Messages with Server 3.1.2 behind a proxy server

Help ...
I am familiar with earlier iterations of the Mac OS X server software and set up a largish 16TB system in a UK hospital before I retired. I am now working for a charity in a remote location and testing the latest version running on a recycled MacBook Pro to see if it could be used in earnest to provide local services to support the volunteer community here. Access to the internet is very slow and heavily restricted by a Squid proxy server and I find the lack of a comprehensive OS X Server manual frustrating at times (if there is one please point me to it!).
I have File Sharing running fine, but I am struggling to find the workable settings for a cross platform local messaging service. I am trying AIM initially, but whatever settings at the user end I select I keep getting either 'server refusing connections' or 'unidentified AIM socket error' messages.
Any assistance would be really appreciated ... especially as this is my foray into the world of Messages!
Thanks in anticipation,
Ian
Test system: Server: MacBook Pro running Server 3.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.9.4 Client: MacBook Air running Mac OS X 10.9.4

Since posting this I have been able to download more information and also search the ASC threads - and see I should be using Jabber.
So - I may still need some advice but I am working towards the solution ... hopefully!

Problems with Arrowpoint cookies for clients behind a Proxy

I have in a WebSite clients being load balanced using Arrowpoint cookies to a virtual Server. The CSS load balance between three Apache real servers.
I have some clients that are behind some kind of Proxy Cache and I have seen with a sniffer that the proxies causing the problem Re-use proxy to our server connections for different requests for multiple clients.
Then, as I understand the CSS make the forwarding decission based on the cookie of the first request for the first client behind the proxy after establishing the HTTP connection, but when there is a request from other client using this same connection (that must be forwarded to other real server) the request is forwarded to the original web server and fails because we need sticky connections.
I thought that this wasn't correct but I have read some documents that say that this is called a Proxy role as a "connection cache". Then my question is if there is any workaround for this problem.
Thanks

I believe your problem is that the proxy open a few persistent connections with the CSS and loadbalance your client's request over them.
Once the CSS has associated a connection with a service, it does not look into the request anymore.
The solution is to disable persistence on the CSS with the command 'no persistent' and 'persistence reset'.

Problems downloading with the Adobe Download Assistant behind a proxy

I'm attemtping to use Adobe Download Assistant from behind a proxy (specifically, one created by an IronPort data appliance). Is there a way to set proxy information within Adobe Download Manager? It doesn't seem to be pulling my system's settings, so attempting to download a product results in 101 errors no matter the destination.

Branched this out to a separate discussion.
The Adobe Download Assistant will use the proxy configuration for your computer. If it is being blocked then please ensure that your proxy is configured to allow the Adobe Download Assistant to connect to the Internet.

Fault message with 'Server error'

Hi all,
I have the following problem in PI.
The scenario is a synchronous interface, in which messages are send to PI using SOAP adapter. These are sent by proxy to ECC, and afterwards a reponse message is sent back.
So it's a SOAP-Proxy scenario with a synchronous interface and a request/response message.
I'm testing this interface using SOAPUI.
In PI the request and response messages are processed succesfully, however in SOAPUI I get the following error message (fault message), which is also shown in the communication channel logging.

<SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <SOAP:Body>
     <SOAP:Fault>
       <faultcode>SOAP:Server</faultcode>
       <faultstring>Server Error</faultstring>
       <detail>
          <s:SystemError xmlns:s="http://sap.com/xi/WebService/xi2.0">
              <context>XIAdapter</context>
              <code>ADAPTER.JAVA_EXCEPTION</code>
              <text>java.lang.ClassCastException
The fault message contains the error: Server Error.
Does anyone have an idea what causes this?
Thanks in advance any help!
Regards,
Marco

Hi Eng Swee
The audit log doesn't show any errors. The java.lang.ClassCastException erro is shown in the processing details of the communication channel (column explanation)
The last step in the audit log is : "The message status is set to DLVD"
I think steps are missing after this, that sent the response message back to SOAPUI.
I also had a look in a similar interface I've build earlier, in which the additional last steps are:
SOAP: Response message leaving the adapter
SOAP: Processing completed
So for some reason the response message is not sent back from the adapter.
Could this issue be related to the test with SOAPUI and the version used?
The SOAPUI version is 5.0 and the PI version is 7.0

Marco

Adobe Exchnage not working behind organisation proxy

I am asked to enter my Adobe credential every time I try to download any extension but nothing happens when I enter my user id and password and click on the login button. The process just goes away with "Loggin in..." message and just hangs displaying "Logging in..." message. My computer is based behind the proxy (something I can't change) so how do I download ANY extension when I can't even login. I can easily login to my account page on Adobe website but can do it from Photoshop when I try using Adobe Exchange form.
Any suggestions?
John

Hi John,
Can you tell me what operating system you're using, and what version of Photoshop (CC, CS6..?)? Also, are you able to successfully login using the Creative Cloud desktop app? Free Creative Cloud | Download Adobe Creative Cloud free trial
If you can successfully login with some other desktop software, you should be already logged-in when the Exchange panel loads.
Best,
Fraser

500 Internal Server Error message with youtube viewing

Ok. Here's the issue. Many-but-not-every-time I'm using Safari and go to youtube to view videos I click on to view and this message comes up instead of the video: 500 Internal Server Error and then a page full of computer code.
This has just started to do this. How do I correct this problem?

I read about these reports often...

Still, if you think it might be on your end, I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
Disconnect the USB cable from any UPS so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.

HT4910 My iCal has frozen after I tried to paste info from an email into a reminder. I get a "server reports an error" message with what I tried to paste in the box. Calendar is frozen and will only close by forcing it. Any help?

My iCal has frozen after I tried to paste info from an email into a reminder. I get a "server reports an error" message with what I tried to paste in the box. Calendar is frozen and will only close by forcing it. Any help?

Did another window open with the pasted information? If so, try hitting "enter/return" key and "delete" key at the same time. That should get rid of the current action on the ical, the extra window should go bye-bye, and all should be fine with the world.

Error message on iweb, no communication with server

I have three websites on my iweb and hosted by Go Daddy. The main site will not download, error message no communication with server yet other two work fine. I have been to Apple Genius and talked to Go Daddy three times and all is supposedly in order but still will not work. I am able to download on Cyberduck
but using Iweb would be so much simpler. How can it work on two websites and not the third? Help!

If the main site, with the URL - http://www.domain-name.com - is not downloading in the browser, it will be because the external index.html file is not present in the root folder on the server.
The other sites will work because they have the folder-name in the URL ...
http://www.domain.com/Folder-Name/
... where Folder-Name is the name of the site in iWeb.
Its just a question of republishing the main site if you are using the iWeb FTP and use the settings shown on this page....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
If you can use an FTP application, publish the site to a local folder and upload the external index.html file only, to the root folder on the server.

Sent Messages are constantly synchronising with server. Mail so slow!!

Whenever I open Mail, the Mail Activity window displays thousands of messages incoming which takes forever and slows down my computer. Also the Activity window shows it's constantly Communicating with Server (Sent Messages) Fetching. It never seems to complete this action and so slows everything down. If I let it run and run overnight I still see this message in the morning.
I have a MobileMe account but it used to be a .Mac account. Is the computer getting confused between the two I wonder?
Please help, I've searched the forums for similar issues but nothing has been resolved. I'm going mad!!

I keep receiving a server error message with the new beta version of iMessage. What can I do to fix this?

I keep receiving a server error message with the new beta version of iMessage. What can I do to fix this?

Ok I have a question.
Why do you want to use Beta software? Especially since you are having this problem with it?
Uninstall it and forget about it until it is released as a real piece of software.

OMacbook calendar gets the message "the server responded with an error" and is now not syncing. Any idea?

I haven't done anything to my Macbook (I don't think) but out of the blue when adding entries to my calendar, I now get the message "the server responded with an error". Consequently it will not sync with the Cloud. I have an iMac which DOES sync with both iPad and the iPhone.
Anyone any idea?

Sorry, no help there. Ical does not stay open long enough to do anything with. All it does is crash and apologise and say it will notify Apple.
Guess I will just delete it altogether and use google calendar.

My iCal won't go online and returns the error message: The server responded with "500" to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.

My iCal won't go online and returns the error message: "The server responded with “500” to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation."

OK Now I can answer my own question. The incomprehensible (inexcusably geeky) error message is actually Apple language for saying simply: "The iCloud servers are down again. Please wait until we've fixed them." I found this out by talking to Apple support. It took about 12 hours for the iCloud server synching calendars to come back online. When they did, my calendar reloaded, and everything was fine.
