Newbie Setup - Fail2ban & MSMTP

Hi Guys
I've installed arch a couple of days ago and so far so good until today...
I installed msmtp instead of ssmtp due to the lack of development now, that's configured and can send mail through my gmail account. I then installed fail2ban and logwatch to monitor my ssh port for bruteforce and daily reports etc.
When i execute the logwatch pl i'm getting unmatched errors for fail2ban:
2013-08-27 09:38:04,530 fail2ban.jail : INFO Jail 'ssh-iptables' uses pyinotify
2013-08-27 09:38:04,694 fail2ban.jail : INFO Initiated 'pyinotify' backend

2013-08-27 09:38:05,197 fail2ban.actions.action: INFO HINT on 7f00: "Command not found". Make sure that all commands in 'printf %b "Subject: [Fail2Ban] SSH: started\nDate: `LC_TIME=C date -u +"%a, %d %h %Y %T +0000"`\nFrom: Fail2Ban <[email protected]>\nTo: [email protected]\\n\nHi,\\n\nThe jail SSH has been started successfully.\\n\nRegards,\\n\nFail2Ban" | /usr/bin/sendmail -f [email protected] [email protected]' are in the PATH of fail2ban-server process (grep -a PATH= /proc/`pidof -x fail2ban-server`/environ). You may want to start "fail2ban-server -f" separately, initiate it with "fail2ban-client reload" in another shell session and observe if additional informative error messages appear in the terminals.
2013-08-27 09:57:08,192 fail2ban.server : INFO Stopping all jails
I'm not 100% sure what's causing this but I suspect its something to do with the sendmail issue? I've gone through the arch wiki guide for setting up fail2ban and msmtp, changing my /etc/mail.rc file to point at msmtp instead of send mail.
Checking google and not having much luck so has anyone ever seen this before?
Thanks in advance
Dan

I have no idea what's going on here not having much experience in settting up web servers or java SDKs. But in order to learn the stuff I have planned to I need teh following to get up and running on Win2K.. any help is greatly appreciated.
Java JDK 1.4.

If I stick a standard html page in the tomcat root it will show just fine.. so I suspect the whole Java thing is buggin for some reason.

I ended up uninstalling every java this and that.. and tomcat.
Then installing only the j2sdk1.4.0_03 SDK.
Then set up JAVA_HOME for all users and modified the path with full path to the bin (c:\j2sdk1.4.0_03\bin)
Lastly I reinstalled tomcat and, voila, everything was working.
It can be quite maddening when you THINK you did everything by the boook and something doesn't work. When you replied and confirmed that I was on the right track.. uninstalling and trying yet again became les frustrating an option.
Thanks.
BTW- I needed this env to do the projects in what sems to be a very interesting book.. "macromedia Flash MC application design and development" by Jessica Speigel .. published by New Riders.
Her flash help website is at www.were-here.com.. the projects in the book are for flash-based multiplayer games and multi-user formums and such.

Newbie - Setup Xserve with Mac Os X 10.6 for small group

I already have infrastructure with DNS, DHCP, file storage etc.... I have a small group of users that will use Macs with OS 10.6 and a new Xserve. I only wnt them to autthenticte to OD on Xserve and thats it. And so I can see logs og their logins.. I will use Apple Remote Desktop but I guess will use it on another MaC not on server.
My background Novell Shop and MS mix, with Linux/Unix. I do Zenworks stuff.. So my question... Ho do I use the xserve only for OD authenticatin I ran through the install worksheet and setup my OD. And I have a MAC workstation im testing. I try to login on thta MAc to my OD server with an account I created on Xserve in Workgroup Manager. But when I login on MAC i see my full name then login window shakes and goes back to login window. I created another user account on server and created that account on MAC locally. I can login but I see no record on xserve password logs. When I login with network account that does not have local account on MAC and get the shaky window I see log on Xserver Password log and see authenticaiton.
On mac I setup to join the OD xserve and tahts it. What am I missing??

But I have another question. If there is a user locally on the MAC workstation and they try to login as th enewtork user, same shortname, it doesnt login with network password only local password. I set password on Network to that one on Local. they login but no hit to password service server log? We only want to use the server to Authenticate OD users and thats it. So can you have local user synch up to network? Or am i only stuck with network users and setting as you described?
This is the function of the Search Path. When binding to external domains, OS X will follow a search path defined in Directory Utility. However, DSLocal is always searched first, followed by BSD flat files, then external directories (AD, OD, LDAP, etc). DSLocal is ALWAYS first. This can not be changed. What this means is that if you have a user on the workstation named Bob Smith with a short name of bsmith and a password of letmein and a UID of 502 AND you create a user in the external directory named Bob Smith with a shortname of bsmith and password of hereiam and a UID of 1026, you will never reach the external directory during login. This is because the shortname bsmith will be hit in the DSLocal domain first as it is always the first directory encountered.
The way around this for systems that you are migrating is to delete the user's account plist and the chown the entire home folder. Now, this assumes that a local admin exists at account 501 already. If this is the case, then the bmsith account attributes (/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/bsmith.plist) file can be removed from the machine, effectively "deleting" the account without altering the user's data (/Users/bsmith). Then, if the machine is bound to the domain, all that is required in a chown of the /Users/bsmith folder so the UID value of the external directory account is set (1026).
And again, there seems to be some confusion about OS X and home folder types. Apple supports a lot. They are:
Local account with local home: This is the most common. Take machine out of box and create account. For IT, the local initial admin is this type of account. The user exists in the local domain and the home folder is in /Users.
Mobile (domain) account with cached attributes with local home: This requires are directory domain like AD or OD. For the AD plugin, this is default behavior. For OD it is very common. The machine is bound to a domain and on initial login, the user's account attributes are cached to the machine for offline use. This will create a "permanent" account in System Prefs and the user can use his or her domain credentials when offline. As an added feature using MCX, you can add home folder sync on top of this style.
Mobile (domain) account without cached attributes and network home: This is common in schools and training rooms. The workstations are always on the network so there is no need to cache the account nor do you want to litter the machines with local homes. A net home server is established and then users can freely move from machine to machine. On login, an automount share must be available to the workstation and the user uses domain credentials to access the network home. All data is stored in the central network location allowing for ultimate mobility of user.
Now there are also external homes (homes on external drives), guest accounts and more. But the three above are the most common.
Hope this helps all following the thread.

Good "Garageband newbie setup"

Greetings,
I have played acoustic guitar for 15 years off/on and I have a pretty good grasp of giving the late "night acoustic performance". Couple that with the fact that I have been a mac user for almost 5 years with 3 macs in my home I'm wanting to finally "learn" garageband. The problem is I have never understood amps, speakers, and digital music because I have never been down that road or had any interest.
I own three acoustic guitars. One of them is an old Takamine that have some pickups, all the others are plain. A few years ago I bought a Roland Micorcube and by using this amp together with the Takamine I can get some additional sounds/effects.
I have been toying with the idea of finally playing some music and perhaps recording some stuff. The other day I was using garageband, the Takamine, and the Roland Microcube. I plugged all of them in and then fed the "out" to the computer which the mac recognized as a "real" instrument. I recorded a little bit, laid a few tracks down, and just had fun with it. However, I think what I am trying to figure out is the best way to just transport the signal from the guitar to the mac and let the mac do the effects. I don't need the Roland to create any of this stuff as it seems it just "fakes" the garageband effects. Am I correct in describing this stuff?
Over the last week or so I have looked at some type of device that could transport the guitar sound to the mac. I have read about these Apogee products beeing good, but they seem confusing.
So my question is, where do I start when it comes to trasnport the sound from the guitar to the mac? The pickups on this old thing is not really great. Should I use a mic instead? Are there any other ideas? What do you guys use as a setup? I'm not opposed to spend some money if it is worth it in the long run.
//Cheers

If you can swing $249 for an interface, check out the Apogee One.
It lets you record electric guitar direct, use a microphone, and a unique feature, it has a built in mic. So basically this does everything you need it to without having to even plug in a microphone if you want to keep it simple. It also happens to be an awesome quality interface from a very well respected company. The only other thing you might need is a pair of headphones, but if you have any earbuds (like the ones that come with an iPod) then those will serve as your headphones. I have $250 headphones, but I often just use my Apple earbuds to keep things compact and simple.

JSP Newbie setup question

I installed Tomcat 4.0.3 and I had IIS running on my Win2k system. I thought I could make JSP work using IIS but I read somewhere that you have to make some modifications to get it to work. Then I realized that I had Apache 1.3 installed on my system. I know that Apache is running ok because I can successfully get to the default home page. However, after installing TomCat, the instructions tell you to browse http://localhost:8080 to get to the TomCat default page but I get a page not found error. Any ideas?

After looking at it further, your right, the Tomcat server didn't start. I thought it was running but it is not. I run the startup.bat file and it launches a window but it closes too quick to show me the error msg. I tried launching the shutdown command anyway and got this for an error:

Newbie setup question

I cannot see how to set up the software to 'grab' the result from a single sweep (single seq) event. I can do it fine on the scope (2024B), but not through the software interface from my laptop.
Scenario:
Photodetector (impedance matched) on Channel 1. Vert scale 20mV/div, Hor Scale set at 10uS/div. Trigger level at about 40mV. Click on "Single Seq" button, and system is 'Ready'. Fire a flash into the detector, the scope triggers and records the light pulse. No problem from the scope, but how do I do this from the software running on my tethered laptop, and how can I save the waveform (The USB Drive is way too slow!). I can see the Scope device ok, just cannot discern how to set things up.
Thanks in advance,
Roy Dunn.

I was afraid you were going to say something like that. My expertise is with NI and IVI equipment. Your problem is Tektronix specific. I will see who I can ping to give you a decent reply. In the meantime, you can try this:
Set up your scope with "sample" acquisition mode, "normal" trigger, and whatever trigger conditions are necessary for your particular signal (you should be able to do this from the step in SignalExpress). This will trigger at every event. However, from your previous posts, it appears you only have one event at very large intervals. If your scope has a local/remote control button, make sure it is set to remote control.
Add a save step from the File I/O menu to save the data from the scope step or log the output of the scope step. This will save your data to disk after a successful acquisition.
Run. At this point, nothing should happen until you trigger your experiment. Then you should see a single acquisition which is saved to disk by SignalExpress.
Stop. You may have to Abort.
The Tek folks monitor these boards, so you should get a better answer from them.

Newbie setup questions before I accidently wreck something, please!

Hi, I have a brandnew Macbook white. My IP is MSN and I'd like to know how to access the email in MSN Explorer?
Is there a way to transfer my favorites in MSN to bookmarks in Mac?
If I set up a MAC email, is there a charge for that? Do I tell everyone a new email address?
Does the internet screen ever cover the whole desktop? Mine is rather small but I don't want to change the resolution to enlarge it.
Thanks for any help; I'm afraid to change any parameters in case I wreck something, never having been a Macgirl before!

See this for help on Mail set up for the MacBook. http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/mail/
Is there a way to transfer my favorites in MSN to bookmarks in Mac?
Go into explorer and under File choose *Import and Export*. Pick *next in the window that pops up. From the choices choose *Export Favorites* then Next. Hit Next in the next window. Choose where you want to put the file. Then push Next and then Finish.
Now move the file so you can get to it from your MacBook. Open Safari and under File choose *Import Bookmarks* click on the file and they should import to Safari.
If I set up a MAC email, is there a charge for that? Do I tell everyone a new email address?
See this for more info on .MAC http://www.apple.com/dotmac/
Does the internet screen ever cover the whole desktop? Mine is rather small but I don't want to change the resolution to enlarge it.
Drag the following Java script to your Safari bookmarks toolbar and name it what you want. Then when you click it it will be full screen. This also work on SeaMonkey, OmniWeb and FireFox.
javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);

10.5 Server : Standard Installation : Newbie Tutorial / Setup Walk-Through

Hello all,
I recently setup OS X Server 10.5 for a client after doing it many times at my home. I could not have possibly done it without the help of this discussion board so thanks to everyone asking and answering questions!
To help other server newbies easily setup Server 10.5 (as apple claims), I'm hoping to make a basic installation procedure that will always work for newbies. Right now it's not exactly "detailed" - just the basic steps to ensure success.
Below is my setup procedure that has worked well for me (especially at my house). It's for a Standard installation; and we'll be setting up the server to include Mail (local only), iChat, VPN, File Sharing, iCal, Web Server/Wiki, Apple Remote Desktop access, and Time Machine (may not work well).
Please let me know if I'm missing something that will help ensure this setup works as perfectly as possible on any system.
+to help make sure this works, try using all the names i've used below (besides perhaps user names & passwords); like "server.house"+
*1) Setup Router*
• ensure router is properly connected to modem/internet
• router lan address = 10.0.2.1
• subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
• dhcp on
• dhcp server starts at = 10.0.2.9
• dhcp server ends at = 10.0.2.99
• dns server (opendns servers) = 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 (not a completely necessary step, but may help ensure it works)
• port forward to 10.0.2.2 = vpn (udp: 500, 4500; udp/tcp: 50)
• port forward to 10.0.2.2 = ard (tcp: 5900, 5988; udp/tcp: 3283)
*2) Install/Setup Server*
• startup server computer with installation cd and start installation process
• choose "Standard Installation"
• setup administrator account with the following settings:
user name: Administrator
short name: admin
password: admin
• setup network settings (choose manual configuration):
manual ip address = 10.0.2.2
subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
router = 10.0.2.1
dns server = 10.0.2.2
search domain = house
• primary dns server = server.house
• server name = server
+choose all the services and let installation complete; wait until desktop loads+
Verify things are initially okay:
• Open safari, and type "server.house" in the address bar (ensure wiki appears)
Good, now:
• Download latest 10.5 server combo update, install, restart.
• Run software update until all updates are installed (may require several restarts)
• Setup a dyndns account for your server, install dyndns software (make sure it's updating via web and the ip address doesn't start with 10.x)
*3) Setup Server Preferences*
• open server preferences
• go to file sharing: turn on file sharing
• go to vpn: turn on vpn
shared secret = somethingsecretive
ip address range = 10.0.2.101 - 10.0.2.199
• go to users
• make new user(s) with all options enabled
+you should now have all services in server preferences enabled (if not, enable them) and user names setup; for good measure, restart the computer again+
*4) Setup Client Computers*
+make sure client computers have all software updates installed before proceeding+
• Open system preferences: network
• Make a new location called "Server"
• Set TCP/IP to DHCP
• DNS Server = 10.0.2.2
• Search domain = house
• Click apply
It's probably a good time to double check that the internet works - open Safari and google something. Good, it works.
There are two ways to setup the client computers to connect to the server with basically no manual configuration needed:
First way:
Go to system preferences: accounts: select user name to associate with server: select "server account" (if available): enter appropriate info for user on server: wait a bit: restart computer
or (if "server account" isn't available):
Second way:
Open finder: applications: utilities: directory utility. once opened, it should automatically find your server. if it doesn't, click the lock, click "plus sign", type = "open directory", server name = server.house, click ok
• enter appropriate info to connect to server and ensure it's set to automatically setup all services, once finished - restart.
*5) If the automatic setup didn't work, here's how to manually setup the client workstations:*
Safari
• Open Safari and type "server.house" in the address bar, enter user/pass, make sure it connects to wiki.
iChat
• add new jabber account
• jabber id = [email protected]
• server = server.house
• port = 5222
• kerbos = on (you can leave off if you want)
You can test by connecting to your Jabber account
VPN
• open Network in system preferences
• click lock
• click "plus sign"
• interface = VPN
• vpn type = L2TP over IPSec
• service name = server
• server address = your dyndns address
• click advanced
• dns server = 10.0.2.2
• search domain = house
• click ok
• click authentication
• enter user's server password
• enter "somethingsecretive" in "shared secret"
• click ok - click apply
You can test by clicking "connect" - after verified, disconnect.
_File sharing_
• Open finder: click "Server" under "Shared"
• If it connects as guest, click "connect as"
• enter your server username/password
Drag a file to and from a folder to make sure file sharing works
Mail
• Add new mail account (imap)
• Incoming mail server = server.house
• Outgoing mail server = server.house
• Outgoing authentication = kerberos 5 (or password)
• user name = [email protected]
• enter password
Check to make sure you get the server welcome e-mail and that you can send email to other users on the server.
*Time Machine* (very problematic at this time)
• Open Time Machine in System Preferences
• Click "options"
• Eliminate as many folders as possible to keep backup times shorter; click done
• Click "change disk"
• Select "Server" disk; click "use for backup"
** I highly recommend using local SuperDuper! backups and/or Retrospect for networked backups to the server. Other options include the dot mac Backup application or online backups (google it).
*If you have PCs on your network that you want to be able to connect to the server for file sharing*
• Open Windows Explorer (my computer)
• Click tools: map network drive
• Enter "\\server\public" (or if you setup a user account on the server for the pc user(s) i think you can use "\\server\pcusername" - and follow the next two steps)
-Click "connect using different user name"
-Enter pc user account username/password
• save settings
Check to make sure the drive shows up and you can move files to/from server
Helpful info for newbies setting up server 10.5:
• Apple's Server Resources page with all manuals
• Probably the most helpful newbie setup discussion
• Probably the most helpful newbie setup discussion #2
• Discussion about DNS
• "Time Machine is a dog... discussion"
• Manage Central Address Book discussion
• Leopard to Windows Files Sharing Issues discussion
• Lynda's 10.5 Server Training Videos (this does cost money and I haven't personally used it, but it looks very helpful)
I hope that's a good start for people, but I'm sure some setting(s) can be tweaked or I missed something that could make this process go even more smoothly. Lets make this the definitive newbie standard installation setup tutorial.

Hi gikku,
Good idea! I forgot about the web server port forwarding, that will allow the wiki to be seen over the internet.
One question: what does adding the dyndns address to "Server Admin > web > settings > sites" actually do? I'm not too knowledgeable about Server Admin.
Thanks,

Cluster: automatic push of software from Active to passive node?

(Newbie) Setup: Two node cluster, active\passive.
After installing software on the active node will it (or any portion, e.g. config files) be automatically pushed to the passive node and kept in sync? Or am I required to install the same software on the passive node myself?
TIA,
edm2

To make sure your application can run from both cluster nodes, the executable should be installed on the same path on both nodes. This ensures that if the generic application fails over, the file upon which it depends are available on the
other cluster nodes.

Newbie with a Motif ES8 - optimum setup with a minimalistic approach?

hi,
I'm trying to decide on the optimum setup with a minimalistic approach!
I a newbie with the Motif ES8 and am at cross roads deciding on the type of computer setup for my VST.
PC + Cubase vs. MAC + Logic Pro or Logic Pro Express?
With MAC, how far do I need to go;i.e. MACBook Pro a must?
how many USB ports (types 400 vs 800), etc?
With Logic Pro, is Express going to be sufficient for a full soup to nuts recording and mastering given that this is for a home studio setup though with an idealist running it?
I'm a one woman show and so don't need too many inputs/outputs. I'd be recording a track at a time and my songs take up less than 16 tracks.
I would really appreciate any and all responses.
Roya
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

thanks for the detailed response PK
so, the extra USB port on the HD would facilitate a
hub type interface i.e. once you hook up another\
device to the HD via USB, you're really hooked up to
the computer.. right? and so, if I get a powered USB
Hub, this wouldn't really matter.. correct?
For the most part, you have to be careful hooking
too many devices up to a computer WHEN you are trying
to do some sound work. When they say a computer
can do ABC we sometimes think that should include D.
As for the sound interface, I already have an
Audiophile that has midi in/out, firewire to
computer, RCA jack for i/o. I know its not the high
end stuff but I hope to do a stepwise upgrade here if
at all possible..
That actually might work, if it supports at least
16 bit 44.1 khz that is the lowest you want to go.
Ideally it should be 24 bit to take advantage of Logics
24bit environment. You might be able to run the ES8
straight into those RCA jacks if they are SPDIF and your
keyboard has the same on the back.
There are a bunch of people on Motifator discussion
groups that warn against Apple's lack of support for
Logic. Not sure if the concern is only regarding the
combination of Yamaha (Motif) and Apple (Logic).
I went and read that thread, here are some of my thoughts
on some of this.
Can't comment on MAC, but a dear friend of mine who is an audio engineer said >he had walked away from Logic after Apple bought them out. "Straight downhill" >I think is how he put it.
Many windows users just hate Apple and their products.
I think much of it is ignorance. They will say
Macs are junk but when I ask them why
they never have an answer or say something
that is false. It sounds like this "professional"
did not even wait to see that Logic did get better.
Apple charges 200.00 for support of it's Professional
applications. You really do not need it since there are
so many experienced Logic users here that I never had
a question go unanswered. I've noticed on those forums
the same small group of people do most of the problem
solving. I am not overly impressed with Yamaha's support.
I had my questions about my keyboard answered quicker
by those forums. So I guess both companies need work
in this area. Frankly, for recording, I think the Motif
and Logic are a Killer combination. Both have steep
learning curves but once you get up to speed I think
the results speak for themselves. The main difference
in my opinion is that the Motif is the ultimate
performance tool and Logic is the ultimate studio toolshop.
After having a Motif for over a month, I am convinced
it has a steeper learning curve than Logic take for instance
that thread on getting your keyboard to record it's own
audio output. The list of things to do each time is as long
as my arm. In case you did not read it here it is.
First thing – STORE your MIX setup and SAVE the Song to SmartMedia (or USB mass storage device) before resampling it so you have a backup. You would create a mix to balance the instruments the way you like them.
* Select a target track, then press the [INTEGRATED SAMPLING] button.
Setup the parameters for resampling:
* Press [F1] DEST
* Select a TRACK and [KEYBANK] (note) into which you will record the resampled data. You can target either an empty track or the track on which you are going to play (if you are going to play along). If all tracks are full, don't worry, you can still resample anyway.
* Press [F2] SOURCE. Set the source parameters as follows:
- Type = Sample - with this type the Integrated Sampling Sequencer will not create any NOTE-ON data in your sequencer, it will just simply add a new sample waveform to the waveform list
- Source = Resample
- Mono/Stereo = Stereo
- Next = OFF
- Frequency = 44.1k
* Press [F6] REC This will place the sampling sequencer in Standby mode. Set the TrggrMode paramter to Manual
* Press Start on the sequencer and check your levels. If too low set the REC GAIN higher +6bB or +12dB, if the level is to high (clipping- you will see a lightning bolt) lower the GAIN to -6dB or -12dB. When you have checked the levels, press STOP and return to the top of the SONG.
* Press F6 REC to start the Resample, Press [>] (play) to begin recording the resample. The Motif ES will draw the wave as it samples.
* When the song is over press [F6] STOP. The Motif ES will take a few moments to gather the data.
To create the .wav file:
* Press [FILE]
* Press [F1] CONFIG
* Press [SF1] CURRENT
* If you will be saving the resampled song to a SmartMedia Card set the Current parameter to CARD. To save to a USB device, set this parameter to USB
* Press [F2] SAVE
* Set the data TYPE field to WAV
* Cursor down and Name the wave
* (If desired, navigate to the subdirectory where you want to save the *.wav file.)
* Press [ENTER]
* The ES will ask you which TRACK and NOTE to save as a wave file. Enter the values you selected as the sample destination in the procedure above.
* Press and hold the AUDITION button to make sure your sample is there.
* Press [ENTER] and the Motif ES will export the sample as a .wav to your SmartMedia card or USB device.
Once you have configured Logic which are takes about
3 minutes (and only has to be done once)
and set up the keyboard which takes 30 seconds.
(this has to be done once for each session)
you plug your keyboard into your audio interface then
Hit Record
that is the whole list, two words.
Once it is in Logic, you have many way to edit it
and process if needed. The midi is much
easier to manipulate and there are more
ways than the ES has keys. Plus you can add to the
sounds with the internal instruments which are
as sophisticated and as high quality as the ES.
Then if your happy with it you can create MP3's
and burn Red book compliant CD's for
commercial duplication.
It really is a complete setup.
But at any rate I'm going to do some more research on
another scenario, i.e. what about MAC and Cubase? As
you may know Yamaha just acquired Cubase..
I dont think I would be the best to comment on that.
Maybe ask one of the Gurus on the unofficial
website for Cubase, The Cubinator.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
you've been very helpful - thanks again
cheers,
Roya
Cheers!
P.S. I agree with Dave, If you have a Macbook
Pro you dont need another computer. If you
wanta desktop whatever reasons I understand
Oh and btw, what's QWERTY?
They are the first 6 keys (top row/left to right)
on your computer keyboard

A newbie cry for connection/setup help

Hello people... my first post, so greetings all (and forgive the length of this content; I figure more info is better than not enough).
I'm located in an out-of-the-way area without much available support so I am being required to learn to install and manage a network/server setup myself, despite my relatively novice experience in those areas. Looking forward to bothering you as little as possible (through research and the Mac's "relative" ease-of-use), but hope for your assistance when it is mandatory. As it seems to be at the moment...
Current situation:
• Temporarily using an "AirPort" Express (I'm in Japan) for access (using DHCP, so acting as bridge?) to the Net via cable modem.
• Have this here MacBook Pro (Intel Core Duo) and 3 G4s (APG) all connected over the wireless network w/o trouble and all running 10.4.9.
Trying to accomplish:
1. I have been issued static IP addresses by my provider and would "like" to setup an AEBSt (Extreme) as the gateway router,
2. move the Express to another room for relay/roaming purposes,
3. setup one of the G4s as a domain/mail/ftp server, and
4. ultimately connect a printer, etc., to the AEBSt via Ethernet/USB and a hub.
Taking one problem at a time, following the manual and AirPort Utility, etc., I believe I "basically" setup the AEBSt correctly; the wireless LAN network is visible and connectable w/o any trouble, but, naturally, I'm unable to connect to the Net -- neither Web nor mail works.
Maybe I shouldn't be guessing, but I "think" the problem is in relation to the router/gateway address(es). Of course, I'd also like to/should verify my other settings at the same time for whomsoever might have time to look at this matter for me. so:
Settings I have made in the Extreme:
• Airport
- Base Station tab
. Standard info/PW entered
. Allow configuration over Ethernet WAN port: OFF
- Wireless tab
. Wireless Security: WAP/WPA2 Personal
- Access control tab
. MAC Address Access Control: Not Enabled (though I may try using this, once everything is up and running)
• Internet
- Internet Connection tab
. Connect Using: Ethernet
. Configure Ipv4: Manually
Here is where I "think" the problem may be. When I enter the LAN and WAN side router IP addresses respectively in the IP Address and Router Address fields, I get a message that says the router address is not "compatible" with the WAN IP address. This led me at first to believe that the "IP Address" field is the WAN side, and the "Router Address" field for the LAN side IP. Same message though. So... I guess I need WAN or LAN side info only in this window...(?)
While entering either of these sets of addresses then allows me to continue and update the AEBSt, the Internet connection still doesn't work. I thought that a router requires both the LAN side as well as the WAN side info to be entered... may I simply be entering the wrong IP addresses in the wrong place...???? Presently, I have the WAN side IP/Mask and router info registered.
* Interestingly, the info for this AEBSt that appears whenever a new browser window is opened shows the IP Address as the default: 10.0.1.1. Open the actual configuration, though, and the IP address that shows up in the Summary and the Internet Connection tabs are the same. i.e., what I registered... Is the default the LAN side IP then? How, or can I, change that to fit the addresses I was allotted for the LAN side...???
- DHCP tab
. Selected 10.0.1.x for the range.
. Beginning as 2 and ending at 200.
. Lease at 4 hours.
. Blank LDAP server, and I added 2 reservations, one for the would-be server (10.0.1.2) and the other for a printer (10.0.1.10).
* I'm presuming that I only have the "need" to use a static IP address for the AEBSt (as entered in the "Internet Connection tab"), and the server and any other printers, etc. (reserved here); the other computers could continue receiving addresses via DHCP from the AEBSt as at present (though the correct domain IP to register for the sever would then be another issue for later... i.e., is it the IP address for the AEBSt)...??
- NAT tab (for installing the domain server)
. Enable default host at: OFF
. Enable NAT Port Mapping: ON and Selected FTP/Web Sharing/POP Mail with SSL
• Advanced
- Logging & SNMP and Bonjour tabs (left alone)
- IPv6 tab
. IPv6 Mode: Tunnel
. Block incoming IPv6 connections: ON
. Configure IPv6: Automatically
Then, using my MacBook Pro to test, and setting TCP/IP for the AirPort card to "Using DHCP", I'm being allotted 10.0.1.2 (even though that's supposedly reserved for the server), a mask of ...2555.0 and the router as that 10.0.1.1 (the default for the AEBSt).
* These, BTW, are the same settings that are working in the current Express setup.
That's it folk... I understand the logistics of remote diagnostics, but if anyone has an ideas... or needs more info... THANKS in advance!

Duane, thank you for your response (and sorry about the long, difficult-to-clarify post).
The main problem is actually that I simply can't connect to the Net through the AEBS (Web or mail -- I'm using a POP and SMTP server in the US for testing purposes).
I did what you noted and eliminated the DHCP reservations for 10.0.1.2 and 10.0.1.10 (and will issue static IPs for the server and printer, etc., that are outside the AEBS's set range when I end up actually setting up those devices), however in order to test the Internet connection first, I actually have only this MacBook Pro "on"/online. So there should be no address interference problem in that regard at the moment, right?
As I noted, the LAN network runs fine and I get 10.0.1.2 for this computer's IP (did a quick temp connection of another computer and it received 10.0.1.3, so the DHCP distribution seems to be working fine as well). Just get no response at all with the Web browser and email app.
Am I correct in presuming the 10.0.1.1 IP that shows as the default for the AEBS is the LAN side info and the IP and router parameter's I set in the Configure Ipv4 fields is for the WAN side? If so, then the settings all appear fine, and I even did the 'ol leave the cable-modem off all night and restart JIC, but to no avail.
From my perspective, the only thing I can see that is different setting-wise is that I was given static a IP address for my LAN side of the router as well, and that naturally differs from the default 10.0.1.1 in the AEBS. I can't find any way to change that IP address though...

Newbie need help with Web BEx setup!

Out of curiosity, I decided to install Netweaver so I can have a play with it. I am a complete newbie to Netweaver therefore I apologise if this is out of context...
Here's my question:
How do one go about getting Web BEx to work?
Whenever I activate the link in the portal, I get an error about unknown "SWITCH_AXES" command and 0ANALYSIS type 4 error. I search the forum and the few passing mentions of the problem points to OSS notes that is only accessible through service marketplace (which I don't have an ID). I have check the object types in BI content and seems that 0ANALYSIS is already activated. There must be something I am missing. Tried blindly and randomly installed other BI content (mostly Web templates and objects) but to no avail (and encounted a few short dumps).
Any help is greatly appreciated!
So far, here're what I did:
1) Install Netweaver 2004S ABAP and Java on the same machine. Instance 00, 01 and 02 respectively.
2) Try to run BI-Java template installer, but met with error part way. So some of the steps are done manually.
3) Set up SLD (both instance are in the landscape), and 'partially' set up SSO. Partially as while JAVA to ABAP seems to work, ABAP to JAVA is not working. Anoying but livable.
4) Installed TREX (instance 03) and are seen by ABAP and JAVA.
5) ABAP is seen in the portal and I can create transactional iviews and put them in the Portal (with working SSO).
6) Did reverse-proxying with Apache, but I don't think it matters as it seems to be a backend module issue.
7) Business planning/wizard is working (in ABAP and Portal) as is Broadcast. As you can see, Web BEx is the only thing that is not working

The default link for Web Analyser in EP 7 seems to point to the new template. When opening the analysis template in the new BEx windows tool, the same error is being reported. Using 3.5.x WAD, I can't locate the template.
More on this issue Although for that case, the meta data is not installed. Is there a way to trace missing component and reinstall the needed BI content in RSA1?
BTW, these are on JAVA SP9 and ABAP SP11.

Help needed- newbie trying to setup xerces XML pasrer

Hello all,
I am new to Java and XML.
I am trying to write a simple java program that will use the xerces parser and will read the XML file.
I have installed xerces 2.8.0 and put in on a specific location on my hard drive.
I also added the xercesImpl.jar file to the CLASSPATH variable.
I am trying to compile this code:
import org.xml.sax.XMLReader;
public class SAXParserDemo {
public void performDemo(String uri) {
System.out.println("Parsing XML File: " + uri + "\n\n");
// Instantiate a parser
XMLReader parser = new SAXParser();
public static void main(String[] args)
if (args.length != 1)
System.out.println("Usage: java SAXParserDemo [XML URI]");
System.exit(0);
}//IF
String uri = args[0];
SAXParserDemo parserDemo = new SAXParserDemo();
parserDemo.performDemo(uri);
}//MAIN
The error I get is on this line : XMLReader parser = new SAXParser(); stating that it cannot find SAXParser.
What am I doing wrong? is there something else I need to import?
Help will be much appreciated.
Sorry for the newbie question.
Cheers,
Mike

The error I get is on this line : XMLReader parser =
new SAXParser(); stating that it cannot find
SAXParser.
What am I doing wrong? is there something else I need
to import?Well, yeah. Your code shows you already know how to use the "import" statement. The compiler says it can't find SAXParser, and you correctly suspect that you need to import something. So the logical step: you need to import SAXParser.
But you don't know what package it's in, right? Well let me just look it up in the API documentation for you... here it is... javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser. Take note of the existence of documentation for the next time you have this sort of question.

Newbie... setup of dev environment?

ok, so i'm new to JSP. i just grabbed a <i>Teach Yourself JSP in 24 Hours</i> book from the local B&N. but they don't cover the setup of the development environment. i understand that i can use a text editor to edit jsp's, and i've got Tomcat 4 and the 1.3 JDK installed... but when i try to view jsp's in a browser, i get internal server errors.
anyone willing to help me get up and running?

The examples given here should get you running. Still, if you have problems...you can answer these questions to help us to help you better.
1. Is the JSPs given by tomcat are running properly ???
2. What is the stacktrace of the internal server error ???
3. Are you sure that it is internal server error (http status code 500 ) and not file not found ( http status code 404 ) or any other 400 series http errors ?
4. Where are you keeping your JSPs ?
5. Is the server getting the path to the JDK ( in order to invoke javac.exe to compile your JSPs ? )
6. Are you trying to set up a new web application ?
7. Any other info that you may have ??

Newbie looking to setup home virtual lab to do Windows Server 2012 R2 Labs for school

I went through this once and I couldnt get past "12. Click Domain and type Contoso.com in the text box. Click OK" without an error.
I uninstalled all machines and VMware entirely, reinstalled VMware and then reinstalled machines, went though the guide again, same error when trying to connect the app server to the contoso.com domain.
Here's a screenshot of the error:
I also tried changing both machines to bridged connection, no luck, as well as NAT connection, still no luck.
Any help is greatly appreciated... Thanks guys!
