MySql Database set up on Snow Leopard Server for Wordpress

I am trying to set up a mySql database on the snow leopard server in order to install wordpress.
I have played around with the MySql database settings (in the server admin window) but can't seem to figure out how to set the database name, username, and password within the Snow leopard server.
Do I need to use third party software like Navicat to create the database and user names etc? If yes, any idea how to do that? If now, how do I create a MySql database, username and pw?
I have put the Wordpress install folder on my Snow leopard server. When I navigate to my domain it says I need to configure wordpress by providing my database name, username and password.
Thanks in advance.. I am struggling here.

That's set up via the [MySQL command line|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/376]. Or you can install the (free) Sequel Pro GUI package, given you're probably more comfortable in the GUI. The steps required for Mac OS X Server are the same as most any other platform, so [launch the MySQL client per the Wordpress Codex|http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress], and follow the instructions.

  • Configure DNS on Snow Leopard Server for Web Hosting

    Hi Everyone,
    I put together an article on my blog about Snow Leopard DNS setup for web hosting. http://www.mkahn.com/?p=279
    I'll be revising it over the next few weeks to make it more informative based around feedback. Let me know if you have any questions or trouble setting up DNS on Snow Leopard Server for web hosting.

    Thanks for your replies. I realize I'm not making clear the way this network is configured . Also, the only services running on the Snow Leopard server are (at this time):
    dhcpd - in the 10.136.31.x range;
    dns - same as before;
    planned to add are:
    Open Directory (for network logins)
    Software update;
    Web (only on the 10.136.31.x Ethernet);
    mySQL (localhost only - for moodle);
    NAT is not set up on the Snow Leopard server itself. We have an outside router, a Cisco 2811. This router provides routing for both the public IP range, and the NAT range is configured in this router. The forwarding dns is located in LR and Fayetteville. So what I need is dns on Snow Leopard to forward outside queries to the state DNS servers, and resolve the local NAT IP only for Open Directory and a set of Snow Leopard clients.
    Is this going to be possible?

  • Snow Leopard server for 10.7 netboot image

    Hi Everyone,
    I am trying to create a netboot image of 10.7 using snow leopard server but it is not working. I have already created an image of Lion and then tranfered it over to my server (Snow Leopard). I have scanned the image for restore (not sure if this is needed) and then mounted it using Disk Utility. Now when I lauch SIU then i don't see my pre-created image as image source.
    Can i create netboot image of 10.7 using Snow Leopard?
                                            OR
    If I created the netboot image using Lion Server and then tranfer the files over to Snow Leopard Server for all my client. Can i do this?
    Thanks,

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks for your help.
    So if I create the 10.7 netboot image using 10.7 server and then move the NetBootSP0 folder to SL server then it should be working, right?

  • Snow leopard server for net boot and software updates only what needs to be running to use it?

    Snow leopard server for net boot and software updates only what needs to be running to have it work right?

    Netboot and Software Update, at its simplest.  Mac OS X Server also expects to have functional IP networking and DNS services (somewhere) on the LAN (and if you're behind a NAT gateway, then the DNS server(s) are on your LAN and not out at your ISP), or things get weird.  SUS (usually) works out of the box, outside of cases where there's an outbound firewall.  Netboot can be more effort to setup, in terms of what you're loading into the clients.

  • Setting up Snow Leopard Server with Address Book, iCal for Small Business

    Hello Folks,
    I have a small business with 2-3 people and I want to setup Snow Leopard Server on a Mac Mini. I have everything in place, RAID, Backup drive etc.
    What I need is a guide on how to setup the server correctly and how to setup Address Book Server, iCal Server, DNS, etc. I was in IT a long while back but have gone back to my creative roots and sworn off IT but I am in a situation where my IT guy's wife is pregnant so he is busy painting the baby's room, etc.
    I was looking at Snow Leopard Server for Dummies and a few other books. Do you guys have any suggestions on resources for me to read or research that would give me very straightforward steps in getting this setup. I am at a point where I can re-install from scratch if needed.
    For the ease of those that might respond let's assume I know my way around Mac and general networking as a whole.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.
    Cheers,
    Jason

    Hi Guys,
    First of, I will give you a brief background on me regarding networking as a mac user since 1994. I can setup and network multiple macs without a server in our home and small office. Turning file, print and internet sharing with a regular Mac OS X client version at no problem at all. This would be my first time setting up a Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server.
    I'm in the same boat as Jakekub but we do not have a static IP from our DSL provider. We just bought a Mac Mini Server for our small office with 3 iMacs and 1 MacBook. We will just use the server for internal usage and to centralized things out and use some of server's features like Address Book, Mail, iCal etc. I've search the forums and found Orhidy's post here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2148553
    I even followed the sample IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS Server and I think I had it correctly setup initially. And I think I got it all running on the basic setup base on his instructions. So I tried to test my DNS settings via Terminal > hostname then got answer as
    servername.companyname.private
    And double checking DNS again with a command: sudo changeip - checkhostname and was given an answer of:
    Primary address = 192.168.1.192
    Current Hostname = servername.companyname.private
    DNS Hostname = servername.companyname.private
    The names match. There is nothing to change
    dirserv:success = "success"
    But here's another one that bugs me. I tried to follow from "Mac OS X Snow Leopard for Dummies" the command line:
    NSLOOKUP hostname
    and got an answer of:
    ;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 192.168.1.192, trying next server
    Server: 192.168.1.1
    Address: 192.168.1.1#53
    ** server can't find hostname: NXDOMAIN
    So does it mean that I still haven't configured my server properly?
    Thank you all for the help in advance!

  • I've got Snow Leopard Server, but don't need the server functions. What to do?

    This is somewhat complicated, so please bear with me. My Mac Pro was running OS X 10.5 and required updating. But we have legacy Power PC apps (mainly FreeHand) that we want to continue using, even though Mountain Lion doesn't support them.
    As a solution, I'm going to run Snow Leopard Server in emulation on Parallels 8 Desktop. I would rather have used plain old Snow Leopard instead of the server version, but Apple's EULA only allows 10.6 Server to run in emulation.
    So, I got Snow Leopard Server and have used it to upgrade 10.5. Eventually, (once I get everything working properly), I'll upgrade that to Mountain Lion and use SL Server in Parallels emulation to run the old Mac apps we can't do without.
    But I've run into a problem I didn't anticipate: I don't have a clue about running a server.
    I'm having trouble setting it up so the other Mac user in my department can access a shared folder. Also, I want the login window to display the list of users, but that option is grayed out.
    What I'd like to do is strip out all the server functions and just run as if 10.6.8 was a standard version of Snow Leopard, which I'm familiar with. If that's not practical, please explain how to get sharing to work since that's the main problem.
    I've tried turning off the services listed in the Server Preferences (iCal, Mail, etc.) but that hasn't fixed the problems. I think there may be server functions running that I haven't found preventing me from fixing the problems. Or it could be something else entirely (as I said, no clue).

    DON'T MAKE A MOUNTAIN (lion?) OUT OF A MOLEHILL!
    Several points in response to your post, in chronological order, not necessarily in order of importance:
    •  It was a common Urban Myth that Snow Leopard (client's) EULA prohibited its virtualization in Lion or Mt. Lion on a Mac!  That myth has been largely debunked in the last 18 months.
    Here are detailed instructions on how to install Snow Leopard client into Parallels 7 or 8:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
    That being said, and being the author of the aforementioned thread, I STRONGLY recommend that, where possible, you use Snow Leopard Server in favor of Snow Leopard client.  This will side step some later corruption problems that can arise from the improper use and shutting down of this Parallels partition.
    Historically, this thread was written when Apple sold Snow Leopard Server for $499+ or ceased sales altogether.  Now, Apple has rendered the (now diminishing) debate over the EULA moot, by its recent release of Snow Leopard Server to the US & Canadian community for $20; leaving those who cannot purchase SLS (or get someone to purchase it for them) to continue to follow the instructions in my thread (or asking me to purchase SLS for them and forward it to them; my preferred course of action!).
    •  I ALWAYS recommend that data files be stored on the real Mac's HDs and NOT in a virtualized world.  This is easy to accomplish and establishes a backup regimine (Time Machine, etc.) that will protect the users data.  Lost applications are easily restored from their installer discs.
    •  In practice I find that using SLS in Parallels 8 is the same as using SL client in Parallels.  I have even removed the Server apps from the Dock so as to not be confused by them.
    So, your solution is to establish a "shared folder" on the hard drive of the Mac that is hosting Parallels.  When in SLS in Parallels you will have access to your shared folder, ironically through Parallels' "Shared Folders" feature that is now present in Mac OS Guest installs on version 8 (see the "Shared Folders" SERVER on the right side of the screenshot, below).
    When using Freehand MX or other PowerPC apps, save your data files into your shared folder through access to it by Parallels' Shared Folders.  Other users on your network will have access to the SAME data files, through their customary use of file sharing to access your shared folder from your Mac's hard drive.
    IGNORE the Server applications in the Applications folder...
    Freehand MX running in Snow Leopard Server installed into Parallels 8 for use in Lion or Mt. Lion:

  • Snow Leopard Server and Spotlighting iDisk

    I have set up a Snow Leopard server from scratch and have enabled iDisk with my MobileMe account. Spotlight says that indexing is enabled for the iDisk volume but it won't show any results. All other volumes are working correctly with Spotlight, and I have used mdutil and have added to the privacy list and removed again to reindex the volume. Has anyone else had issues with Spotlight and iDisk?

    Okay, I have now managed to setup up the server. I did this by creating a Open Directory Master and then binding that to our Active Directory. I have setup Active Directory and LDAP binding on the client Macs.
    I then added a user from AD into Workgroup Manager and applied a few preferences. They worked brilliantly. However, the computer Workgroup Manager preferences are not working at all! Is there a different way to add computers to Workgroup Manager (I added them by using the + sign and dragging them in from AD) and is there a way to automatically add a computer once it's joined to the domain, like it goes in to AD?

  • Where to buy Snow Leopard Server? OEM okay?

    All,
    I have half a dozen XServe (late 2008 machines) to upgrade from Leopard Server to Snow Leopard Server. I have been investigating how to go about doing this and have a couple of questions:
    1) does Apple still sell this software? If so, how the heck to I order it? Searching for Apple software in the Store is an exersize in futility!
    2) I've found several suppliers of OEM versions of Snow Leopard Server for impossibly low prices. I have installation media, I simply need the license keys; is this a good route to go?
    Thanks for the feedback, everyone!
    -Brian

    1) does Apple still sell this software? If so, how the heck to I order it? Searching for Apple software in the Store is an exersize in futility!
    This is a question a lot of people have. There's no clear answer, other than Apple don't seem to offer it any more.
    2) I've found several suppliers of OEM versions of Snow Leopard Server for impossibly low prices. I have installation media, I simply need the license keys; is this a good route to go?
    There is no such thing as an OEM version of Snow Leopard Server - or of any Mac OS X System.
    Since Apple develop and sell both the software and the hardware, there's no OEM market - it's not like you can buy a Dell or a HP with Mac OS X installed (which would be an OEM version of Mac OS X for Dell or HP).
    Therefore, any site offering an OEM version of Mac OS X is absolutely, definitely, 100% a scam.
    At best they're reselling older copies (which is questionable), at worst they're a malware farm trying to con you into installing fake software, or charging you for something they can't deliver.

    where can I get/ buy/ download snow leopard os so I can run PowerPC..

    If you are outside of the USA & Canada, the Apple Store will not ship you Snow Leopard Server.  You must have someone in the USA or Canada purchase it for you and then trans-ship it to you, which, of course, will increase the shipping costs. 
    Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 + sales tax & shipping costs at 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only).
    Another alternative is to purchase Snow Leopard client and install that into Parallels 8:

  • MySQL Workbench on Remote Snow Leopard Server

    How do I connect to MySQL on Snow Leopard Server using Workbench ???
    I have freed up some of the permissions, such as port 3306, in the firewall section of Admin. However,
    this has not done the job and need to keep a firewall on a server running remotely. It is necessary to connect to MySQL before you install the database. It is needed because you must connect to the server in order to install the database enabling the script of the SQL file. I get an error that says: "Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet,' error 61." This happens when I press the button in Workbench that says: "Test Connection." I can go into MySQL and enter a password and create a database. This is necessary to load the actual data at a later time. I am also using Cold Fusion. This, too, is waiting for a connection to the MySQL server from Workbench.
    Any ideas ???? Thx, Ted

    If this is Adobe Workbench as I might suspect, that's probably the wrong tool to use for troubleshooting connections and related.
    Try [Sequel Pro|http://www.sequelpro.com> or another similar tool.
    If you're running remotely via VPN, that adds additional complexity to the configuration. As part of both local and particularly remote testing, using light-weight diagnostics (such as ping) would be warranted. This before running any juggernaut-class packages over the link.
    (Put bluntly, very few juggernaut-class software packages from most any vendor will generate decent diagnostics for network errors.)

  • Upgrade MySQL in Snow Leopard Server

    Hi all. This is my first post.
    I have a Mac Mini Server with Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 (aka. Snow Leopard Server)
    wanted to update the native MySQL. I followed these instructions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4006
    Now I know that it is parallel installation of MySQL.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15535136#15535136
    Finally,I installed MySQL 5.5.15 from MySQL.com (x86 dmg file)
    Now I have three MySQL servers in the system. Runs only the oldest (native 5.0.92)
    I want to:
    1) Remove unnecessary MySQL servers.
    2) I would like to MySQL service could be run in the Server Admin.app. If this is not possible to run the “MySQL Preference Pane” in System Preferences.
    If this is not possible then I would be able to run in "MySQL Preference Pane" in System Preferences.
    Working with AS is probably possible.http://www.jamesbantz.com/2010/08/08/upgrading-mysql-on-mac-os-x-10-6-snow-leopa rd-server/#more-172 (See step 6)
    Now I have a “little problem” with the distinction which files belong which MySQL.
    Please help
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forums.
    The cited Apple directions in HT4006 are for adding headers and client components for Mac OS X Server for MySQL, and not particularly for upgrading MySQL on Mac OS X Server.  (That may well cause problems.)
    How good are your pre-installation backups?  I'd roll those in, and undo the HT4006 changes, and (if you're not going to scratch this whole upgrade) follow what Mr Bantz describes in his posting.
    Irrespective of the particular path followed here, you do also still get to "own" all of these changes, including the on-going maintenance and upgrades, which means that you own any security problems, the inevitable software upgrades and updates, and whatever other fixes might be needed.
    Alternatively, consider moving to Mac OS X Server Lion (10.7), as it does not contain MySQL, so you can load whatever MySQL you want and (so long as you keep it from getting tangled with PostgreSQL) you're good to go.
    I would not generally expect to be able to use Server Admin or the other tools to use or manage your local MySQL.  The Server Admin tools are not set up for these sorts of changes and have a history of getting tangled when the underlying servers are changed.   If you do manage this goal and do have Server Admin working and whether following Mr Bantz's directions or via some other means, then your changes still might not survive any particular future Mac OS X Server upgrade, or Server Tools upgrade.  (Which means you'll have to debug and rework the changes, or find somebody that has figured out what broken and follow those instructions.)
    If you discover you have the need for these sorts of upgrades often, I'd suggest loading and using Linux or one of the BSDs.  Installing newer versions of stuff means more work and sometimes far more work, and tends to un-do what Apple provides, and tends to cause problems like you've encountered here.  In all seriousness, Linux or BSD is the platform you'll want, if you find yourself tweaking; they're set up for exactly this sort of tweaking.  Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server aims at a different market.

  • Why can't Firefox set permissions for Snow Leopard Server Web-Site Wikis

    I've established a web-site for collaboration of planning for a state-wide NGO and a local citizens-government oversight commission.
    I'm using Snow Leopard Server v10.6.4, to drive the web-site, which includes the use of wikis.
    In creating a wiki and setting permissions, I find that I cannot set permissions for users or groups to 'read only' from the default 'read & write' while using Firefox. However, I CAN set them to 'read only' using Safari. And, once the permission has been modified in Safari, THEN it can be modified in Firefox.

    Solution found at http://michaeljin.wordpress.com/2010/01/05/locked-out-of-mac-os-x-server/
    It’s blog update time! Updates have been a little scarce lately, been super busy with getting trophies on PS3
    Anyway, recently encountered the following with a Mac mini server running Snow Leopard Server:
    Despite being able to ARD / Screenshare the Mac mini, I was unable to get any further than the login window. Authentication credentials are obviously valid. No weird access permissions have been set. However, the weird thing was, I can connect to the server via Server Admin tools (from another Mac) and all other services were running without a hitch.
    After much head scratching it turns out to be a sACL (Service Access Control List) issue.
    This thread solved the mystery!
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1654864
    To save you the trouble, I’ll lay it out here. I cannot take credit for this, but Randall can!
    Open Server Admin on a computer (any), and connect with the local admin to the machine.
    Select the server and authenticate.
    Select Settings, then go to Access. You’ll want to make sure that Login Window and SSH have the local admin account listed if you select the option to “Allow only these users”. For now, I would suggest making sure all services have “Allow all users and groups” selected.
    If (as in my case) it was set to Allow All in the first place, simply toggle the settings – back and forth.
    Save.
    Try logging in again… should be a good one!

I'm almost to the point of deleting snow leopard and installing Ubuntu server in its place.  I have no budget for buying an OS upgrade (our budgets have been cut >35%). so if snow leopard server cannot be upgraded (I see no technical reason for not doing so on Apple's part- I have this version on mysql running on an old FreeBSD 7 server for a trouble ticket server).
    No, upgrading to a new version of the Mac server is not an option.

    Grant, thank you so much for the quick reply.  Yes, you're right, the tower is heavy as sin!  Our more recent computers out west are iMacs which are much easier for us to deal with.  We do have the tower upright.  Bill just moved it here to our vacation house for the winter.  Is it possible [don't underestimate him] that he could have inadvertantly opened the tower DVD slot and a decidedly important part fell out during the disconnect in B'ham?  The discs don't seat themselves.  It's like they're too large by just a smidge and won't sit level in the depression.  As I close the tray the top of the opening scrapes the disc off.  It won't let it go inside so I can begin the struggle with the install itself.
