Installing CF on OSX Server - Web Server/Website issue...

I am trying to install Cold Fusion onto a OSX Snow Leopard Server, and when I get to the Configure Web Servers/Websites portion, my site that is set up on the Snow Leopard server is not showing up in the Web Servers/Websites selection box, and because of that I cannot move past this part of the configuration of CF.
Does anyone have any idea of why the site is not showing up in the box and/or how to fix this issue?
Many thanks,
Gary

Hi,
I've installed Imagemagick on 10.5 and 10.6 client. Haven't had the need on server yet but it shouldn't be much different. Other installs to /usr/local on server have worked fine for me.
XCODE 3 and X11 must be installed prior to continuing with the following installation on Mac OS 10.4 & 10.5
Go to http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080818051248464
which has you run a series of bash scripts: at http://pastie.org/254887
This loads the modern image formats (jpeg and png), then ghostscript fonts needed for rmagick.
Then ImageMagick itself is loaded and all links point to it within the location it was compiled.
I selected /usr/local
Test the installation by
start up an X11 terminal window by starting Applications -> Utilities -> X11
$ cd ImageMagick-6.5.2-5/images
$ convert logo: logo.gif
$ identify logo.gif
$ display logo.gif
which should produce the sorcerer image on the X11 terminal window.
There is a single shell script for doing all this on 10.6 with the options for architecture setup.
HTH,
Harry

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

OSX Server Website DNS problems

I wanted to have a server so I decided to get the mac mini server. We want to set up a small website with simple web services running on python and ruby.
Now I'm trying to set it up to have a website connected to our domain (olm.io), but the domain name doesn't forward to the mac mini server.
I believe the server is set up correctly. The router is set up to port forward incoming connections on port 80 to the server. To test that, connections to the ip 190.160.227.68 retrieves the server and shows up the test website.
I entered our ISP dns servers and also set up a dns server on the osx server.
From outside this shows from outside:
$ dig www.olm.io
; <<>> DiG 9.9.2-P1 <<>> www.olm.io
;; global options: +cmd

Also checking the hostname says its ok:

Primary address     = 192.168.0.10
Current HostName    = www.olm.io
DNS HostName        = www.olm.io
Ok so from the inside of our network the website shows up, and from outside when looking at the public ip of the network the website also shows up.
What I'm missing is that when anybody types www.olm.io our website appears.
At one time I tried setting up Google public dns service, just to try it, but now it seems to be stuck referring to google 8.8.8.8 server,
$ nslookup 190.160.227.68

Authoritative answers can be found from:

Server:         8.8.8.8
Address:        8.8.8.8#53

I believe the problem is on the domain set up, which is as follows:

Thanks for the help

You will have two sets of DNS servers, your public DNS and the DNS running on your local network. If your external DNS is getting to your servers, then that's probably working. If you are getting the public IP address from your local network, then your gateway-router needs to "reflect" that address, or you'll need to configure local DNS services (OS X Server needs that in any case) to provide the local IP address for the public DNS name.
Put another way, read the article cited earlier and make sure your local DNS is correct. You can test for most of the common network and DNS configuration errors with the following harmless, diagnostic Terminal.app command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
...and this will tell you about the configuration, and whether no changes are required, or about the various errors that might be detected.
You can see what IP address you're getting with the following Terminal.app command:
dig +short oc.example.com
...or whatever DNS host name you're using. You'll get either the public IP address (which if you use on the local network, your gateway-router needs to be able to detect that and run the connections back into your network) or your internal local network address.
Your local network clients will want to reference your local DNS server.

Installing Imagemagick on OSX Server

Hi
I'm trying to install Imagemagick onto the server. If I follow these instructions
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php?ImageMagick=1l0pnkv7t9gp1m a6p2vi3epu13#macosx
I get an error of:
dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022 osx server imagemagick
I've looked around and can't seem to find anywhere that tells me how to install it
I'm wondering whether to use macports but will this change my localhost directories, etc... and mess up the other things I have running on the server
Cheers

Osx server website for virtualized application

I hope someone can help me.
On my OSX Mavericks server, I have a virtualized tomcat application. There is a Virtualbox instance, running Ubuntu, with bridged network. This means I have a unique IP number for this virtual machine. For tomcat I need to go to port :8080
I do want to set a "subdomain.domain.com" to open this 123.1.1.1:8080.
How do we set this in the webserver part of OSX server? Is this possible?

OSX Server AD issue

I currently have a mac mini running OSX server 10.6.7 it is bound to OD and AD.
When binding to our onsite windows 2003 AD server everything is fine but after a reboot of the server AD is showing as The Domain Is Not responding. I can ping the AD server and the 36 Imacs I have connected all seem to be able to logon and authenticate the users against AD.
Has anyone else come across this ?
Thanks for any advice

No reason to be angry as it's in his book on page 112. You possibly did not understand its significance until you'd done it yourself?
In an AD-OD integrated environment (I prefer this to 'Magic Triangle' as there is no triangle as such) there are no users in OD. They're all in AD. You nest AD Users or Groups (best to use groups) into an OD Group and apply managed preferences that way. You could bypass group nesting if you wish and simply create OD Computer Groups instead. Manage the workstations directly. All users admin or not, local or otherwise would have have those preferences applied.
"Are preferences correctly inherited between AD and OD groups and users?"
In my experience they are.
"What if I want users in some AD Groups to be controlled users on the client and users in other AD groups to be admins on the client?"
You can do the first part of the question using the provided Server Tools, PM or WGM. To make users local admins you use a terminal command. You don't want to be doing this for student accounts. To make AD groups administrators access Directory Utility's Advanced Options section in the AD plug-in. Clicking on the Administrative tab should give you the option you may be looking for? Alternatively you could use the command line (man dsconfigad) as there are more settings available using it than there are in the GUI.

OSX Server Website

I have my DNS for my subdomain forward to my home ip address. When I am not on my local network and type oc.example.com everything works. When I try to browse oc.example.com in my browser when I am on the same LAN as my server, nothing works. If I type the ip address of my server I get the default server app. Anyone know why I can't connect to my domain when I am on my local network, but works perfectly when I am remote?

OSX Server 10.6.3 - (Multiple) Website hosting via Server Admin

Has anyone else experienced/had this problem? I am posting this hear in hopes that someone else has experienced this as well and may know how to correct/resolve this problem.
We currently have purchased a collaboration software I have installed and I am running via OSX. The files are stored in /Library/WebServer/Documents/collab. OSX comes with a default website built in at /Library/WebServer/Documents. I intend to install the collab website in anticipation of adding more sites in the future and possibly utilizing the default OSX web services as well. I have set up our internal DNS server to route collab.company.com to the internal ip address of our OSX server. The default OSX webpage is currently hosted on port 80, I am running our collab site on port 8x (we are already hosting websites on a different server on port 80, and the router can only forward port requests to a single ip address).
With this configuration, if I enter the address of collab.company.com, I get the default OSX server running on port 80. If I enter collab.company.com/collab, I then get our collab website (on port 8x). Essentially I want collab.company.com to open the collab website, not the OSX website. What is odd is, it seems that if I uncheck the default OSX webpage in server admin and disable it, change the collab site to port 80 as a test and go to collab.company.com I get a failed connection that the site is down or doesn't exist, like it is offline. It seems almost as if OSX is completely shutting down the entire directory of /Library/WebServer/Documents which is where the collab website exits inside of (Documents/collab). If I re-enable the default OSX website, then both websites become live again.
So I guess my question is, is there a different structure/architecture that should be followed to prevent this behaviour? If so, how do I get multiple websites installed and configured properly in server admin to respond to their appropriate dns requests. I also forgot to mention for my collab site entry in server admin I have the host name in the general tab as collab.company.com, as well as the alias collab.company.com, but when I enter collab.company.com I am getting the default OSX site.

I agree, this seems to make sense in theory, but here is the result I am getting.
I have my internal (not my osx server) dns server containing a host entry of collab.company.com = 192.168.1.xx. I have a virtual host entry in OSX in the aliases area (correct?) of collab.company.com for my collab site. However, whenever I enter the url in my browser of collab.company.com, I keep getting the default Mac OSX Server website page. I even put an alias in the OSX server site of mainpage to try and differenciate it, but it doesn't seem to take or matter.
So once again, in theory I think "oh, just uncheck the enable button next to the default OSX website", I uncheck it, and then both of my websites are offline, or appear to be? For my collab site, the link redirects, but I get the error page.
Safari:
Not Found
The requested URL /collab/public/index.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.14 (Unix) PHP/5.3.1 Server at collab.company.com Port 80
Google Chrome:
Oops! This link appears to be broken.
Thing is, I even changed my collab site to be running on port 80 as well as a test. I check enable for my osx default page, and they are both back online. If I change the default osx sites port to say 87 or something, and leave the collab at 80, I then get the same bad request messages etc. If I put the osx site back to port 80, they both work.

OSX Server "Web Sites" port revocation?

Hi:
I'm trying to run a wordpress installation with MAMP on my MacMini late 2012, Running OS X 10.10.2 and OS X Server 4.0.3
I have since played with the 'websites' feature but decided I didn't like it. So I installed MAMP and have set up wordpress inside of it. However because OS X Server's "websites" pane Auto fills the "server website" to have port 80 (and I can't seem to change it) I cant get MAMP to use port 80. It gives me the error attached by PNG to this post.
I've disabled OSX Server 'websites' and attempted to remove the "server website" entry but I can't get it to release the port binding.
Any help to get it to release ownership of port 80 would be most welcome.

Couple of options. If you don't want to use any of the Server.app features, you can throw it in the trash and reboot.
If you want to use some features, but nothing that uses apache, you could run:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist
The Server.app, when installed, will run apache on port 80 all of the time. No easy way around this without resorting to the command line.

OSX Server 2.2.2 update broke my websites

I updated to server 2.2.2 yesterday and my owncloud website on my server stopped working. It was so frustrating I restored via time machine. Is there something I should check so I can update again?
Information of my setup.
owncloud 5.0
using osx server website feature pointing to folder.
using ssl 443 port for my website.
I have port 80 open as well but I have own cloud redirect to ssl.
if you browse diectly to my server ip it brings up the osx server webpage.
i have my computers point to my server ip for dns
my dns server routes my local website dns to my local ip of server (had to do this because I was getting NAT loopback issues)
all other dns should forward to opendns
Please help, thanks!

I have the same problem. Even trying http://127.0.0.1 from the server itself still the server cannot be found. My system log however is now generating what looks like an error from the server:
Sep 20 20:09:34 home com.apple.launchd[1] (org.apache.httpd[69048]): Exited with code: 1
Sep 20 20:09:34 home com.apple.launchd[1] (org.apache.httpd): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
This repeats constantly until the server is stopped.
I'm guessing there is a permissions issue somewhere that 2.2.2 has now broken. No idea where to start to resolve.

Using Mac Mini running OSX Server (10.8) to host web sites on LAN

I would like to know how to use a Mac Mini running OSX Server (10.8 ML) to host web sites on my home network (LAN).
I am developing web sites and previously (before ML) I used my Mac Pro to 'host' the sites I was developing to test them out before publishing them to my hosting package. That was when I was using 10.7 Lion and theer was an option in the System Preferences to turn web sharing on.
I have since upgraded my Mac client to 10.8 ML and have configured it to do the same - even though there is no System Preferences option for web sharing any more.
I also have a Mac Mini running on my LAN and its been upgraded to OSX Server 10.8.
Im now trying to configure it to host the web sites I am developing but with no success.
I thought it was just a matter of adding them as sites in the Server's Websites panel (see screen shot)
but so far Ive had no success.
On my Mac client I can simply add a folder in the Sites directory and then open the web site by putting http://myhost/~myuser/name-of-folder and it will load the default file in the folder e.g. index.html
How do I achieve the 'same thing' on OSX Server?

Hi Johnfromglenver,
There are no Mac drivers for the HP Officejet K60 printer. Therefore it is not compatible with the Mac operating systems. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836.

OSX Server - Databasing, world wide web access help

so i have just gotten a new mac mini server and i plan on using it to host my web server. included the actual web server a mysql server a dns server and so on but i figures it would be easyer to just buy OSX Server. well i did and i have the server up just 2 problems first there is no dadabasing server atleat that i could find and second i can only access the web site if in on a local network. now i think it may have something to do with port 80 but i dont know can someone help me thanks

- OS X Server includes the Postgres database system. You could also install MySQL from a 3rd party (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/macosx-installation.html)
- Have you verified that the server is available to the outside world overall? Have you verified your DNS configuration? What type of connection do you have to the internet? Does that connection provide you with a public IP or does it use NAT?

Problems seeing website locally on osx server

Hi..
I wonder if someone can help me i am quite new at all this . I have a Imac wirelessly connected to an airport extreme which is connected through a Gart2-4112 router . I am running Mountain lion OSX10.8.5 and I am trying to run a website off this computer using mountain lion osx server.
I have looked up several very good articles on the web and purchased osx server for dummies . Setting up the website looks easy   and I know I will run into future problems with trying to get the router port-forwarding   for my registered domain name but for now I cannot get the website to show on the server   “view Server Website” . From the default website I can see the default screen for OSX server I made the website up in iweb , have published all the files into a desktop folder which The store site files in points to .
The settings are drop down IP address any   port 80   ssl none
the error message i am getting is

Apache/2.2.24 (Unix) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.24 OpenSSL/0.9.8y Server at falconsfc.org.uk Port 80
I am afraid I do not know what the problem is
I would be grateful for any help   Many Thanks   Andy

Don't store your files on your Desktop.
Files on the desktop are, by default, owned by the individual user, and the Apache server doesn't have permission to view (or serve!) arbitrary files from a user's home directory or Desktop.
By default, in Mountain Lion Server, web files should be stored in /Library/Server/Web/Data.
You can use other directories if you like, but you'll need to jump through extra hoops to make sure Apache can see the files.
