? Having the extra hard drive would be nice as a dedicated HD for audio recording. I am assuming that Logic won't run on SL server version. Is is possible to wipe the both drives clean and use my snow leopard disk to do a fresh install

Help with how to read and write files to the applets server

I am writing a form that requires some data to be written serverside(not on the host machine) and I also need to be able to read from those same files.
Can anyone provide any help?
I looked into signing but it seems, to me, that signing is for when you are going to be modifying files on the host...

brianb7590 wrote:
Would I use that to refer to the file like I would with a regular application?Nope. It's pretty complicated. You've got to set something up on the server to accept requests, get all the data and then save files somewhere and on the client side you've got to make the connection and send the data.
