Lion Server App Port?

Hello,
I am having a problem using the Lion Server App to access our company Lion Server from outside the intranet.
Is port 311 the correct port to open on the firewall to access Lion Server from the outside with Server App?
Thank you!

Hi Warashina,
Yes it is the correct port #. Specifically it is 311/tcp. For reference you can look at this document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1629
In addition you can use the terminal's basic tcpdump command to check. If using your wifi adapter the command would be:
sudo tcpdump -i en1 -q -n
Then fire up server.app and attempt to connect you can see the basic conversation go over the wire.
In my case it looked like this:
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on en1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes
12:40:52.891558 IP 10.254.30.253.52992 > 170.34.55.122.311: tcp 0
12:40:53.039459 IP 170.34.55.122.311 > 10.254.30.253.52992: tcp 0
12:40:53.039530 IP 10.254.30.253.52992 > 170.34.55.122.311: tcp 0
12:40:53.039872 IP 10.254.30.253.52992 > 170.34.55.122.311: tcp 184
12:40:53.184879 IP 170.34.55.122.311 > 10.254.30.253.52992: tcp 0
12:40:53.185072 IP 170.34.55.122.311 > 10.254.30.253.52992: tcp 0
12:40:53.185497 IP 170.34.55.122.311 > 10.254.30.253.52992: tcp 79
12:40:53.185548 IP 10.254.30.253.52992 > 170.34.55.122.311: tcp 0
311 tcp was used to connect to and 52992 was used as the origin port from my machine.

Where can I download lion server app

I can't find a copy of lion server app anywhere not even when I contacted apple. Does anyone know where can I find it?

Now that Mountain Lion is out, you can't buy older versions of OSX directly from the Apple Store. However, you can try calling Apple (1-800-MY-APPLE) and tell them that your hardware doesn't support Mountain Lion. I'm sure they still have copies of Lion. It's not like they destroy all traces of previous versions of OSX every time a new version is released.

Lion server change port?

Hello everyone,
I know that the web port for lion server is 80. But I would like to change it to 8080 as my ISP blocked 80. How can I change this on my lion server?
Thank you very much!

Ah, I've recently worked this one out for my mail server
In 'Mail' on the server.app tick the 'Relay outgoing mail through ISP' box and then click edit.
in the 'Outgoing Mail Relay' box entery your mail relay and add the port you want to use after the address.
I'm using dnyDNS so for me it looks like this outbound.mailhop.org:2525
Then enter you account login details and you should get the outbound mail servier to work.
As a side topic - once i have this set up my server emails all the alerts set up in the 'Alerts' window.
For the input port I have dnyDNS (Dyn Email Gateway) setup as a relay and forwarding the mail on port 2525 then use my routers port mapping to map port 2525 to port 25 on my server.
One thing that caught me out when I set it up was the spam filtering setup, which turns the incoming mail around to see if it's resent. this is the correct behaviour but to test the mail setup it's best to turn it off until you have everything else running.

OSX Lion Server app hangs; dock icon shows incrementing counter

I'm running OSX Lion (10.7.3) on a MacMini.
since yesterday, the following concistenly happens: when I start the server app, it says "connecting to the server" next to the spinning wheel at the bottom right corner of the app window. After a few seconds, the app's dock icon shows a red counter (akin to the "unread counter" of the mail app) which is continuously being incrememted, and the (in)famous colored spinning wheel comes up as well: the server app hangs, and shows up as "Not Responding" in the Activity Monitor.
I've checked the System Diagnostic Reports on the Console window, and it reports the Server app as hanging, followed by a few thousand lines of messages ...
Does anybody know what goes wrong, or better, how to resolve this problem??

I have the exact same issue. I can see from Console.app, that
opendirectoryd: got error 1100
Can somebody please help?

How to get my Drobo FS to mount in Mountain Lion Server.app

Hello Everyone,
Thanks in advance for the help. I am struggling with getting my drobo fs connected to my AE to show up in the server.app. I want to use my drobo fs as a mass storage device for the server since the server has a small hard drive. But I cannot seem to figure out how to get it to show up when I try to start the time machine service or include a folder on the drobo in the file sharing service. Does the server.app recognize or see network drives? The drobo connects as a server to the ML server, do I need to install drobo dashboard to get the server to see it as something else? I tried to create a share with the time machine option to see if it would mount as a local drive but it only mounts as a local. I think I'm on the right track, server.app only sees local drives but is there a way to get it to see my network drobo fs? Also, can I connect the drobo to the server (forgive me if this seems confusing), my mac mini via a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter? Would a direct connect change the way the mini mounts the drobo thus enabiling server.app to see the drive as local?
Thanks again for the help....
Also, when the drobo is connected to the AE it is assigned an ip 10.0.1.2, I connected it to my mac mini and the mac mini to my AE via wifi and the server.app had a fit because the ip addresses changed. I was unable to get the drobo to mount. I could reset the drobo as I do not have that much information on it. I could backup the drobo and restart anew which, I think, would allow the mac mini to create an ip for the drobo.

I guess in another forum that I posted this the question is not clear.
I want the drobo which is basically a NAS to show up when I try to implement the time machine service in the server.app. I have the drobo mounted and all is working fine but when I try to implement time machine in server it only shows me my internal (local) drive and not the drobo. I am wondering if it is due to the drobo connecting to the mac as a server itself (ip address assigned). Would an adapter help me with this? Such as a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter or ethernet to USB 3.0? would that create another ethernet connection on the mac or could I get the mac to see that connection as it is a USB or thunderbolt connected drive?

Mountain Lion Server App - Issue with Time Machine Volume Selection

Besides my gripes that 10.7 Server or the 10.8 Server app are radically dumbed down versions of what 10.6 Server was capable of, the upgrade to 10.8 from 10.7 unexpectably broke my home time machine backup.
Am quite familiar with the prior server versions as we are still using 10.6 Server on a dozen or so Xserve's, plugging along nicely
This is for our house setup using a Mac Mini with an attached 8TB RAID managing media serving and time machine backups. For simplicity, the array is partitioned as a single volume and simply configuring a file sharing sharepoint as a Time Machine Volume. Simple and easy!
When upgrading to 10.8 and then installing the server app, the upgrade conveniently didn't migrate any file sharing settings, forcing me to set them up again. Easy enough, just took a couple of minutes, except that the share point I used for time machine backups has no more setting to turn it into a Time Machine volume.
As such, under the Time Machine tab, which shows only logical volumes, I simply can't back up to our existing backups.
I suppose I can re-partition the array to create a logical volume for TM backups, but I can't believe that there is no provision to change a sharepoint into a TM volume anymore.
Am trying to stay away from CLI settings as well as that defeats the purpose of the app.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

I have asked the hosts to move your post to the OS X Server forum.

I am running Mountain Lion Server, and the App Store indicates an upgrade to Server.App version 2.2.5. When I try to upgrade it will not install. Is that because OSX8 is no longer supported; and if so, is there an alternate source for this upgrade if

Mountain Lion Server.app no longer supported?

Probably a long shot, but try resetting the App Store and Clearing Cookies.

Lion Server: iOS 5 clients can't connect to Address Card Server

I have set up shared accounts on the server for Calendar and Address Book (family) sharing. Although I can add and use the Address Book shared account on OS X Lion clients, I can't get this to work on iOS 5 clients (iPhone nor iPad). I keep on getting "CardDAV account verification failed".
Calendar sharing works just fine on both OS X and iOS5 clients
Let me briefly describe my setup and observations:
Server:
Running Lion Server 10.7.2 on Mac Mini (server)
Using SSL connections with keys generated during set-up of the server
Portforwarding in router (ao) for 8008 and 8843 (iCal and Address Book)
Created shared accounts on server for Calendar ("sharedcalendar") and Address Book ("sharedcontacts")
In the DNS server I created services in my primary zone for "_caldavs._tcp." and "_carddavs._tcp." both on port 8443
OS X Client (Calendar)
Created additional CalDAV account in preferences (user "sharedcalendar")
Left the server settings untouched (server path, port "auto" and using SSL but not Kerberos)
Created in "sharedcalendar" different calendars and reminder lists for the family members which each can access from their OS X client
This account is now set-up through Profile Manager (tried this with Address Book as well but didn't make any difference)
iOS 5 Client (Calendar)
Once tested on standalone and got this working I'm now using the Profile Manager to push the definition of the shared account to all clients
Hostname with port 8443 (default)
Left Principal URL blank since it was optional
User "shared calendar" with the appropriate password
Ticked "Use SSL"
OS X client (Address Book)
Created additional CardDAV account in preferences (user "sharedcontacts").
Left the server settings untouched (port 443 using SSL)
iOS 5 client (Address Book)
In the settings add a CardDAV account (server, user "sharedcontacts", password, description).
First error message "Cannot connect Using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?". When I press continue I get the error "CardDAV account verification failed"
If I then save the account details still and edit the account I can access the "advanced settings". When I change to SSL I have tried port 0 (default value), 8443 (the one that's listed in the documentation) and 8843 (which is used by default if you try to set up the
account in Profile Manager). All to no avail, including Profile Manager
Observations:
Lion Server app nicely lists both Calendar and Address Book Server as active (plus Profile Manager, File Server, Web server and Wiki server)
When I access my server home page, Calendar is listed in addition to other services (Mail | Calendar | Change Password | Profile Manager) but not Address Book. Is this normal behaviour? i.e. can't Address Book entries be changed through a web interface?
Address Book on OS X client uses 443 for SSL but does not require me to define port 8443 for secure iCal or Address Book server communications
Lion Server Profile Manager specifies port 8843 as port for SSL communication. I only saw 8443 listed in documentation
The response "can't connect .." or "account verification failed" happens very quick which make me think either the verification doesn't even leave the iPad or there is something wrong in the SSL connection
Since iCal set-up works nicely using the same ports I am puzzled why it doesn't work for Address Book
Your solutions or suggestions how to investigate are most welcome,
Erik

Thanks for joining the discussion.
Although port 8443 is mosten quoted as correct port for CalDAV and CardDAV, port 8843 can be found both on Apple's website and other places:
see Technical Note 1649 to find port 8443 listed for iCal and port 8843 for Address Book
Mac OS X Lion Server for Dummies (sic) lists port 8843 on pages 236 and 238 but port 8443 in many other places
when you want to push iCal and Address Book information with Profile Manager, Profile Manager lists port 8443 for iCal but port 8843 for Address Book as default:
So I hope you understand I'm somewhat puzzled.
I did get the Address Book working for my Lion desktops with the all the necessary certificates as far as I know, just not for the iOS devices (iPhone and IpPad). iCal sharing from Lion Server works fine on both Lion and iOS devices.

Upgrading to Mountain Lion server and all services breaks down...

Hi!
I have, after endless hours of scanning logs and .plist and other files' content and permission settings found why Mountain Lion Server.app in some cases doesn't seem to be able to take control over all service, stating it can't read or write its own setting files etc.
As a Swede I of course run a system set in the Swedish language. Mountain Lion can't upgrade a Swedish system, only fore languages are accepted !!!
See Migration Logs!
//Excerpt from the Mail Migration log:
Begin Mail Migration: Thu Aug 2 19:34:24 2012
purge: 0
sourceRoot: /Library/Server/Previous
sourceType: System
sourceVersion: 10.7.4
targetRoot: /
language: sv
Did not supply a valid language for the --language parameter, needs to be one of [en | fr | de | ja]
As you can see, it can only upgrade in English, French, German and Japanese system language. With no inital warnings the system crashes and causes a true mess half the way through its installation when you start Server.app.
Solution:
Throw Server.app in the trash or move it outside the Application folder, to force the computer to realized "its not a server". It can take half a minute or so for the system to realize it is no longer a server. You will see a sign.
Change the language setting to English in your system preferences and restart your computer. Move back Server.app from the trash (or where you put it) and start Server.app, thereby initiating a new Servers installation. I was happy to find that all mail accounts etc was found again. I thought for several hours they where lost.
The various sites hosted by the server did however not appear in their correct new location (when I tryed this). I had to manually move them from the "Previous" folder in /Library/Server/Previous/Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/ to /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/
I hope this helps anyone out there....
Cheers!
Stefan

Please explain.... when are you stoped from upgrading?
I haven't actually had problems with the actual OS upgrade it is when you launch Server.app the first time everything goes to f-n h....
Server.app should reconfigure and move around a lot of files and it does, but not succeeding doing it correctly. Many services can't read their config files and have them in two places. I trying to figure out which ones are being used. Somethime both locations are used but only parts of the settings in the files !?!?
I am soon giving up...

Need to buy Lion Server when buying Mac Mini Server?

Hi there,
Last week I bought a Mac Mini Server. Do I need to pay for the Lion Server part in the App store separate?
Cheers.

That is correct. I did not find the Lion Server App at first. Now I found it. No need to buy.
Thanks!

Lion Server Time Machine sparsebundles

Subject indicates where I think my problem lies, but for background:
MacBook Pro got bit by Thunderbolt firmware upgrade snafu last week. Contacted Apple Store the next morning, saw Genius at 11:00. Concuded hardware and firmware were OK and because I had a Time Machine backup less than an hour old I gave permission to install a fresh 10.7.3 image on my bare metal.
Got home and booted Command-R. Happily saw my Time Machine shares on Mac Mini Server running Lion Server 10.7.4. Yes, "shares." A Backup and Backup-1.
As a Lion Server novice I found a tip here to "defaults write /private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/sharepoints/Backups timeMachineBackup '(1)' to make my shared mountpoint work with Time Machine over the network. Perhaps thats how one does it if one doesn't have Server. I later found the Time Machine panel in Server and turning that on gave me a Backups-1 share as well.
So back with Command-R my MacBook Pro saw both the Backups and Backups-1, I navigated to Backups and it saw its previous Time Machine archive. I started a bare metal restore and happily went to bed. Next morning found the restore stopped at about 20% of the progress bar and message instructing me to reboot the computer. Repeated, same results.
Back to Command-R I reinstalled a new copy of Lion from Apple over the internet. Did minimal configuration until I could get into Time Machine and try to manually pull files. Again it quit unexpectedly no matter holding the Option key to Verify Backups passed.
So back to the Mac Mini Server I turn off Sharing from System Preferences and Time Machine from Server. The /private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/sharepoints/Backups file disappears when Server Time Machine is turned off.
I have attempted to move "David Kelly's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" from "/Volumes/Macintosh HD2/Backups" to "/Volumes/Macintosh HD2/Shared Items/Backups" where Server Time Machine seems to expect it. The problem now is that the MacBook Pro doesn't see this Time Machine archive in that location, or see it at all.
I have performed the Disk Utility verify tasks listed in the Time Machine FAQ with no errors found or repaired.
I have seen a -6584 error this week but don't remember exactly when: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3123920?start=0&tstart=0
How can I get the sparsebundle back under Time Machine Server?

Finally figured it out on my own 2 weeks later.
You have to open the Lion Server app and then turn on Time Machine on the server.
It will then ask what disk you want to use, which in my case was an external 2tb USB.
My confusion was that this is not they way you had to do it on Snow Leopard Server.
On SLS, I never used Time Machine, but had to partition my external disk individually for each user. e.g. 2tb disk was partioned into 4 separate volumes. This was necessary to keep one user's Time Machine backup from taking up the whole disk and not leaving room for the other users.
You then setup these partitions as Time Machine Sharepoint which would then show up as a choice on the users machine under Time Machine preferences, select disks.
Therefore, under SLS, a user could select from any number of partions to backup to on the server. On Lion Server, it appears you do not have a choice and can only backup to the one disk you selected on the Server App.
At the risk of carrying on a conversation with myself online, my concern is now about limiting the size of the individual user's sparse bundle to again keep one user from taking up the entire disk for their Time Machine. I guess that is another fight for another day.

Mac OS X Server App & CF10

I have the new Mountain Lion OS X installed, with the Apple Server app as my webserver - however I can't get Coldfusion 10 to install. The issue arises because the installer can't find the Apache config file. Normally the file would be called "httpd.conf", but in the Server app it's called "httpd_server_app.conf".
You can supply the correct directory to the installer, but it cannot find the filename it is looking for, so gives a "cannot find file" error, and the installer will go no further.
Surely there must be a way to manually install the Apache connector or something, where you can specify the name of the relevant configuration file or some other workaround?
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated - was really looking forward to running CF10 on my new Mac!
Thanks, Henry

Ok, I managed to sort an answer with some help from http://www.giancarlogomez.com/2012/07/coldfusion-10-on-os-x-mountain-lion.html
You need to make a copy of "httpd_server_app.conf" and rename it to be "httpd.conf". Then run the installer, and point the apache config directory as "/Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/" - the installer will find the "httpd.conf" file it was looking for and run as it should do.
Once completed you can delete your original "httpd_server_app.conf" file (or keep as a backup), and rename your "httpd.conf" file in it's place as "httpd_server_app.conf". The installer creates a file called "mod_jk.conf" that is added as an include to your Apache conf file - so that's the only change to your config.
It's frustrating that the installer demands a file named a certain way - it should really ask for the file name, but nevermind - sorted now with OS X Mountain Lion, Server App and CF10 all running nicely (fingers crossed)
Many thanks to Giancarlo for helping me out.
