Jetphoto Server on Snow Leopard Server - Need help.

Folks, I recently setup a machine using Snow Leopard Server and migrated our jetphoto server (http://www.jetphotosoft.com/web/?s=product_server) to this machine. I cannot get it to work. It worked perfectly on Leopard client.
I enabled my php5 module. I just don't know what to do on this one. I'd appreciate any help getting this going.
Essentially I downloaded the jetphoto server 1.3, moved the jpserver folder to the correct level of the webserver folder and attempted to load it in Safari.
All I get is:
Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404

Lion server or Snow Leopard Server?

From a quick check of postings here, my question of whether to use Lion Server or Snow Leopard server on a Mac Mini for a small office, looks to be "stay away from Lion server" Snow Leopard server just works and is easier to support.
Most of these posts are from 2011, has anything changed where someone can say Lion is now a much better server choice now than considering Snow Leopard Server?
It seems that most posters feel Lion server is a real step backwards, is this the case?
Thanks in advance - Lewis

Which services have been removed or depreicated?
You have to bear in mind that 'removed' or 'deprecated' only really means 'no longer bundled and supported by Apple'. Just because Mac OS X Lion Server doesn't ship with a foobar server that doesn't mean you can't download and install your own foobar server. It just won't be integrated into the Server Admin apps.
For example, Lion Server no longer ships MySQL Server. So download and install your own copy. It's not like the GUI apps gave you any control over the MySQL anyway, other than starting it up and controlling the network ports.
Likewise for print server. Some of the advanced print features such as quotas have been removed from the GUI, but you can implement them yourself.
Likewise with QuickTime Streaming Server, where the functionality is little more than a web service.
What features that have been enhanced?
Lion Server has simplified the setup of a server for small workgroups with simple requirements. If that's you then the whole experience may be enhanced since you're not swamped with a slew of options that you don't understand, or need.
I think a lot of people were also stymied by Snow Leopard Server because they expected the GUI apps to cover all the options, which was never the case.
So my original point stands. There is pretty much nothing you cannot do in Lion Server than you could do in Snow Leopard Server, it's just that it might not be supported by the GUI. Most serious server admins eschew Server Admin.app anyway since even Snow Leopard Server's admin app doesn't cover all the capabilities of some of the services, so you end up driving it via the command line anyway.

VPN Server in Snow Leopard Server not accepting connections

I've got some issues with a new Snow Leopard Server, running on a Mac mini Server, and VPN.
I have a Linksys WRT310N performing router duties. I have enabled the VPN Passthrough in the router's configuration pages (IPSec, PPTP and L2TP all Enabled). In the Applications and Gaming section, I have enabled ports 1723 (TCP and UDP) and 1701 (TCP and UDP) to go through to the mini Server. In order to have the VPN Passthrough enabled, I have to have the SPI Firewall enabled on the router.
I have both PPTP and L2TP enabled on the Server. When I first tested it, everything worked.
Within 24 hours, it stopped working, and I can't work out why.
On the Server, I can see in the logs the following messages: (server name and IPs changed to protect the guilty)

Any ideas?

Well, this didn't last long. The VPN is already down. Cannot connect to it again.Very Frustrating.
I know the actual server is receiving the requests (Server Log):

I have a call with Apple Support this afternoon. Hopefully it will be fruitful. If I get anywhere, I will post it. If anyone has any bright ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.

Tiger Server and Snow Leopard Server

I have 2 servers. 1 is an old tiger server and the other a snow leopard. When I try to connect to either in the workgroup app. I am getting and error 14105 line 2334 error and the app unexpectedly quits. I want to be able to have a share point on the old server without users having to log in again. I would assume you could use LDAP for users but I am relatively new the MAC OSX servers. Thanks

No progress yet. Have tried a lot of things with preferences on the server. I have confirmed with another snow leopard machine that this is not related to the machine in any way. I have not yet had a chance to test it on another Tiger server but given the fact that you are seeing it as well I would say there is a problem with the two operating systems cooperating.
As I said, I do have a temporary workaround. If you do a save as with the document, choose to overrite the original it works and then lets you continue to work on that file and save for that session. After you close the file and reopen the problem returns but at least for that session you are fine.

Hosting Software Updates for OS X Lion or Lion Server on Snow Leopard Server: instructions don't fit

I have a server running 10.6.8 and several services. Because some of the systems in my house are going to be upgraded to Lion (not the server), I want to be able to host Lion updates in addition to Snow Leopard Updates.
I followed the instructions to the letter located at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4771 to make this happen, but a majorpart of instruction 5 does not exist!
I went to find the line
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Darwin/11
in the /etc/swupd/swupd.conf file, but it does not exist. And yes, I do have root access, as I own the server.
I've searched for duplicate files with the same name, and I have had no luck.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, then what is the solution?

Solved. Thanks for the solution at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15678001.
Can a mod/admin close this please? Thanks.

Whats the deal to upgrade leopard server to snow leopard server?

HI
Does it need to be a clean install?, is there an upgrade assistant, i dont really want to install from scratch again, its just that because i have a recent xserve i qualify for the upgrade for only £7.95, which is great. Im just wondering if anyone else has done it yet.
Cheers

I upgraded over the top from 10.5.7 to 10.6.1 last night.
Xserve is new Nehalem (2.26GHz 8 Cores, 12GB RAM) Xraid attached.
Stopped all services except DNS
Cloned boot drive to spare via CCC, inserted DVD and restarted.
I updated the cloned spare disk, not my original.
Took about an hour, then restarted, once Window Manger came up, the installation post procedure kicked in and there was some trivial verbose in the bottom left hand side regarding updating services, with the normal big blue progress bar in the middle of the screen etc.
Applied 10.6.1 and others, restarted again.
Once done, I looked at all my services before starting them.
I run:
DNS
OpenDirectory
DHCP
MAIL
WEB + WEBDAV + WebMail (bout 6 site roots from memory)
AFP
SMB
MySQL
PostGreSQL
Retrospect
Other services I use are:
Joomla 1.5
Radmind
NetworkHomeDirectories
I lost my DHCP static assignments which I knew about from other people's posts.
DNS, DHCP, MySQL and OpenDirectoy came across fine.
MAIL
Mail presented me with a "wizard" walkthrough thingy, which all the settings were prefilled (assuming from the upgrade script) and so I essentially were passenger to clicking next next next... then Okay.
Did a quick Home directory login in and checked email.
I could email to myself (locally) fine, but realised after testing that I was not receiving any external mail.
Checking postmaster, I immediately had tonnes of postmaster email errors of "Postfix SMTP server: errors from <some.domain.name>... uh oh..
I grepped the mail.log for "warning" and saw smtp errors relating to zen.spamhaus.org.
I inspected my postconf settings compared to the default settings. (i.e. postconf -n versus postconf -d) to see just how the migration of my settings came across, etc.
I vi'd into my main.cf and searched for zen.
It seemed that my settings were rejecting everything from the outside world.
I removed zen.spamhaus.org and cleaned up cleaned up the mapsrbldomains entry to be just "mapsrbldomains ="
This fixed email for now, so I'll read up some more about what the settings should be and add zen.spanhaus.org back in later.
I also modified my main.cf settings to allow MS Outlook to access via imap.
apparently Outlook only sends the netbios name and not the fqdn of the client to imap servers.
Even configuring XP in the custom DNS section to include a DNS suffix, Outlook just ignored it and still sent the netbios name after it's HELO command.
I learnt the hard way that the only fix I found is a work around whereby one must modify there main.cf again:
Change:
smtpd_helorestrictions = rejectinvalidhostname rejectnon_fqdnhostname rejectinvalid_helohostname rejectnon_fqdn_helo_hostname
to:
smtpd_helorestrictions = rejectinvalid_hostname
WEB.
Well, nothing was happening here. Completely broken in every way as apache was trying to respawn after segfaulting every 10 seconds at loading the scgi_pubsub module.
Disabled that and the seqfaults stopped.
Didn't get far though as all my virtual sites were screwed.
As soon as I would start apache via ServerAdmin, all the logs within SA would vanish... (made me smile)
I ended up trashing all the migrated settings from within SA, as I had exported out a plist for web only.
All this did was re-enable the segfauts, so I deleted all the 0000domain_portip.conf files from /etc/apache/sites and started from scratch.
I knew Joomla needed to be patched to work with PHP 5.3 which I did before starting WEB service.
(used the test.zip file offered at joomla.org and applied it via command line using my good friend Matthias' (http://www.matthiasraab.com/blog/joomla-and-it/36-updating-many-joomla-sites-on- server-level.html) little unzip command. ( I did it manually though as I only have 3 Joomla 1.5.13 sites)
I vaguely remember installing Marc Linyange's PHP (5.2.x) on 10.5.7 Server to have the comple GD packages, so I went into the apache conf file and had to manually add Apple's new php mod back in, to get PHP back up. (joomla sites were downloading the php file, instead of rendering them, a dead giveaway that Apache knows nada about PHP)
After re-configuring all the sites, (while testing one at a time) my WEB was back up, and joomla seemed happy enough for my needs. (haven't gone looking for errors yet, as I'm sure they exist in the admin backend)
I haven't looked too much into webmail, but it works. Previously, I had a heap of extra plugins and vacation filters/scripts installed for my users. but I hear that's now possible via a wiki, so I'll be playing with that after hours.
I see now the default with my mail server is that you must have something in the subject line, (this gave me another mild heart attack when a user told me they couldn't send email)
EVERYTHING seems faster!
I use Network Home Directories for my own home directory (using 2009 Mac Mini with 10.6.1 also) and I've immediately seen improvements. Whether it's just a snappier 10.6 Finder, I'm not sure, but even my users are noticing it from NHD with 10.5.7 Server.
All in all. I'm very satisfied. This is the first time I've ever attempted to install over the top and I regard my result to be a great success. (I've done this sort of thing since 10.2 Server, and have always built up from vanilla installs, due to the nightmare stories I hear on these forums etc)
Started the cloning at 8pm, (only 100GB clone as most of our data is symlinked to our Xraid) and I put my head on my pillow at 3am.
Cheers,
Raoul.

Help with CF9 Standard Install and Mac OS Server (Snow Leopard Server)

Hello,
I recently purchased a mac mini server (with snow leopard server) and will be using it to host my CF9 applications. This install is WAY different than the install needed on a windows machine. I tried to install it once and somehow hosed up Apache and now I can't even get it to start up (apache). So I am having the colo company to do a full restore of the server and I took notes on the Mac Server install and below is the questions I have.
1.) Since Snow Leopard Server comes with Apache webserver, it is what CF wants to use. This is fine, I just need to know where these things are...
It is asking for the Configuration Directory: I'm guessing it is /private/etc/apache2 ? Right or Wrong???
2.) It is asking for Directory and file name of server binary: It currently defaults to /usr/sbin/httpd is this right or should I point it to another directory?
3.) It is asking for Directory and file name of server script: It currently defaults to /usr/sbin/apachectl is this right or should I point it to another directory?
It also wants the location where I can place the CFIDE. Can I place this anywhere I wish or is there a preferred location to point this to?
and finally, I have CF9 Standard, so on the mac server should I install it as a server configuration (self contained instance) or Enterprise Multiserver config. I was reading online that its better to install as an Enterprise Multiserver setup, but I don't know if this will work for me since I'm useing the standard edition.
Please Help ANYONE, if you have mac os experience and installing CF9 onto a mac server
Thanks

I have been getting this exact same problem. CF installer is somehow writing some invalid information into the httpd.conf file. I was able to replace the httpd.conf file with the default one, and was able to go through the webconnector process again and (sometimes randomly) it works. I also spent about 4 hours on the line with adobe CF support and made no progress beyond what I'll post here .
To answer your questions about file locations:
/private/etc/apache2/ for the httpd.conf files
/usr/sbin/ for both the apachectl and the httpd binaries
Although I'm able to get past where you are, and it seems to work correctly, Immediately upon adding a new site via server admin it all breaks. Coldfusion then will only work if I manually go to a cfm document. For example: http://example.com/ will give me the raw text from the (default index) index.cfm file. But typing http://example.com/index.cfm works.
I am lost here as well. After 4 hours on the phone with adobe support I would have hoped it would be an easy fix. I've completely nuked and reinstalled the server from scratch with the exact same results both times.
Does anyone have the slightest clue about what may be going on here?

NEW to Snow Leopard Server - Config Q's

I recieved a free Mac Mini Server running Snow Leopard Server and would like to get some help configuring it. I would like to get FTP and VPN service running. I've already purchased a domain name with 1and1.com, but don't have the slightest idea on how to get the domain name to point to my server. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to do this as well as getting the 2 services running? Also, are there any good books on OS X 10.6 server?
Thanks in advance!

Does your Internet connection have a static IP address? If not you will need to use a service like DynDNS.org and if you want to use it with your own purchased domain name you will need to use the paid for level of service.
I use the free DynDNS service with Snow Leopard VPN with no problems. You would in both cases download and install the Mac client for DynDNS so it can update your domain name record.
Would you be using Open Directory? If so you would need to setup an internal domain name server, it is possible to use the same domain name both internally and externally - this is known as a split horizon DNS setup.
Apple's own Snow Leopard Server documentation can be accessed here http://support.apple.com/manuals/#server 10.6 with regards to third-party books, I cannot comment from personal knowledge as to which is best but a selection can be viewed via http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywo rds=mac+10.6+server

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.

Migration from Windows Small Business Server 2003 to Snow Leopard Server

Hello,
I'm going to migrate a Windows Small Business Server 2003 Standard to a Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server 10.6.x in a few weeks.
I have 2 questions :
Is there an official process to migrate my Exchange server datas ?
Snow Leopard Server has it Wizards to help me to muigrate datas to proper services ?
Thanx
Regards,
Gil DERENNE aka --( dB )--

Thank you for your reply
My network will be Apple only in a few time (1 server, 1 iMac and 1 Mac Pro).
Now, I want to replace server and all services installed on it :
- Active Directory (replaced by Open Directory)
- Users/Groups/machines
- NAT/Firewall and Backup (will be replaced by a Time Capsule)
- VPN for mobile access
- File and Printer sharing
- Fax Services with Fax/Modem 56K !oops! (replaced by a free service offer by my ISP)
- Mail/Calendar/Address book and notes with Exchange (replaced by each service to serv right thing : Mail, iCal, Address book...).
I know what to do with all things but not for replacing Exchange and transfer datas to each similar service in Snow Leopard.
In the network, Mail Server will be used by Outlook with IMAP protocol and other services by web interface (Windows computers are not a problem for me, it can be alone and only access web if necessary).
The number of clients inside the LAN :
- 2 iPhones
- 1 iPod Touch
- 1 PC Windows Vista (for a few time) with some VM (Linux and Windows)
- 1 iMac 27' with 1 VM (Windows)
- 1 LAN Printer HP Deskjet 6127 (RJ45 Static IP connection)
The number of clients outside the LAN :
- 3 PC Windows XP
- 2 PC Windows Vista
- 5 Nokia Smart Phones
When I'm going to by the Mac Mini Server with Snow Leopard Server, is there some support to help me to do it whith them and is it free or do I have to buy AppleCare to access to this service ?

Where to buy Snow Leopard Server? OEM okay?

All,
I have half a dozen XServe (late 2008 machines) to upgrade from Leopard Server to Snow Leopard Server. I have been investigating how to go about doing this and have a couple of questions:
1) does Apple still sell this software? If so, how the heck to I order it? Searching for Apple software in the Store is an exersize in futility!
2) I've found several suppliers of OEM versions of Snow Leopard Server for impossibly low prices. I have installation media, I simply need the license keys; is this a good route to go?
Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

1) does Apple still sell this software? If so, how the heck to I order it? Searching for Apple software in the Store is an exersize in futility!
This is a question a lot of people have. There's no clear answer, other than Apple don't seem to offer it any more.
2) I've found several suppliers of OEM versions of Snow Leopard Server for impossibly low prices. I have installation media, I simply need the license keys; is this a good route to go?
There is no such thing as an OEM version of Snow Leopard Server - or of any Mac OS X System.
Since Apple develop and sell both the software and the hardware, there's no OEM market - it's not like you can buy a Dell or a HP with Mac OS X installed (which would be an OEM version of Mac OS X for Dell or HP).
Therefore, any site offering an OEM version of Mac OS X is absolutely, definitely, 100% a scam.
At best they're reselling older copies (which is questionable), at worst they're a malware farm trying to con you into installing fake software, or charging you for something they can't deliver.

Installing Lion on Snow Leopard Server

I have mac mini server running snow leopard server. I want to install Mac OS X Lion on it.
I have purchased Lion through App Store, but while installing on mac server it asks for Lion Server.
I am not using any server features as of now, Can I downgrade snow leopard server to client and instal Lion on it?
or is there any better way of installing Lion on Snow Leopard Server...
Thanks,
K

No easy way unfortunately.
OS X Server gets its fingers into all parts of your computer. You'd have to go in an manually remove hundreds of files, and replace them with their counterparts from the non-server version.
It would be MUCH easier to back up your home folder and any additional files you need, then nuke and pave with Lion non-server. Restore your info, and you'll be back up and running.

Snow Leopard server & bootcamp

Ok guys.
I upgraded from Leopard server to Snow leopard server 2 weeks ago
Did a fresh install
Erased hard drive installed
then Migrated my data/application over from a Super-duper backup.
No last night i wanted to do something on my Windows XP drive.
And noticed that my drive is no longer in the StartUpdrives area.
Now i can boot with option and choose the drive and the drive starts up fine.
So i decided to run the Bootcamp agent when doing this it gave me an error stating it needs to be updated in order to use it.
Ran Apple's update utilities it did not find anything.
I've been reading mix'ed things o line about this some say its not included anymore others say its a bug.
Could i get a definitive answer on this?

anyone?

Snow Leopard Server with Lion Server for APNS

Hello Everyone,
I'm wanting to keep my Snow Leopard Server (Xserve) setup in place its working great, and cant afford to have any down time on the company network. What I would like to do is setup up an additional Mac Mini with Lion server to handel just the APNS. Is this possiable.
I would be running all of the services, mail, OD, addressbook, caladar, on the Snow leopard server but want to use Lion Server to push out and manage some Lion clients, and iPhone with a second server has anyone done this, can this setup work?
Thanks!
Robert

Hi Robert
"Can you provide the basics for setup?"
Apart from making sure DNS is configured correctly - as always - there's not much else you need to know. Server has to be configured as an OD Master. It does work with the default self-signed certificate although Apple do recommend you purchase one from a CA such as Verisign. I mention Verisign because it's trusted by the US Government. Once you've got your push notification certificate from Apple, enable the relevant option in the Server App. From there create the enrolment profile and key in the relevant url in your IOS device. The rest is fairly obvious. If DNS is not properly configured for your network this part probably will fail.
"Can this all be completed in server admin, or the new server.app?"
AFAIK Server Admin is not involved with APNS.
"Did you just bind Lion Server too Snow Leopard Server, connect to another OD, or replica?"
This was on a publicly accessible server that was its own OD Master. Provided things are configured correctly I can't see why it can't work with an environment that's behind NAT.
"What do I setup after this?"
Apart from making sure DNS is configured properly as well as the tip regarding trusted certificates I can't think of anything else? From what I've seen MDM in Lion Server is very good and what's more quick on the devices I tested. I only tested IOS devices and testing was done 'over the air.' You can still use the ICPU assuming you kept a copy of the download?
HTH?

Admin tools on Lion to Snow Leopard Server on Mini

I recently purchased a MacMini Server with Snow Leopard Server and have everything working fine - except when I went to install the Server Admin tools on my Lion laptop - it would not let me! How do I manage my server? Currently, I have been using screen sharing to do everything - not the most efficient way - but I have my server up and running.
If I got the Remote Desktop on my Lion laptop, would that help me manage my server - just want to know, before I go and buy it.
Thanks,

I believe you can only use 10.6 Server Admin tools with 10.6 OS.
With Lion OS, you can only install Lion Server Admin tools: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1419 - however, this may perhaps worth with 10.6 Server, although I haven't tested, but it may be worth a shot.
Apple Remote Desktop is not going to help you much in what you're trying to achieve - it is not designed to replace Server Admin tools, it has a completely different function. It simply allows you a convient way to do screen sharing, copying files, executing unix commands - all of which can really be done through the built in screen sharing applications or via ssh in Terminal.
Apple Remote Desktop will not allow you to directly change DNS, Mail, etc. settings. It will only allow you to get onto your server's screen where you can open Server Admin tools and change the settings directly on the server - no different from screen sharing.
