My Mac OS X Server won't start up fully

I haven't done anything that I can think of to break it. I was working on MySQL via server admin and the mysql service wouldn't start. It kept saying couldn't do whatever sock.2. Instead of fooling with it, I restarted and now I get the apple symbol and the turning gear, but it never gets started up. Tried safe mode too. What can I do?
At the moment it has the Apple symbol and the whiring gear - for a while now -.

Yes, but all the disk utility and fsck fails. It says all is OK but I can't reboot into the OS. The logon never comes up. Lastly, I was trying df -hl but all it says is root_device from the single user prompt.
I have tried:
Disk Utility from the Installation DVD - it claims all is OK
/sbin/fsck -fy - claims all is OK; I had one modified, then all was OK on second round
sudo fsck_hfs -l /
sudo fsck_hfs -l root_device
sudo fsck_hfs -l /dev/disk0s3 (just because that was in the article)
Last three all result i sudo: can't open /private/etc/sudoers: Operation timed out
:/root# sendmail: fatal: could not find any active network interfaces
Did the disk blow up?

Logitech Media Server won't start

Hi,
Logitech Media Server won’t start after I clean installed 10.10.1 and migrated my user data from time machine. I tried tuned of firewall and clean install LMS many times and tried different version of LMS from 7.7.4 to 7.9 but none of them worked.
I builded a new user account for testing, LMS works well in this new user account.
Is there anything I can do to fix my old user account?
Thank you.

Thank you very much! I did not know about the nightly builds. LMS has pretty much worked throughout the years; it may have needed an update now and then but I never had to go looking for beta versions.
I held off upgrading my Mac Pro -- which acts as a server for iTunes and other things around the house -- to Yosemite until today. All was well except for getting LMS to start. I was pretty bummed at the prospect of not having my tunes on my Squeezebox radio. In any case, I'm glad I found my answer in 5 seconds here at the Apple forums. Rock on.

I am upgrading to Calendar Server 4.0 on NT with more than 9 nodes (or I already have) and my server won't start

I am upgrading to Calendar Server 4.0 on NT with more than 9 nodes
(or I already have) and my server won't start.

The steps are the same whether you have already upgraded or are about to.

Calendar Server 4.0 on the Windows NT platform can only support up to nine
nodes on one server, while 3.51 supported up to 14. If you have a Calendar
Server 3.51 with more than 9 nodes that you want to upgrade to Calendar Server
4.0, Netscape recommends that you migrate the extra nodes to another Calendar
Server 3.51 on another Windows NT system. To accomplish this:
<OL>
<LI>Install Calendar Server on another Windows NT machine and configure it to
use the same directory server as your current Calendar Server.
<LI>Stop and backup your current Calendar Server.
<LI>Individually zip up the node directories you want to move to the new
server. (drive:\unsers\unison\db\Nx
where "x" is the number of the node you want to use.)
<LI>Stop the new Calendar Server.
<LI>Unzip the files into the new Calendar Server in the same place as they
were on the old server.
<LI>Edit the unison.ini
file on the new server to add the nodes you have just migrated.
<LI>Edit the unison.ini
file on the old server to remove the nodes you have moved to the new server.
<LI>Edit the nodes.ini
file on the old server to remove the nodes you just moved and then add them
with the new hostname. Keep in mind that you will only be able to modify the
node network from the old host.
<LI>Run unidbfix -export
on both servers for all nodes.
<LI>Edit the remotenodes.ini
file on both servers to reflect your node topology.
<LI>Run unidbfix -import
to import the changes into the node databases.
<LI>Run unidbfix -c,
then -f,
then -c
again on both servers for all the nodes.
<LI>If you don't get any errors, run uninode -test all
to test if your nodes connections are set properly. If they are not, do not
start either of the servers; instead, fix the errors and try again.
<LI>Start both servers.
<LI>Log in and check to see if you can see people on remote nodes.
<LI>Notify the users on the moved nodes of their new calendar host.
<LI>If you did this in preparation of an upgrade, you can now run the upgrade to
4.0 since both servers contain fewer than 9 nodes.
</OL>

Use Disk Utility whihc is in the Utilities Folder.

Mac Pro 2,1 won't start up

I just ran the Apogee Duet installer from a new eBay purchase. The install CD was homemade. Following the instruction manual, I inserted the CD and when it finished the installation, the manual simply said to click "restart" to finish the installation, which I did. All the while I was thinking, they did not say to remove the disk. So, the Mac shuts down and won't restart bc the disk is still in the drive. I researched how to get the disk out of the drive, when the computer won't start up, and chose the method of holding down the button on the mouse after you push the power button on the Mac, when the computer starts up, eject the CD. This worked. I then played some songs through the Apogee converters using iTunes and then used Logic Pro 9 to see in the unit worked and it did. The computer ran great for a good 20 mins or so. Dinner time. I shut down the Mac and now it won't start up again. The light above the power button just flashes. Any ideas how to get it to start? Please help. Thank you.
Mac Pro 2,1
2x Quad Core Intel Xeon

The light above the power button just flashes.
That indicates, "Not enough RAM is working properly to start up".
It is not a cause and effect with your new Installation, just a coincidence. It could have happened anytime.

After Setting Up SSO Managed Server Won't Start

I am using the Oracle supplied white paper to set up SSO using Active Directory. Following those instructions everything was working and testing correctly until I added the NegotiateIdentityAsserter provider to the list of WLS providers. Now the managed server won't start. The admin server starts without any errors and goes to the RUNNING state. But the Start BI Services command window gets to the wls.alive: prompt and hangs. And hangs. Eventually the window goes away and it may throw an error but I've never seen it. You can login to the WLS console and EM without a problem. Remove the new provider and everything comes up normally. I have looked at the krb5.ini and krb5login.conf files and even rewritten them from scratch without any change in behavior.
While looking for answers I ran into the SPNEGOCheck webapp that Oracle makes available to diagnose problems. It says everything is OK until it parses the krb5login.conf and then complains that the Username associated with SPN in AD is blank and so doesn't match the SPN specified in the krblogin config. But I can't see anything wrong in the files themselves.

Wrong JRE Runtime Lib Path on Win2K--Admin Server Won't Start

Running Sun One Web Server 6.0 SP6 on a Windows 2000 server, I inadvertently entered a typo in the iPlanet Administration Server's Global Settings, "Configure JRE/JDK Paths" link.
In the "JRE Runtime Lib Path" field I typed "jjk1.3.1_03" instead of "jdk1.3.1_03". Now the Sun One web server won't start, so I can't go into the Administrative Server to fix the Jre Runtime Lib Path. I havent' been able to find any file where I can change that erroneous setting either. Is it a Registry entry?
I also tried adding the correct JRE Runtime Lib Path at the end of the Windows PATH environment variable on the server, but that didn't help.

Yes we checked the Registry settings and fixed the typo in the path associated with the key NSES_JRE_RUNTIME_LIBPATH. That should have fixed the problem, but the Sun One web server still wouldn't start.
Moved to plan B and removed then reinstalled the Sun One web server. Now it starts and all is well.
Thanks for helping everyone. This also raised the issue for us of whether or not we are entitled to individual support from Sun since we paid for the Sun One web server. According to the web site, the answer is NO - unless we pay $3,000 for a support contract. Other vendors who recommended using Sun One with their products say YES. We're still tracking that down.

Report Application Server won't start. CCM always says Starting....

We installed some Windows Server Updates about 3 months ago (at the time, over 70 Windows updates were installed) but, this problem hasn't shown up until 2 or 3 weeks ago. I think a .Net Service Pack might have been part of the updates at that time. When we did the updates, Windows was shutdown and updates installed per the preferred option of Windows. But now when rebooting since that time, the server continually reccomends the install updates and shutdown option. Do we need to rollback the server to date prior those updates if possible?
I have also uninstalled .Net Framework back to 2.0. Is 1.0 or 1.1 the max that will work with XI?
Should I also try to uninstall all other Windows updates?
Thanks in advance for any help, Ed

X server won't start after recent catalyst-test and kernel upgrade

Hi,
after recent upgrade of catalyst-test (13.2) and kernel (3.7.5), my x server won't start with this log (WW) and (EE) only:

My card is mobility radeon hd 5700, I'm running on x86_64 system. I'm using aticonfig generated xorg.conf. I will provide any other information if needed.
I've tried:
- to downgrade to catalyst 12.8 and xorg 1.12 (screen just freezes after trying to get to X, only poweroff button works (system catches the signal and shuts down softly - no errors in Xorg.0.log))
- to use catalyst-total 13.1 / catalyst-generator 13.1 (Xorg.0.log says something about *not* compatible module - i can try it again and give you the whole log, it is probably another problem)
- to use open-source drivers (poor performance, overheating)
- to check nomodeset option (present at all kernel images in generated grub.cfg)
Unfortunately, I could not find any similar issue solved in past few days...

Downgrading kernel to 3.7.4 actually worked for catalyst 13.1. Anyone knows what could be wrong for linux 3.7.5?
Edit: catalyst-test 13.2 beta works with linux 3.7.4.

/var is a hidden folder, so you mustn't remove the folder.
The only solution is to reinstall OS X. If you have OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, use OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Hold Command and R keys while your MacBook is starting and reinstall OS X. You won't lose anything. If you have a backup, you can restore it after starting in OS X Recovery instead of reinstalling Mac OS X, so you will save a lot of time

Server won't start/Bad JVM?

Running CFMX7.02. After noticing that the Java version was
1.4 something (the version originally supplied with the product in
2006), and that I couldn't do things like use the "browse server"
controls in CFAdministrator without getting Java errors, I
repointed the CF engine to use the version supplied by Java on
their website today. Now the server won't start.
From the CF error log:
Error: no `server' JVM at `C:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03\bin\server\jvm.dll'.
Windows event log is no help, reporting that is has received
"server-specific error code 2". Based on the advice of some earlier
topic, I tried to restart the service with "interact with the
Desktop" checked, but no DOS window there.
Any ideas? I'd be happy to point CF back to its own version
of Java, if I could do so without interacting with the
Administrator (which requires starting the server).

Got it--and thanks for the extremely quick reply.
However, what can I do to fix the Java errors that keep me
from using the GUI file-browsing components in the CFAdministrator,
since I can't upgrade the main Java engine?

Reinstall OS X.
Reinstall Snow Leopard without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Messaging Server won't start up, or acts strangely

One of the config files has disappeared, or the Messaging Server
is acting "strangely".

Because of bugs in the Berkeley DB code, it is possible for a configuration
file to become corrupted. The Messaging Server will remove a severly
corrupted config file, but there is a threshold of corruption that may
impact server operation and may not cause files to be deleted.

If you notice that one of the config files is gone (your server won't start),
or that your server is acting strangely, DO NOT REPLACE IT WITH A BACKUP COPY.
This will most likely re-introduce the corruption. Instead, make note of
all the configuration changes you've made with the Messaging Server admin gui.
The easiest way to do this is to print out each page. Then replace the
config file with a clean one from the install directory or from the media.

Before re-starting the server, check each admin gui page to make sure it
matches your printout, and make any necessary changes. Then start the server.

The installed configuration files are located in the message spool area,
by default: /var/spool/postoffice/config and they are: 

Account-Handler 
Account-Manager 
AutoReply-Handler 
Configuration-Manager 
Dispatch 
Error-Handler 
Finger-Server 
IMAP4-Server 
MTA-Accounts 
Mailbox-Deliver 
POP3-Server 
Program-Deliver 
SMTP-Accept 
SMTP-Deliver 
SMTP-Router 
UNIX-Deliver 

Un-configured copies of all these files may be found under the directory
you installed the server at:

/install/server/data 

The fresh files will all have a .install appended to them.

Shut the computer dow, remove the power cord and all peripherals, wait for 30 seconds, replace the power cod and press the start button at the same time.
If you do not have the iSight, try the steps in [this|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300908] Apple article.

As you have backup you can try this:
Restore your master database backup to another instance of SQL Server and in the "To
database:" section of the Restore Database dialog box, use an alternate database name such as "recover_master" to avoid conflict with the master database on this instance of SQL Server. This will cause the mdf/ldf to be named "recover_master.mdf"
and "recover_master_1.ldf". Then detach the
recover_master database, go into the file system, copy the recover_master.mdf and recover_master_1.ldf to the instance of SQL Server with the corrupt master database. Delete the corrupt master.mdf and mastlog.ldf files, rename recover_master.mdf to master.mdf,
and rename recover_master_1.ldf to mastlog.ldf. Now you're ready to try starting the SQL Server service again!

Once master is online you can restore other database.

Mac Pro 1,1 won't start/boot up

Hi all,
I have a big problem with my Mac Pro 1,1 (2,66 Core, 6GB Ram) - it does not start up.
I tried to boot in safe mode, but boot process stopped (spinning circle freezes). Then I tried to boot in single user mode and checked the Harddrive with fsck... The Drive was modified and seems to be okay. But the mac won't start. I tried to boot from the original Snow Leopard DVD and i got an Kernel Panic. Then I tried to get access to myy Harddrive via Target Disk mode but the Harddrivw wasn't accessable for my Powerbook G4 which I used has the Host Computer.
I've resettet the PMU and the Ram - nothing helped.
When I start in Verbose Boot, the Mac shows the following Info:

Can anybody help me? Any Ideas?
Thank you !!!

Yes, that is what I wanted to know, and tells me it isn't with the hard drive or OS itself.
Not to fear, even English doesn't quite cut it at times.
I assume also you tried with ONLY minimum necessary:
mouse, keyboard and power to computer along with monitor.
If you have your OEM DVD that came with Mac Pro originally, that will not ever boot with original OS, your 8800GT requires 10.5.2 or later OS DVDs.
Your OEM DVD though does have Apple Hardware Test.
Hold 'D' on startup
See if that passes Extended Test.
And if you already did so, no need to do so again, repeated resetting SMC isn't a good idea. But unplug power and hit ON for 8 seconds (nothing happens) and then reconnect power and mouse/kb.
Make sure the 8800GT power is connected and card is (still) firmly seated.
Do a general check of everything, including Risers with RAM.

11.1.1.5 Presentation Server won't start automatically

Hi, gurus. Interesting problem with 11.1.1.5. 4 of 5 OBIEE services start automatically. Presentation Server doesn't. An excerpt from sawlog0.log is shown below. What's odd is that even though it fails when starting automatically, we can go into Fusion Middleware and start it manually - no problems there. So it can start, and from that point everything works great, it just won't start along with all of the other services.
Any ideas?

Alas, although out-of-sync GUIDs fit all of the clues, that wasn't the answer.
The problem still exists. Here's the relevant portion of the opmn.log file.
These first five sections represent an attempted start of all services in Fusion Middleware by clicking Start All
Request 1fa starts the BI Server successfully.
Request 1fb starts the BI Scheduler successfully.
Request 1fc attempts to start the Presentation Server but fails.
Request 1fd starts the Java Host successfully.
Request 1fe starts the Cluster Controller successfully.
So the Presentation Server will not start automatically as a part of Start All.
However, manually clicking 'Start Selected' for the Presentation Server (request 236 below) starts the service. So the short version is that we can start it manually, but not as a part of Start All.
