Lion Server Migration OK- But wiki dead

Hi,
We did an almost flawless upgrade to Lion from 10.6.8 server....
However Wiki's seem to have died...
I did a second manual migration of the wiki data... but still dead....
Help....

OK it was pretty dead.
Seems no matter what I did if web services were off Wiki's worked, but if I enabled web services the Wiki's died.
Looks like like an uncontrolled http redirect is happening.
I stripped all the conf files out of the apache2 directory and the same thing happened afterI set all the sites up again...
So I'm stuck. I rolled the server back and have left on Snow Leopard.

Attached videos in Lion Server (10.7.2) Wiki won't play or stream?

Hello,
When we attach videos in the Lion Server (10.7.2) Wiki, they won't play/stream. Has anyone got this to work?
we have tried multiple Quicktime formats (.mov, .qt, .m4v, etc. - all with a variety of codecs that are native to QT/Apple)
we have tried viewing and posting from both OSX and Windows
once you click on the button to "play video", it gets stuck while loading
in other browsers it says additional software is needed to play this and displays the QT "Q" with a question mark
We don't have podcast services turned on (but I don't think this matters?). We are trying to view on desktop computers, not iPhone or iPad.
Any help or insight is appreciated. Thank in advance for your replies.

One thing that jumps out from your brief description of the problem is a bug in the persent iteration of Lion Server that occurs when the "Dedicate system resources to server services" box is checked (or, honestly, when it's unchecked too -- read on). This is located within Server.app. in the left pane, select your machine under the hardware section. The second tab, settings, contains this option. I'd try either ticking or unticking the box and then restarting and then trying to start those services again. Though the bug was initially reported as related to this similar problem (the one you describe) occurring when this box is checked, I've found that toggling between on to off, or off to on (depending on the current state) and then restarting, seems to help get things going again. Sometimes this has to be done twice. As well, until Apple issues a fix for these Server.app related problems, it's best, once you get your server configured, to keep from opening Server.app when possible. Just opening it seems to cause problems. One example of this is checking the mail quota box and entering a value. It seems to stick fine, but when Server.app is opened again, the box is unchecked once again. This one happens every time.

Server Migration gone bad - several issues - help.

I migrated my Snow Leopard Server to Lion Server and am so frustrated right now. I've been reading posts on the issues below, but have yet to find a solution that works. I could use some help on:
- moving user and groups. I made an LDAP archive of the old server, but don't know how to bring in the users and groups.
- Before doing anything I need the Lion server to be an open directory master, but I keep getting this error "The hostname does not resolve to any configured address. Please ensure your hostname and network configuration." WHAT WOULD BE CORRECT?
- I went into terminal (per message boards) and did the sudo changeip -checkhostname which returned my server's correct internal LAN ip address and current hostname, but it also said "The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool."
- I've tried the new Server.app and Server admin tool and can't seem to make any progress on this.
I need some guidance on what's wrong, what the correct settings should be, and how to move forward. The message boards are good, but many leave out very important information like what things should look like. I did the migration process according to the Lion server migration manual, but even that leaves out pertinent information.
Thanks for any advice.
MacMini Server 10.7.1

Yep, did all that already before the post. I get to a screen where it has Directory Administrator for the name, diradmin for account name, and I put in the password I used to set this machine up and I still get the message about The hostname does not resolve to any configured address. Please ensure your hostname and network configuration."
I don't understand why I should change the host name. It has the same host name as the previous server which is what I want to keep.
Also, in reading the migration manual, my understanding is that the only way to import users and groups while maintining the passwords and such is to do an LDAP archive, which I did. When I try to use server admin on my Lion server and use the archive feature to restore from my LDAP backup, I can't because it will only work for Open Directory masters. I am trying to make my Lion Server an OD master, but can't get anywhere.
The server migration is the worst I've ever seen in setting up a Mac. I just don't know where to go from here. It seems I can't get the OD master to work until I get the hostname resolved but I don't know what that means - resolved to what? It's exactly as I want it - the same host name as my previous server (which is not on the LAN anymore by the way so it can't interfere with this new server).

Lion server upgrade broke wikis

I had several virtural domains set up on snow leopard server
mydomain.com1
mydomain.com2
etc...
They were all in our dns and working properly.
However, after upgrading to lion server none of the wikis work. Typeing in the url of an old wiki gives the message "Server Error" in the browser, and throws a "nstat_lookup_entry failed 2" message in console.
I have a green light next to Wiki in the new Server App, but a message that says "Error Reading Settings".
Any help with which logs I should be looking at to figure out what is going on would be much appreciated.

I know this is not the thing to do but I am reposting this query in OX X server forum.

How can I reset my password via Lion Server web front-end?

I'm trying to enable my users to be able to change their passwords from the default value I've given them. This can be done from the user's profile page but when with the new Lion Server web interface, I select the "Change Password" at the bottom of the page and I get the following result:
Changing passwords is turned off.
You can turn it on by using the Server app on the server.
I'm assuming I cannot use the Server app on my client computer (a MacBook Pro) so I use the Server app on the server. I cannot find out how to enable this feature. I've been all over the Lion Server help documentation but can't find out how.
I've selected my server in the Hardware section on the left-hand side of the Server app and gone to the Settings tab and checked the "Enable screen sharing and remote management" box but I still get the message above.
Thanks in advance...

You will have to enabled "Profile Manager" tab.
Inside this tab, enable also the "Device Management", which will start a network directory.
This make sense for a centralized user mgmt.
But a bit not user-friendly enough.
After setting above two,
go back to the "Web" tab, and click the pencil to see the grayed-out activated.

A lot of problems with Lion Server in Mac Mini Server

I have a new Mac Mini Server and I have a lot of problems.
The server application works well for a day, then start to have problem, for example: I can not change the configuration of the share folder, I add a new user but he can not see some folders.
Then if I login the Mac Mini with another user, he can not see the starting folder and if you open a new folder you see a lot of strange documents.
Later, with administrator user, I can not login the server application, I put the user name and password but it refuses it (user name and passowrd are correct)
In the end I also can not login the computer.
I reinstalled the Lion Server 2 times but nothing change, after 2 days it doesn't work like before.
I'm very upset, this is the first time in more then 20 year I have a problem with an Apple computer.
What can I do?
Please help me
Thanks

Turribeach, Thanks for you time.

Do I need fetchmail with Lion Server

Do I still need to install and configure fetchmail to download mail from my isp to my email server or has this functionality been added to the new lion server?

/usr/bin/fetchmail
It seems to be installed.
However, depending on your ISP, there may be other/better ways to get your mail on your Lion Server...but if you're familiar with Fetchmail, it is indeed there.

Lion Server install failed - yet still labelled as installed in MAS

On my lion test machine, I decided to test Lion Server, so I of course got the redemption code, popped it all in. When the actual "download" started - it instantly said it was complete - I never saw the download icon in the dock for it. Under MAS Purchases tab, I see Lion Server as "installed" - but of course, there is no way it could be, especially not without a reboot.
I rebooted. Still only Lion Client.
I've tried pkgutil --forgetpkg com.apple.Server, but its still listed as "installed" in MAS. I don't see anything /Applications, or / that could be a "Lion Server Installer".
Any ideas how to flip the "install" switch, so I can try re-installing in MAS?

Failure migrating wiki to Mountain Lion Server with wikiadmin, value is out of range for type integer

We are trying to migrate our 10.6.8 wikis from the OS X Server to our new Mountain Lion OS X Server. I am using "wikiadmin migration -r <collaboration directory> -g <wiki name>" to migrate each wiki individually. We have about 30 wikis in the old server, three of which fail to migrate, all with the same problem (below). The process runs successfully for a while, but ultimately fails and rolls back the transaction. It appears there is some problem trying to generate a unique filename, perhaps for some of the uploaded files?
Has anyone else seen this error? large amount of pages, content, and attachments in these wikis and just recreating them in the new server would be a monumental task. Some of these attachments include videos and other large files, not sure if that might contribute to the problem.

Okay, so a little more detail for you…
If I can manage to restart the server without the wiki service on, everything else seems to work fine (including the web service running the default home page) and "serveradmin fullstatus wiki" will report that the service is stopped.
But as soon as I try to start the wiki service, it never finishes, and it prevents the web service from working properly anymore. i.e. I get a 502 Proxy Error instead of the OS X Server default home page. It's after the attempted wiki start that "serveradmin fullstatus wiki" starts to give the
serveradmin[2373:707] outstanding requests are: (
        Command = getState;
        Module = "servermgr_wiki";
        Timestamp = "2012-10-25 16:22:15 +0000";
error. And then I can't stop the wiki service - even "serveradmin stop wiki" gives the same "outstanding requests" message.
This time I tried to stop the wiki from Server app and I got this error:
An error occurred on the server while processing a command.
The error occurred while processing a command of type 'getState' in plug-in 'servermgr_wiki'.
If it's helpful at all, I've notice the following in my log files that seem related, but I have no idea how to fix - it almost seems lie the migration of the wiki failed from 10.7 to 10.8:
collabd[767]: [CSConnectionPool:141 6a92000 +14027ms] Schema is STILL out of date (14 < 69) after launching wikiadmin, update failed! collabd will refuse to run until this is fixed.
I'm really pulling my hair out over here, and have no idea what to try next?
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!

Migrating wiki from Leopard Server (10.5) to Lion Server

Is there any way to migrate Wiki Server data from Leopard Server (i.e. 10.5 not 10.6) to Lion Server without upgrading to Snow Leopard first. I'm happy to set up everything else afresh but I've migrated wiki data before and it was a nightmare.
The situation we'll soon be in is needing to migrate wiki data on a PowerPC mac running Leopard Server to a new Power Mac pre-installed with Lion Server.

From: http://images.apple.com/macosx/server/docs/Upgrading_and_Migrating_v10.7.pdf
Need to set up Lion Server first, then:
Copy the wiki data located in /Library/Collaboration/ by default or in the location specified in Server Admin on the v10.5.8 or later server to a local volume Lion Server can access.
Use the following steps to manually migrate your Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later server’s Wiki data to Lion Server.
If you are migrating a v10.5.8 wiki server’s data, make sure Lion Server is bound to the same Open Directory master as the v10.5.8 server, so the ACLs for wikis can convert. If not, wikis are only readable or writeable by admins, and ACLs must be reset.
To migrate wiki data:
1 Start Wiki service in the Server app.
2 Enter the following command.
sudo wikiadmin migrate -r /path/to/collaboration/folder

Simple guide to Migrate SL Server Wiki 10.6.8 to Lion Server 10.7.2

These instructions assumes that you already have the Wiki server functional on the new OSX Lion Server 10.7.2 and that you are logged in as a system administrator.
On the SL Server, browse to \Library\Collaboration and right click on the Collaboration folder and click "Get Info"
Scroll all the way to the bottom and expand "Sharing & Permissions"
If the Lock icon shows to be locked, click it and enter an Administrators password associated with the user account you are logged in under. Make sure the permissions for "Everyone" are set to "Read & Write". Then click on the small Gear icon below that and select "Apply to Enclosed Items". It will ask you if you are sure, tell it yes.
Now copy the Collaborations folder to the new Lion Server. Create the following directory to save the files too. \myoldwiki It will probably ask you to authenticate making a new folder at the root of the drive. So if prompted, tell it to allow and enter your administrator password is prompted. So now you have \myoldwiki\collaboration at the root of your new lion server.
Open Safari and browse to http://localhost on your Lion Server to verify that your existing server is working. If you get the "Welcome to OS X Lion Server" page with several icons for My page, Updates, Wikis, People, & Podcasts then your server is working. If not, see "Setting up OS X Lion Wiki Server". (An article that has not yet been written-Soon to follow)
If you click on Wikis, and if this is a fresh install, you will not see any wiki pages listed. On the top right of the web page, click on the + sign to create a new wiki. You can name it Test Wiki like I did and then create the page. Once created, go to it to make sure that its there.
Once your new Wiki server is confirmed to be functional, open terminal and enter the following command:
sudo wikiadmin migrate -r /myoldwiki/collaboration
Then press Enter/Return. Enter your users password if prompted. (Remember, passwords do not use echo in terminal so you will not see your password as you type it. Press Enter/Return again and you should see something similar to the following:

Depending on the size of your wiki on SL Server, and depending on how many pages and attachments you have installed on it, this process could take anywhere from several seconds to several minutes. Also your entry may vary from mine above depending on how many pages you have as well. I currently only have 6 pages as you can see. Overall, the end result is what you want to see: "Migration complete". This is a very good sign.
If you get a lot of errors like i did my first time trying to do this, I found that i forgot to turn on and verify that my new Lion Server web server and wiki page were fully functional prior to starting the migration. So if you get several errors that look similar to this.......

You need to check your web server and wiki settings again.
Once everything is complete, you will need to go into your Server app on Lion Server and turn off the web server and also the wiki server. After about a minute or so, restart the web server then the wiki server and give it about 30 seconds or so to completely come back online. Now browse to http://localhost on the Lion Server and you should once again see the "Welcome to OS X Lion Server" page. Click on wikis and you should see the list of wikis you imported as well as the test wiki you created earlier. This will confirm that the files have been truly copied to the proper location for wikis on the new Lion Server.
At this point, your old wiki pages are ready to be used on your new OS X Lion Server.
There is a drawback with this process. Since you are moving ONLY the wiki database over to the new machine, all of the original users and groups is not transferred. As you can see i have 6 wikis and 2 users. This process doe not import the users and their configurations over to the new server. That process is completed by "Exporting" the "Server Admin Settings" & "Service Settings" from the SL Server "Server Admin" and importing them in the reversed fashion on the new Lion Server using Server Admin on the new server. This, however, is for another tutorial yet to be written. Mostly because i have yet to do it.
Good Luck.....

What to do when SLS - Lion Server Upgrade & Migration Fail

Hi everyone,
I've had a tough time over the past week trying to updating my SLS to LS. (It was a slow week at the office so despite the warnings in these discussions I wasn't disturbing anyone, so I thought I'd try...) Both an upgrade to the current running system and a clean install on a wipe of that hard drive stall at the "Configuring Services" "Upgrading services" screen of the set up process. The migration path eventually fails, and as far as I can tell, it seems that the upgrade path just stays there forever.
Don't worry - I'm doing this all on a Super Duper! clone of my primary drive, so I can go back to SLS whenever I need to.
BUT, I can tell that the server's status is at least partially okay, even in this stalled setup state - iChat seems to work on various clients, and I can use Server Admin to see stats and services, etc.
So despite the discomfort of a failed install, part of me feels like I'll be fine with the LS if I can just figure out how to move my old data into the right places for the new system to use it. But I can't find any guidance for that. I'm looking to migrate OD (seems to have migrated fine), iCal, iChat, Address Book, Wikis, Time Machine, and File Sharing (which should be trivial to set up, I reckon).
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks very much,
Willhaus

Okay, so I've had some marginal success.
After leaving the hung install for a ridiculous amount of time (24+ hours), I realized that I could click the help button, and from the help window click the "further info about Lion Server" link to launch Safari. That gave me access to Software Update from the Apple menu, which then let me install the latest Safari update which conveniently enough requires a restart.
After restart, the Server Migration Assistant kicked in again, but failed quickly in the upgrading services stage. Another restart, and the sever finally booted more or less normally.
The strange thing was that although chat services worked fine during the hung install, all OD-related services stopped working after restarting. Turns out there were no users or groups in OD. Importing them from an OD archive, though, restored them.
So now iChat works great (even the old chat longs migrated successfully), and AFP is properly sharing our volumes across our studio's network. So our server is limping along.
The other services we need that aren't up yet are Wiki and iCal. Some info about those:
Wiki: administrators can log in and see all wikis just fine. That's awesome because it means the data migrated successfully. Any non-admin users can log in, but are then get a wiki-styled page that says simply "No wikis found". It's as if they don't have permissions to see the wikis, even though in Server.app they belong to the groups that the wikis are associated with. I've tried removing and re-adding users to groups, but that doesn't seem to do it. Any ideas how to fix this?
Calendar: While I can't get this to work, it's not like it's completely lifeless. An account in a client Lion iCal configured with the proper Lion settings returns an error that reads:
"The Server is Busy or Unavailable.
"The server at myserver.com is currently unable to handle the connection for account “ Calendars” due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. If this continues you should contact the server administrator.
"You may try to connect to the server again or take the account offline."
As a logged in administrator, in a wiki clicking on Calendar in the nab bar goes to the calendar style page with an unending dialogue box that reads "Getting events from server". And clicking on Calendar from Home page footer takes me to the URL https://myserver.com/webcal with an error that says:
"Service Temporarily Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Apache/2.2.20 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.20 OpenSSL/0.9.8r DAV/2 Server at myserver.com Port 443"
Again, at least I'm confident that the data migrated properly - I can find all the calendar data in it's proper new location - but either the service won't start or something's not configured correctly. I've tried chaining the hostname and restarting the service about a billion times. I've got no idea what to try next. Any ideas?
Thank you so much,
Willhaus

How to keep Lion Server wiki service running in bootcamp windows?

I know this is a stupid question, but ...
I used to run mac mini server as the wiki & file sharing server within my team, and use vmware to load the win7 on the bootcamp partition to do some jobs which need M$ visual studio.
Now I have some new things to do with windows phone7, but unlike other simulators, windows phone7 is extremely slow if I run it in the vmware. I have to boot bootcamp and run the emulator natively, meanwhile I don't want to stop the Lion server especially the wiki services.
So the question comes:
Is there a way to migrate the existing Lion server contents to a Windows? Perhaps I need to setup windows+apache+mysql+php? It seems not a easy way.
Or anyway to boot the existing Lion partition in a windows virtual machine? Some tips? Many thanks!

Snow Leopard did the same if you used the GUI. I responded to you in your other thread. You can also simply use a different Apache. Use Macports to install your own apache, which can be managed via command line or webmin. Thus, the apple one deals with Apple stuff, and, yours deals with everything else.

Move just wikis to new Lion server (redirect one virtual host)

I have a bunch of services on my Mac Pro with Snow Leopard Server, including file sharing, VPN, subversion, wikis, several websites, a few webapps, etc. I don't want to upgrade that server right now, but I'd like to try upgrading the wikis to Lion Server and Wiki Server 3.
How could I move the wiki's to Lion Server on another machine? They are all accessed through a seperate virtual host.
We only have one public IP right now (I maybe could get a second public IP but don't want to just for this.) Everything hits my router (dd-wrt device, so quite configurable) which sends port 80 (and most other ports) to my snow leopard server.
One idea would be to have the router redirect another port (8080 or something) to the new lion server, and then put a redirect page on the original wiki address (port 80) to redirect over to 8080, which would then go to the other server. But that's not really ideal because then the users of my wiki would see it on a new port and a lot of times ports other than 80 are blocked by firewalls (not my firewall, but firewalls closer to my users.)
So does anyone have an other ideas on how to redirect the traffic of one virtual host to another internal machine behind NAT?
Separate question: any experience migrating a wiki from Wiki Server 2 to Wiki Server 3? Did it work well?

The best way to do this is to take the contents of /Library/Collaboration and put it in a location accessible from your newly set up Lion install. In Server.app, enable Wiki, and run:
     sudo wikiadmin migrate -r /Path/To/Library/Collaboration
After that, start the wiki and you should be good to go. You should bind your Lion server to the same Directory as the Snow Leopard server, to ensure permissions and users carry across successfully.
