HEY! you server admins! maybe you can help me? (NNTP Server Questions)

Has anyone had any luck getting INN 2.4.3 to work with OSX/Darwin?
So here is the basic situation...
I want to get a NNTP server up and running, it only really has to function on my local network. I am using INN 1.4.3 and every thing seems to work fine, to a point, source downloads, .configure runs its task with no errors as does make. make install installs everything where it needs to go, I have the system logs setup, the news user and group are set up and working as well. I have my PATH and MANPATH set so that it all plays nice with my system, but I am at a point where I havereached the limit of my knowledge.
I think I am missing something in the post install / pre run configuration. its pretty complicated (or I am still just learning unix haha) but the default configuration seems to be alright but... when I:
Tomato:~ niko$ su - news -c /usr/local/news/bin/rc.news
terminal says:
Starting innd.
Scheduled start of /usr/local/news/bin/innwatch.
Tomato:~ niko$
but, console.app (console.log) says this:
Jan 16 16:55:53 Tomato su: niko to news on /dev/ttyp4
Jan 16 16:55:53 Tomato innd: SERVER cant freopen stdout to /usr/local/news/log/news: Bad file descriptor
I don't know what that means =/
when I:
Tomato:/usr/local/news/bin niko$ sudo sh inncheck
Terminal tells me this:
inncheck: line 6: require: command not found
inncheck: line 8: =: command not found
inncheck: line 9: =: command not found
inncheck: line 10: =: command not found
inncheck: line 12: =: command not found
inncheck: line 13: =: command not found
inncheck: line 17: syntax error near unexpected token `('
inncheck: line 17: `%paths = ('
So obviously something is not right, but I'm not exactly sure what to do with this information. I know that it is not running becouse if I try to stop it with:
Tomato:~ niko$ su - news -c '/usr/local/news/bin/rc.news stop'
terminal says:
Stopping innd: ctlinnd: no innd.pid file; did server die?
ctlinnd: cannot send "throttle" command (sendto failure): No such file or directory
ctlinnd: no innd.pid file; did server die?
ctlinnd: cannot send "shutdown" command (sendto failure): No such file or directory
Tomato:~ niko$
So I assume that its a configure error, but like I said. I dont know what to do with this information, So I am shareing it with all of you. This is just a project for my own education and curiosity but any help would be appreciated. If it only runs on my local network I will be happy, just so long as it runs.
Thanks for your help!

From looking at the bit below that you posted, it appears that 'inncheck' is a script of some sort. Have you checked out those line numbers, and the lines above them in this script. Where did you get this application? And what version is it?

I can't download Apps from the AppStore, there is always a the notice fail 1004.... Maybe Someone can help me? And maybe in German? Thx

Maybe Someone can help me.....

Man konnte sehen, wenn dieser Seite hilft. Ich habe auch gesehen zu erwähnen, dass Clearing-Safari-Cache (Einstellungen > Safari > Cookies löschen und Daten oder Clear Cache, und Klare Geschichte).
Auch dem Schließen der App Store-App und macht einen Reset helfen könnte. Um den App Store app komplett zu schließen: von derHome-Bildschirm (also nicht mit dem App Store 'open' auf dem Bildschirm)Doppelklick auf die Home-Taste, um in der Taskleiste, und halten Sie danneine der Apps auf der Taskleiste für ein paar Sekunden oder so, bis sieschüttelte starten, drücken Sie die '-' in der Spitze der App Store App linksum es zu schließen, und tippen Sie einen Teil des Bildschirms über der Taskleiste, um das Zittern zu stoppen und in der Nähe der Taskleiste .
Zum Entriegeln: Drücken und halten Sie beide den Schlaf und Home Buttons für 10 bis 15 Sekunden (ignorieren Sie die rote Schieberegler), nach der das Apple-Logo angezeigt werden soll - nicht verlieren, jeden Inhalt, es ist das iPad entspricht einem Neustart.
You could see if this page helps. I've also seen it mentioned that clearing Safari's cache (Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data or Clear Cache, and Clear History).
Also closing the App Store app and doing a reset might help. To close the App Store app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the App Store 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
To reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I saw a message "cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed". Anybody can help pls?

I saw a message "cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed". Anybody can help pls? I did try to delete the account and add back. Also tried to reset/ reboot the iPad but still effortless.

Hi all, I finally solved the issue. Here I wish to share with you all. First, I delete my hotmail account from mail account. Secondly I reboot my ipad2 with holding sleep and home button at once untill the apple logo is appeared. Then I add back the hotmail account. Done. Hope it helps. Thank you.

Using Server Admin with Leopard 10.5 (not the server version)

I have recently downloaded the Server Admin and would like to use the xgrid function. I am running Leopard 10.5 (not the server version). Is it possible to set up a server functions to use just xgrid with Server Admin and the Leopard 10.5 non server version system software. I want to set up a really small computer cluster between my macbook and imac. My problem is that I cannot seem to get a server started so I can select which functions I want to turn on (such as the xgrid). Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I tried several options from the link you suggested, by the xgrid lite seems to be for 10.4 Tiger. I have not been able to make it work for Leopard. Any suggestions?

Critical problem after update OS X Server 3.0,anyone can help me?

first of all,forgive me using the "critical problem".... corz I am totally crazy now...Before I update,OS X server 2.2 working on OS X 10.8,and everything works fine.
After I upgrade to OS X 10.9 Mavericks, the old server app shows "can not work". Ok.... I download the OS X Server 3.0 and upgrade with it.
After it,the server app going crazy....
Original Toggle On Services include:
Time Machine,VPN,wiki,Message,File sharing,Calendar,Address Book,Mail
DHCP,DNS,Open Directory
Now working ok Services include:
DHCP,DNS
Now Toggle On but got problems Services include:
Open Directory,File Sharing
Problem with service:
Open Directorory
     Toggle as on in server app,but seems my local network account was crash.
     any existing user login to server,the server ask them to change password,but the chage not worked. It was stuck on the "change password".When I directly changing the password in server app, its also no response.
     If I create a new accout,the mail adrees will not be auto fill,and when I click "Create", a error windows showed "existing connection is not authenticated: password change denied", and the server app go crash. Re open it , new account shows "not allowed" in the list.
Time Machine,Calendar,Address Book
     Can't Login.... seems because Open Directory
File Sharing
     Using a server local account was ok.Can not login as a "network account",if I using Open Directory account, it stucks on change password window.
Mail
     Just after I upgrade the server app , it shows "ON",but when I telnet port 110 or 25, no response. I guess maybe the devocot didn't Starting up. So I toggle it to off and on again, the status showing "stating...." and got no response...
I am totally crazy... seems the Open Directorory was crash,also the mail server was crash...
Can anybody help me solve these problem?

Here's what I discovered just a few hours ago.
I had created a new Mavericks Server install, done the migration wizard from 10.6.8 and got the same errors. "Existing connection is not authenticated. Password chage denied". Performed sudo touch /var/db/openldap/migration/.rekerberize, yada yada. Then I ran through the whole gamut of trouble shooting and norrowed it down to this:
Before starting, make an archive of your previous OD (SL or Lion). After doing the migration your users may not be there and you have to reimport the LDAP again, sometimes after step 2 below.
1. Double check your DNS service on the server you're building. Make sure any test DNS names and real DNS names have correct corresponding IP addresses. I used two so I could switch back and forth from names and IPs. Set your local DNS in the network control panel to 127.0.0.1 so its referrencing itself while you build.
2. Double check your host name under 'fileserver' and correct any errors. The local and domain have to match. example: fileserver.local, fileserver.my.domain.com. Verify all hostnames and IP address and make sure they match in DNS service. Use changeip command in terminal if you wish, but under 'Fileserver' in the 'Server.app' menu it works fine. After this you may need to re-import from your original server's LDAP archive.
3. Run the "touch" commands listed above.
4. Reboot.
5. Archive your directory again and name it for referrence. Save it to a flash drive so you can use it again if you need to rebuild later (you probably won't)
5. (here's the kicker) Turn off OD and look at your certificates in Server.app. Generate a new self-signed certificate and assign everything to that. You might need to stop OD to change its cert. Delete any expired or unused certificates. Rerun the touch commands and reboot (to be sure).
6. reimport from the LDAP archive you just saved.
6. Go through your users and edit server access. (trick, hold down the option key to turn them all on per user with a single click.s I was able to add users, edit users and connect on AFP and SMB.
After I did this it all worked, even adding users. I even did a fresh build of Mavericks server and was able to just import from the new LDAP archive with no issues.

Alex,
I have also seen this problem on Win 2K and also Linux. It is not because some other instance of the RI is already running, but because some other application or OS service is using TCP port Number 1050.
The J2EE RI does not depend on this port, however, there is a config file called orb.properties in the config subdirectory of your installation. In this file, you can change the port number to anything you like as long as it's free. I changed mine to 1051 and everything worked fine.

Stored Proc can't run psexec to remote server but SQLCMD mode can - help?

I'm really hoping someone can help with my Access Denied issue issuing an xp_cmdshell "psexec" that otherwise works in SQLCMD Mode and the command line. Any help would really be appreciated.
The setup:
Server 1.1.1.1:
I have a db MYDB (trustworthy, I'm an admin logging in using Windows Authentication)
I have psexec (running as admin, "everyone" has full-control from G:\
Server 1.1.2.1:
I have application ABC.exe (again, running as admin, "everyone" has full-control) on E:\Program Files
The problem
I can start ABC.exe from      1.1.1.1 from my command prompt for my user:
psexec.exe
\\1.1.2.1 -d -u DOMAIN\USER -p PASSWORD
"E:\Program Files\ABC.exe" /accepteula
I can start ABC.exe from      1.1.1.1 from SSMS using the SQLCMD Mode:
!!G:\psexec.exe
\\1.1.2.1 -d -u DOMAIN\USER -p PASSWORD
"E:\Program Files\ABC.exe" /accepteula
I
cannot get the command to run by      calling it from
a stored procedure or trigger:
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'G:\psexec.exe
\\1.1.2.1 -d -u DOMAIN\USER -p PASSWORD
"E:\Program Files\ABC.exe" /accepteula'
I
cannot get ABC.exe to start on the      remote machine
by putting in the working command from #1 above into a batch file and calling that, either!
Thanks in advance,
Dave

OK, thanks.
MORE INFORMATION: SQL is SQL 2012, two machines are WINDOWS SERVER 2012
I realize I'm probably treading in dangerous waters here, but I try to set the xp_cmdshell proxy account to two different users and I'm getting different results.
Here's my two blocks of sql code:
GRANT EXECUTE ON xp_cmdshell TO [DOMAIN\user1]
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'whoami'
EXEC sp_xp_cmdshell_proxy_account 'DOMAIN\user1','pwd1'
EXECUTE AS login = 'DOMAIN\user1'
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'whoami'
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'G:\psexec.exe \\1.1.2.1 DOMAIN\user1 -p pwd1 "E:\Program Files\ABC.exe" /accepteula'
REVERT
GRANT EXECUTE ON xp_cmdshell TO [DOMAIN\user2]
exec xp_cmdshell 'whoami'
EXEC sp_xp_cmdshell_proxy_account 'DOMAIN\user2','pwd2'
EXECUTE AS login = 'DOMAIN\user2'
exec xp_cmdshell 'whoami'
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'G:\psexec.exe \\1.1.2.1 DOMAIN\user2 -p pwd2 "E:\Program Files\ABC.exe" /accepteula'
REVERT
And the results are (1) unexpected in terms of who the cmdshell user is and (2) the two executions are different failures:
Results from ALL the exec xp_cmdhell 'whoami' is DOMAIN\user3!
And the two different outputs (after both "Access is denied.") are
1 - Connecting to 1.1.2.1 ...
Connecting to 1.1.2.1 ...
Couldn't access 1.1.2.1 :
and
2-Connecting to 1.1.2.1 ...
Connecting to 1.1.2.1 ...
Starting PsExec service on 1.1.2.1 ...
Could not start PsExec service on 1.1.2.1 :
I'm sure there's a clue in this output somewhere, it's just evading me. I'm guessing there's something missing on the remote machine's security, but....

Im new to java and hope somebody can help me with my question

Hi!
Im quite new to java and I just have some simple questions..
can someone please tell what kinds of error are considered as language violation for java? where can I find more info about these errors?
can someone give me a simple example on a kind of error that cannot be caught in both compilation and runtime? I hope someone can help me out. Thanks in advance!!

Im just asking about errors that might go against the language definition but cant be detected.. If it "goes against the language defintion," it will be detected by the compiler. That's half of the compiler's job is to tell you what you've done that violates the language spec.
because it confuses me when they say that such errors might occur so I just want to know what might these errors be.. sorry for that..Who's "they"? What exactly* did "they" say about "such errors"? It sounds to me like you're just confused, and you think there's something mysterious and inexplicable going on but you don't know what and don't even know what you're asking.
I would suggest not worrying about hypothetical problems that you can't even put into words and focussing on learning Java. Along the way, if you encounter real, specific, actual problems, ask about them, and you'll probably get answers about the problems themselves and the language or theory behind them.

Server Admin 10.5.6 v 1.1 - Server Admin and WGM

The server admin is clunky and delays of 3 minutes plus to save a new user or delete an old one.
I have updated on all 4 of my servers but on each of them the About Server Admin reports it as v 10.5.3 and the About WGM reports it a v 10.5.5
Is there something else to be done.
Cheers,
Syd Chesson

Server Admin and WGM tend to be very slow when DNS forward/reverse resolution is not in place or incorrect. Have you checked that?

dear wyodor, I thought that I explained my problem all right in my post? well,
when I put a logo in the corner of my site -in my case a jpg file with some text, it looks good in iweb, but after publishing its not possible to read the small text because of the way iweb compress photos - my question is -can I do anything to keep the jpeg-compression i made i photoshop? Is there no way in iweb to control the compression? Its really frustrating -and the only really problem I have with iweb

Workgroup Manager and Server Admin 10.5 - Use to manage Tiger Server?

Is it possible to use Workgroup Manager and Server Admin 10.5 running on Leopard Client to administer Tiger Server?

I'm having major problems with server tools managing my 10.4.11 server. I'm finding that at least with the web management tools, I cannot make any changes to the 10.4 server Sites. To make matters worse, I cannot install 10.4 tools to get back that functionality.

Solved my iPhone 5 Battery Problems: Maybe it can help you!

Hi every one, I saw many topics regarding battery problems with the iPhone 5. I responded to one discussion describing what I did to solve the iPhone 5 battery dying fast on me. So I thought I'd make a discussion here to help out other users with the same problem.
I would have 25-30% drop with in the hour and all I did was text a couple of my friends. I was using an iPhone 4 for the longest time, and on that phone I was able to watch videos, listen to music and use all the other features of the phone. The battery still lasted me the whole day, I was getting worried that I wouldn't be able to use the iPhone 5 the same with out it dying on me fast.
My friend suggested draining the battery and then charging the phone to see if any improvements were seen. I did that and I saw a small change in the battery strength. I drained the battery two more times, and that is when I saw a huge difference.
I use my Phone as my iPod when I work out, and I run continuous music on it for 1.5-2 hours straight, along with sending texts to my friends. In this duration I would only use 15-20% which was a huge improvement from before. I would say that the battery life was on par with my iPhone 4 battery! It is such a relief, now I can use my iPhone 5 to it's fullest potential without having to worry it'll die on me fast.
I recommend other iPhone 5 users try draining their batteries a couple of times before charging as well if they are experiencing problems.
Hope this helps!
Dylan

I would let the battery completely die before I would charge it again. I would keep 3g off and only turn it on if I'm going to use it and turn it off again. Because the phone uses more power for the 3g/4g that the battery dies even faster.
I text a lot to friends so I'm constantly texting through out the day and when I work out continously run music on it for close to 2hours. It would only drain 15-20% of the battery, which really is a huge improvement.
I also use Siri quite often through wifi and it barely uses any battery power. Try letting the phone die until it turns off a couple of times before you charge it. That is what I did before a friend requested doing that after I was getting fraustrated with the battery power.

Having a major problem in windows...maybe someone can help?

I normally wouldn't ask a windows question here, but I don't know where to turn for this one.
My Macbook is less than a month old, base model. I'm running Windows XP home. I keep getting a windows stop error, and can't for the life of me figure out why. I'm getting stop error 000000ea, which is "THREADSTUCK_IN_DEVICEDRIVER". I've tried all the standard stuff, reinstalling programs, operating systems, drivers...you name it. I've tried the latest drivers...older drivers...you name it. This is my second Macbook, and while my first one had some major issues, it wasn't doing this, and I'm not doing anything different. It hasn't acted funny in Leopard, but the fact that it's frequently doing it in Windows...which I kind of need to run...is quite worrysome. I'm told it's either a hardware problem, or a driver problem. Specifically this happens when I'm playing games, but I'm not running anything that would really push the system's limits. It's done it while not running games, though, so I'm not ready to blame that. I upgraded the RAM to 2gb of Corsair RAM, and have since ran a good number of RAM tests to make sure there isn't a problem with one of the sticks. That's grasping at straws, though, just assuming that since video ram is shared that maybe it could be connected. This is a brand new machine, and I'm barely past my 2 week exhange period...I really hope this isn't a hardware problem.

Hi,
That Windows stop code indicates that video hardware is being initialized, but never achieves a state of readiness, thus the thread executing the driver code never returns to the calling process.
I looked on www.techbible.com, and they suggest a problem with the hardware is a probable cause. Of course, it could be due to an incorrect driver too. See if you can start Windows in safe mode or VGA mode. The older MacBooks have GMA-950 video, while newer MacBooks have X3100 video. Be sure you're installing the right driver. Be sure the MacBook EFI and SMC code is up to date too.
I'm running Vista on a GMA-950 MacBook, and Vista pretty much detected all the Mac hardware, except for the iSight camera. Since XP is older, it definitely needs the Boot Camp driver disc for many hardware drivers.
