MacMini server problem

I had used mac mini for 1 year. Up to now, this mac hadn't got any problem. Today, when I was using it. I found that I move the mouse to the four corner, the active screen corners couldn't active. And then the magnification effect of dock loss it. Beside, I try to move the file on the desktop by mouse, the file was held on mouse indicator and I had to press ESC then click left-bottom to release the file. I am so confused. Finally, I try to reboot the OS(10.6.8), but didn't change those werid phenom. Please, someone could do me a flavor? (plist problem?)

The first problem is DNS.
Your router is not a DNS server. When you ask your router to resolve names it is going out to the DNS servers specified by you (or your ISP). So, unless it can find your domain out there on the internet, a client will not be able to resolve your server's name. You have to have a DNS server you can talk to that has a record of your server.
So you need to:
1. Setup DNS on the server
2. Setup DNS on another machine/server
Here is what I would recommend:
1. Setup DNS on your Mini
2. Add the IP of your Mini as the DNS server for your clients.
3. Keep your Airport as the DHCP server
Page 19 is assuming you have asked your ISP to add a DNS record for your domain. If you have not done that, nothing will be able to find your server.
As far as dyndns, you could use them as a DNS server for external access. You setup an account, add your external IP for the address you setup with them and that is pretty much it. You can run the updater on your server which will track your IP and update it in the event you have a dynamic IP and it changes.

Multiple domains and multiple IPs in the same MacMini Server

I am sure that this topic has been faced already but I cannot find enough information to really dig into a solution.
I have a macmini server with two IPs let say x.x.x.12 and x.x.x.13 .
The server is set up on the first IP. It has his primary zone, machine record, mail aslias and www alias.
Lets call the server domain server.domain1.com
Everything works fine I have a couple of local users and a couple of LDAP users. Just to test the machine setup.
I can send and receive emails using any of the users as [email protected]
Now I would like to have another domain, domain2.com in the same server .
The final goal is to have users under different domains. They have their own email box, calendar, etc.
It will be preferable that I can share the same username with different domains. But I can live without that option.
My first test was to have the second domain called server.domain2.com using the second IP. x.x.x.13 .
For that I created another Primary Zone with domain2.com as machine record of x.x.x.13 . To use the second IP I simply create another Ethernet interface on the macmini.
In the Mail -> Advance settings I added the host aliases as well as virtual hosting domains for domains2.com.
With this setting I can send emails as [email protected] or [email protected] but when I replay to their messages I get a "Relay access denied" error from server.domain1.com .
I also tryed another domain pointing to x.x.x.12, the same as server.domain1.com . I did not create any extra Primary Zone but the local host aliases and the virtual hosting domains.
Same issue. I can send but I get a "Relay access " error.
As you might notice I am a novice on servers settings. I just try to recreate a similar environment common to Virtual Hosting providers for my own website playground but I cannot cut through this email configuration obstacle.
Any significant meaning that can be leading me to learn how to do it will be very very appreciated . (beside lynda,com tutorials that I followed already but do not mention multiple domains for mails).
Thanks

the problem I try to solve is to manage multiple domains in one MacMini Server.
Having two IPs is secondary.
I would like that each domains has his own users with emails, iCals, Wiki and web sites.
The main problem is having emails to work for any additional domain beside the default one on the machine IP.
I also got an additional IP address to be used on the same server hoping that it make things easier but apparently is making things more difficult.

Considering a Dell U2711 for MacMini Server

Hi All,
I am planning to buy a MacMini Server to go with my Dell U2711 Display.
I am a bit confused regarding the means of connecting the Display to MacMini for running at 2560 x 1440 resolution.
Apple tells on MacMini specifications page, that output through HDMI is limited to 1920-by-1200.
That said, I am left with the "Thunderbolt" way to achive the native resolution of 2560 x 1440, right?
So, what cable should I use to connect the display through thunderbolt port?
Some articles suggest using the so called "Mini DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI" Cable to do that, but then isn't is a misleading naming for a thunderbolt cable?
I would expect something like a "Thunderbolt to Dual Link DVI" cable.
Thanks!

Iam buying this model, have tou tried 1080p videos external monitors anf full hd flash videos from vimeo?

Just though I should fill in a bit here, as I have now bought this laptop and running Arch 64bit on it. So if any other users are considering this laptop, here are a few lines about it:
I have it up and running with LUKS disk encryption, everything works fine so far. I'm running XFCE with just a minor problem that the bottom panel is kinda blinking 3 or 4 times right after boot. Havn't tested webcam nor bluetooth, but sound and everything else seems to work fine.
Two of my biggest problems were to get the wifi up and running and to get an acceptable performance when viewing videos in full screen. As for the wifi; just me not understanding that I needed a kernel module AND a firmware.. (If someone wants to fill me in on why we need a firmware AND a kernel module/ driver, I'd be glad.) I installed the iwlwifi-5000-ucode without knowing I also needed the iwlagn module too. After that was fixed, I am now using network manager with no problems.
I have also had some problem with the Radeon 3670. The performance was bad in full screen videos when I used the xf86-video-radeonhd. (I followed arch wiki). It didn't help to use vide-ati neither, and no settings in the xorg.conf did fix my problem. I also noticed that DRI was failing in xorg.log. After alot of trying I decided to try the git-versions which are found in the AUR. I'm happy to say that I can now watch 720 (the only video resolution I have tried yet) with acceptable quality
All in all, I'm quite happy with the computer so far. A bit warm maybe. Oh, and the screen (full HD version) is SOO nice :-)

Can I input MacMini server thunderbolt video into IMac minidvi port?

I have a new MacMini server with Thunderbolt video output, and a mid 2010 27" IMac with minidvi external video input.
I have used the IMac as a monitor for my Mac Pro with good results for over a year.
My understanding from the Apple web site is that Thunderbolt video will drive a current model 27" LED Cinema display with minidvi input, so long as the monitor is the last item in the thunderbolt chain.
I have been unable to get the thunderbolt video from my Mac Mini to drive the minidvi external video input on my IMac.
Am I doing something wrong? The monitor is the last (and only) item from the thunderbolt output on the MacMini server.
I continue to struggle with the disparate apple video standards, but need the ability to occasionally use the IMac in its external monitor mode, as opposed to remoting in to the MacMini server across the network.
Any help appreciated.

My Bad...
MiniDisplayPort is required, and this is what I have.
I believe that I finally solved the problem after getting through to a tier 2 Apple tech.
It does work, but there are several caveats:
1. Both machines are required to be on before connecting them.
2. This mode will support Windows 7 in boot camp, but you are required to connect the two devices in OSX, be certain the video is displayed on the monitor which is in Target Display mode, and then reboot the source machine to boot camp.
3. The MiniDisplayPort is the required cable, even though the source machine might use thunderbolt.
Thanks....

MacMini display problem

I have upgraded to Leopard, and have installed XP SP2 on my MacMini successfully but the display only allows 640 x 480.
Before installing the Boot Camp drivers in Windows I could select a number of display options, eg1280 x 1024, but after the Boot Camp drivers the only option is 640 x 480
The MacMini is a 1.83 Ghz processor, 2Gb RAM and the Intel GMA950 graphics, which I normally run at 1360 x 768
Anyone else with this issue?

I have exactly the same problem. MacMini Server i7 (mid 2011) Macmini5.3.16Gb ram.
Mini and Thunderbolt no blink-outs.
Mini and Thunderbolt and Dell 23" connected to HDMI-DVI connector, the Thunderbolt display blinks out when system is under stress as in the Develop module of Lightroom 4.
I thought it was a problem with my Thunderbolt display, and since its on a VESA mount, I didn't really want to haul in in to the Apple Store. I decided to be sure it was the dosplay...
I borrowed a MacbookPro i7 and ran it from a clone of my Mini. No problems aster hours of use. (But with only ONE monitor.) That suggested that there was no problem with the Thunderbolt Display.
I decided to run the Mini with only one display. Again no problems. I plugged in the Second monitor to the HDMI port and within 2 minutes I had my first "Blink-Out".
I ran the rest of the day without the second monitor with no problems.
I conclude the mini will not work reliably with two monitors if one is a Thunderbolt.
I was using two Dell Monitors before I got the Thunderbolt Diskplay (for 3 months) without incident.

Which attached storage you are using for your Macmini Server?

Hi all,
I am very confusing to choose a right attached storage for my small office use - with my Macmini server - for storage shared files, documents...
My intend is to select one with:
- Firewire 800 connection (2 is best)
- 2 internal disks so I can make RAID 1
- Do not need any manual operating like turn on, turn off when power Mac down, up or electricity down, up
- Quiet
- Not make a lot of heat
I read many review of product as Buffalo, WD, Drobo, Promiss... but I still not quite convince before make an order. Each products has some weak points (as I understood through review):
- Promiss: can not power on it self after electricity down and back, so this means we need a person to manually turn it on after that.
- Drobo: noisy and bad quality?
- WD: has some problem to maintain mount (through firewire) when reboot macmini?
- Buffalo: I preffered this one but it do not have Firewire, only USB 2.0 and I afraid this is not enough for my sharing files purpose.
So please share you experience and help me to choose the best, thanks!

Thanks!
I just bought 2 Buffalo box (single disk), I will try to buy Drobo box for a RAID soon!
BTW, do you have problem when restart server when use firewire connection?

I just bought a MacMini Server

I just bought a MacMini Server. I moved our company's website to it successfully. However, I'm currently using GoLive 9 to edit the .html files on a separate computer running Snow Leopard currently. Some of the images aren't coming through on the Lion MacMini Server now. Before I hook the server up to the network replacing the old server, when I do this and the .html files on the server can see the computer where I do the editing of said .html files will the files' referencing Photoshop Smart Objects of GoLive fix this? These .html files do keep looking for the .psd files that are on the external hard drive of the editing computer. I would ask the Adobe Discussion Group but the login feature of that site is not working. Thank you so much for your help in advance! :-)

Problem solved & it runs like a charm! For all who contributed solutions thanks for your help! :-)

Can't setup my MacMini server!

Hi !
I can't setup my MacMini server.
I can access it to SSH with "root" user but when I use the Server Admin tool, I can't authenticate "Password wrong"
Someone can help me ?

So you too have a Mac Mini refurb? (If you have a serial number, then your configuration is probably not a refurb, which means your question probably isn't the same.)
Are you working your install remote, or do you have a display and keyboard connected directly to the box?
If you're not working locally with a directly-attached keyboard and mouse and video, then I'd suggest starting there. Get the network stuff out of the path.
I'd also look at the particular keyboard in use, as I've chased a few similar problems over the years that involved using non-vendor keyboards. You might not be getting the same character listed on the keycap; Mac OS X does try to adapt to PC keyboards and such, but doesn't always succeed. And some PC keyboards are just weird.
If you are working locally and the box isn't working and the passwords are stuffed and you have an Apple keyboard or recognized PC keyboard, then the path forward for the Mac Mini Server (as differentiated from the Mac Mini not-server refurb that's discussed in the base thread, and versions of that Mac Mini not-server can boot Leopard) would be to wipe the disk using Disk Utility (via the menu bar visible on the second? page when you boot the installation DVD) and then perform a full install.

MacMini (2011) problem with Thunderbolt display if 2nd monitor is connected via HDMI/DVI adapter

Hi,
iam running a MacMini (2011) 2.3GHz i5 with Mac OS X 10.7.4 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 256 GB Samsung SSD.
If i connect a Thunderbolt display only - all is fine.
But if i connect a 2nd monitor ( Samsung S23A700) via HDMI / DVI adapter (original Apple) the major screen (Thunderbolt Display) sometimes
is going black and immidiately back to normal. It looks like that it happens very often if i scroll down with the Apple Magic Mouse.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Thomas

I want to use a headless MacMini Server as a webhost for four sites.

I am considering trying the MacMini server to use as a webhost. I have a comcast business account with 5 IP's. It's an extreme connection speed package.
My sites would be:
2 Joomla! CMS sites,
1 WordpressMU Site,
1 SugarCRM site.
I am looking for something an idiot could install and manage. I'm using a hosting company right now, but would like more control of my OS.
I don't like the fact that Apple doesn't include phpMyAdmin as a standard package with Snow leopard.
I installed the above scripts on my macbook pro through MAMP and MAMP Pro, but all I can get is local access. The public cannot access my sites folder (regular snow leopard). So, I was told that I need snow leopard server to accomplish what I want to do. Can anyone help me figure out what I need, and how it's done?
Walt

It does sound like a simple port forwarding thing.
Do take care with that Comcast account. If my experience is any indication you will not get the advertised speed. If you read the agreement it is only guaranteed for the first few kilobytes or so of any transmission and then backs down to normal speeds afterward.
Comcast will also do you a "favor" and turn the firewall on by default in the supplied modem/router. You have to call them and have them turn it off if it interferes with anything.

How to fix "server problem" error message when trying to use PhoneGap build service.

I have a site that is now optimized for mobile devices and want to use the PhoneGap Build service in Dreamweaver CS6 to make a native app. Unfortunately, I keep getting the "We seem to be having server problems." error message when I try to create a new project. I did notice that the configuration file was created at the site root. I've seen a few other similar threads on this, but no solution. I've checked on any firewall issues (none) and know that the PhoneGap server is not down. The problem is on my end.
Thanks,

Not an answer to the server problem, but I have posted the PhoneGap Build process here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4669054#4669054. It might help anyone still having problems.

So that just indicates that you erased the OS X partition also

Install OS X again
Then using BootCamp create a partition for Windows
Then install Windows into that partition
