OS X server and Ubuntu 14

I have used Windows XP  software for the networking about 6 computers which include both an OS X Mavericks machine and an Ubuntu 12.04 machine. This has worked OK for years but offers little securtity and XP is disappearing and so I decided to get a Mac Mini and OS X server and use the mini as the file server. All was fine on the Windows machines and the OS X one but the Ubuntu machine sees the Mini server but gets an error "Can't retrieve ----" when one tries to open the shared files.
I really am very keen to make this network setup work rather than having to use Ubuntu as a server. The OS X server software is really nice and easy to use.
Any suggestions, I have searched and it seems to have been a common  problem but I can't find a simple solution.
Jeremy

I'm assuming you aren't worried about permissions or ACL's....
The easiest way is probably going to be to export the share via NFS on the mavericks server to the IP address or subnet of the client machines. Basically you create the /etc/exports file and put something like this in that file:
/PATH_TO_SHARE -mappall=root:staff(Very liberal permissions here) IPADDRESS_OF_CLIENT
Exit the file and update nfsd with the following command:
sudo nfsd update
Start NFS with the following command (it may be running already)
sudo nfsd start
Verify the shore is being exported
showmount -e
It should return something like
/SHARE                         IPADDRESS_OF_CLIENT
On the client machine you should be able to follow this tutorial to get the share mounted:

  • Interesting problem with RAID, Windows 2008 server, and Ubuntu

    sooooo, i got the system working and linux loved it.  just adored it.
    however, Windows did not.  Windwos 2008 server hard locks from time to time.  i fianlly figured out that it had to do with the RAID 0 i was running, that didn't really succeed.
    However, when i rebuilt the RAID and everything on it, it refuses to recognize the disk, sayign that windwos cannot determine if this drive has a valid system volume on it.
    Ubuntu 9.04 server, however, just took it and made it work great.
    I enabled the PCI Bus SATA to be Master in the BIOS, and then Windows Server 2008 said that it could not determine if the drive was bootable.  Then i went back and redid the raid, and it did the original error.
    I inserted a windows xp disk, destroyed the RAID, and then installed the software on a NEW disk.   While it installed fine, it gave me an IRQL_not_less_than_or_equal error.  It boots in safe mode, but no where else.  I tried installing the NVRAID and MCP55 drivers in safemode and what not, but still, it refused to cooperate.  I went back to ubuntu, this time the desktop/workstation versions, and i am doing an alternate install with RAID...much to my disappointment becuase now i will have to use VirtualBox to isntall windows...and if that fails, i'll be really pissed.
    My settings are as follows:
    SATA Controller 0-5 enabled
    NVRAID- enabled
    PCI BUS SATA- Option ROM Enabled, Master Enabled, and 0040h latency
    MAC LAN- same as above
    MAC LAN1- has master disabled, but the other stuff is the same
    Serial port A is on AUTO, B is disabled, and floppy is disabled.
    Option Rom is PFA relocation.
    Also, my AEC A6880 is giving me a ROM expansion error, even though, in both OSes it can be seen....usualy.  I just want to fix it
    lastly, my LSI PCI-E scsi adapter is not being seen at ALL. 
    thanks guys.

    What's the BSOD error? Are you using XP installation disk with included SP3?

  • How to setup iCal on a Lion server and its client machines?

    I recently bought a new mini server (running Lion) in order to share our iCal calenders (like in the Apple presentations). I thought this would be an easy process but apparently it isn't. So what was I already able to achieve:
    1) Set up 5 different clients (on the Lion server), with corresponding e-mailadresses and passwords.
    2) Activated iCal on the server preference window (ical: on)
    3) Tried to add the user a account on one of the five client machines => HERE it goes wrong.
    My main issue is that I'm not able to add a user account on a client machine and have it connected to the server.
    It would be really nice if someone could assist me with it.
    Warm Regards

    There is no problem, when ither of the two OS are used to enable printing with the HP Deskjet 2050 J510 series printer.
    The problem begins when I try to print from the other OS , when connected to one of the Operating System.
    I have tried without success to print from Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit OS from an HP Deskjet 2050 J510 series connected to a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server with Amahi (HDA), installed.
    The same thing occurred when I tried to print from the Ubuntu server and the printer was connected to the Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit running P.C.

  • Can't connect Lion Server to Ubuntu

    I have a box running Ubuntu 12.04. I want to use a printer that is hooked up to this machine and also the DVD drive
    I am using a Mac Mini with Lion Server (this is a Mac Mini with no DVD drive).
    The Ubuntu machine sees the Lion Server and accesses files from it.
    The Lion Server sees the Windows based machines on my network and accesses them fine
    The Lion Server does not see the Ubuntu machine.

    I solved the printer problem so I will detail the steps for other users.
    1. Installed Ubuntu 12.04 there was no network connection
    2. Updated Ubuntu "sudo apt-get update" in terminal.
    3. Ubuntu box was able to see Lion Server and access files. Lion Server could not see Ubuntu.
    4. Installed printer on parallel port of Ubuntu box.
    5. Right click on printer. Check the following boxes; "Enabled" "Accepting jobs" "Shared"
    6. Leave "Printer Properties" box open.
    7.Put the mouse cursor on the top bar next to "Printing"
    8. "Server" appears. Click on it.
    9. Click on "Settings"
    10. Click the box for "Publish shared printers connected to this system"
    11. I still need to access the DVD drive on the Ubuntu box from the Lion server since this mini Mac has no DVD drive. I will work on that soon and detail the steps when I get it done, or perhaps someone else will post a solution to that part.

  • Windows 2008 Server and Windows 8 clients

    Hey Guys,
    I have had this problem for sometime now and really need a solution. I have Windows 2008 Enterprise Server running about 200+ terminal services clients. All Windows XP clients are fine, Windows 7 clients have issues when they get an updated version of
    remote desktop client(to solve the issue we simply rollback the update), Windows 8 clients cannot connect and use out remote app. The issue stems from the newer version of remote desktop client (on windows 7 and embedded in windows 8) cannot connect to our
    terminal server and generates an error and immediately disconnects. The error says "
    Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because an error occurred on the remote computer that you want
    to connect to
    So my questions are, how can i update my Windows 2008 Terminal server version to support these clients, or do u have migrate to Windows 2012? Or is there a solution to my current problem which will allow my client to connect and use the remoteapps?

  • Newie Mail server and running other services

    We have a small office network of 6 macs that connect to a Panther server, this server provides DNS and file sharing and thats about it a Filemaker Sever and Retrospect Server. I doesn't suffer from heavy use
    I have been using a a separate mac to run Quickmail server 1 (os9) and I need to upgrade it as some of the mail protocols are out of date.
    We have a static IP address assigned to our mail gateway by our service provider.
    My question or advice
    Should I just start using OS X server to run mail services
    or
    Upgrade Quickmail and continue running it separately on a new mac mini (or similar)
    My concerns are at the moment any problem with email locally can be solved pretty much without effecting the other server or the network.
    Thanks

    The basic setup is prety simple...
    Replace following with your own equivalents...
    Domain name: woopee.com (the domain name after the "@" in your emails)
    Host name: mail.woopee.com (the hostname your MX record points to. Does not need to match server hostname. This will be the hostname mail server uses when communicating with other servers)
    Local Host Aliases: woopee.com (a list of the domains you want to accept mail for. Probably just same as Domain name?)
    Local network: 192.168.10.0/24 (LAN IP range for local users. Used to bypass authentication when they send mail out)
    Server Admin-> Mail-> General...
    Tick:Enable POP
    Tick:Enable IMAP
    Tick:Enable SMTP, Allow incoming mail, Enter Domain name & Host name (from above).
    Mail-> Relay
    Tick: Accept SMTP relays... Enter localhost IP: 127.0.0.1/32 and Local network (from above).
    Tick: Use these junk mail rejection servers. Add: zen.spamhaus.org
    Mail->Filters
    Tick: scan for junk mail. Minimum score: 5 (can be reduced later)
    Junk mail should be: Delivered (will just tag and forward to recipient)
    Tick: Attach subject tag: * Junkmail *
    Tick: Scan email for viruses
    Infected messages should be: Deleted
    Tick: update junk mail & virus database: 1 time per day
    Mail->Advanced->Security
    SMTP: none (this prevents smtp authentication from anyone outside your Local network)
    IMAP: Tick: Clear, Plain, Cram-md5 (or leave all unticked if only using pop accounts)
    POP: Tick: APOP
    Mail->Advanced->Hosting
    Local Host Aliases: Add: localhost & woopee.com (separate entries, see Local host aliases, above)
    That's it (I think ...although I cannot guarantee I have not missed something). There will be no problem setting this up and seeing it going whilst still using the existing mail server. Set up client accounts to send and receive from new server and you can send mail around internally to test. Last thing would be to change your firewall port-forwarding for SMTP from existing server to new one.
    Watch the mail.log in Console for any errors & do plenty tests.
    Ensure users have mail enabled in Workgroup Manager.
    There are plenty mods available beyond this. Have a good read through the mail services manual (I know its a bit confusing at times) and you should see where the above settings fit in.
    Lots of stuff on the forum here which you can search for. Spam filtering in particular can be made far more effective but requires editing of the underlying unix configuration files - again, plenty of previous discussions about that on forum. Meantime, the zen.spamhaus.org RBL will filter out a great many spammers.

  • I am unable to send mail on my IPad because the iPad ignores the single correctly configures outgoing server and instead looks for long since deleted outgoing server which is not listed in my settings at all.

    Some time ago I used to use an outgoing mail server, which I will call 'XYZ'.  However I changed email providers and now have a new outgoing server which I will call 'ABC'. I tried deleting that old outgoing server when I changed email providers but had problems doing so.  So what I did was completely delete all email accounts from my iPad and then reinstalled the two new email accounts from scratch, complete with the new outgoing server 'ABC'.  That appeared to be successful, and I can receive email OK.  Also the new server 'ABC' is the ONLY outgoing server listed in my settings on either account
    However despite the new server being the only one in my settings the iPad will not send mail and shows an error message saying that the settings for the OLD server 'XYZ' are incorrect.  I cannot amend or delete that server as it has already been deleted and is not listed in my settings.
    It is like the iPad is somehow still remembering that old server and thinks it's the primary one.  Or it's getting old server info fron iCloud or something.
    My iPhone has the same two email accounts and identical settings and does not have this issue.
    Any ideas, other than a complete factory reset?
    Many thanks

  • Accessing time capsule with osx server and vpn

    i have apple server and a time capsule that i use as harddisk. Now I want to access the time capsule by VPN. I cannot make an accesspoint of my time capsule.
    When I turn off file sharing on the time capsule and turn it on on the server then i cannot access my files locally.

    Sorry, have to disagree.
    I have a time capusle and its in the hfs+ and my vista pc reads it fine.
    You do need to download the airport software for windows from apple downloads. Install that and then, windows can see it fine under networking. Then to map a drive letter, just navigate to your time capsule in windows then right click on the share and give it a drive letter.
    Or you can use the cd that came with your time capsule in your windows pc and it will install the client from there.

  • Website issue with osx server and hosting

    so i had a website hosted from my osx server and i had bought the domain name from godaddy it worked great but i desided to instead of hosting it on my osx server to just host it on  godaddy so i turned to server off and added the domain to my godaddy account hosting and now it works but one problem all computers can veiw the website but mine. i think it has somthing to do with the fact that my mac was the one hosting it. but if i go to my browser and go to my wesite i get a error but than i go to any other computer and it works great help please

    A couple ideas
    check our /etc/hosts file, you might have an entry for your domain.
    sudo pico /etc/hosts
         do you see any entries for your domain? If so:
         edit the file by navigating with the arrow keys, delete the line
         with your domain. Hit ctrl-x when done (enter 'y' to save the change)
    Clear your DNS cache
         dscacheutil -flushcache
    Try a different DNS server, go into your network settings (In System Preferences)
    Go to Ethernet or Wifi (whichever you are using), click Advanced and under the DNS tab enter:
         8.8.8.8
    Make sure no entries are ABOVE it.
    If none of this works, send the results of these commands:
         cat /etc/hosts
         cat /etc/resolv.conf
         dig +short mydomain.com   (replace with your domain)
    The results of these should point us in the right direction.

  • The difference between Telepresence Content Server and MSE 3500

    Good day! Could someone explain me what's the difference between Telepresence Content Server and MSE 3500? Why do I need to obtain two these devices for sorting out my tasks? I want to understand gist of the first and the second devices.

    In addition to what Jonathan posted above, here is a Capture Transform Share Solution Guide that goes over a little bit of what the TCS and MXE are and some possible deployment scenarios.
    In short, TCS is used to record video conferences or lectures that can be streamed on demand or live using various streaming or distribution methods.  One such distribution method is using the MXE 3500 to ingest the recordings from TCS and convert them to different media types and add in-video content such as logos etc.  However, from the MXE, you can't send the video back to the TCS for viewing, you'd need to send that off to another viewing portal such as Show and Share.

Maybe you are looking for
