OSX server 10.4 and print logs

When I ran OSX server 10.3, I had nice neat print logs by printer. I could easily tell who printed something if I needed to know. When I went to 10.4 server I lost this ability. The logs are still there but they are listed as "Appletalk: (printer name)" and they are empty. I do not use AppleTalk. The service is not even on in Network preferences, and I do not set my printers up using AppleTalk. I have lost an important feature of the print server with this and don't know what I did incorrectly.
Thanks.

Safari can't connect to local server for AirPlay and printer

I have several Airplay devices and one printer set up using Bonjour or AirPlay. This is all on most up to date Mavericks, iOS 7, and 2009 iMac.
In the past, I used to be able to enter an IP address (like for the printer or a powered speaker) and log in to check for firmware updates, etc. But now, while the speakers and printer ALL connect and play/print fine from my Mac and iOS and are clearly on my local network — when I try to access the sites for each — Safari says it "can’t connect to the local server because, it can’t connect to the local server"!
What is happening and, how can I regain web access to these devices?
It does not seem to be the printer, two powered speakers, or a small Wi-Fi device used with an AV stereo. They are all made by different companies and all can’t be broken. Especially, since they all work fine except for access to their internal web sites.
What do I have set, somewhere, that would block out web page access in the local network?

Well, I never could get the Bonjour menu to access device settings in Safari.
So I looked to see if Bonjour could work in Chrome or Firefox. It can!
But you need a plugin. I used Ciaociao in Firefox (I think also for Chrome). It places a small globe icon with other things you added like Pinterest, etc. in the tab bar.
It worked like a charm. I selected the devices from a Bonjour menu Ciaociao presents, accessed the settings, downloaded firmware updates, changed names, etc.
Clearly, there seems to be a Bonjour Safari issue. At least with Mavericks.
It was disappointing that hours with multiple Apple techs did not solve this. A lot of time on hold too. Nobody really knew about Bonjour or Airplay at all. Everyone wanted to pass me off to some other “device” when, it was not a device issue but the broader “internet of things” issue.
Apple is clearly unprepared for customer service in this high growth area.

Help with Presence Server 9.0 and Compliance Logging to Postgres

I recently got Presence IM up and running, version, 9.0.1, using Jabber for Windows 9.1.1. I am required to log all conversations so I stood up a postgres server, version 9.1. I am not having any success with getting messages to log however.
I have gone through the database deployment guide, along with the IM guide and the regular deployment guide that has some of the persistent chat stuff in it.
Presence has created tables and did log some of the persistent chat stuff I did using CUPC 8.6 so I know the connection is working. The 'jm' table was created so I know the connection for compliance is good as well. I am just not sure what I am missing as to why it wont log conversations.
I have gone through the guides a couple times each and verified everything was done. I am not seeing any errors in the postgres log files. I see Presence connect and then disconnect right away.
Any help or advice with log files or where to look next would be greatly appreciated.

I checked the conf file and it matches what you recommended.
I then turned on trace logging, restarted the message archiver, ensured the external database screen show it could connect and tried sending some IM's. The logs are below.
Still, no tables have any entries.

Export and print logging

Hi experts:
If we need to track records in regard to the exporting and printing behavior of users, that is, the usage of "export answer" or "print answer" functionalities on dashboard, is there any log files saved during the process? If yes, what's the files name?

hi 12261114,
A) cheat. create a single report using UNION ALL, you might add a different "TYPE" column, and setting a column break with that column (move it to the front, break column 1). probably reports have different number of columns, add NULL columns in a query when using UNION
display this/hide other reports when page in print mode, or some other state. you can have a dropdown or a checkbox for that.
create page item if needed for switching page to print or other mode
B) show all lines on all reports. use PDF printer on client site.. ..no CSV though

OSX server + Private Network (and NAT) + Airport Extreme: Incompatibility ?

DHCP on Airport Extreme (AE) prevents some private network configuration.
*Imagine the following:*
- An AE that shares a public IP for your private network (NAT) => DHCPd is on (not an option)
- A Mac Mini with snow leopard and some services activated (Calendars, Wiki, Open Directory, ...) and a DNS with a private domain (e.g. you server is called: minisrv1.private)
- Client with account linked to an account on the OSX server
*Your problem:*
You can't activate a DHCP server on your OSX server: it will conflict with the one in your AE.
All your DHCP clients will get your AE address as DNS server and consequently wont be able to resolve any of your private addresses in your private domain
Your server will advertise all it's services with private domain's addresses
*==> All your client machines will get un-reachable services information (like iCal cannot connect to iCal server minisrv1.private)*
A solution might be to "trick" down the DHCP on the AE:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121990
Message was edited by: Philippe Rochat

I don't believe your analysis is correct.
You're right that when using the AirPort Extreme as an edge router connected to your ISP, and using NAT/DHCP to share its connect, the AE will configure all clients to use the AE as the DNS server (it actually acts as a DNS proxy).
However, it is still entirely possible to use your own, internal, private DNS server for those clients.
You see, the AE has its DNS server configuration in the Internet tab - this is where the AE will direct all DNS lookups, including those from DHCP clients.
Your solution is to just tell the AE to use your internal server for its DNS. That way it will be able to resolve your .private domain, and will enable all DHCP clients to do the same.

OSX Server w/ Parallels and Windows 7

I want to run a specific remote access Windows software on my iMac running OSX Server and Parallels. If the software is installed in Windows, will the OSX Server allow remote access to it?
Altenately, can I install a Windows server (w/ IIS) on the Windows virtual machine?
TIA

Yes to both. Just make sure you are not bridging the address from the Mac. Allow the VM instance to have its own IP address. And the remote access software (like RDC) will give you access to the Windows OS but not the Mac. You can use ARD to control the Mac and thus see the Window instance also.

OSX server : quicktime streaming and video format

I have installed OSX server and must set up a streaming video server. The set up went well but I can't stream any other videos than those offered by the system (aka test.mov). How do I import videos into my Quicktime streaming OSX server ?

Woops, just missed this post from a couple of years ago.. all fixed now!

OSX, Acrobat Reader 5 and printing problems

Not sure this is in the right place (possibly should go to the Adobe Reader section) but help needed.
I have PDFs that look just fine on screen, but when they are printed out, the image is being reduced in size. It is as if there are some margins set someplace (although where, I have no idea) that are over-riding the PDF as it appears on screen. Is this behaviour typical with reader 5? Is there a setting somewhere that will cause the image to be reduced in size? If this is a bug, does anyone know if it is fixed in the Adobe reader range? Is anyone else experiencing this?
My set up is a Mac G4 sawtooth, with upgraded processor (1.5GHz) and new hard drive running 'out of the box' OSX 10.4.6 (Tiger) with Classic accessing the original OS9 installation on the original hard drive.
Range of Adobe products running in Classic (PS 5.5, AI 9.2, ID 1.2) from which some of the PDFs originate.
Old OS9 compatible printer (Epson SP1200) died recently, new printer (Epson SP1400) is only comaptible with OSX, except going via Laserwriter8.
Problem was present with old printer before it died as well, so OS/printer incompatibility is probably the issue.
Upgrading to CS3 is an option, but an expensive one, so wish to explore the Portable Document Format option first!

It cannot be a problem of the installation, because at least Windows 7
was a fresh install with nothing but Reader additionally installed.
By the way, what do you mean by "risky", I followed straight the
documentation from Adobe, where one is allowed to place function calls
requiring a privileged context.
Have you any better idea where to place the call to save? It must be
called automatically, when the User closes the window, no additional
interaction is possible.
One other thing is the call to exportXFAData, have you any idea why
there is a difference in behavior between reader version 7 / 10 and 9?
I wrote that in version 9 the user entered data is missing.
Am Donnerstag, den 21.07.2011, 05:53 -0600 schrieb try67:
No, it doesn't work.
Sorry, I don't have any ideas except for trying to repair the installation
of Reader.
However, placing code in the WillClose event is considered risky and should
be avoided if there are alternatives available.

Weblogic Server not starting and not logging to logfile?

Hi all,
We had a problem on our production systems a few weeks ago whereby weblogic shut itself down overnight (normal operation) but then did not start up again in the early hours as it should.
Basically as the Weblogic was started we found that the weblogic log gave us the following output.
======================================
Debug is not enabled for this domain. This can be enabled by setting the DEBUG_PORT variable in startWebLogic.sh
Logging is enabled for this domain. This can be disabled by un-setting the LOGGING variable in startWebLogic.sh
Logging all system output to /apps/bea81/weblogic81/../user_projects/hdw_live/logs/all.log
==========================================
And the file /apps/bea81/weblogic81/../user_projects/hdw_live/logs/all.log was created but was in fact 0 bytes long.
Looking at another system where weblogic had come up correctly we noted that the next line in the weblogic log should have been :-
===========================================
<Nov 21, 2006 10:46:01 AM GMT> <Info> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000377> <Starting WebLogic Server with Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM Version 1.4.2
_04-b05 from Sun Microsystems Inc.>
===============================================
And also That the first line in a /apps/bea81/weblogic81/../user_projects/hdw_live/logs/all.log should be
============================================
<Nov 21, 2006 10:46:01 AM GMT> <Info> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000377> <Starting WebLogic Server with Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM Version 1.4.2
_04-b05 from Sun Microsystems Inc.>
=============================================
In the end we had to restart the server and then it came up allright. This shounds like some kind of environmental resource issue but we don't know? Has anyone seen this kind of behaviour before? Can you suggest a way we can check if their is sufficient resources available if we end up in this situation again?
Thanks for the benefit of your experience
Cheers
Phill ;-)

How to get the print logs to appear in the application logs folder of windows server 2008 r2

Dear All,
I am a SIEM professional at an IT firm. i am facing a problem. My SIEM solution has an agent for windows. this agent reads only logs from the application, security and system folder of windows event viewer. In server 2008 r2 the printer logs are clustered
in and application and services/microsoft/windows/print services folder. The requirement of my management is that the siem solution should also be able to montior compliance of print policies. that can only be done once the the print logs are viewable in any
of the three event vieweer folders i.e application, system.security. how can i configure windows to make its print logs visible in any of these three folders ?

this may be helpful...

OSX-Server, iCal and Z10

Hello everybody,
i have a problem with syncing my iCal to my Z10 and I hope that there is a solution.
Im hosting my own OSX-Server 10.6 and on it there is the iCal-Servis witch runs perfectly with all Devices exept the Z10.
I inserted the login informations in the calendar setup and checked them multiple times but no succsess. In the Server logs there is only the massage that the login credentials aren´t correct. Is there a problem with the encryption of those?
I look forward to hear from you.
Many Thanks,
Neo7even

It's a known issue that the VPN client will not connect if it has a static address on the local network. You must get an address from DHCP. Maybe "DHCP with manual address" will work, but I don't know for sure.

Mac mini Server (2012) reinstall osx server and garageband

Hello, i buy mac mini md389 with osx server, garageband, imovie and other.
Foolishly deleted OSXServer. I thought reinstall factory settings and osxserver . As a result lost osxserver and garageband. In appstore for me, these applications are paid.
Can I install them again for free?

IIIaass and keg55 thank you very much for your help.
I went to the link (thanks keg55) page appears with a support OS X Server 2.2.5, next page appstore with the price. just in case I removed a business card into the ID. returned to the appstore OS X Server with price and pressed the button to buy. A message stating that the OS X Server already purchased. Went further installation.
As a result, my problem was that I was afraid to press the button with the price.
P.S. I'm sorry I took your time and for bad english
P.S. In the future, try to include the brain instead of panic

Picking a Gateway: Router or Mac OSX Server

I'm planning on implementing Leopard Server at my business in the near term. It will be running on a PowerMac G5, and primarily used for file sharing amongst a team of about 10 employees. I also will use the VPN capabilities to access the network from home, and will take advantage of things like iChat, Wikis, and Print Serving over time.
The documentation describes using the Mac as a gateway through the installation of dual ethernet cards. Alternatively, I could continue to use my linksys router as a gateway. I didn't find much qualitative discussion on how to pick between the options. In general, I'd like some advice on whether to run services such a DCHP, VPN, etc... on the router or the OSX server.
Any suggestions on how to make the decision?
Thanks,

Hi
I echo Leif’s suggestions although you could change your router for a ZyXel one which does offer true NAT/SPI Firewall capabilities and has a wealth of logging features and notification if security is a concern. There are others. I am not affiliated with ZyXel in any way.
Ultimately it would depend on the type of broadband connection you have. I prefer to use OSX Server for routing and NAT if its a cable modem broadband service. You would not need to install a gigabit NIC, a standard 10/100 NIC would do. The RTL8139 chipset is supported by 10.3 or above without the need for a driver to be installed and they are cheap. If you have an oldish PC lying around with a 3rd party PCI NIC installed odds are it will be the RTL8139 chipset, use that. You could use this NIC for the WAN connection and the built-in gigabit NIC for the LAN. If the broadband service is down the phone-line then a ZyXel 662H (or HW) Router would be a better bet in my opinion.
As for qualitative discussion on how to pick between the options? These forums are full of such opinions and advice in response to posts such as yours. Ultimately its up to you.

Transaction log and access log

The transaction log (TransactionLogFilePrefix) and the access log are stored
relative to the directory where the server is started rather than where it
resides as with the rest of the log files. Why is this?
Eg.
I start the server with a batch file contained in
projects\bat
My server is in
projects\server\config\myDomain
When I start the server the access and transaction logs end up in
projects\bat
while all the rest of the log files (such as the domain and server log) end
up in
projects\server
My batch file that starts the server looks like this
"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" -hotspot -ms64m -mx64m -classpath %CLASSPATH%
"-Dbea.home=e:\bea"
"-Djava.security.policy==i:\projects\server\config\myDomain\weblogic.policy"
"-Dweblogic.Domain=myDomain" "-Dweblogic.Name=adminServer"
"-Dweblogic.RootDirectory=i:/projects/server"
"-Dweblogic.management.password=weblogic" weblogic.Server
Thanks for help on this,
Myles

The same case with me, I sent email to apple support, but got not reply.
The apple status page indicated that every thing is fine now, what a joke.
Many devs are in this situation too, I guess we could do nothing but waiting for their system to come up.

Making RAID config of existing installed OSX server

Hi,
the situation for the moment is:
XServe with 1x60Gb disk and OSX Server with communigate, and a data disk 1x120Gb as backup drive.
Can I make a mirror of 2x 120Gb without reinstallation of the server?
eg:
- Make an image of the 60Gb harddisk
- Remove 60Gb disk and insert 2 x 120Gb disks
- make a RAID volume
- XServe in FW mode and put the image back on a 120Gb disk.
Will this work?
Thanks,
Bart

For a start, which version of Mac OS X Server.
If you have two 120GB disks my recommendation would be to set them up as a mirror, then use asr to replicate the OS partition onto the mirror. Then you can simply reboot off the mirror and you're done.
