How to enable RewriteLog in Apache on OSX Server 4

Hi,
I'm having a hard time trying to enable RewriteLog in OS X Server 4 configuration file. It simply makes the server not responding after configuration files change.
I want to put these lines:
RewriteLog "/var/log/apache2/rewrite_log"
RewriteLogLevel 3
I tried to put these in different locations like in:
/Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/sites/0000_any_80_.conf
or in
/Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf
And in the host config but it doesn't work.
I touched and changed the mode of the file /var/log/apache2/rewrite_log to 777 in case ... still not working
As soon as I put theses lines the web server seems to be crashed even though it states to be restarted with a green light on the UI.
'serveradmin status web' reports it to be running.
Now if I remove the 2 lines and restart the server the server responds again to http requests but I have no debug log of the rewrite rules.
It looks like the apache config is not well parsed or something. 'serveradmin settings web' does not mention the RewriteLog path.
So what should I do to have RewriteLog working in OS X Server?
Thanks for any help.

Ok so I make this reply to myself for anyone who could encounter the same issue.
Server 4.0 comes bundled with Apache 2.4.9 and since 2.4 the mod_rewrite logging config is now a bit different, thus, the RewriteLog* statements are not recognized anymore by apache. The correct syntax is for example:
LogLevel alert rewrite:trace3
The files to put this on are the ones I mentioned in my post.
One last side note, it would be very handy to be able to do a syntax check of the apache conf like with 'apachectl -S' on the server. But I've not found how one would do that with serveradmin. If anyone knows I'd be very pleased to know how.

How to Enable Lync Windowphone agent on Lync Server 2010 ?

Can you please elaborate. Do you mean to enable a Lync user to use the Lync Mobile Client for Windows mobile devices in a Lync 2010 environment?
If so, in Lync 2010 there is no special enable setup other than allow the user to have remote access. Of course the MCX service needs to be working.
Look forward to more details

How to create global Contact list using OSX Server Contacts Service?

My goal is to create a global contact list for the use of my department at work. We currently have 5 MBP's and a Mac Mini Server running OSX Server.
I have read so many forum posts and so called "solutions" that my head is completly spinning... like a record... right round... you get the idea.
I talked with Apple Support, and they are going to walk me through the process of changing our network from "local" to a legitimate internet network. Enabling DNS and setting up open directory are some of the steps, and all in all i was impressed with the support i received. We did a complete walkthough of all the steps it would take to change everything, without actually making any changes (because I could not shut down the company server at the time I called).
All that being said, I have been reading that actually creating and sharing a global contact list (and enabling specific user access for read/write for said list) is not as simple as Apple is telling me. I have read so many horror stories about not being able to edit the list, having duplicate lists and entries, and many other problems. It seems that this "Contact Service" is not really what its billed as.
Im just looking for someone who has this already setup to shine some light on my questions/concerns. I have scoured the internet for information, and either i'm looking in the wrong place or I just happen to have the WORST possible combination of OS X versions, server versions and so on. I would expect a company who charges such high prices for its products to design them to ACTUALLY WORK how they are advertised to work!
Thanks in advance and a thousand kudos to anybody that can help!!!
-John

That sounds like one viable option...
The only problem is that I'm not sure how that would behave once the client MBP's are taken off site and connect to the network over a VPN or something of that sort.
I figure since we have purchased the Server App and it contains the Contacts Service, I should try and get it to work that way (through that specific service on the server app).
I would really prefer to not have to install yet another piece of software just to do something that should already work (or have the ability to be configured to work). None of us here are "Power Users", and we are all learning as we go and I got the role of the "IT Guy" when it comes to setting everything up. I'm dealing with lifetime Windows users here, and I feel there is a need to keep everything literally as easy as possible to use.
I will keep your solution in the front of my mind though, as it sounds like that may work. I am not exactly 100% familiar with the OSX Server or the Mac OS yet, and I'm not positive where you would add the users (I couldn't just sit down and do what you suggested, i unfortunately would need a step by step solution so I don't fuss up our entire system).
If you feel like giving a step by step, that would be awesome just for future reference or for anyone else having similar problems. If not, I don't blame you at all.
Thanks for your reply, and if I find a clear-cut solution I will post it here!

How do I re-install my Mac OSX Server from scratch

Hi,
I have purchased two MacMini Servers with 10.6 OSX Server software pre-installed.
I have changed the organization as our company name changed and run into license issues.
I want to re-install the Mac OSX Server software and start from scratch. How do I go about this. I tried yesterday for many hours to do so and the new installs are still running into duplicate license issues and other issues. What is the best approach to do re-install? I am willing to erase the internal Hard Disk and boot (with an external DVD optical drive) if that is the best way to go. What are the steps?
I have the original CDs or DVDs and have extra, external hard disks to do a Time Machine backup, etc.
Thanks,
Don

If you are looking to do a nuke and pave of the system, and you have an external optical drive, then yes, that is likely the most direct method. Connect the optical drive, insert the installation DVD, and reboot the system targeting the optical disk as the boot volume (you can do this by holding down the C key or the Option key during startup).
Now, if you do not have an optical drive, you can put the installation disk into another Mac running 10.6 and use the Remote Install Mac OS X application in your Utilities folder.
Hope this helps

How we set up multiple websites on OSX Server

BACKGROUND
After fiddling and futzing around for weeks (actually since last year) I've finally figured out how to set up multiple websites (virtual sites) using one port and one IP address. While there seems to be lots of discussion on this topic, it seems that the basic assumption is that one knows everything about websites, DNS and all that stuff, which I do not.
When our network was originally established the engineer set up a wiki and also configured webmail, so we had two sites, one secured for mail and the other open for Calendar and the wiki. We were not hosting any websites locally because our school website is hosted by a company in New England.
This year I wanted to set up websites for teachers and students. As great as the wiki is, there are some things it just can't do as well as a website. So I figured if I set up the sites teachers could link back and forth from one to the other. In addition kids could now start to use a real website instead of the cobbled together file mess I had when we ran a Windows network. Also iWeb is a much more accessible tool than FrontPage.
SERVER SIDE:
Snow Leopard Server - 10.6.4
There are two - actually three pieces if you want your iWeb clients to connect to the server: Server Side Web Services, DNS and, in my case, FTP.
================================================ SERVER SIDE - WEB SERVICES
If you haven't turned on Web services, you'll need to open Server Admin and do that. If you don't know how to set up web services - just reply and I'll step you through that as well.
Once web services are set up and turned on, you'll see it listed under your server’s name in the Server Admin sidebar. Click on "Web" and then click on the "Sites" tab at the top of page. This is where you list all your sites.
Click the plus button and enter the fully qualified name of your site, for example: "students.myschool.org". Don't use the defaults here (no name) - that's what got me in trouble before. BE SPECIFIC!
You'll be looking at the "General" tab (the other tabs, "Options", "Realms", etc. we'll deal with in a second).
On the "General Tab", the default IP address ("any") and port (80) is just fine. We'll run everything over port 80. (Apache figures all the virtual site stuff out - you don't need your rocket science degree for that.)
"Web Folder:" is important because this is how you'll "segment" your websites. While I would NEVER do this again, we have a solid state hard drive for the OS and a RAID array for our data files. IF you have that, make sure you do NOT use the default "Web Folder" because it will store all your files on your solid state drive. There may not be enough room, over time, on that drive. I've not experienced it yet, but it's my understanding that if the drive fills up, the server shuts down.
I store my web sites on a folder on the RAID array.
Everything else on that tab can be left as the default. (Just make sure that you have an "index.html" or "index.php" file in your web folder root, but iWeb will take care of that for you.)
I would put in your email address in the "Administrator Email:" field.
Under "Options" you really don't have to put anything. I've tested making websites with iWeb and it doesn't appear that anything needs to be checked.
Nothing needs to be entered in "Realms" as well from what I see working w/ iWeb.
The defaults in "Logging" are fine.
You can leave "Security" alone, but we do have a (self-issued) certificate listed for our webmail site.
"Aliases" is important. Under "Web Server Aliases" you enter how you want the site to respond to when users type in a URL in their web browsers.
When our web server was initially set up the engineer set up "wiki.myschool.org" on port 80 and "mail.myschool.org" on port 443. In the aliases section was nothing but a "*" (the wildcard character). That means, from what I can figure out, that the webserver will respond to these sites regardless of what is typed in the URL. (Well, something like that - point is, if you create OTHER websites, you'll NEVER get to them because the wildcard character in the "Aliases" section, in effect, grabs those web requests and redirects them to the sites that are already there.
In my case I deleted both of those wild card characters. For my "wiki.myschool.org" site, I entered "mail.myschool.org". That means if you type EITHER "wiki." or "mail.", go to the site that’s stored in the “Web Folder” we set up when those sites were created.
For "mail.myschool.org" I just DELETED the wildcard character. I wanted that site (since it was secured) only to respond to "mail." - nothing else. (You're not going to that secured site for any other reason than to get your mail.)
"Proxy" can be left blank. Have no idea what that does. As time permits I'll do some research and figure out what it's used for.
"Web Services" is if you want to provide any MORE services to this particular site. Most likely you'll want to uncheck all the boxes. For our "wiki." site, we have checked "Wikis", "Blogs", and "Calendar". For our "mail." site we have those checked PLUS "Mail".
I would create a separate "Web Folder" for each of your sites. I don't know if that's a requirement but for housekeeping purposes, I would keep the sites separated. And I SUSPECT that it's "best practice" to separate your wiki from your other websites.
SERVER SIDE - DNS
OK...now you have to make your site reachable and the only way to do that is to set up DNS so that folks don't need to type in the IP address of your web server. You need to set up DNS inside your network and, if you want folks in the outside world to reach your website, you'll need to set up an external DNS as well. I'm going to cover INTERNAL DNS - if you don't know how to set up EXTERNAL DNS - reply or email me and I'll post those instructions.
Most likely you have already created Zones for you network...all you really need to do is create "Aliases" so that when you type "students.myschool.org" your web browser will know that site resides on IP address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.
If you've set up Zones then you already have a "Machine" setting that translates your server’s name to an IP address and vice versa.
All you need to do is create an "Alias" (CNAME) record for, in this case, "students". You’ll see the choices for types of records when you click the "Add Record" button.
There are only two fields to configure for a record: "Alias Name" - in this case "students" and "Destination" - in this case "servername.myschool.org". (You've already entered a machine record that says "servername" = 192.168.1.x.)
That's it for Internal DNS.
SERVER SIDE - FTP
Now you have to get iWeb to communicate with the webserver.
There are only three ways iWeb will communicate with webservers: MobileMe, Local Folder and FTP Server.
Local Folder is really only practical if you want to host a website on a laptop (I was blown away initially when I found out that all Macs had a built-in web server - how neat is that?). I think there are some very cool things teachers could do with configuration, and, of course, you wouldn't need to set up any web services on the web server, but that's for another discussion. You need to set up FTP services on the web server.
Turn on and enable FTP on your webserver.
You can leave the defaults for "General", "Messages" and "Logging". "Advanced" is the only thing you want to set. I set "Authenticated Users See:" to "Home Folder Only". I set the "FTP Root" to the same root folder in which I plan to store my web sites (/VOLUMES/RAID Array/WebServer/Documents). This setting sets that folder only to be accessible via FTP.
I would suggest returning to your DNS settings and adding one more "Alias". Set "ftp." to point to your webserver. Why? So folks can edit their sites from home (see below).
CAVEAT: If you are running FTP on other servers, make sure that the settings here do not conflict with the settings on the other servers. For example, I'm running FTP on my file server so that my scanners can communicate with it. However, I configure my FTP settings by machine name and NOT "ftp.myschool.org".
================================================
CLIENT SIDE - CONFIGURING iWEB
Now you have to configure iWeb so that it will communicate with your server.
Click on the "Site" icon so that "Site Publishing Settings" appears.
Publishing:
"Publish to:" = "FTP Server"
You can set the "Site name:" and "Contact email:" to whatever you want. But see below!
FTP Server Settings:
"Server address"=ftp.myschool.org (you could also enter in servername.myschool.org or the IP address. However, if you want folks to be able to work on the site from home, you will need to configure external DNS for that. If you use the IP address, you're out of luck for remote access to the site. (You can do it but it's beyond the scope of this discussion.)
"Username" & "Password" should be your user's network login credentials.
"Directory/Path" - this is important. Remember, you set your "FTP Root" to be "/VOLUMES/RAID Array/WebServer/Documents". If you leave this field blank then the website will be dumped into this folder. If you are only setting up one site, that may be OK. However I wanted to set up a "students" site folder, a "faculty" site folder and a separate site for our literary magazine.
THEREFORE: I have, in my ..../Documents folder (on the server), a "students" folder, a "faculty" folder, and a "litmag" folder.
SO...in my "Directory/Path:" field, I have "/faculty". That means the full path to this website is "ftp root/faculty" or "/VOLUMES/RAID Array/WebServer/Documents/faculty" (You don't need a trailing "/" character. iWeb will automatically append the folder for you user depending on what you entered in "Site Name:" in the "Publishing" area.
Website URL:
This is the root website depending on whether it is "students" or "faculty". Since iWeb will append the site name to this root website, I accomplished what I hoped to accomplish in this post (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12288561#12288561).
Faculty sites will be @ http://faculty.myschool.org/username. Students @ http://students.myschool.org/username. PERFECT!
iWeb is such a GREAT tool - NOW the kids can start using it!
I want to reiterate that this works for our school but it should work for you as well. There may be better ways to do this but it works for us.
Hope this has been helpful and you won't have to spend weeks trying to figure this all out by yourself!

OK...here's how we did it.
To get access to the website you created from outside your network there are a couple of steps.
First, you have to have a STATIC IP address from your ISP. If you have a T1 circuit, no problem...you usually get a couple of static IPs you can use. However, if you have a cable modem circuit, most likely you have a dynamic IP address which changes when you connect to the internet. Usually a static IP will cost a bit more because the ISP has to go through a couple of steps to set it up for you. But once you have the address, you now have a way for folks outside your network to connect with you.
(I’m also assuming that you use a router of some sort through which traffic flows out to the internet and that you aren’t using connection sharing or something like that.)
The next thing you need to do is have your new static IP address associated with the server on which you are hosting your website. You've probably already done that if your website works inside your network. However, you've associated a private ip (192.168.x.x, etc.) to your web server. That doesn't mean anything to folks on the outside because private IP addresses are just that - private - folks can't access them. (I won't get into VPN because that's a whole other topic.)
The way you associate your new static IP address to your web server is through some sort of dns application from your ISP. For example, we use TierraNet to manage our external DNS information. They have a web interface control panel that is very similar to the DNS interface for XServer. You can create CNAME records (aliases - other ways that folks can access your servers).
Basically you create an "A" (CNAME) record with a fully qualified domain name (e.g. webserver.myschool.org) and point it to your public IP address (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) which you just got from your ISP. It's going to take a while (24-48 hours) for this change to take effect. BTW, you can create as many “A” records as you want. For example mail.myschool.com and wiki.myschool.com could point to the same place.
You want to make sure that the fully qualified domain name you enter in the external dns utility matches the name you used when you created your internal dns records on your XServer.
OK...so now folks can get to your domain - but, remember, you have a private network IP scheme between them and you. You now have to tell your router that when web traffic arrives, allow it inside the network and direct it to your web server.
Let's say your public IP address is 205.100.112.50 and your web server is 192.168.0.5.
You have to create, in your router’s "Security Zone" (router companies call them different things) a couple of rules. Usually the first rule is: "Let everything inside the network get out to the web." You've probably already done that if folks inside the network can reach the internet.
You then have to tell the router to allow web traffic (port 80) into your network AND redirect that traffic to 192.168.0.5.
We use AdTran routers and they have a web interface which allows you to write "rules" affecting public and private traffic. Public is folks outside the network, private is folks inside.
AdTran calls them "Security Zones" and you modify those zones with policies.
So my "Policy" would say, in the above example, redirect traffic from my public IP (205.100.112.50) -> to my web server -> (192.168.0.5).
THEN you have to modify this policy with what AdTran calls "Traffic Selectors". You've said, OK, you can get in, but WHAT can get in?
The "Traffic Selector" is written to say: "Permit" "TCP" traffic from 205.100.112.50 only through Port 80. (That's the port that web traffic goes over. If you wanted a secure website, you'd add another traffic selector that opens port 443, for example.)
I'll tell you I'm no genius when it comes to this. I called AdTran and had them configure my router for me. I told them what I wanted done, they remoted into the router and configured it. But then I could go to the web interface and see what they did and then added rules later on when I wanted, for example, to get access to the network via Apple Remote Desktop or VPN into the network on my iPad.
I'd bet that your router has a maintenance agreement that includes this service and if it doesn't it should have.
I did find that I still had issues when I tried to set this up originally and it had to do with the ORDER of the policies. I can’t remember exactly what the issue was, but, effectively one of the policies highjacked traffic before the policy that I wanted got triggered. Simply moving them around in the list fixed that issue. So if you have this set up but still can’t access the site, check the order of your rules.
I don’t know if that helps or not, but I try to think about this stuff conceptually and then get someone to help me with the details. I work with this stuff so infrequently that I forgot how I did something 6 months or a year ago. I’m in the process of creating a wiki for the school which documents all this stuff, but that’s a major undertaking.
Cheers,
John

How to Enable XMP in BIOS of TS140 Server 70A4 00HUX

I installed 4X8GB DIMM's pc3-12800 ddr3-1600 in a TS 140.   I am running Win 7 64-bit Pro OS to use it as a HTPC/Media Server.   The WEI should be maxed out but it is only 7.4.   I was checking other sites which suggest that the clock speed may be set to 1333MHz instead of the 1600MHz that these DIMM's are capable of.
I checked the BIOS and there are no settings which will enable Intel XMP or allow me to manually set the clock speed or timing for these DIMM's.
Can someone tell me how/where to access and change this in the BiOS?   I have a 70A4 00HUX model

Quote from: rp00 on 03-June-15, 22:47:43
but if you set your mem settings to auto, it should pick up 1866 speed from SPD
Check with CPU-Z
Such is not possible. Programmed SPD settings to be used depend on the abilities of the memory controller (here means the cpu) used. The maximum specified memory support of an i7 4790K is DDR3 and DDR3L 1333/1600 (http://ark.intel.com/products/80807/Intel-Core-i7-4790K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_40-GHz). It is therefor impossible to run memory without an XMP extension (like the Fury sticks) on the platform in question above ddr3 1600 without setting speeds and timings manually.

do it?
Have you installed the PHP apache module if not you can download a prebuilt package that works with tiger.
http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/
Once installed put your PHP file inside your webserver directory and point your favourite webbrowser to it.
e.g.

Stat failure is caused when either Fastcgistub or app-path is not accessible.
Is "Fastcgistub" executable too in /i03_01/SUNWebSP6/bin directory ? If not, then copy it to that directory. Make sure it has exec permission.
Do you see Fastcgistub process ? If yes, then check the app-path (/i03_01/php-fcgi/bin/php). Is it accessible ?
And also, check "Fastcgistub.log" file under <webserver-temp-dir> directory for any error msgs.

How does some of the features on OSX Server Work?

So I'm completely lost, how does the VPN and Mail features work? I created a mail server but what does it do? And how do I configure it? I know how to configure VPN but what does it do and how does it work? Does it allow users to connect to the server? I'm totally lost but I'm setting up a little business and I know it's vital.

So I can determine if you really need either right now. If you have a little business something like google docs and gmail / commercial email hosting is all you need right now. Learn how to use the server on the side and when you feel more comfortable with using it move over to using the server. There is plenty of documentation on both mail and vpn out there...."the server for everyone" still means you have to read up on the material.

How to remove computer from OD in OSX server 4

I am trying to bind a machine to my OD server that was previously bound but had problems. When I try to rebind, it gives me an error that the computer already exists in the directory. When I click to overwrite this entry, it gives me the error saying that an error occurred while attempting to bind.
How do I remove this computer entry now that workgroup manager isn't part of server?

You can remove machine record by using Directory Utility. This can be launched from Server.app's Tools menu.

How to get ARD to control xserve osx server 10.5?

can anyone tell me what you have to enable so you can control server with ARD?

Hi
On the Server go to System Preferences > Sharing > Remote Management. Untick Screen Sharing. If Remote Login (SSH) is ticked, untick it. Unless of course you are aware of the potential security risk inherent with this. If you are leave it on.
Install ARD on another mac - the one you are using for example. Launch it, supply the serial number. Don't bother with a task server (this might be a step too far for you at this stage). Create an admin name and password (I suggest admin and admin - keeps it simple that way) and you should be looking at the ARD main window.
By default and the first time it's launched it will scan the network using Bonjour. You can select this and change it to Local Network. Either one will do. Explore the interface to see what it does. There is a fairly useful online Help available as well. You could also consult the ARD Forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1007
By now you should 'see' your server or at the least its IP Address - which you should know? Select it and then select Control. You'll be prompted to enter the Server's admin account details (username and password). Once you supply these you should now be looking at the Server's Desktop. If your client mac is Leopard you don't even need to use ARD. You should be able to 'discover' the Server in the Shared part of the Finder's Sidebar. You should see an option to Share Screen. Clicking on this will present you with a login window. Again supply the server's admin name and password.
Finally you can vnc to the Server using a web browser. Safari would do, but you can use any other browser if you wish. In the url key in vnc://IPaddressofyourserver. You'll know you've been successful when you see the login prompt. Again supply the server's admin name and password.

Can I use OSX Server instead of Dropbox?

We are considering buying OSX Server. One basis for the purchase would be to replace Dropbox. We currently use Dropbox with local sync of folders, so all oru people work directly in folders that are synced to everyone else. Thus all docs are available locally all the time adn then they are available on everyones iPads, iPhones and Android phones. However a downside of that is that it takes space on the local hard drive, we can have conflicts where multiple people open a file.
Can someone please explain how remote users get access to the OSX server and the documents on it and if there is a "syncing" option similar to Dropbox?
Thanks
John

Answers:
#1 Yes, if set up correctly the server can be available to everyone with Internet access.
Typically this would be via a VPN connection. One caveat–only one VPN connection can be active from a particular LAN. In other words, if two computers on the same LAN want to connect via VPN to your server, this will not work (at least it wouldn't under earlier versions of OS X).
WebDAV is a possibility but I have not had good results when using WebDAV. Access is limited to apps that support WebDAV connections (such as Pages, Numbers, and Keynote). Even then it seemed a bit problematic.
#2 Any offline documents from the server must be managed manually. In other, you must manually copy them back and forth. As Linc mentioned above, OS X Server does not offer sync functionality.
