How do I fix my Lion Server Wiki?

On my Mac Mini with Lion Server when I visit the wiki it always says the server is down. How do I fix this?

How do I go about setting up my Lion server to download updates for my other workstations
Use Server Admin to turn on the Software Update Server. Give it a while to download all the updates. Done.
What do I need to do on the client side as well so that they can download from my OS X server
How do the clients connect to the server? Are they using central accounts via Open Directory? or are they local accounts on each machine.
If you're using Open Directory you can control the software update server via Workgroup Manager, otherwise you'll need to walk through each machine and update its software update configuration. Apple have a tech note that describes how to manually configure each client to use your server.

Has anyone got the Lion Server wiki to work?

I can get the Lion Server wiki to work on the default website, but cannot figure out how to get it to work on an additional website I have created in the Server app. Has anyone got this to work? If so, how do you do it? I imagine it has something to do with an alias or something in one of the conf files in /etc/apache2/sites, but cannot get past this. Thank you in advance for any guidance.

I finally relented and just put all of my website files in the /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default directory and got my wiki running off of my website properly at www.mydomainname.com/wiki. I am still looking for a way for having this wiki to run off of a website that is not stored in the Default directory if someone knows how to do that. It would also be nice to have several wikis served up (one per website, or even several per website) by the wiki server in the same way that more than one website can be served up by the web server. Anyway, the problem is solved for now.

How do I fix Mountain Lion issue after login where Keychain Access attempts to open, hanging up with "application not responding" message?

How do I fix Mountain Lion issue after login where Keychain Access attempts to open, hanging up with "application not responding" message?

You could try booting into Safe Mode to see if that will help. And "Repair Permissions" in Disk Utility.
Have you got Keychain set to open on Login or is it attempting to open on it's own.

How to keep Lion Server wiki service running in bootcamp windows?

I know this is a stupid question, but ...
I used to run mac mini server as the wiki & file sharing server within my team, and use vmware to load the win7 on the bootcamp partition to do some jobs which need M$ visual studio.
Now I have some new things to do with windows phone7, but unlike other simulators, windows phone7 is extremely slow if I run it in the vmware. I have to boot bootcamp and run the emulator natively, meanwhile I don't want to stop the Lion server especially the wiki services.
So the question comes:
Is there a way to migrate the existing Lion server contents to a Windows? Perhaps I need to setup windows+apache+mysql+php? It seems not a easy way.
Or anyway to boot the existing Lion partition in a windows virtual machine? Some tips? Many thanks!

Snow Leopard did the same if you used the GUI. I responded to you in your other thread. You can also simply use a different Apache. Use Macports to install your own apache, which can be managed via command line or webmin. Thus, the apple one deals with Apple stuff, and, yours deals with everything else.

Lion Server Wiki - Factory reset?

Folks
I have a new clean installed Lion Server on a Mac Mini.
I have been experimenting with the Wiki.
I now want to start again with a totally clean, new Wiki
Question - how do I do a 'Factory reset" to the Wiki?
I don't need to retain any information
I do not want to do a total Lion Server re-install...
Best regards
Brian

Well, that is a major bummer that they know about it, I was hopeful it was fixed in 10.7.2.
Super-Duper is a superb back-up utility that takes a complete snapshot of the drive at intervals you set. Perhaps for now, you can set it at every night, or run it before a reboot. If the data is gone, you can easily restore the entire drive, quickly.
So, to get you up and running, download a widget from apple's site that allows you to see hidden folders. It makes it easy to toggle hidden folders on and off. Just search "apple hidden file widget" and follow the link. The company / author is "Matt Hansen" and it is free.
Then, install the widget and activate it so you can see the hidden folders. You will now see the /var directory that Brian mentions above. While in that folder, you could replace out particular folders or files with the time machine copies. Maybe replace out all of the pgsql folders? I am not totally sure on that, but that is what I would do.
Giant caveat - I would run Super Duper beforehand, so that if you mess up some integral file, you can quickly and easily just make the drive like it was before you start restoring things.
When done, remember to go back to the widgets and turn off "show hidden file" so you cannot see them anymore.
Let us know what you end up doing so as to help others who may get hit with this. Also, as you may know, 10.7.3 is supposedly close to being released, so I have my fingers crossed that it will solve this issue.

How to sync to Snow Leopard Server wiki group calendar

I'm running the Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server in our law office of 8 attorneys. We all use PC's with Outlook 2010. We don't have Microsoft Exchange Server, and we bought the Snow Leopard Server because of its advertisement that you could achieve the same results on it as on Exchange Server, but without the cost. SOUNDS LIKE-------OH WELL. We want to be able to see everyone's calendar events on 1 calendar if possible. I setup a Group Wiki for the group "Attorneys". When I open that wiki, I've set it to be accessible by all attorneys in the group. When the attorneys accounts were setup in Workgroup Manager, the Attorneys group was also setup, and they have access to the group. I've been trying to figure out how to do this, and the result that seems to come closest is the Wiki Attorneys Group Calendar. I have setup separate calendars in it for each attorney. And so you can see them all on one screen, or deselect and only see the calendars you want. Now the problem is how do I get the existing events off of Outlook 2010 on each machine and into the respective calendars in the Group Wiki, and also update that calendar as events change on each attorney's Outlook calendar? If there is some better way to do this I'm certainly open for suggestions. I don't believe that you can "sync" the iCal client calendar with the Wiki Calendar. If you can that might also be a solution. Thanks.

I went to the AppStore and as I was running Snow Leopard Server it prompted me to purchase Lion Server which I didn't want.
Luckily, I wasn't asked to purchase the 'Server' when I upgraded from SLS to Mountain Lion via the AppStore. I think your particular problem was mentioned in some other posts where the upgrade path to Lion became an infinite loop (hmmm... ). But that's all in the past now. Glad it all worked.

How To Set Up Mountain Lion Server/Point DNS to Mac Mini Server

Hello, First of all I have no experience with setting up servers whatsoever. Below is what I have
- Mac Mini with Mountain Lion Server
- Time Capsule as my router
- Comcast as my service provider
My goal is to set up my MacMini as a sharepoint for files and other data with my other partners.
- I have purchased a domaine name from NetworkSolutions. Does this mean that they are my DNS hosting as well? Not really sure. My biggest question is how to point my DNS to my mac mini server correctly.
1. How do you point the DNS to my mac mini server.
2. I've read somewhere to use the IP address from my mac mini server. The only IP address I see is from my Time Capsule (router). I know what my public IP adress is but I am not sure if that's the one to use. I think once I figure this DNS thing I can figure out the rest.
Thanks - Need lots of help.

Here's a detailed write-up on setting up internal (private) DNS on OS X Server, and no, you're probably not going to be setting up external DNS on your servers. Your public DNS service will be hosted on and served from the Network Solutions DNS servers.

How can I make my Lion Server into a Lion Workstation?

How can I downgrade my Mac OS X Lion Server to just a standard Mac OS X Lion machine?
I've tried everything including re-installing Lion. When re-installing Lion, it seems to automatically pickup on the fact that this is a Server OS & installs Lion Server OS.
I want to simply downgrade my Lion machine to be running the standard Lion OS instead of Lion Server.
In case you're wondering, this is on my iMac 27" which I originally upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, then from Lion to Lion Server.

@Chris BeHanna
You were right for the firewall Issue. I was also running IPSecuritas and I installed Lion Server and the traffic stopped responding on the tunnel, although it connected well.
I figured out that, for some reason, even if the ServerAdmin indicated that the server firewall (my local "new" server, my own machine) was inactive, some rules must had been set during Server.app installation.
Anyway, what I did was activate the firewall, and then, allow all traffic on every ip. You can do that in the ServerAdmin app.
And then the traffic turned back on, on the IPSecuritas tunnels.
The next step would be to be configure rules precisely, but since I am already behind a firewall, I prefer using a "transparent" setting.

How do i configure my lion server to update my other workstations

I have a brand new Mac OS X Lion server. How do I go about setting up my Lion server to download updates for my other workstations (about 30). These workstations are mixed with Macbook Pros using 10.6 as well as some using 10.7, iMac's using 10.6 and 10.7 and Mac Pros using 10.7.
What do I need to do on the client side as well so that they can download from my OS X server. I have created a DNS entry for my OS X server in my DNS as well as a static IP.

How do I RE-Configure Lion Server?

So, i was playing with Lion Server, and had managed to Mail to recieve, but not send messages, and webmail sems to be all messed up.
How do i Re-run the Configuration for Lion server? It's a remote Mac Mini, so i am not able to be physically at the machine and wipe/rebuild it. I would like to do it all remotely if possible. Is there a way to wipe all the settings except network, IP, and remote acces, and reset it all up?
I could have sworn there was a configure utility in 10.5 that you could re-run to input the serial, set admin accounts and so forth.
The server is socialgraphics.com if it matters. I think i got DNS set up right, but the server is wonky, and i'd like to just reconfigure if possible
Thanks!

Hi Paul
You can still download Lion (and the Server App for Lion) from the App Store by calling Apple Sales (in the US this would be 1-800-692-7753) and paying for a redemption code. I think it's $20? I'm not sure what number you call outside of the US? Apple's Service & Support page may help?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
If I've understood your post correctly you may not have to do any of the above?
"I wish to put 10.7 on another device that does not support 10.8 but don't know how to do it?"
Assuming your existing 10.7 Server is still active why can't you target disk mode (over firewire) the device that does not support 10.8 and either use CarbonCopyCloner or use Disk Utility to restore? When you're happy migrate to 10.8.
HTH?

How to reinstall OS X Lion Server

I'm newbie os x admin . I bought new Mac Mini 2010 with Lion Server. I want to do RAID 0 with my HDD.
I make image for Recovery Partition. Then format partition and do RAID 0.
I setup with Mac OS X Lion 10.7 GM build 11A511
I success to install but .... No Lion Server.
I try to check Mac Store but I found I need to buy Lion Server License ?
These is my Question
1. Lion Server that pre-install with Mac Mini is not license version or not?
2. Should I restore from recovery partition and get Lion Server from them ?
3. How I make recovery DVD or anything that easy to reinstall ?
Thank You very much.

The 2010 Mac mini Server did not come with Lion Server, it was shipped with Snow Leopard Server. To go from Snow Leopard to Lion is a paid upgrade, not a free update. Up until Snow Leopard there was a SL client OS and a SL Server OS. Now Lion Server is an add-on purchase to the Lion client. So you must buy and install the Lion client, then the second step is to buy and install the Lion Server add-on. You purchase both Lion and Lion Server through the Mac App Store.

Lion Server: Wiki Disables Allow Override

Greetings All,
I setup my Lion Server (10.7.2) and set the web site to allow overrides, which works great. However, when I enable the Wiki service, it "disables" the htaccess directives and those directories for which I need indexing no longer appear. Instead, the wiki portal page appears. Any thoughts on what conf file I need to change to prevent the wiki service from ignoring the htaccess directives?

Found the answer myself. Removed the "/wiki/" parameter from the "DirectoryIndex" in the 0000_any_80_.conf file and the htaccess directives are working fine now.

Mountain Lion Server: Wiki and Profile Manager return 'Error Reading Settings'

Hi,
Have recently installed Mountain Lion Server (clean install) when I open the Server App I am constantly receiving the following error messages on various services inc. Wiki and the Profile Manager Service
After clicking on various other services that error message evolves into
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nvm, I managed to resolve this issue to a degree. The errors seem to occur if I copied and installed the Server.app from a windows network location where I had it stored. However if I downloaded and installed the Server.app from the App store the errors dod not occur.

How do I multi-home Lion Server

My Mac-Mini Lion server is using both the wired and wireless connections. I have two network connections available to the internet. However, one is significantly faster than the other. I want to use the wireless connection for the internet, and the wired connection for local lan traffic. I should mention that this server is on a combined Active Directory and Open Directory network. This is the only Mac server and is set up in the Golden Triangle configuration.
What I have done so far: configured both interfaces with static addresses, pointing at the respective routers. I should also point out that the slower connection to the internet goes through an authenticated proxy server, so unless that is configured, internet traffic will not work. The faster internet connection (my wireless connection) does not have that restriction.
I have already turned on the Software Update service for the Mac clients, made a group to update them, and bound the clients to both the Active Directory and Open Directory servers.
The final thing I did was to reorder the network connections in the Network Preference panel, so the wireless connection was at the top of the list. Until I did that, I could not browse the internet with Safari.
So, have I missed anything which would prevent the Lion Server from downloading Software Updates for the network through the wireless connection, while allowing the client macs to get their updates through the server's wired connection.

I had multiple IP's set on my server, which randomly seemed to switch. It seems like there is an incompatibility still between Server Admin and server.app. Since Apple is pressing developers to test server admin and server.app I am confident those problems will resolve eventually, but for now I have deleted all-but-1 IPv4 and 1 IPv6 address (same interface), the networking interface overview for my server within Server Admin was updated and it looks like it works solid now, this was not by design I presume, so this must be another bug plaguing Lion...
After upgrading Postgres to 9.1.3 and upgrading webmail (upgrade: usr/share/webmail) from www.roundcube.net, making a new site webmail.example.com with the files stored in /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/CustomSitesDefault/webmail/ I made a symbolic link from that 'directory' to the actual built in webmail facility found in /usr/share/webmail by entering the following in terminal.
ln -s -i /usr/share/webmail/ /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/CustomSitesDefault/webmail/
By doing this it will ask to remove a directory, if you didn't put any important files in there, which I presume you didn't, confirm with the letter y and press enter.
Webmail now works every time the way I want it
As does profile manager.

How to find backup on Lion Server time machine backup?

I have a MacBook laptop running Lion that has gotten automated Time Machine network backups by my Mac Mini running Lion Server. Had to do a reformat of the laptop and when I used Recovery HD from the laptop to find the laptop backup files on the server, I can't find them. I can find the server backup file, and the network version of time machine may bundle the laptop backup and mini backup in that file, but Recovery HD claims there are no valid backups.
Am I doing this the wrong way? Any help?

Just found it here:
