If you are using PureFTP, then use it.
Server Admin is NOT designed to work in conjunction with non-Apple, 3rd-party products, or non-Apple configs of 3rd-party items such as Postfix or Amavisd, and certainly not for non-Apple-provided ftp services. Ignore Server Admin completely for FTP if you are using PureFTP.

Mac os x server software update data location

Does anyone know how to change the data location of Mac OS X Server (v3) Software Update?
I'd like to move it to a large RAID permanently connected to the server but I can't find the command in serveradmin.
Cheers,
Kirk

Why not move the whole boot disk and Serve.app and the rest out to the RAID array? It's not like OS X is that big a hunk lately in comparison with the size of various RAID arrays, and relocating the whole configuration means you won't have to deal with a piecemeal relocation, nor any future upgrade weirdnesses that might arise from the relocation.
That approach aside, Mavericks Server storage is mostly under the /Library/Server path. I haven't tried relocating indidual hunks yet, either.
Ah, slightly misread... You could shut off Software Update entirely, and use Reposado. That'll let you do what you want.
The other hunk you'd probably want to move is the Caching Server.

What is the best mail server software, compatible with G5 and OS X 10.5.8?

Hello.
I want to install/set up a mailserver on Mac OS X 10.5.8.
It will host approximately 35users, should have pop, imap, spam protection, webmail/admin interface, routing feature, all the usual stuff, I'm doing this because we often have to recieve very large files and having a mailserver on local network makes working with them so much faster. What would you recommend?
Thanks in advance.

There isn't enough data in your post to create an informed answer.
For one, are you talking Mac OS X client, or Server?
Mac OS X Server already includes all the various mail server components you talk about, and it's based on Postfix, one of the most popular open source mail servers around.
Secondly, having your own mail server will only be 'so much faster' for local users sending/receiving local mail (i.e. from users on the same network). Every other email has to go out (or come in) over your office internet connection and having your own mail server doesn't change that one bit.
At that point, if you're only talking local users, it sounds like what you want is a file server, not a mail server. Mail is not designed for large file transfers.
Third, even if you don't want Mac OS X Server's solution, and you can deal with the bandwidth, you haven't mentioned cost - what's your budget here. You won't find a free/open source solution that's more complete and easier to use than Apple's bundle, so now you're into the commerical offerings. All of them charge, typically per user and some of them (as already mentioned) are mothballing their PPC support, meaning any invenstment in their option might be short-lived.
So I think you need to better state your goals and ideals before you can find the 'best' solution (if any of them are really 'better' than any other).

Looking for a client/server that supports multiple protocol and delivery

Hi all, I don't know if this the right place to ask my question,here it goes.
I am looking to develop a client-server that supports multiple protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS etc. I am looking for a framework( i don't know if that is correct or I need some kind of web-service (soap etc)) that would manage connection, security etc. I would like to like to devote most of my time in developing business objects with multiple delivery mechanism such as sending serilized java objects, xml message or soap message, or in some case JMS message as well. So I need a client server that can come in via TCP/IP or HTTP or anyother industry standard protocol and I should be able to service him with pub/sub model and also request/response model as well.
I don't know if I had explained what I need, I would like to know what technologies I should be evaluating and which direction I should be heading... Also the server I'm developing should be free of Java constraints if needed...
Also this service is not webbased service as now but if need arises I should have a flexibilty to make them web enabled in future. Also I would like to work with open source webservers or appservers if I need

"i3 was created because wmii, our favorite window manager at the time, didn't provide some features we wanted (multi-monitor done right, for example), had some bugs, didn't progress since quite some time and wasn't easy to hack at all (source code comments/documentation completely lacking). Still, we think the wmii developers and contributors did a great job. Thank you for inspiring us to create i3. "
To change the border of the current client, you can use bn to use the normal border (including window title), bp to use a 1-pixel border (no window title) and bb to make the client borderless. There is also bt which will toggle the different border styles.
Examples:
bindsym Mod1+t bn
bindsym Mod1+y bp
bindsym Mod1+u bb
or put in your config file

Mac Mini file server with 10.5.8 and folder permissions

Our office has a Mac Mini we use as a file server. We each connect over our network with a common user. All of the folders we use are on the root. When one creates a subfolder, the permissions on the new folder are read only. One has to go on to the mini and reset the permissions rw- for 'everyone' then all is well. Is there a way to create a user which we would use to connect from our own mac that will be allowed to create folders with rw- permissions?

If you are using the Go menu "Connect to Server" and logging in with a generic Server User-name and password, the permissions of any files you create should be those of the Server User with which you logged in.
If you are just clicking on a sidebar item and using the Finder WITHOUT logging in as a unique User on the Server, the files you create will be owned by the Creator (not the generic Server User) and follow the Creator's permissions.
I find I am sometimes already connected as a guest, and the login dialog does not come up. If I want specific permissions on the Server, I need to eject the Server drive and Connect to Server again. This time I get the login dialog and can enter the username I desire.

Anti-Virus Solutions For Mac OS X Server 10.3/10.4 and clients

Hello. I am currently researching an anti-virus solution, for our network, consisting around 60% Mac's.
Does anyone know of any decent packages, that I could implement, I have looked at a few, and I'm not confident in using them, mainly from prior experience, with standalone units, let alone on a network.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated !!

Done

Is the mac mini server the same hardware as the other mac minis (except for the quad core i7 and dual hard drives) with different software or is it configured differently?

I have a mac mini with an i7 dual core processor. It is perceptably slower than my macbook pro with a quad core i7. Does the mac mini server have the same hardware configuation as the regular mac mini with server software or is the hardware different (aside from the i7 quad core and dual hard drives)? I want a mini with a quad core i7...

Your assumption is correct. The server does however only
have the Intel HD3000 graphics like the base model with
no option, at this time, for the discrete graphics chip. So,
depending on what you are using it for, that could be a deal
breaker. Remember that your MBP does have a discrete
graphics chip.
I have a 2011 Mini Server connected to a Thunderbolt display
that gets used as an engineering workstation and general
personal use (some photo editing, LP restoraton, general
internet browsing). You simply just not enable any of the
server services. I find the combination to work quite well
for my purposes. I also have a 13" 2.7 GHz i7 Macbook Pro
which is pretty much strictly for work. As far as CPU
power it is pretty much equivelent to your Mini. For the most
part I find the Mini does outperfom my MBP. I heavily use
Parallels and Windows7 virtual machines, so the more cores
the better.
So, If you do a lot of CPU intensive stuff that is multithreaded,
the Server may help. If it is graphics intensive and your software
heavily leaverages the GPU, you may actually take a hit on
performance.

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.

Mac OS X Server: the best option?

We are an expanding small design/web creation business moving soon from 6 to 9 team members. Workstations are all stand-alone in terms of software, which ranges from Office X to full Macromedia Studio suite etc. running over a wireless 11g network and 8Mbps DSL. Macs range from G5 PPC's to latest intel chip iMacs and MacBook Pros (oh, and a Sony Vaio desktop PC) . I would be really grateful if the group would comment/confirm if Mac OS X server would be a logical step and be worth the expense - literally but also in the time required to learn/setup/run (I do have a technical background)!
I am thinking of running Mac OS X server from an existing G5 PPC (1.6GHz, 768Mb, 80HD) - have looked at the Xserve, we simply do not have the space/infrastructure for a rack solution. My reasons for looking at a OS X Server are:
- Minimise time spent on maintenance: boot all mac workstations from single OS image on the server - use this to mainatain latest updates.
- Centralise storage and backup: plan to use an external hot-swap RAID.
- Split workstations into defined groups: 'admin' (using mainly office) and 'designer' (creative software) and manage access rights to files.
- provide more integrated iCal, Mail and Address Book services (not sure what is on offer as we already do some of this via .Mac).
It makes sense to me to run network versions of core software (from the server), but I understand that this is not possible - or cost is prohibitive? We also have various individual requirements, for example people using laptops at work, home or travelling (how do they tap into the server, what would the benefit be) and also the need for considerable amounts of HD memory for the designers...
My apologies for typing so much, but wanted to give an overall status - so have I missed anything? What more can OS X Server bring to make our lives more effiecient/effective?!! I'm itching to buy a copy, but really need to justify it.
Thanks...

Hi & welcome to the forums.
running over a wireless 11g network
As designers, most likely working with large files, you will appreaciate wires if you can get them in.
I would be really grateful
if the group would comment/confirm if Mac OS X server
would be a logical step and be worth the expense -
literally but also in the time required to
learn/setup/run (I do have a technical background)!
Yes, definitely.
I am thinking of running Mac OS X server from an
existing G5 PPC (1.6GHz, 768Mb, 80HD)
Fine. Remember you have the option of a 10-user version of Mac OS X Server software. This will save you plenty of £'s.
boot all mac
workstations from single OS image on the server - use
this to mainatain latest updates.
NetBoot (as this is called) would be a non-starter over a wireless network. In any case, the time spent config'g, tweaking, troubleshooting, and downtime (due to sngle point of failure) with netboot can be extensive.
I suggest you spend your time creating a perfect, STABLE, master image, then distribute this to other machines using NetRestore. Maintain a list of changes/updates to the cleints and update your image every 6 months or so.
- Centralise storage and backup: plan to use an
external hot-swap RAID.
Good idea.
- Split workstations into defined groups: 'admin'
(using mainly office) and 'designer' (creative
software) and manage access rights to files.
Good idea. You can use WorkGroup Maanager to fine tune what users are able to see on the network, which applications they are able to use and how their desktops appear. This can be done at User, Group or Computer level.
- provide more integrated iCal, Mail and Address Book
services (not sure what is on offer as we already do
some of this via .Mac).
Mail, yes.
Unfortunately iCal & AddressBook are still non-starters in terms of multi-user sharing. Look to Leopard in Q2 2007 to update this.
It makes sense to me to run network versions of core
software (from the server), but I understand that
this is not possible - or cost is prohibitive?
Just run your apps locally. Especially if you only have wireless.
We
also have various individual requirements, for
example people using laptops at work, home or
travelling (how do they tap into the server, what
would the benefit be)
VPN is your friend.
Also, look into Mobile Home Directories which will sync your users's data to/from the server at each login. When they are awy from the office they will have all their files with them. And you will have a server-side copy for your backups.
My apologies for typing so much, but wanted to give
an overall status - so have I missed anything?
Probably
On the fly, I would say look outside of OSX Server for your mailserver.
FTP services are also weak in OSX Server.
There are lots of 3rd party options for both, though.
What
more can OS X Server bring to make our lives more
effiecient/effective?!! I'm itching to buy a copy,
but really need to justify it.
Full server documentation is here at http://www.apple.com/server/documentation/ Take a look at Appendix B of the Getting Started guide for a practical example of how a setup like yours may be config'd.
Hope this helps,
b.

Share DVD-RW with mac os x server 10.4.7

Hello,
i've an iBook G3 with Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 installed and a LaCie DVD-RW attached. Is it possible to share and mount the DVD drive through internet and burn data that i've on a PowerBook G4 connected to the same network, with Toast or iTunes?
thank you
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) the last one PowerBook, 1 Go RAM

Hi
Personally I do not have mush experience with netboot
The 10.4.7 DVD you purchased is possibly the Intel version of OS X Server?
I would run the combo updater to bring your 10.4.0 version up to the latest and then see if netboot works
You can download the updater from here-
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxserver10410comboupdateuniversal.htm l
Edit-
Whoops you will need the 10.4.7 combo update first before using the above updater, get it here-

How do I install Mac OS X-Server on my Intel Base-Dell XPS? What's I need to have for this installation?

I have Dell XPS with Quad core Intel CPU, 4 GB RAM and 500GB HDD + 500GB RAID. I really want to install Mac OS X Server on it but I can not find where to buy OS X Server and I'm not sure that it suitable to my XPS, I'm afraid that is not acceptable to install. Anyone have idea about this please give me some information,thank you.

Hello Benz_KU,
I am afraid you won't be able to install Mac OS X server on you Dell computer. There are technical reasons for that as well as legal reasons: according to the "Software License Agreement for Mac OS X Server":
"This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Mac OS X Server software (the “Mac OS X Server Software”) on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time."
Best regards

Mac os X Server Universal Binary install upgrade possible ?

Has anyone attempted the following upgrade pattern with the new mac pros with mac os X Universal Binary build ?
Take your PowerPC mac os X server build to an external hard drive (Carbon Copy clonning or via SuperDuper). Tie in the external hard drive to the Mac Pro . Upgrade the Mac os X server install via the DVD install for mac os X server coming with the mac pro . CCC it back to the mac pro ... watch the fireworks ?
I am still in waiting the machine but there are loads of data i would like to transfer from our my present mac os X server quad setup to the upcoming MacPro and doing this manipulation might make the transition soooo much easier than having to transport everything ...
I hope there are no other already started threads concerning this procedure but if such would be the case i apologize for the inconvinience caused and would be glad if reffering threads would be posted here ...
G5 Quad 2.5 7TB xraid 16GB of ram. Mac OS X (10.4.7) Mac os X server 10.4.7

From the looks of it the upgrade from Mac os X server PPC to Mac os X server Universal Binary is not possible from install disk .... i backed up a whole PPC drive loaded my Mac os X Server UB in the machine and booted off the CD on a MBP ... and the installer just wont take the PPC build as upgradable .. once again apple leaves us in the middle of the transition ... WHY ???? For those of us getting mac pros to run mac os x server applications this would be a great benefit to all parties involved and help solve the many dog heared problems we have faced all along in 10.4.
Edit: Same thing from a PPC standpoint a PPC build wont upgade to a Universal Binary build at all as it seems ... i am calling Apple support and hope to get further information to share ... wish me luck
I dare hope leopard behaves better than 10.4 has been especially on the server side which broke many functions that 10.3 got right pretty quickly and neatly .
