Mac OS X Server 1.2(green box with S)

Hello to everyone!
I have a Power Mac G4 2003 Mirror Drive Doors with dual 1.25 processors. I am in search of a very highly sought program called Mac OS X Server 1.2 - Although, it may or may not run on my system, I am still looking for this as I would like to get it for nostalgic reasons. Given the fact that OS 9 and os 8 can still be had these days, I have searched and searched to no avail for Mac OS X Server 1.2(1.0 is the older one) - I am talking about the one before Mac OS Server X 10.0.
Not only do I like the green box with the S on it, but also just would like to find this and buy it, and maybe tinker with it to get it to work on my G4. I believe I read somewhere that it was OS X Server 1.0 that worked with G3 processors, while 1.2 works with G4 processors.
Any and all help would be appreciated. Again, why is it so easy to find OS 9 and OS 8 and not this? Did Apple not produce enough of these? We are only talking just recently. 1999 or 2000 is not that long ago, and I believe this server software should still be easy to get, but alas! Its not.
Thank you!

Nadav-
You are the only person in the world who wants an old version of Server software. Most operations that need a server are running the latest \[10.5] or next-to-the-latest \[10.4]. There is no market for older versions than that. New versions with unlimited users cost US$1000. So only serious users buy it. There are not so many copies around. The software uses a serial-number system. If you get the discs, but no serial number, it will not run.
Mac OS X Server 10.2, 10.3, or 10.4 will install and run on any G3 on which you can install the same-numbered version of Mac OS X. You can install some newer unsupported versions using popular cheater programs. I have installed 10.3 Server on Beige G3s for use by Not-for-Profit Organizations that could not afford anything more expensive. Most uses for Server are I/O problems, not compute problems, so a fast computer in not needed, just fast Disk Access. When you have multiple Servers tied together, the high-availability of the XServe and XServe RAID are very desirable.

  • Green box with registration marks appears from nowhere

    ...and I'd like to get rid of it, but how and what is it?
    In any AICS3 document I open, my default is now an art board that is 200"x200" with a green rectangle about 60"x12" in its center. The green rectangle has registration marks on its corners. Even if I change the size of my art board to something smaller, the green rectangle remains. I've gone through all the preferences and everything in the View menu, but it is not affected by anything. It does not seem to be a template. Can anyone help me: 1. get rid of this annoying (but apparently benign) rectangle and 2. tell me what it is. It does not seem to do anything. Needless to say, it cannot be selected and is not referred to in any of the palettes. Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Cannot upgrade XServe G5 to Mac OS X Server 10.5

    I have a XServe G5 running Mac OS X Server 10.4.11. I have a Mac OS X Server 10.5 Install DVD with a 10.5 Server Unlimited Client license. When I try to upgrade the installer starts and after I select English language it says that Mac OS X Server cannot be installed on this computer. I have even pulled the hard drive and put it in another XServe G5 as a second hard drive and get the same message. The only issue I can think of is that the Install DVD says that it is part of a hardware bundle. It came with a new Intel XServe that qualified for the free upgrade to OS X 10.6 server so the license is unused. This doesn't make much sense though because all of the documentation says that it should work on my XServe G5 and I even looked at the code and it looks like it will work. The firmware on the G5 is up to date, there is plenty of RAM and HD space. Since this happens so soon in the process it looks like it's drawing from a bad machine code which it shouldn't be. Any ideas?

    You may be right but that's not what the documentation that comes with the DVD and the documents on the DVD state. The Getting Started PDF on my DVD says:
    What You Need to Install Leopard Server
    To install Leopard Server, you need a Macintosh desktop computer or server with:
    An Intel processor or PowerPC G5 or G4 (867 MHz or faster) processor
    At least 1 gigabyte (GB) of random access memory (RAM)
    At least 20 gigabytes (GB) of disk space available
    An active connection to a secure Ethernet network
    Check on all of those. I also looked at the code in the install package and it does return bad machine codes on certain models but not any XServe.
    If I need to contact Apple I will, but that is never even implied in the documentation.

  • New Mac OS Server on network, Windows box can't see other Macs anymore

    I just put a Mac mini server on my network and the only services I have enabled are SMB, AFP and Open Directory. Before I put the server on the network (and if I turn the server off) the Windows 7 Pro machine I have on the network used to be able to see the rest of the Macs on the network in the Network section... I could see them, log on to one, grab files, etc. This also went for the Macs seeing the PC on the network in the Finder. Now that I have the server on the network though, I can't see the PC on my Macs and can't see my Macs on the PC. I can, however, do a "Map network drive" on the PC and enter an address to one of the Macs and connect that way. Anyone know why this could be happening?
    Like I said, if I turn the server off or disconnect it from the network, the Macs will see the PC and the PC will see the Macs, but once its back on the network, they stop seeing each other, so its definitely something the server is doing that's causing it.
    TIA

    Confirm you have unique addresses and unique host names for the IP host names on your network. In absolute specifics, make absolutely certain your Mac OS X Server box is not configured at a conflicting address, or with a host name that conflicts with the Windows 7 box or with some other central and critical network resource such as your firewall or an IP router.
    It's also possible you've got (for instance) a bad cable or a bad NIC and that's jamming up your network, though that's less likely.
    Your Mac OS X Server box requires DNS be configured locally, or within your network.
    Confirm unique host names. Confirm unique IP addresses. You can launch Terminal.app and use the dig command at the bash shell (+dig -x 192.168.1.1+ with whatever the local address, and +ping 192.168.1.1+ again with the local address and not with the 192.168.1.1 value shown, and +dig hostname.example.com+ or such for your domain name) or (if you're not comfortable in bash -- do go learn bash, regardless) then you can use the Network Utility in the Applications > Utilities folder.
    It's also possible there's a problem with the managed switch configuration or such, but that probably isn't in use here.

  • Managing a remote unix box with OSX server apps...

    Aside from running an OSX server, I am in charge of maintaining an external, SUN unix server from my Mac, and I hate using line commands, esp. with how jaded I've become using the nice tools for managing the Mac server. For now I use terminal in order to change passwords, set permissions and so on as the sudo user on the unix box, and use rbrowser to edit cron jobs.
    So, my question is, is there a way to get the OSX server admin tool to think the unix box is an OSX server? And if not, is there a graphical interface to maintain the server (it's running Apache too)? Rbrowser is cool and all, but doesn't let me use sudo for making chnages.
    Thanks for any help.
    Greg

    Bummer about not having the Mac feel on SUN. Life can't always be perfect.
    As far as the Webmin, no, haven't heard of it, but it sounds cool. The trick would be getting a huge client like SD County to let us buy it, then go through all the hoops and red tape to get it installed. Most likely their answer would be "Well, what have you been using this whole time and why isn't that good enough now all of a sudden?".
    So for the time being, I'l have to be happy using RBrowser for file transfers between the test and production servers (beats the pants off of typing scp -p -i over and over again) and editing cron scripts. Too bad it doesn't provide sudo for changing passwords, groups, and so forth.
    I'm this close to having the perfect work environment (the office I work in was all Windows with Dell laptops...until now).

  • Not able to install mac os x server 10.5.4

    Hello,
    I've inherited a MAC g5 from a previous sys admin.
    it had a number of issues so i decided to do a clean install.
    i've set in my os x 10.5.4 server and rebooted that didn't work. when i chose the dvd it just hanged there.
    so i installed a mac pro (came with the g5 ) as i've read in an online how to that described my exact problem. once done i tried installing the server again and same issue happened.
    now i have mac pro on my g5.
    after research it seems that my mac os x server 10.5.4 has another version which is older than the G5. so it cannot be installed.
    i tried using a targeted mode though came into another set of trouble:
    1. tried booting from the dvd using a macbook pro with a fire wire plugged into it.
    result: macbook kept restarting when i chose the mac os x server
    2. tried booting from dvd using an imac.
    result: after choosing the dvd it hangs a bit and then boots normally from hardidisk.
    3. picked an old IMAC and booted from it
    result: it worked, and i installed the mac os x server on one of the HDD in my g5
    once done, i've shut down both, unplugged firewire and then booted the G5
    a grey screen appeared with another hdd in the middle of the screen and it just stayed there.
    Can someone please advise how can i proceed?
    PS: i've contacted the apple reseller, though as our support contract ended they couldn't help.

    The retail disks I've seen in that era were usually black in color. The non-retail disks tended to be gray in color. IIRC, the part number for the 10.5.4 Mac OS X Server Leopard Server retail disk is MB605Z/A.
    If it's not a retail disk, then the contents are usually tailored for a specific Mac box.
    The MacBook Pro would have to be a fairly old model to boot 10.5.4; [here are the Mac Intel minimum OS version requirements (HT1159)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159], and (though there were no MBP PPC boxes AFAIK) [here are the PPC version requirements (HT2191)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2191].
    The "issues" that precipitated this reinstallation sequence could well be a disk or processor or memory or other hardware problem with the server, too.

  • Can't login to Mac OS X server website after password reset

    Hi,
    I set up Mac OS X server for our small company and tried resetting the password of my network account that is managed via profile manager.
    So, under Accounts->User->MYUSERNAME->reset Password, I typed in a new one and hit ok.
    Now I can't login to the server website anymore (for editing our wiki or using profile manager etc.), neither with the new one nor with the old one.
    I already tried different passwords (resetting it again and again), I looked at the password directive, I checked my user name, tried to login from different computers and tried logging in with another account (which worked quite fine, so it's just my account). Finally I searched the internet for a solution for quite some time but didn't find anything similar.
    It would be great, if somebody could offer some advice.
    Best regards.
    Lasse

    Solved it by deleting the user and creating a new one with the same userID.
    Maybe it occured because I marked the "user has to change password after first login" box when resetting the password but didn't yet allow him to do so in the webpages menu?!?

  • Cloning a Mac OS X Server to a remote location

    Scenario: A Mac Mini running Mac OS X Server is in location A and a second Mac Mini running Mac OS X Server is to be acquired and setup at a remote location.
    Desire: Do a nightly backup of Server A to the second Mac Mini so that Server B is a bootable clone of the primary server.
    Question: What is the best software/approach to do this?
    Discussion: I'm familiar with and use SuperDuper, Synchronize Pro and Carbon Copy Cloner for performing file by file backups and synchronization where the hard drives are on the same server ... but I'm not sure if any of these are the best alternative to backup a MAMP Pro installation on the Server (along with other applications and data) to a remote server box.
    I realize that particularly within the Moodle VLE (that will be running on the servers) that absolute links will still point to the primary server but that is not an issue for me. In the event of a catastrophic failure of Server A at least there would be an offsite clone that could be accessed if a few settings were changed.
    BTW: Server A is hosted by a commercial hosting service and no backup drive is available on-site for a file x file backup/synchronization. We do have full access to the server via ARD, Timbuktu Pro, AFP, etc.

    Can you expand your info on the use of these two approaches, particularly the mysql replication
    Well, my approach requires that there's some kind of connectivity between the two machines - preferably a VPN network to secure the traffic, but it doesn't have to be done that way.
    rsync essentially takes two directories - one local and one remote - and compares the differences. Depending on the switches you use it will copy the changes from one system to the other (or both if that's what you prefer). In this case I'd set it to copy the local web directory to the remote machine, so the remote machine has a copy of all the files.
    rsync works best for static files (e.g. .html, .php, etc. in the case of a web application), but shouldn't be used for dynamic files such as your database files.
    As for the data, MySQL has substantial built-in replication routines that are designed to keep multiple database servers in sync. There's far more to it than I can go into here, suffice to say it can maintain a real-time copy of your data on a second, remote machine, and you should read the documentation for the specifics.

  • Green Box Problem in Aperture

    Hey All,
    I've been having a problem in Aperture 2.1.4. Every now and again, I get an ugly green box instead of my image. It can happen when I zoom in, when I crop, when I zoom out, or just about any time I am changing the view of the image. I'm on a 20" iMac (2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) with 3 GB of RAM and am running Snow Leopard 10.6.2.
    I took the machine into an Apple store and they ran extensive tests on the video card and other hardware and everything checked out. Any idea on what's going on? It looks like this:
    http://idisk.mac.com/fourmoshers//Public/GreenBox.tiff
    Message was edited by: Terry Mosher

    Do as the above poster said (terence devlin) and submit a bug report to Apple. You can do it from within the program via the Aperture or File menu (forgot which at the moment).
    The short answer to your assumption is that yes SL does break the use of Aperture for some. (I am one of them). It is not necessarily the Aperture program update (2.1.4) itself as I have reinstalled Aperture on Leopard with all updates (10.5.8 and 2.1.4) and have had no issues.
    As far as I can tell, the problem lies in the card drivers, Snow Leopard Code and Aperture programming code regarding OpenGL and/or CoreGraphics.
    To answer your anticipated question about my trouble shooting:
    I have done (in no particular order) the font, plist, permissions, new user account, new library, rebuild library, vacuum library, visual inspection of the motherboard (internal) capacitors, voltage/current checks on power supply, new ram, new HD...it became a quest as you can see.... I changed system settings, tried hidden parameter settings, ran developer toolkit utilities to search for error messages and odd behavior. I ran console and watched each line by line message as I performed each Aperture adjustment/task (or at least tried to...)
    Finally I reinstalled both Operating Systems (Leopard and Snow Leopard) separately on new drives AND installed Aperture 2.1.4 with a 150GB 30,000 image library on each drive separately. No peripherals, clean systems. No haxies (I do not use them) Nothing but the OS and Aperture and the same library. Aperture performed flawlessly on an external bootable drive in Leopard but not in Snow Leopard..in fact it performed worse and I had the corruption duly noted above and elsewhere.
    In my opinion, Apple should be shamed for being so tight lipped about this. It is a serious flaw that should be acknowledged to users. But to admit this without a patch or software solution in the works is an unspoken implication to have customers purchase new computers for a fix.
    Anyone notice the released updates for Logic Pro (2 since the release of SL) and Mainstage (also 2 since the release of SL) and Remote Desktop (also 2 since release of SL).....you get the idea? Aperture? Zilch.

  • WebObjects and Apache2.2 on Mac OS X Server (Snow Leopard)

    I have been configuring a new Mac Mini Server with the latest version of Mac OS X Server.
    Typically we have been using Max OS X (non-server) in development environment and were following our instructions on how we set up all our boxes.  In setting up our new installation on the "server edition" we came across something that caused up some pause.
    After we got our WebObjects application launched through JavaMonitor, it attempted to open Safari, but "page" could not be found.  We suspected that that WebObjects Adaptor was not being utilized.
    Looking through the Apache logs we found this:
    script not found or unable to stat: /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/WebObjects
    We checked our httpd.conf (Apache 2.2.17).  This file is slightly different that the one for our generic (non-server) Mac OS X Snow Leopard installations.  It even mentions that in the comments at the top of httpd.conf file that ships with Mac OS X Server
    We had included the following as we normally do -
    Include /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/apache.conf
    But in order to get WebObjects to kick in, we needed to comment out the line
    #          ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/
    Once we did that... boom... app was working fine.  Since all that is running on this box is WebObjects and Oracle, we are happy with this solution. Moral of the post is that the httpd.conf file supplied is different between "Mac OS X" and "Mac OS X Server" editions. 
    Note:  We do not even see the ScriptAlias line in our non-server httpd.conf.
    We were clued into this from a previous discussion on here (and its related replies). http://discussions.apple.com/message/12786408#12786408
    Hope this helps someone else.

    If you have another administrative username (such as the Open Directory (OD) Administrator (diradmin) username, then you can use that to reset the password. 
    If you don't have another administrative password including a local administrator and if it's your Open Directory Administrator password that you've forgotten, then you'll want to follow HT1194 Mac OS X Server: How to reset the Open Directory administrator password for the sequence used to reset the OD access.  (The header of that article lists up through 10.5, but the text also lists 10.6.)
    Once you're back in, you'll probably want to consider adding a back-up directory administrator account with an obscure password, and write down that password and stick it in a fireproof safe somewhere, or maybe in a note in your Keychain of your own OS X client system, or some other secure location.  I do that with a few servers, storing that data with full-disk copies of the server backups, etc.

  • Installing iWork on Mac OS X Server

    I've installed my copy of iWork '06 on Mac OS X Server because I need to be able to read some Pages files on the development box. It installed fine (no errors) but when I try to launch Pages I get weird behaviour from the App. It's screens won't render or when it does bring up the pages document window it is not usable.
    Does anyone know if you are supposed to be able to run iWork on Mac OS X Server? (since the install did not stop it)

    Ok. I've did a bit more debugging. Console shows the following when you launch Pages.

    Now I don't have any non-server Mac OS X machines here. Any know any apps that can convert Pages or Keynote files to Word or NeoOffice readable formats?

  • Mac OS X Server Tiger and Windows XP SP2 (Yes I know not a good Idea)

    Hi Everybody
    I have an issue. It have setup all the windows services as is said in the apple guid and I can't get it to work.
    It seams to be having trouble connecting to the server / finding the server. And guesses on why this mite be. I have had issues with the DNS on the PC's as well however it works fine on the Mac's.

    Not very specific about your problem.
    But I think it may because you need the Win clients to use the tiger server as a WINS box.
    In your windows IP settings enter the ip of the server under 'WINS'

  • Mac OS X Server 1-to-1 Routing: Multiple DSL Static IPs

    Hi all -
    Question here regarding Mac OS X Server 10.4's ability to handle multiple static IP's coming from my DSL ISP. Can this be handled through the Server Admin GUI or does it need to be done in Terminal with iptables or something similar?
    My ultimate goal is to send 1 of the static IPs to a Mac Pro, another to a Mini, another to a DVR, etc.
    As a piggyback question - what is the general consensus here on using a Mac Pro or Xserve with Gateway Setup Assistant as a VPN router in place of a traditional SonicWALL / Linksys / Netgear, etc?
    Thanks in advance.
    Eric

    >As a piggyback question - what is the general consensus here on using a Mac Pro or Xserve with Gateway Setup Assistant as a VPN router in place of a traditional SonicWALL / Linksys / Netgear, etc?
    Go with the traditional box.
    For a few bucks you get a box that's designed for that kind of thing, has a far better interface for managing it, and far more fine-grained control over what traffic can come through.
    In addition to that, by having a dedicated hardware router/firewall/NAT device you avoid the chance to leak any services to the public - if you're like most people, your gateway machine isn't just running as a gateway - it's also got sshd running, maybe a web server, file server, DNS server, possible even running as a directory server.
    Since this gateway machine, by definition, has its proverbial *** hanging out in the wind there's a possibility that these services could be compromised by remote hackers.
    By using a dedicated hardware box you can be very specific about what incoming traffic you want to allow, completely insulating your server from the outside world except for the services you know you really want to be public.

Maybe you are looking for
