Mac OS X Server v10.6.6 Software Update Service Host Older Updates?????

Is there a way to manually add older software updates to the software update service?
My issue started out like this. I would click change version beside both Mac OS X update/combo update v10.6.6 and select v10.6.5 because I want to push the older version. When I clicked save the check marks went away on those two items. I then figured I would refresh everything by renaming /var/db/swupd/http to /var/db/swupd/http-old and /etc/swupd/ to /etc/swupd-old. I restarted the service and all of the files were recreated and updates were downloaded but now when I click change version the older version is no longer available. Keep in mind that I still have the old folders so I can always go back and I can always download old updates from the Apple web site if need be. So if there is a way to manually add older updates hopefully my issue will be resolved. It was written in the description of Mac OS X Server v10.6.5 that a new feature was available that allowed hosting older updates but I can't find instructions on how to do so.
I welcome any takers. Thanks in advance!

I understood the older version only being able to be hosted/downloaded when they come available, but were updated on SUS due to a bug or something, so as far as I understood, apple wont let you host that VERSION of that file again, unless you had it before.
Essentially, they only allow sus to download the last version of it, if you had the one before the last version, you could keep it. I could/might/usually am wrong though.

HT5218 Safari 5.1.5 for Mac OS X Server v10.6 is no longer available for downloading, where I can find it?

afari 5.1.5 for Mac OS X Server v10.6 is no longer available for downloading, where I can find it?

FWIW, Software Update Server on OS X Server 10.6 did occasionally corrupt itself.
If I had a case of that arise, I'd get a full backup, would shut off Software Update Server, apply the current OS X Server 10.6.8 combo update and the current and subsequent patches, then reset the Software Update Server caches and force a new download of everything, and then restart the Software Update Server.
Alternatively — and given what I've encountering with 10.6.8-vintage hardware failures in the last few months — I'd probably look to migrate to newer hardware and newer software. Those disks are getting old, after all.
Software Update Server and Caching Server 2 on 10.9 have both been stable.
The Reposado open-source implementation of Software Update Server might provide you with an alternative approach, if Software Update Server is being recalcitrant and if you can't upgrade.

Mac O X Server v10.39 troubleshooting start up. 'console mode' screen

I have recently made use of my old *G4 400 mhz* desktop mac, by installing an old version *Mac O X Server v10.39*, to use as home server. The installation has gone well and the server has been working well for over a week, the users and shared points have all been set and there hasn't been any problems. It is now running headless and I am controlling it via Apple Remote Desktop, I have also set the energy setting preferences to put the server to sleep at 10 pm each night. I also have three other family macs which are connected and configured to use the server.
But today I have tried to wake the server via ARD, but it wouldn't wake up and also when I have tried to getting it to manually awake up it doesn't work either, even though the front light is on.
I then have then pressed the small reset button on the front of the G4 and now when it boots up, after seeing it go through the start up screens and once the progress bar has reached the end, the screen then goes to a black screen with the words:
Darwin/BSD (Server name) (console)
login:
This is were I'm stuck, I have no knowledge of the Terminal scripts etc.
But I have tried the put in the servers name, then pressed return, at this point the next line came up as
password:
After entering the administrators password, the screen then goes to a plain blue screen.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get passed this stage in booting up, or what I am doing wrong and how I can correct this situation.
Many Thanks

Hello !
Remade an new install with a FQDN* (yourhost.yourdomain.com) hosted by your provider with a A and MX (if you plan to use mail setvices) records pointing on your host
Too : it's imperative to enter a valid ip on your eth. link (no public adresse : like as 10.x.x. or 192.168.X.X on your en0
Even it's possible to setup like this, you must configure your router or firewall ... but much complex ! (Port mapping ... virtual server ... etc.. DMZ if you have ... ???)
Install a second eth card is good think :
1 for the wan link on the EN0
the other for the lan EN1
with a "real" domain name and the ip supplied by your provider : you can setup your server with this public ip on your wan and a 10-net on your lan.
(Your dns request will be forwarding to the DNS IP servers of your ISP : one line in option of the named.conf file)
Before you can install the software with your ISP setup (DNS and domain name) : But don't launch any services !!! nothing ! all off !
upgrade your os x software before setup via pref panel ..
at tis time, you got an local acces who is accessible via yourhostname.local and once you have the necessary described (domainname.xx hosted and public ip adress you can setup the services by runnig "Gateway Tool" to start DNS, NAT, DHCP and VPN services.
The Firts step is OK !
After you can finish the setup with in first : The DNS forwarding
Once you hosname and reverse resolving : you will be able to jump to the next !
But before you must get a perfectly lookup of your hostame and ip addr
(You can setup your DNS as a primary server ! Bind 9.2.2 run well ! but ... not really easy without a goot practice of bind and a good overview of Domain Name basics ... and insecure for your data ; DNS crashed = O.D. dead and access data under LDAP denied and lost !)
good luck !

HT3854 Not applicable in Mac OS X Server v10.8 (Mountain Lion)?

This chart seems not applicable in Mac OS X Server v10.8.4 (Mountain Lion) [Server v2.1.1].
I have 32GB of RAM but the maxproc limit is still 2500, no matter setting via launchctl (the new way), sysctl (the old way), ulimit (the soft way), or both of them.
Commands applied:
$ sudo launchctl limit maxproc 2501
$ sudo launchctl limit
          cpu         unlimited      unlimited
          filesize    unlimited      unlimited

$ sudo sysctl -w kern.maxproc=2500
kern.maxproc: 2500 -> 2500
$ sudo sysctl -w kern.maxproc=2501
kern.maxproc: 2500
Files also created / modified accordingly:
/etc/launchd.conf
/etc/sysctl.conf
When I see the source code of the Darwin kernel (unix_startup.c), it works like it is specified here. But I still cannot I wonder whether the kernel calls srv_setup() and bsd_srv_setup() properly. I would like to find a way (via systemsetup command, modifying com.apple.Boot.plist, applying NVRAM parameter, etc.) so that bsd_srv_setup() would be called with a larger "scale" parameter. Or perhaps is there any way to compile a custom kernel from source and replace the system one?

Gil,
The command with one parameter (known as "both" in manpage) is the same as the one with two parameters (known as "soft" and "hard" respectively in manpage) - it will be treated like supplying two parameters using the same value:

How to spare my HD with Mac OS X Server v10.5 Leopard?

Hi there,
I just got my iMac few days ago. I have install Mac OS X Server v10.5 Leopard problem.
Its any could teach me how can I spare my Hard Drive to show 2 in my desktop, one will be Application App & another will be Storage..
Its "Mac OS X Server v10.5 Leopard"(computer version) can only use on new mac??

Ohhh... Okay... You want to partition your hard drive.
Instructions can be found here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61301
You must do this while booted from the OS X install DVD and choosing Disk Utility from the Utilties menu. Also be aware that you must back your data prior to changing the partition scheme, as it will reformat the hard drive.

Help Please with Mac OS X Server v10.5 Install

I am currently running my everyday computer 2.6GHZ MacBook Pro on my wireless network I want to install the Mac OS X Server V10.5 standard install but I keep getting a message stating I need to have the computer plugged in to the ethernet cable??? I want to do this wirelessly I only need the basic install so I can learn how to use the server - Can anyone help me in getting this set up with out having to plug it in...I use an airport extreme and have a wireless network set up already - I really could use some help Thanks

Just plug in an ethernet cable during the installation process. One of the requirements of server is access to primary ethernet as a common installation is performed headless. The only way to "ensure" network access is with ethernet as there are commonly no requirements other than plugging in a cable. Wireless most often requires authentication or at least selection of the desired wireless network.
Just get a patch cable and use it for the install. Once you have the install complete, set primary network to the wireless port and then disconnect the cable.
Hope this helps

Mac OS X Server v10.7 does not show the ethernet link aggregated interface I created in Server Hardware Network Dialogue window. Are link aggregated ethernet connections not supported in Lion Server?

Mac OS X Server v10.7 does not show the ethernet link aggregated interface i created. Does Lion server support ethernet link aggregated interfaces?

Thanks for responding Cold--
Hardware: Mac Pro 3.0 GHZ quad core xeon
I read the link but it still does not explain why the aggregated dual ethernet interface does not show up in the Network tab of the hardware section Lion Server. I was able to see it on the network and looks to be using a single static IP that I assigned. My concern was that is this supported and will it allow for failover and double performance of the single network interface.
Any thoughts?
Thanks again!

Getting MySQL to work on Mac OS X Server v10.4

Hi,
I am having trouble with running MySQL 4 on Mac OS X Server 10.4. (While the other application I will be installing works with both versions 4 and 5 of MySQL, I just thought it might be easier to get 4 working since it is the default version that comes with the OS.) I have launched "/Applications/Server/MySQL Manager.app", pressed the install button, then pressed the start button. By pressing the button, I am able to toggle visually between start and stop modes within the GUI. However, upon further inspection, MySQL doesn't seem to be actually running. At the terminal, I get:
$ which mysql
/usr/bin/mysql
$ ls /usr/local
ls: /usr/local: No such file or directory
$ ps -ax | grep mysql
3489 p2 R+ 0:00.00 grep mysql
$ mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)
Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong?

Actually, this problem is only partially solved. I still get "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock..." when I type 'mysql'. I can access mysql by typing 'sudo mysql', but still get the socket error when connecting via php, so I think I still need to get to the point where I can type mysql without sudo.
Also, I went ahead and installed MySQL 5 with the tar package.

Help Please with Mac OS X Server v10.5

Hello, I am a newbee to the discussions board...I currently have a 17" 2.6ghz 4GB 200GB ATA @ 7200 MacBook Pro and I am wanting to start learning how to use the Mac OS X Server10.5 - This is my main computer I also run Adobe CS3 on the computer - if I was to purchase the server software for 499.00 would I be able to install it on my MacBook Pro and learn how to use it so at some point I can use it to manage a future business with 5-10 employees - I have no idea how to use this server software so I was thinking learn at home on my laptop before buying more expensive hardware - am I on the right track or is this not going to work - any help is greatly appreciated...Thanks

Hello and welcome to the Apple Discussion boards!
Well, the honest answer is that it will work but I think that quite a few 'features' might not be convenient/functional to use if you travel with the laptop.
There is nothing that stops Server from being installed on it. If it is just that this is your 'desktop' machine and normally does not leave the network it is currently attached to, it would be more than adequate. In other words, 'Tinkering' will be fine for this setup, but any type of 'serious' serving might overwhelm the HD (it is 'smaller', lower rotational speed, possible long term effects of 24 hour uptime use et al) but everything else will work as intended.

Mac OS X Server v10.6 Snow Leopard - Webdav setup?

Could someone give me a run-through on what is needed to set up webdav or a link to same? On this server, I've got groups with shared folders, and users who can access at least one group each. I'd like to be able to have the users get web access to these same folders.
Thanks, Ian

More words around the commands used, errors seen, tools involved, etc, please?
Why do I ask for that? This stuff works as expected here.
Here's what I did to get connected with a test server. First, get Apache going and enable WebDAV, both via Server Admin. Then (on the client) select Go > Connect To Server in Finder, and specify the WebDAV server via http or https as the target. The wheels spin for a bit as the connections are made, and Bob's Your Uncle.
I'm going to presume you have DNS going, but (if not) start there.

How to change from Mac OS X to Mac OS X Server

Hello everyone? I have a Mac Pro Late 2013 with Mac OS X v10.9.4. I want to change from Mac OS X to Mac OS X Server v10.9.4. Is it possible?

If an enterprise mail server is a requirement, then I'd generally recommend installing Windows Server, with Active Directory and Exchange Server, Sharepoint server and related features. Not OS X Server.
OS X Server includes the Postfix and Dovecot packages and related tools, and which are common Unix servers used for mail.
If you want to run the integrated mail server within OS X Server, you'll need both private (assuming a NAT'd network) and public DNS services must be entirely correctly configured — other mail servers will use any of your DNS configuration errors as a reason not to accept mail from your server, and potentially as a reason not to send mail to your server — and you'll need static IP from your ISP, and a decent-grade firewall, and preferably a firewall with an embedded VPN server and with DMZ capabilities configured to keep any server breaches contained and separate from your inner network. Your firewall will usually need to have TCP port 25, TCP 587, and either TCP/UDP 995 or preferably TCP 993 open, and forwarded through; the appropriate ports for whatever services you're using.
You'll generally not want to have your internal, private, NAT'd network DNS servers accessible to and serving translation publicly.
Or yes, Kerio does quite well, and is definitely a step or two up from the standard mail software in OS X Server — though nowhere near what Exchange Server and Active Directory and the rest can provide for a typical enterprise.
As for many of the questions that can arise when configuring OS X Server via Server.app for DNS and mail, please see the help within Server.app.

Mac OS X Server 10.0.4 Update

Hello,
I've been going through my software and downloading all the updates I can find. I was wondering if any of you might have this in your archives, Apple seems to have "lost" it and my usual haunts have come up empty.
I've recently bought Mac OS X Server 10.0, and I have some of the other OS X Servers (for the Xserve), it seems finding (just the) updates you need before OS X Server 10.3 is hit or miss.
In one example I'm trying to find:
Mac OS X Server 10.0.4 Update: Document and Software
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120035
( http://download.info.apple.com/MacOSX/062-8318.20010702/0z/10.0.4ServerUpdate.dmg.bin )
Dumps you at:
" This URL is no longer used. If you get to this page, please go to:"
http://www.info.apple.com/export/
... do strange loop.
(My cookies are enabled)
I know this is old, thats not the point, why is this and for that fact most of the other updates missing?
I'm not real clear if 10.0 Server is update-able to 10.1 Server with the OS X 10.0-10.1 update CD for the regular OS X to which you may then UD to MacOSXUpdateCombo10.1.5, they mixed it up so you can't tell - or I can't tell.
Mac OS X Server 10.1: Chart of Available Software Updates:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42741
See what I mean?
Even OS X Server 10.0.3 Update would suffice. I'd appreciate you all poking around - I got nothing.
Mac OS X Server 10.3.x on, stuff is easy to find, Server 10.2.x and earlier is a pain and this is the last time (hopefully) I'll need to do this.
If anyone with these updates could contact me that would be great or just reply to this post, this server will not be online - just to be clear.
Any help would be appreciated.

My operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.8 and when I'm surfing the web, it tells me I need to update my browser however when I check for updates, nothing comes up. What do I need to do to get Mac OS X Lion v10.7?

Software update will only bring you up to the current level of the system you are using - you are at the maximum for Snow Leopard. To get Lion or higher you will have to go to the Mac App Store in Applications and purchase it there (Yosemite is free). You will need to check that your Mac meets the requirements and you should particularly note that PPC programs such as AppleWorks will not run in Lion or above.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Yosemite (10.10.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Yosemite are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Yosemite is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). Mountain Lion can be obtained the Online Apple Store. (Mavericks is no longer available.)
If the problem is only with Safari and you are otherwise happy with Snow Leopard you could switch to FireFox (free) - the latest version of that will run in Snow Leopard.

HT1822 Mac OS X server admin tools: non-server editions of Mac OS 10.6?

On my iMac, I am running the installation of OS X that it shipped with + updates up to 10.6.8. I know there are server admin tools available on the Apple support website, that do stuff like manage groups. I am looking for a GUI to look at ALL the users, groups, permissions, etc. (including hidden ones like _www for apache) on my system, without having to dig through config files in /etc and/or use the dscl command line utility.
The referenced article says I can find the 10.6 tools on Apple support downloads:
Mac OS X Server v10.6
To administer Mac OS X Server v10.6, use the Server Admin Tools 10.6 on Mac OS X v10.6. You should match the version numbers of the server, tools, and admin workstation as closely as possible; for example, use Server Admin Tools version 10.6.8 on Mac OS X v10.6.8 to administer Mac OS X Server v10.6.8.
My questions are:
1. Where are the 10.6 tools on the apple support website? A search turns up versions for everything BUT 10.6.
2. Will the 10.6 tools work on 10.6.8 that is not a server edition of Mac OS?

The Server Tools you can download from Apple will install and run on OS X client, but they will only connect to and monitor OS X Server boxes.
So that won't get you where you want.
One command that will help you here - and which is present on OS X Server and OS X client - is dscl.
dscl . list /users
For details:
info dscl
or
man dscl
Or a web search, etc...
