Postgres removal Mavericks Server

Hello,
I've found many posts about seemingly odd / off postgres processes that look to be unnecessary however the posts are old (Lion).
I would like to know if there is a known method for removing these processes in Mavericks OSX Server and or if these processes are somehow instrumental to the server app. Can these processes, or postgre safely be removed and if so how.
Sincere thanks for your help.

You might consider migrating your computing environment over to Linux or one of the BSDs here, as these fine operating systems are very specifically intended to be tailored and tweaked and updated by the end-user, and you seem to like to dig around and modify stuff and to experiment. This experimentation is certainly a great way to learn about operating systems and their internal operations and interconnections, too. It's also a good way to get exactly the operating system package you need — these choices are extremely flexible.
With OS X and OS X Server, removing pieces of what Apple provides — such as PostgreSQL — is generally a Bad Idea. Such modifications with tend to derail updates, and tip over various components that are dependent on what's been removed.
The same caveat applies for deleting hidden users or files, and other such.
Adding components such as your addition of php is generally safer, so long as the components are added into the /local directories, and aren't included into the PATH of various system pieces. Those other system components should be left using the default, installed version of php.
As Basilmir mentions, PostgreSQL is one of two databases used on OS X Server, and it's instrumental to a number of the provided services.

Smooth transition from Mountain Lion Server to Mavericks Server 3.0!!

After an new OS release that are always complaints about installation and configuration problems. First comers to using any new software tool provide valuable feedback we generally hope will help improve the new product. It's how things have worked since the first 6503 Apple II's and 8086 IBM PC's.
I've been using and upgrading PC's since THOSE DINOSAURS! And I can't remember EVER having an OS upgrade go as smoothly as my recent upgrade from Mountain Lion Server (OS X 10.8.5 w. Server 2.2.2) to Mavericks Server 3.0.
I chose to do a clean Mavericks install on a clean partition created on a 1 TB disk that was upgraded into my trusty MacBook. I used the DiskmakerX app to create a Mavericks installation USB drive. When the screen came up with the option to import users, programs & files (took a pass on email) from the Mountain Lion Server partition, I let it run overnight to transpose everything of value into the clean Mavericks installation.
The next morning the only program that wasn't PERFECTLY installed and configured on Mavericks was Server 2.2.2. I deleted it and bought/installed Server 3.0. After Server 3.0's setup ran that only thing I had to do manually was start Postgres! My domain setting, DNS, all my web applications that were set up on Mountain Lion Server were all GOOD TO GO again on Mavericks Server!
I'm disclosing this here, publicly because it was a BIG PAIN to install and deploy all my websites using Mountain Lion's server app. To say the easy transposition into Server 3.0 was an unexpected and pleasant surprise amounts to massive understatement.
Now I'm going to describe two small anomolies I've noticed in either Mavericks or Server 3.0 that other users might want to be on the lookout for. They're not fatal. But they might be "habringers" suggesting underlying problems in either the new OS or the new Server's internals.
The toolbar icon for TimeMachine doesn't "spin" when it backs up. It's not a big deal. But it's convenient to see the circle around the clock whirling so we know when TIme Machine is backing up.
Mavericks Server isn't reporting newly upgraded apps as available under the Updates Tab of the Server's Software Updates subsystem. It might be inconsequential. But with a new OS version it never hurts to let the developers know about the "little things" that don't apparently work.
Kudos to the Maverick's developers for releasing an OS X version that's THIS CLEAN. And hugs to Apple's management for making it a free download upgrade for developers!!!
Full disclosue: I don't now and never have worked for Apple. but I do own a few shares of Apple stock that we purchased many years ago at $14.00 / share. I'm not a big shareholder. But based on my recent seamless upgrades to Mavericks and iIOS 7, I'm a happy one who's not likely to sell any time soon.
If Apple can do for ALL THEIR HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE PRODUCTS what they seem to have done for OS X and iOS, they've got at least a fighting chance to recover from their losses after their stock peaked at about $700.00 /share.
Keep up the good work!

Mavericks Server-Need to get PHP and website working.

Folks, I am not sure what to do here. I am trying to get a website (jetphoto aka jpserver) working on our Mavericks server and I just don't know what I am missing. I am trying to get it working on our local network before over the internet.
I placed the downloaded web folder (jpserver) in Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/
I also placed the same folder in Library/Webserver/Documents because I wasn't sure if this is where it's supposed to be instead.
Web service is turned on in Server.app 3.12
I added a web site in the Websites service of Server.app but it's unclear how to get that working and how it relates to the site I want to use. I get a red light.
PHP web applications is enabled in Server.app
I went to the httpd.conf file in private/etc/apache2 and enabled the php5_module by removing the "#" before "LoadModule"
When I go to safari and type 127.0.0.1/jpserver I getNot Found
The requested URL /jpserver was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.26 (Unix) PHP/5.4.24 mod_wsgi/3.3 Python/2.7.5 mod_ssl/2.2.26 OpenSSL/0.9.8y DAV/2 Server at lpiserver.local Port 80
If I manually invoke the index.php file in the jpserver folder I get:
<?php
* JetPhoto Server
* Copyright (c) 2004 - 2010 Atomix Technologies Limited, All Rights Reserved.
if (phpversion() < 4.2 ||
!in_array("xml", get_loaded_extensions()) ||
!ini_get("short_open_tag")) {
header("location:test.php");
} else {
header("location:../default/index.php");
?>
I am thoroughly perplexed at this point
Where I should put the jpserver web folder so that it'll run
How to get php working; at least the one bundled with Mavericks
How (if at all) the web service relates to getting the site working
How to properly configure the web service.
Here's (http://www.jetphotosoft.com/web/manual_jpserver/) essentially what I am trying to do for reference. I thought it'd be this simple, but this much simpler it seems os OS X client with the old web sharing system preference turned on.

It needs MySQL, which is not part of Mavericks server, so you would have to find that and install it yourself. Your chances of getting this working without prior experience are not good.

Mavericks Server Open Directory Configure Network Wizard not displaying

when setting up the open directory master in mavericks server i get a empty servers list and no drop down to create a new one. Any ideas on how to force it to display the wizard?

You might want to try and flush the configuration, reboot, and try again. Try this command to remove all remnants of an OD master. All data will be deleted.
slapconfig -destroyldapserver
If the wizard still does not display, make sure you DNS is working properly. And as a final attempt, use slapconfig to create an OD Master.

Setting up Maverick Server: hiccoughs along the way

Hi I'm trying to set up Mavericks Home Server. I'm a server novice. It is a rather time consuming and frustrating process. It is by no means something an average domestic computer user should consider, despite the apple blurb that makes it sound easy. OK enough rant (I'm clearly frustrated and have put in many unproductive hours with this)
I have bought a new mac mini, and followed Terry Walsh's guide (it was partly its availablitly that convinced me to take the plunge). I have set up a domain name, SSL certificate, and 6 network users. I have two problems. I don't know if they are related.
On a client I can log into one of the network user accounts, but then when i log out and try to log into another user, I get an error message saying the user account home folder "isn't in the usual place' - it lets me log into the account but with lots of ?? down in the dock.
I also noticed in the alerts section on the server that there was a reverse DNS problem (host name doesn't match computer name or something..? this might affect users ...). I have a dynamic IP address and an update client from dyndns which seems to work.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks so much

Then you've misunderstood me and extended the point about using DynDNS as a service to resolve a registered DNS name to a dynamic IP and confused it with the discussion about setting up properly an internal DNS server and DNS namespace.
"with the use of dynamic DNS as the server's own DNS and the lack of proper local reverse translations" - excuse me but where did I make such a statement? Sorry, but it seems to me you have a bit of a fixation on 'dynamic DNS'. Did you read the multiple posts where I was getting to check that his forward and reverse lookups on his local DNS were working? Where was I talking about using "dynamic DNS" for reverse lookups??
I'm going to have to disagree with your statement "but this dynamic DNS configuration does not work properly for OS X Server local DNS services." because you are being misleading and again making the assumption of mixing external with internal DNS. And again I did not make such a statement - you interpreted it as such because again, it seems to me, you have a thing about DynDNS (from your website).
You and I both know about the need for the OS X DNS server to be correct & authoritative for the domain in the network space it's sitting in - which is usually private. That domain could either be something bogus like - "mydomain.some_tld_we_hope_is_never_taken_for_the_internet" or an Internet legal domain like "example.org". If one uses an Internet legal domain like 'example.org' then as long as the OS X DNS server stays authoritative for DNS for that only inside the LAN (which it has to) there is no issue. There is no issue using the OS X DNS server in a split-horizon setup.
In the situation where one has a registered domain name (me) I use DynDNS to provide public Internet name resolution for that registered domain name. Perfectly OK and functional way to work. You need to be more clear about the distinction between public, Internet, name resolution and internal (LAN) name resolution.
"You don't have a registered domain name. You've (technically) acquired permission to use a subdomain (usually as a host name) from the organization that registered whichever dyndns domain you're using." What do you base that on? The OP has never shared his domain name so how do you know what he's got??
"If you're using dynamic DNS, you're probably also on a dynamic IP address". Sorry but I'm going to have to say that you are confusing things even further. You jump from 'dynamic DNS' (which really you need to clarify what you mean by that phrase) to dynamic IP when we are talking about DNS inside his - static - LAN address range. If you are meaning "if you're using the DynDNS service to dynamically update DNS records for your Internet domain when your site's dynamic IP address changes" well obviously that is self-evident. However in the previous paragraph you stated the OP "don't have a registered domain name". You can't have it both ways.
The OP - for his home network - is not trying to have a "dynamic DNS" for his internal network but a 'static' authoritative DNS.
Also you seem (??) to be making the assumption that the OP is going to go out and buy a fixed IP from his ISP - I doubt it.
"I'm also going to disagree with FromOZ on the use of forwarders — those add an extra hop, and — unless you're using DNS-level logging or a DNS-based network nanny filter — don't really contribute much to the whole configuration when you're running a real DNS server. With OS X Server, you really want to run DNS on your local network, too." Again you mix two concepts and confuse things.
No forwarders - well then you better tell Apple to remove the option for Forwarders from DNS settings in OS X server. They mustn't know what they are talking about.
"those add an extra hop" - please... as if the OP is going to going to notice that. Anyway the ISP is likely going to have 99.99% of the queries the OP's network wants cached on their DNS servers already, so actually it will be less hops because the OP's DNS server is not going to have to do recursion queries of the whole DNS chain to resolve addresses.
"With OS X Server, you really want to run DNS on your local network, too" ?? nowhere in the whole discussion thread have I made the statement "you must not run an (authoritative) DNS server on your local network" in fact the opposite was the case, I was helping the guy to make sure his local DNS was properly setup to serve local (authoritative).
Sorry, but I really have to say that you really added confusion to the discussion in your last post.
I think the OP is best served by purchasing a solid reference book - which is why I have been regularly pointing him to the volume which is specifically about OS X Mavericks Server.

Can I distribute s/mime certificates to MDM managed users via Mavericks Server?

We have a private CA and right now users have to share S/MIME certificates with others manually. Is is possible to embed these certs into each user in Address Book, or distribute them some other way using Mavericks Server?

Couldn't fix the problem. Had to attach another external storage drive to each computer to use for backup, then erase and rename the TimeCapsule hard drive via Airport utility as well as the second hard drive in the MacMini Server via Disk Utility. I removed both the Time Capsule drive and the second internal hard drive from the "Settings" pane in the "Time Machine" section of Server.
I still have no idea of what went wrong or if the problem will happen again. It may have been a corrupted file on the backup drives. It may have been Tech Tool Pro or Adode Creative Cloud updater, who knows. But for now, it is working as anticipated. The iMac clients and the MacMini Server are all backed up to the Time Capsule as well as the Mac Mini Server's second internal drive.
I sure wish there were better documentation available for using Server to manage Time Machine backups!

I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through internet connection. When I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear. Setting are for remove from server when moved from Inbox. Any idea what I can do to actually delete them?

I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through regular internet connection. Lately, when I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear, downloaded anew from the server and marked as unread. My e-mail Advanced Settings are selected for "Remove from server when moved from Inbox." Even when I access the e-mail accountfrom my desktop and delete the e-mails, the re-appear on my iPad. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and what I can do to actually delete them?

Sounds like you are looking in the wrong Administrative Group container which is why you are seeing your Exchange 2010 servers in there.
When you install Exchange 2003 only you will see a container named by default as "CN=First Administrative Group" container. But this could be named anything if you changed the Organization Name on the installation when you installed the first
Exchange 2003 server into the domain/forest.
You will notice that when you install Exchange 2010 part of the AD setup is to create a new configuration container and is named by default "CN=First Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)".
So it sounds like you are not looking in the right location within ADSIEdit.
You may find the following article also helpful for this issue which is the same resolution:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2012/05/17/empty-cn-servers-container-causing-issues-with-public-folders-on-small-business-server-2011.aspx
I recommend though that you ensure your Exchange 2003 servers are fully uninstalled or no longer present in your environment before you go deleting the Servers container though.. The following Microsoft article will help with this:

How can I set up Mavericks Server on a Test Mac without affecting the production server

I have Mountain Lion server running as on an xserve as our main server, it has developed a few issues particularly related to Profile Manager and Certificates.
So I was going to use the move to Mavericks as an opportunity to have a fresh start.
So I want to set up Mavericks Server on a mac mini temporarily to test it and configure all the services before moving it to the Xserve as the main server.
My question is what is the best way to do this, obviously I can't use the same IP or hostname as the main server if it is connected to the network, and some services can't be set up without a network connection.
So do I give it a new IP and hostnmame for now and then change it later on, my concern is that changing the hostname might cause issues down the line.
So what is the best way to set up a fresh server in preperation as a drop in replacement of the current server?

Ok I got the test server set up fine and cloned it over to a spare partition on the Xserve.
But when I booted into the new partition several things broke.
1st the IP address changed itself despite the fact it is set to Manual, The Alert section of Server.app let me repair this.
Profile Manager no longer worked, the web page just said Profile manager could not be found, was working fine on the test mac
Tried deleting the OD master and resetting Profile Manager but it still didn't work.
DNS needed repairing and restarting
I decided at that point to abandon it and go back to the test mac where everything is still working.
Any tips for overcoming these issues.
I have thought maybe it would be best to turn off all server services before making the clone and then turn them on one at a time once it has been restored to the new partition on the xserve
Also if the certificates that are created when making an OD master were made on the mac mini does that cause a problem when it has been restored to a different machine, should I leave OD off and just set it up when it is in its final place?

How to remove DSFW Server ?

HI
I had build a DSFW Lab and I want to try to write a procedure about how to remove DSFW Server that like server need hardware or crash...But I check the oficial document that seem not provide about how to remove....
Who could teah me or provide which document provide how to clean DSFW Server ?
thanks!!

DSfW server can be removed using the ndsdcrm tool, which is a perl script. However, this tool is not available as part of xad-framework rpm to avoid accidental corruption of the domain or tree. To use the tool please get in touch with NTS.

How to Reset Mavericks Server

Just curious as to how to Reset Mavericks Server like it is being launched for the first time.

Move the Server application to the Trash. Delete the following items (some may not exist), reboot, then put back Server and launch it:

10.6.8 to Mavericks Server Upgrade loses Open Directory Users

Hi,
I have an OpenDirectory Master running OSX Server 10.6.8. An upgrade to Mavericks 10.9 has just failed.
The server has about 50 OD users and passwords need to be retained across the upgrade. Apart from OD, the only other active service is AFP file sharing.
DNS is good forward and back as per this article: OS X Server: Steps to take before upgrading or migrating the Open Directory database
I followed these Apple guidelines for server migration: OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Lion Server or Snow Leopard Server.
I cloned the boot drive, booted from the clone, upgraded to Mavericks, then installed the Mavericks Server app.
On opening the Mavericks Server app "Configuring services' showed for 5 minutes, but then an error message appeared. I did not record it exactly, but it was something like, "There was an error configuring the server. Certificate not valid!".
I was able to continue through the error but on opening Server app there were no OD (local/network) users showing. Authentication was not happening.
I had underestimated the time to get the installation done and I had used up the window of downtime I had booked - I did not have much time to troubleshoot. So, I cut back to the original hard drive and the server is back to 10.6.8 again.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to find out what may have gone wrong? How can I get my users into 10.9 Server?
Many thanks,
b.

Linc Davis advice is spot-on, as usual.
There seem to be dozens of sub-databases in the LDAP database. A problem in any of them seems to derail the entire conversion process. I tried a straight conversion and was also disappointed that there were unresolved issues, and it meant that the conversion failed.
So I did the export route using WorkGroup Manager, and exported four sets:
Users
Groups
Computers
Computer groups
go to the appropriate pane (e.g., Users) and Select All, then choose Export, and give it a name (probably with an embedded date in case you need to do it again later)
Then use 10.9 WorkGroup Manager (available as a separate download) to Import.
When re-imported, everything worked just fine (except the passwords, which cannot be carried forward using this method). I did have to manually enable at least one service, such as File Sharing service in Server [admin], or users showed up as "not allowed" [to log in].
This entire process of getting Server 3 to work is fraught with peril, and everything converges on ONE diagnostic, "Network users can't log in". Which means you blew it, but provides no additional information about WHERE you blew it.
There do not appear to be any magic bullets. It is just a tough slog. Users who reported success after failing the first time reported they returned to fundamental principles and did all the steps over, in order, to attain success.

Removing mailbox server exchange 2010

Dear all,
I have two mailbox servers, when I try to uninstall mailbox server roll on the exchange 2010 Mailbox server1 I get below error msg.
Failed
Error:
This Mailbox server is responsible for generating an Offline Address Book. Removal of the Mailbox role is not permitted
If I move an offline Address book from Mailbox server1 to Mailbox server2 then I guess it should be okay?
Also get below error msg as well, do I need to take care of anything else before I remove the mailbox server role ?
Error:
Setup cannot continue with the uninstall because the 'beremote' () process (ID: 2076) has open files. Close the process and restart Setup.
Thanks !!!

Hi Ms-2010,
Before you uninstall the first Exchange 2010 Server, you need to fix few prerequisites warning/errors for a clean uninstallation.
Four points should be considered:
1. Change the OAB (Offline Address Book) generation role to other available server.
2. Remove the server from DAG membership.
3. Move the Arbitration mailboxes to another available Mailbox Server.
4. Ensure that none of the databases are using public folder of this server as default and Move Public folder replica to other available mailbox server.
Hope it is helpful.
Best regards,
Eric

Messages in Mavericks Server 3.0.1 Not Working

I have set up Mavericks Server. Most things are working fine but messages, won't. When I sign into the server via the Messages app, it just says that the login is incorrect. I added the server account via System Preferences. I'm not sure what is wrong but a look in the logs shows me this:
connection to router closed Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
I'm not sure what this means or if there is any way to fix this. I have port forwarded the ports for Jabber/XMPP that are on this site.

DNS/Fowarding Servers for OS X Mavericks Server

Is it okay that my AirPort Extreme AC router takes care of the DNS for OS X Mavericks Server and have the fowarding servers set to the default which is my routers IP?

That won't work. There is no DNS server in an AirPort Extreme, nor in a Time Capsule. The Apple WiFi boxes and most other low-end gateway boxes will only contain a DNS resolver. When in a NAT'd network, the DNS resolver will simply forward the DNS queries to off-LAN DNS servers. The resolver has no concept of LAN-local host names or IP addresses; of what's happening in the NAT'd address space that's in use. (Various mid-grade gateway boxes do have DNS capabilities, and open source options such as DD-WRT do have a DNSmasq-based server, and these boxes can suffice for the needs of OS X Server. If there's a way to configure host names and host IP addresses for random boxes on your LAN, then the box you're using should work. If not, it's a resolver, and won't work for a NAT'd network.) Off-LAN DNS servers will almost certainly not provide correct translations for hosts with private-block addresses. OS X Server requires proper forward and reverse DNS translations, or things get weird. Here's how to set up local DNS on OS X Server.
