Is it as easy as Mac OS always?

Hi, I have leased a virtual server by a hosting provider and the virtual server runs Debian Linux with a user management interface from confixx. That is as easy as I like, but it is OK.
Now I found a hosting provider which leases me a Mac OS X Snow Leopard server running on a Xserve for only 49 Euro per month. The vhost has 2 GB of RAM and 60 GB of userspace. That sound good.
But I am not sure if Mac OS X SL is the right webserver for me, because I do not wan't make settings at all, only some simple steps for creating my sites and thats it. What I have is this: few domains which do have only static content created with iWeb, one site with Wordpress running on and another site with Pixaria, a gallery script, both running PHP. Both need some special setting in PHP as mod_rewrite or for uploading larger files max_execution time and so on. ImageMagick would be nice but GD lib is OK. I can't remember all at the moment, how many more extras I needed for PHP sites.
How easy will it be, to use Mac OS X SL for this purposes?
Will I be better in using a Linux Server with a graphical user management as before?

It all depends on your needs for your proposed site(s).. I've currently got a HP/Compaq Proliant server in my garage (a great hardware platform by the way -- VERY redundant hw) that runs FreeBSD8 (I used to run Fedora Core Linux). Anyway, in transferring all of my stuff over from F8 to MacOSX Server, I've found that the vast majority of the admin features are pretty well thought out.. If you need more esoteric features, then some of the admin features may be limiting as some of the features of a product (e.g. Postfix) may not be present in the Apple GUI. I'm still working on Apache's config so I'm not sure I'm the best to answer for it just yet.
Anyway, that's my $0.02 worth.. Both of them are more than capable of getting your generic Apache site running and serving PHP or similar sites.. The Linux Admin GUI thing depending on what it offers may not do everything you want either and you may find the need to edit files by hand anyway.. YMMV!

  • Why does my mac air always restart when I open it in our university?

    Why does my mac air always restart when I open it in our university?
    This has been always bothering me for some time already. Whenever I open my macbook air in our university it always warns me to restart my device. When I do the same thing happens over and over again until it reached 27 reports.

    I'd make a sound too if i was put into a bag haha.
    Only thing i could think of it it has a mind of its own or your putting your computer to sleep. Try shutting down your mac before placing in your bag and see if that changes things.

  • My brand new mac pro always had Internet connection issues at school. WHY is that? I see the school's Internet working perfectly fine on other PC's, but there is never a day where my mac doesn't have Internet connection issues at school. How do I fix it?

    I got my mac pro in the middle of August. School started the week after. Internet was working perfectly fine at home. But at school, I never had a good connection. Sometimes on the good days I get a connection when I'm sitting at the exact spot in class I always sit at. It's ridiculous and it's frustrating. I invested my money into this laptop and I'm beginning to regret it. I thought it was the school's Internet, but I don't see Internet issues with other PC users. It's most frustrating on registration days and I'm trying to register for my classes before it gets taken, but again... Internet connection issues. It's random. Majority of the time, it doesn't work at all. I've done Network Diagnosis and turning WiFi off then turning it on again. I've done everything I could. I put my money on this laptop and it was a lot of money. I could have bought an 800 dollars laptop and I would have Internet connection anywhere on campus. So, I don't want to continue everyday to regret on buying this laptop every time I try to connect to the Internet at school or Starbucks or anywhere else. How do I fix this? What's the problem ?
    At school, I heard this guy had a problem with Internet connections too and he owned a new mac book pro. He said something like Apple messed up on something, but he fixed it. If I knew mac book pro's had these issues I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. It's freezing on me every other day. It's ridiculous. But what concerns me the most is the Internet connection. So someone please tell me what can I do next to prevent the problem? Am I doing something wrong maybe?

    Hi Kevin,
    I'm using an XLR input mic which is connected to the phantom power enabled XLR mic socket on a USB M-Audio M-Track. The M-Track is connected by USB to the Mac Pro - so effectively I've got an M-Audio USB soundcard with a mic input.  I've also tried a microphone that is a straight XLR to USB cable (guessing with some soundcard chip buried in the usb plug) but that also yields the same effect of bad latency, intermittent quality, stuttering and repeating and echoing (without the speakers on during record so its not feedback).
    The mic works absolutely fine with other recording applications I have on the mac at the moment - albeit non-adobe ones (tested it on the EasyAudioRecorder - and it lives up to its name. it's easy)
    I will try with Audition and report back, but sitting here right now I can imagine it would work fine with audition too - it just seems to be the way premiere is set up for recording into the timeline is a bit sketchy.  I'm willing to accept it might well be a quirk with the new Mac Pro trashcan - I'm not weighting all the woes on premiere.
    Any thoughts or am I out of luck to sit with my fingers crossed for a fix in the next round of updates?
    Nathan.

  • Networked Macs Not Always Showing Up In Network In Finder - On One Mac

    The problem is that awake and running networked macs do not always show up in Network on the Finder. Sometimes they do and sometimes they do not. The problem happens fequently on one machine. Very similar questions have been posted on this. I suspect many are dancing around the same issue. I am hoping to get to the bottom of this.
    All the OS X machines are running 10.4.9. Two are networked by Airport. The Airport and the problem iMac, an older G3, are wired to a LAN. On the LAN sits a PPC 7200 running OS9 IpNetRouter serving up IP addresses for all the connected devices, including printers. IpNetRouter also provides an internet connection out through a second ethernet card. The PPC 7200 drive is always reliably available for connecting to in the Finder.
    Each of the OS X machines are set for Personal File Sharing only, with Firewall running, and without Stealth Mode enabled.
    The problem is noticed on the wired Mac. Perhaps that is the key to this. The problem is not two way. The Finder on the wireless Macs shows the wired Mac in Network when the wired Mac is not showing the wireless Mac. Sometimes only one of the wireless Macs shows on the wired Mac. When that happens it is always the wireless eMac instead of the wireless Intel Mac.
    When this problem occurs, it is always possible to connect to the "missing" wireless Macs by using their local IP address reported by IpNetRouter. It is not possible to do the same using the computer name of the Mac that should be visible in Network or by using its DHCP client ID.

    No Macs are sleeping, but they might have been in the past. They don't show up when they are sleeping. These machines are often on for days. All are updated on a regular basis, including in the past two days.

  • Outgoing Mac Mail always send from the same address?

    Hey y'all -
    I use 3 gmail accounts through mac mail for 3 different purposes - all fine. But when I send mail, regardless of what account I send it from, recipients always recieve my emails from the same address? E.G. I send an email from addresses 1 or 2, but when they are received they are from address 3? I've also removed address 3 from mac mail, but recipients STILL see address 3 as the sender. Can anyone help? Would a reinstall of mail be appropriate, if so what would be the effective way to go about it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Stu

    SOLVED IT!
    Right, I had multiple email accounts, all gmail, address 1 2 & 3.
    All mail went to the right addresses, fine. But when I compose, lets say from address 1 or 2, it ALWAYS ends up being received the other end by address 3. I only find this out until I get a reply delivered to the wrong address.
    SO  go to preferences, select one of the problematic addresses, then outgoing mailserver (SMTP:) in this case it will say Gmail. Click it so you get the drop down and edit SMTP list. There is a tab that says advanced. This is where I noticed the problem. On my list of SMTP servers I had one for my microsoft account, and then one Gmail one for all 3 gmail accounts. And what did I find for authentication? the username and password of the problem address that ALL my gmail accounts were sending through. You need to create SEPERATE smtp servers for each and every account, especially when using multiple accounts of the same kind (e.g. 3 gmails!)
    This fixed the problem for me perfectly and now my emails send from the CORRECT selected address. HOORAH!
    ALSO...
    Regardless weather it by gmail or hotmail you compose from, mac defaults to using the next working server. Before setting up seperate smtp servers for each gmail I just deleted the one that was there and then it started sending from microsoft account etc... just to clarify that it works regardless of account type!

  • Mac Mini always waking up because of Wake on Demand but never sleeps again

    Hi there,
    i first of all like to give you an overview of my setup:
    2 Locations:
    1. Cologne (Germany)
    1x Mac Mini - 10.6.2
    Router: Linksys WRT 54 GL (running DDWRT 2.4)
    2. Düsseldorf (Germany)
    1x Mac Mini - 10.6.2
    2x Macbook Pro - 10.6.2
    Router: Linksys WRT 54 GL (running DDWRT 2.4)
    and one Time Capsule attached to it as a network storage (Time Machine) without using any routing function.
    Here is what i'd like to do:
    As i often travel between Cologne and Düsseldorf i'd like to access every Mac from everywhere. Thats why i bought those 2 Linksys Routers as they allow me to wake my Macs with Magic Packets from my iPhone. Whenever i need a file from the other mac i just hit "wake up" in the Sleepover iPhone-App and the mac will show up in the finder because "Back to my Mac" is enabled.
    Everything worked perfectly fine... until.. Snow Leopard came out. It has this nasty "wake on demand" feature which will wake every mac every two hours to perform some sleep proxy adjustment. Unfortunately there is no way to wake a mac running Snow Leopard via Magic Packet without simultaneously activating the Wake on Demand feature.
    Now i would be perfectly fine with all macs waking up from time to time but the problem is that all macs perfrom this adjustments 2-3 times perfectly fine but the fourth time they start and will not sleep again. This leads into the situations that every Mac i have is running when i wake up the next morning.
    What can i do to avoid this? It is really annoying as i sleep in the same rome as the mac (which is producing some really loud noises at night when running all the time).
    I always get "wake reason = RTC" which stands for Real Time Clock, the Wake on Demand stuff...
    I am really going crazy as i cannot figure out why those macs just dont sleep anymore.. sometimes it works (for the first 2-3 times) and then it doesnt.
    Thank you!
    André

    I have quite a lot.  2 iPads, 3 iPhones, 2 Apple TV, 1 Windows PC, 1 Windows server, and a few other network appliances (Blu-Ray player, Xbox360, etc.)  I haven't changed any configuration on any devices.... it seems this issue just appeared 2 days ago.  I will try to reset my router to see if it helps and report back.

  • Headerless mac mini always unresponsive each morning?

    Hi - I have a late 2012 mac mini stock h/w running 10.9.4. there is no kb/mouse I connect via screen sharing. Each morning my screen sharing connection is fine, my apps are still running but as soon as I try and use the machine finder appears to restart and then other than control the mouse no app will start / stop and I can no longer SSH to the machine. The power button is the only remedy.
    The machine sits dormant as a media player with an HDMI connection to a TV. I've tried a cold boot and left with no apps running for 24 hours and it becomes unresponsive in the same manner. Wired or wireless connections tried.
    I'm fairly new to troubleshooting macs as never needed to in the past. Also updated to 10.9.5 and that has had no effect good or bad.
    Used diskutil to verify disk / repair permissions etc. again no effect good or bad.
    Any ideas where to start? thanks in advance.

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Mac Pro always indexing

    Is there a reason why my Mac Pro (running Lion 10.7.4) is always indexing the Macintosh HD? Even when it's completed indexing, the next day it'll be indexing it all over again. Has something corrupted that I need to flush out? I use Onyx, Drive Genius once a month or so as I use Logic heavily in the studio so am defragging etc.
    Ben

    Interestingly it's doing it again just after I Superduper'd my mobile FW audio drive back to my internal audio drive. Doing a search of mdworker - the majority of the lines are to do with my projects drive, not the Mac HD which it's currently Spotlight indexing. I've pasted two Full Report threads below. I'm not an expert at all about thisso before I go in and give you a load more, which of the information below can be discarded?

  • Since New Mac has always been very very slow

    Hi, I've had my mac 9 months, but from new I have had ongoing problems, its always lagging, I've called tech support and they've told me to do a couple of things but they haven't worked, it since that as soon as I open up about 5 tabs, it can't cope, I just find this absolutely rediculous, this is the reason I brought a mac in the first place as it had been reported they don't lag :-( Can anyone help????
