Wiped my entire macbook drive and now snow leopard won't install over snow leopard server, HELP!

I ordered, what I thought, was Snow Leopard a while ago because I was running Leopard and I wanted to get the app store so I could move onto Lion and then Mountain Lion. I ordered the disc over the phone and the woman sent me the Snow Leopard Server instead of just Snow Leopard, I didn't think much about it so I clean installed it and ran it on my unibody macbook for a while. I didn't see much use for the disc anymore seeing that everything was downloadable at this point, so I sold the disc on Ebay and carried on. The server edition started to slow my computer down due to all of its excess applications and what not, and I read online that Lion and Mountain Lion are also very slow on the old unibody Macbooks so I ordered a regular Snow Leopard disc, now available online, and tried to install it. My computer said Snow Leopard cannot be installed over Snow Leopard server so I went to disc utitlity and wiped my entire drive while the OS X Snow Leopard disc was running and trying to install. I went back to the install window and it still said OS X Snow leopard cannot be installed over Snow Leopard Server so I shut down my computer and tried to turn it back on and I all I got was a blinking folder with a question mark in it, what do I do????????
P.S. All of my content is backed up on an external harddrive so I am all good with that.

Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. After formatting has finished quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the Snow Leopard installation.

Filemaker Pro 6 Client install on Snow Leopard Server on Parallels

Hey Gang,
As per MichaelLAX "Full installation instructions for Snow Leopard Server into Parallels", I have successfully installed SLS on an ML iMac using Parallels 8. Worked great, thank you.
The only issue I am runnig into is we require FileMaker Pro 6 client to be installed and functional. FM installs fine, but the client does not seem to be able to "see" the FM Server which is on the same local network all our other macs operate and access FM on.
I'm sure there is a preference somewhere that is preventing the SLS install of FM from accessing the local network computers as they are also not visible in finder as they would be normally. I have no experience with OS X Server in general, so any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Josh

OK: Here is what I did:
I installed FM7 on my Snow Leopard Mac Mini and created a small file called To Do List.fp7. I made it a FileMaker Network server file in the Sharing... Menu under FileMaker Pro menu.
I then opened FM7 in Snow Leopard Server in Parallels 8 on my Lion Mac Mini. Under the File Menu I selected Open Remote... I changed View to Favorite Hosts.
Then I clicked the Add button. Then for Host's Internet Address, I entered the IP for my Snow Leopard Mac Mini (in this case 192.168.0.151) and gave it a Favorite Host Name (To Do). I clicked Show All Available Files for this Host and clicked Save.
My server file To Do List.fp7 is now visible in the window and I can click Open.
In my case, since I have only one licensed serialized copy of FM7, it recognized that I was using it twice and told me that error and then quit.
But in your case, you should now be able to open your local area network served FM files!

Stuck on gray screen on install of snow leopard server....

6 core 3.3 ghz, Mac Pro, running snow leopard server.
I need to change from my current RAID5 config to RAID0. How I wanted to proceed;
1) make TM backup
2) reinstall 10.6 server from installer disk (not the machine specific one, as I lost it, and apple made me pay for a new copy even though Im still under applecare)
3) change RAID config during install
4) repopulate from TM during install
Unfortunatly.....
The installer never got past the initial apple gray screen (no time bar either).
So.....
I tried cloning the installer disk to an external usb, and booting from that.......no luck
I tried removing all my drives except 1 (3 were in raid 5, 1 was stand alone), and trying to boot off both the the usb and the dvd, no luck.
(note, when I hold down option during startup, it does see the dvd installer in the drive, and it allows me to boot from it, it just never starts the installer)
Then I tried...
Cloning a minimum version of my current system onto a usb, booting from that, then formatting my 4 drives and RAIDing them to RAID 0.
Then booting the installer.....no luck
Then I repopulated the new RAID0 array with my minimum system version, so that I had an OS back on the RAID array
Then booting the installer......no luck
(and reset PR all the time....)
I do not want to go through and drag and drog hundreds of folders from TM to the new system.
I want to resintall from scratch, and have the installer repopulate from my TM backup (because that's its job!)
any suggestions?
(frustrated)

"Look at that article. It says if you have a Mac OS X 10.6 running on your Mac's Hard Drive, and double-click on Install Mac OS X Server Icon on the DVD, it will give you a INSTALL button instead of a RESTART button (beacues you have a LATER version of Mac OS X already Installed on the Hard drive)."
Yes, that's what I see now, and it hangs as stated.
Even if it says "Install" when you click "Install" it then goes on to inform you, that it will restart to begin the installation (where it hangs)
BUT I also tried WIPING the entire system (no OS whatsoever), reformatting the drives using a bootable usb (so NO OSX running on my Mac's hard drive), and it still hung.
The bottom line is, no matter how you install, it has to restart the machine in order to unmount the startup disk, and boot from the DvD.
Booting from the DvD, makes it hang
"Do you have your "bare-bones" Mac OS X fully updated to 10.6.8? If not, I suggest you do that first."
Yes it is.

Fresh Install, Fully Updated Leopard Server Keeps rebooting on its own

Just upgraded to Leopard Server from Tiger.
Fresh, new install, fully updated.
Only software installed is Retrospect 6 and Drobo client.
My Server keeps rebooting by itself after 5-10 after logging in.
Won't reboot on it's own if I don't log in. The services are running in the background.
But once I log in as admin, after 5-10 mins, it will reboot on it's own.
Any ideas are where I should start looking on how to resolve this?

You're going to get to try to isolate this.
Any details from the crash report? (Applications -> Utilities -> Console.) Basically you're going to have to dig around in the crashes, and (if there's nothing obvious there) then, well, "try different configurations and different stuff".
This could be bad memory or a bad sector somewhere on the disk, for instance. Or a bad processor. Or a corrupt file. Or a bug in whichever Leopard Server baselevel is involved here.
Some steps and some options...
Disconnect all external hardware.
Run the hardware diagnostics for whichever box is involved here.
See if the box crashes if you log in as some other user.
See if the box crashes with no external hardware, or with no network connected.
If the box isn't under warranty (and any user crashes the box) (and if you're familiar with and comfortable with working inside static-senstive electronics gear), crack it open and reseat everything.
If the system is available to restore or you can blank and install, reinstall everything and leave both Retrospect and Drobo, and see if it crashes. Then add one or the other and see if that crashes stuff, rinse, lather and repeat.
Or you can call up Apple and ask for help.

Installing Mac OSX Leopard Server 10.6 on a Mac Air

Hi
Im trying to install Mac OSX Server 10.6 on a Mac Air which have Lion developer preview 4 on it, i try to install from
a .dmg file thats stored in the downloads folder when it runs it give me a message "resturt to begin installation" with a
restart button, i click it and then computer restarts and nothing happens why ?
also the server file is big 7 GB so i failed to burn it on dvd or copy to external hard disk and install from there

You will want to use a external double-layer (DL) DVD disk that you've recorded, or use an external disk configured to boot the distro.
Also make a full backup of your boot disk before you load this, as there is no "downgrade" option to get back to whatever version of Snow Leopard client you might be using on the box.
Please (also) read the HT4313 support article.
And for completeness...
This particular configuration isn't supported by Apple.
Mac OS X Server doesn't "like" DHCP addressing, and that can be common on portables.

Problem installing wiki on Leopard server

Hello.
I have a website to which I want to add a wiki. Have eanbled the wiki feature on server admin. Enabled the open directory service. Created a group on user admin on which selected the website and enabled the wiki and blog services. Restarted the web service and the groups page on the wiki page shows the group I created. But the group link leads to a 404 page. I checked the contents of the default wiki path ("Library/Collaboration') and there is nothing there about the group I created.
What could be wrong ?

I have had the same problem!
1. I setup a group in workgroup manager.
2. Enable the following service for this group on: (server IP address)
3. Checked wiki and blog
4. Checked web calendar
5. Allow (authenicated users) to write services
6. Allow (anyone) to view these services
7. Save
8. Refresh
9. Get severly frustrated at seeing:
a. Enable following services for this group on: (None)
b. Website Showing "No available groups." under the groups tab
P.S.: in server admin:
a. Server ---> Web ---> Sites ---> Site ---> Web Services
-Services for Groups
)Wiki and blog - checked
)Web Calendar - checked
HEEEEELLLLLLPPPP!!! Please!

Setting up a leopard server for the first time in live office environment

Hi
After a lot of reading and testing in a small LAN setup, Im going to install and setup leopard server in a small business, with max 10 employees.
Any hints on what I should expect? Any advice on most clever approach?
In the Server Administration Document there is a sample setup in chapter 9. I plan on following this, but will the employess(clients) be able to access the Internet while installation is in progress?
Any advice is appreciated.

I have to use the servers IP address when accessing iCal or wiki or any other service I guess.
I'm not sure what to do to get leopard.mydomain.com to work in my setup. We have a hosting firm to host our mail and web and they control the dns. Do I contact them to add a record for leopard.mydomain.com?
First (and in general) I'd only use and have publicly-registered domain names here.
I'd avoid use any domains that I didn't have registered.
If you have public static IP addresses for your server(s), then I'd suggest deferring all public-facing DNS services and registrations to your ISP or hosting provider, and to your ISP's DNS servers. Your ISP or hosting provider (specifically for mail or public-facing services) would set the mail MX record and any DNS translation for the public static IP address of your Leopard server box.
If you are using private addresses inside a NAT perimeter (which doesn't work for public-facing service such as mail or non-VPN access to blogs and wikis and such), then you can use Leopard Server or (preferably) Snow Leopard Server DNS to serve up local addresses inside your perimeter, and the "local" DNS server can then forward requests for all zones that it is not authoritative for out to your ISP's DNS servers. You probably don't want to be running "public" DNS until you've a better handle on how DNS works; start with a "local" server and learn.

Time machine slow in leopard server unlimited client

I installed today the leopard server unlimited client,
The time machine is in "preparing".. and it keepts preparing....
the backup drive is another internal drive.
1)it seems that it has taken a lot of time to backup an operating system disk!
2)maybe I am stupid, but 20 years ago, the scientific computers had versions for file. with that you could avoid all that "time machine" stuff and delays and need to backups.. with versions and an array you get the time machine instantly!.. with out of this waste of hours-time waiting for the " newest time machine".
.. 20 years after, an a bad solution is the top of the mac marketing???
i hope tomorrow the time machine could show more than a "preparing" window...

Are you backing-up the clients, or the server, or both?
Like most folks here, I'm not very familiar with the Server product, but I understand TM can do either or both.
You may find better advice in the Server forums, at: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=96

From Leopard to Snow Leopard Server

Hello,
Is it possible to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard Server without loosing the files and particularly, without loosing the itunes libraries (including ratings)?
When I tried to do so, the installation program told me it was not possible to upgrade.
Therefore I installed the Snow Leopard Server and now I am not either able to migrate the contents using a previous Leopard Time Machine Backup.
Can Anybody help?
Thanks.
Hugo

I have the same problem. There is no Migration Assistant in Snow Leopard server, only Server Migration. I am currently reverting back to the previous Snow Leopard setup (not the server one) by restoring the Time Machine backup after a clean install of the OS.
I think you can install the sever on a clean drive, the create an account then use Time Machine to restore the files into this account and into /Applications and such. But you will run into problems with some applications loosing their preferences if they are configured system wide etc...

Snow Leopard Server update to OS X Lion (not server)

I have a machine running Snow Leopard Server, and I will like to migrate the same to OS X Lion whenever it is available during the month of July.
Will it be possible to update a Server system (SL) into a plain OS X Lion? I don't use the Server features in the current install of Snow Leopard Server, therefore I don't care if any configurations regarding server are lost.
What I will like to keep is mainly installed applications and configurations.
Regards,

Does anyone here have a crystal ball? I can't answer it anymore than the next person. I'd ask it in the Snow Leopard Server forum after the release date. This is a user to user forum.

Intel Xserve with Leopard Server 10.5.5 won't let me in via login

A power outage appears to have created some issues with my intel Xserve, running Leopard server 10.5.5
The System identifier light was blinking, so I booted up from the Leopard disk and found out that my mirrored internal array needed to be rebuilt. No problem, 4 hours later, I repair permissions on the mirrored internal array, everything gets "repaired". Change bootup disk to the internal 10.5.5 mirrored array and reboot. System Identifier light stopped blinking, things were looking good.
The login screen comes up and when I put in the admin username and password, the screen does the shake of the wrong login.
What's weird is, on my laptop I can use Server Admin, Workgroup Manager, and the screen sharing for the server....with the admin username and password.
So, I figure, perhaps the mirror rebuild requires me to reset the admin password. So, boot back up from the Leopard Server install DVD, run the password utility. and reset the main account password.
I change the boot drive back to the internal mirror, same thing. I'm stuck. I can't get past the login screen on the actually server....or via the screen sharing...and Server Monitor appears to be stuck at 'waiting for response'. I can, again, use Server Admin and Workgroup Manager on my laptop and make changes to the X server software....but I can't log into the X serve.
My webpage, wiki, etc....are all serving fine. But, I'd like to be able to figure out what I'm doing wrong...log back in and run super duper, etc.
Help...please...

Spent all day with apple support. They said it sounded like the LADP database was corrupted. They had me try to login as root, via an opendir account, etc. No luck.
So, they suggested I do a fresh install of the Leopard server on an external drive. Did that. They then suggested I use my laptop and the workgroup manager app to log in to the xserver, export users, groups and computers....and to copy over the library/collaboration folder to the external "clean install" of Leopard server.
Did that and followed the instructions to "relink" the metadata.plist files in each group, to the GUID to the groups in workgroup manager. First issue, they weren't different GUID strings.
Well, that didn't work...kept getting file not found error. When trying to access the domain.com/groups/groupname...it should've asked for authentication. And let me into that wiki...but no, apache error page.
So, they had me create a new "test" group....added a user. Start and stopped the web...etc. This didn't create a new wiki entry (when we replaced my custom index.html to the default index where groups/wikis/blogs populate automatically at the main). And, there's no new "test" folder in the library/collaboration files.
They then said "well, it must be because you don't have reverse DNS configured right, that's why the new wikis won't set up". I've contacted dyndns.com...but I don't think that's the problem.
So, I've rebooted my xserver to the internal drive. The wiki and blog is still there, still accessible the way I like....I still can't login to the xserver.
So, I'm wondering, if anyone knows a way I can boot up my xserve in the target drive mode, hook up my laptop and replace / swap whatever admin files so that when I boot up my xserve, I can login again.
There has to be a way to hard fix a hidden file? Replace a DB? Some awesome terminal command to get me in and fix the admin account / password....
Or, does anyone know if the reverse DNS issue applecare cites is legit? Doesn't make sense how, the same public ip and domain name, that's worked for some time...suddenly doesn't???
I'm hoping someone can help me.

Leopard Server Users Issue

It seems that all the users I created during the install process of Leopard Server are just fine, but users I created AFTER the install was complete cannot receive mail. The users created after the install appear in the user list of the Workgroup Manager, but when I switch to Server Admin and look at the Mail Services::Maintenance::Database tab, the newly created users are not there. As in, the email portion of the account does not appear to get created. Anyone know how I can fix this?

Yeah, I did enable all services in Workgroup Manager. And, part of the problem here is that they users cannot log in and mail sent to them is bounced back, full on daemon response. Using webmail to try and log in, these newly created users get an error message saying that the user is unknown or password is invalid. Since its me doing all the testing, I know it's not a typo or anything easy like that.

Can i install bootcamp on mac mini snow leopard server 2010

hello,there are 2 harddisks on a mac mini server 2010 (snow leopard server.)i want to use the other hdd for installing Windows home server 2011 x64 .
but there is no bootcamp on the server.(do i have to download it?)
how can i do this,or do i have to use parallels desktop.
i have also a mac mini and a macbook pro and an alienware and a clevo laptop so i want the 2 servers seperate(and the mac-server on all the time)

You would need to install SL (non sever) on you Mac Mini Server.
You may be able to install the nonsever version on your 2nd HDD
-Partition you 2nd HDD to the max BootCamp Partition
-Install Windows Home Server on the BootCamp Partition (don't know of Windows Server is supported)
So you would have:
hdd1 - SnowLeopard Server
hdd2 - SnowLeopard (non-server) + Bootcamp Partition
Scenario 2:
If you don't have a need for SL Server SW, then wipe out the system and put only the regular SL (non sever) on disk 1. Partition Disk2 for Bootcamp only.
hdd1- SL (non-sever)
hdd2 - Bootcamp
I really don't know if you can copy the Bootcamp app onto SL Server OS to create a Bootcamp partition.

Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

When baltwosaid NO emphatically, that was described as CORRECT ANSWER. Ditto in the caeses of the radically different answers from Camelotand Matt Clifton
Could it be that CORRECT ANSWER needs better defining by Apple?
That apart, yes, switching might involve rebooting. About the voices, well, I was the other day adding voice to a commentary in a video I was working on. There's only American English accent in SL — Lion I believe has British ones as well.
Why not, I wondered, try to install Lion purely for academic interest, maybe with an SD card (Sandisk Ultra II, 16GB) as Tom Nelson says is possible at http://macs.about.com/od/macoperatingsystems/ss/Perform-A-Clean-Install-Of-Os-X- Lion-On-Your-Mac.htm
