ICal server on external drive

I have one computer (iMac) running Leopard. My wife and I have separate accounts on the computer. We both have hectic calendars. I was trying to see if it is possible to run one calendar off of my external drive so I don't have to subscribe to .mac or go through a bunch of third party sources. It would work similar to a server setup but only two people need access to it.
Thanks
Rick

No.
Simplify your life, reduce your frustration, and use BusySync to selectively share calendar content across your machines or accounts.

ICal server and external invitations via 3rd party mail server

Hi everyone,
OS 10.6.5 Server:
Services running
AFP
DNS
iCal
Open Directory
Push Notification
We are currently testing iCal server and have configured it to send out invites via our mail server (which is running on a different server) by creating the com.apple.calendarserver user on our mail server.
Email notifications are then configured under the Enable Email Invitations tab in the iCal service of Server Admin as follows:
IMAP
Email address: [email protected]
Incoming server: mail.mytest.com
Port: 143 (not using SSL)
Username: com.apple.calendarserver
Password: secret
SMTP: mail.mytest.com
Port: 25 (not using SSL)
Server requires authentication
Username: com.apple.calendarserver
Password: secret
My test OD users are able to send out invites both internally to other iCal users and externally via email.
So for example, I invite someone to a meeting and enter their gmail address ([email protected]), the invitation goes out correctly - when I log into gmail I see the invitation.
When responding to the invitation (clicking Yes), the mail server receives the response from gmail and the iCal server collects the message via IMAP.
However, the iCal server doesn't seem to parse the received email correctly as I get the following error in the iCal error logs:
[twistedcaldav.extensions#info] Cannot authenticate proxy user 'com.apple.calendarserver' without X-Authorize-As header

I have set a rule on our mail server to bypass any spam filtering for all messages sent to the [email protected] address, but this doesn't seem to make any difference.
Does anyone else have this working ? Any ideas ?
Many thanks

The issue is not "user authorization". The issue is that the 3rd-party service does not accept all incoming relay requests unless there is authentication with a registered account (which we have). This protects the 3rd-party service from becoming the relaying host for the universe's spoofed and anonymous spam. My deduction is that there is no mechanism in UTL_MAIL to designate not only the 3rd-party ip-address:port (by-passing the local sendmail server) but also providing the username:password for the account there for authentication.
Plan A: I have attempted to follow directions for client-side SMTP Authentication for Relaying on the sendmail.org site.
I have not been successful in completing a simple mailx interactive test, much less completing a UTL_MAIL configuration.
I am scouring the user universe for someone who has put all the pieces together successfully and can advise. . . .
Edited by: StevenInTallyFl on Mar 26, 2010 3:50 PM
to clarify that I cannot get from UTL_MAIL to 3rd-party IP directly

Use Personal Web Sharing to Serve an External Drive?

I have many files on one of my external drives that I need to serve up via Personal Web Sharing. While http://localhost/~username works great, I can't figure out how to share that external drive.
I have tried creating both a Finder alias and an actual symlink to the drive within my ~/Sites/ directory but neither work.
Is this possible?

What do you mean by indefinite exactly?
Have you repaired permissions since installing PHP5?
Indefinite, as it forever stays as 'Web Sharing starting up...'. Yes, I have repaired perms.

Can't see files on external drive

I have been FTPing files using Filezilla from my server to external driver. I can not see the specific files or folder (call it foo) on my hard drive using Finder).
I initially thought that the files did not transfer, so tried again. Filezilla though keeps on seeing the files and of course asks Do I want to overwrite them?" So how do I change my settings to actually see those files. Note, I have changed my preferences to "see all files."
Thanks

Oh boy. Excuse me for my mistake. Yes I am in the wrong place. I have my 250Gig Westernal digital hard drive connected to my macbook pro.
Yeah it's weird. But as I said, Fileziller seems to see it and I have a test site running on one host's server that is fine. When I went FTP the files (they are drupal). Everything comes over except my one folder where all my images are.
So do you want me to post this in the leopard forum?

Can I use Time Capsule to serve as an external drive with two different iMacs?

I want to be able to set up Time Capsule to serve as a backup drive for my iMac, as well as my wife's iMac.
So that we don't have to use two seperate back-up drives on each computer.
Is this possible?

The following quote is from: https://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/
Have multiple Mac computers in your home or office? AirPort Time Capsule can back up and store files for each Mac on your wireless network. No longer do you have to attach an external drive to each Mac every time you want to back up. AirPort Time Capsule spares you the work. Your computers are always backed up — automatically and wirelessly.

ICal Server external Email Invitations Not working for names with umlauts!!

If changing the Umlaut ü to something like ue in the Sender or Receiver Name everything is alright!
Thank you Apple for obviously Not testing Lion Server for international use :-/
Maybe this help someone else who is using umlauts with iCal Server external Email invitations
Regards

Hello Daryn,
Thinks for commenting. I am very upset that Apple just said "No" when I asked for this to be fixed. There appears to be no way to submit this as an official bug that keeps ical from running.
Apple actually had me reinstall my whole server and the issue was still there and then they just said "Oh, well I will email someone about it.".
This is the first time Apple has stunk it up in my books. This is bad support for Server.

Ical server invitations to external email adresses are sent from "user"@localhost.localdomain

Hello,
I have quite a bad time getting the ical server in OSX 10.7 server to work correctly.
If I invite a co-worker who also has an account on the server, everything seems to be fine.
When I invite someone with an external email address, an email is sent to the given address, but the sender address is not my Adress but "MyName" @localhost.localdomain.
Besides the fact, that this looks quite strange for a corporate company to send emails like this, some receipients who use outlook cannot accept these invitations.
Unfortunately I cannot find any settings where I could change this behaviour.
The ical server is configured to connect to an external email service with its own email address.
Can anybody help?

Hi,
Is there only a single user encounter this issue?
If only a single user has this issue, try to move the mailbox to another database and check the result.
Thanks.

ICal Server sends invitations via external email but no RSVP

I have set up a fresh install of Mavericks Server (10.9.3) running DNS and OD Services and now enabled iCal Server.
I setup invitation of external users via an external email address and invitations get sent and delivered via email just fine so I guess plus-addressing must be supported by the mailserver.
However the invitations do not show the RSVP requests and do not automatically get picked up by Calendar.app.
The server sits behind a NAT router and runs its own Split-DNS setup for the same local domain myserver.xyz.com that the router also redirects to the internal IP address of the server for external access to the iCal Server (so, FQDN is working for the server). The email account used for invitations is hosted on an external mailserver that runs on the same domain (mail.xyz.com).
Did I miss anything in my setup?
Thanks for any input.
Pete

Okay, got this figured out. Appears that the email server my client's company uses is terminating the connection when the Xserve tries to do anything. I setup a test Gmail account and used those settings instead and everything worked just fine.

ICal Server email invitations with external mail server

So I see lots of people have worked out the kinks to get iCal Server to send invites to external email accounts when using the Mail server on the same machine as the iCal Server, but who has it working when the mail server is somewhere else? Any help would be appreciated... I have setup it up like this:
Email Address: [email protected]
Incoming Mail Server: mail.mailserver.com
User Name: com.apple.calendarserver (I created this account on the mail server)
Password: Same as the one in my keychain for com.apple.calendarserver
Outgoing Mail Server: mail.xyz.com
Username: com.apple.calendarserver
Password: Same as the one in my keychain for com.apple.calendarserver
When I send invites, this is what I get in the logs:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Okay, got this figured out. Appears that the email server my client's company uses is terminating the connection when the Xserve tries to do anything. I setup a test Gmail account and used those settings instead and everything worked just fine.

GRUB hangs when booting Oracle VM Server via USB External Drive

I installed Oracle VM Server 2.1 on USB external drive (/dev/sde - 80gb) with First Sector Boot Partion (/dev/sde1) as /dev/sda1 (MBR) is already occupied. After a successful installation, I changed the hard-disk device sequence (not boot order) so that USB drive is found as first C: drive. All I got was the word 'GRUB' displayed (hangs) and nothing else. How do I get Oracle VM Server to boot? Should I reinstall now that the hard drive sequence has been changed?
Thank you.

Not Oracle VM-related, so I would say: "Google is your friend!".

Is there a way to install the server on an external drive connected to an airport extreme?

Is there a way to install the server on an external drive connected to an airport extreme?

If you want a small (comparatively) cheap server along the lines of the AirPort Extreme the nearest thing is a Mac mini.
You can use the AirPort Extreme as a very basic file server, and (unofficially) a Time Machine server. A Time Capsule has a built-in hard disk and officially supports being a Time Machine server.

Server won't allow login booted from external drive

I have a client who was running Leopard Server on a Mac Mini G4 1.42Ghz. (Hey, it serves their needs fine.) They had installed it onto an external Firewire drive since this particular Mini had a bad internal drive. It's been working great for them for months - so great in fact, that they decided to upgrade to an Intel Mini.
We simply unplugged the external drive and hooked it up to the new Mini and expected that all would be well. Instead, it boots as far as the login screen and then fails any login attempts. When hooked back up to the old Mini - everything is happy.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

The drive is probably formatted w Apple Partition Map.
Format a different external to GUID copy the files over and try again.

Too bad mini server won't boot from an external drive

It won't. Enterprise TEch support confirmed this. I bought thew new mini server to get a good value fast machine with a quad i-7.
What's the purpose of Thuderbolt if my apps and doc folders have to reside on a SATA disk?
They really should have non server version with the i7 quad.
Even better Apple should make it clear that this is the case. Even the guy in the apple store said I coud boot it form an external drive!

Yes this will all take some time for sure.
If you want to keep lion server on your current machine, then yes, that is correct. It doesnt hurt to have a few spare 500gb+ hard drives to help the long process.
See there was previous controversy with the mac mini servers with the dual cores (the one I have) because we all wanted the better processors but to not run the server version and some also wanted to be able boot from other drives. Same as you..
In non lion versions of OSX you would normally put the SL Server DVD or SL DVD into your mac and instead of installing a fresh OS, you would select utilities , then restore from time machine backup. You could also obviously use an external drive or SD card with SL or SL server installer loaded on it to install the OS or perform the restore.
That being said
I personally only know how to use a Snow leopard Server or Regular snow leopard installer DVD (or disc imaged external hard drive partition as just mentioned) to use time machine to restore an OS. I personally dont have experience with the lion disc repair for using its utilities to restore from a backup. Im sure it works the same way though when you hold option and boot from it..
If you are looking to go NON server on your OS you must have a Snow leopard retail version DVD (not leopard upgrade version) to be installed on to an external drive.
So what you would do is Set up a partitioned external hard drive and load it up with Snow leopard, upgrade it in app store to lion ($29 ) , then update it with software update, back it up to another partition using time machine, then boot from the install dvd (or disc imaged partitioned installer of SL) , go to utilities, and select restore from backup, when its asks wher eto install choose the external you want to boot from (must be partitioned using GUID partition table) and install. When you want to boot from that drive, hold option right after you power up your machine until it gives you the option of the drive you want to boot from, select it and boot.
Unfortunately like I said you will have to have a snow leopard retail installer (no longer at the apple store only online or ebay for $30) and then would have to 'upgrade' to lion in order to NOT have lion server version on a mac mini set up for server.
If lion server version is good for you then yes do what you wrote in the reply would work. My experience with server snow leopard was that it was slower than snow leopard regular and it extremely interfered with my music production even though I was not running any of its server options..
I hope this helps..

Time machine not detecting external drive after installing OS X Server

Hi,
Recently I installed OS X Server to set up a vpn but while I have been setting it up I have noticed other Mac's with in the network can not back up anymore the the external hard drive that they used to.
I have made sure that the external drive is on shared folders etc. and the other Mac's can detect the hard drive if I use connect to server to connect to my Mac Mini that the hard drive is attached to.
I have tried to connect it to the Airport we have here but it wont come up on any computers under the Airports name, we are using its hard drive at the moment to back everything up to but we need to back up to the external hard drive ASAP.
The hard drive in question is a SmartStor DS4600 6TB using USB 3 to connect to the Mac Mini and all the Mac's are running Mavericks.
This needs to be resolved ASAP so any help would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks,
Bruce

I *think* with OS X Server to use an attached external drive as a TM backup, it has to be setup this way. You're right, a shared folder is setup under a Backups folder. However, each Mac on the LAN will create its back up in the Backups/Shared and those back ups will be visible if they ever need to restore.
I don't understand why you need to have the back ups created at the root of the volume. And I don't know if or how this can be done using OS X Server. I have always used the TM Backup service and have not tried to share an externally attached drive to be used as a back up. You may be able to do this by going into the File Sharing service and define your back up drive there. You'll have to give read/write permissions to each user just like you would do for any other shared folder.

HT201250 Can I do a backup using Time Machine on a server, or it needs an external drive only?

Can I do a backup using Time Machine on a server, or it needs an external drive only?

Time Machine can back up to a server. The drive or partition used still needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
