Problem with set-up of a macmini server with airport

Dear readers
Last week I took the bolt step to buy a macmini with OS 10.6 server to set-up a server at home for al kinds of reasons including the claim that it should be easy. Well I am still struggling but making progress in discovering how things work. To be honest this is part of the fun and one of the other reasons to buy the systems. There is one problem I hope somebody can help me with. In the getting started guide a set-up with an airport between the server and the router of the internet provider is promoted. The router is the DNS server, the airport the DHCP server for the local network. This is what I like to do as the macmini has only one Ethernet port and other configurations are not possible without making changes in the hardware configuration. The network service documentation seems to me not supporting this set-up. It considers the server to be used as DHCP server and DNS server where the airport is only used as wifi hub. Also I had problems with the initial set-up that gives the option to include the airport in the configuration and should set-up everything automatically. Halfway during the automatic set-up process at the end of the configuration the airport was reset causing the set-up process to fall over. I used the remote set-up process as only this process asks for the airport connection.
I have not figured out how to set-up the DNS to get access to the server from outside . My provider is revering to a site dyndns.com but I have not checked this.
Does anybody have experience with the configuration I am working on. Did I miss something in the set-up or the documentation, especially related to the DNS setup including using dyndns.com and the DHCP set-up.
Thanks for your advice.

The first problem is DNS.
Your router is not a DNS server. When you ask your router to resolve names it is going out to the DNS servers specified by you (or your ISP). So, unless it can find your domain out there on the internet, a client will not be able to resolve your server's name. You have to have a DNS server you can talk to that has a record of your server.
So you need to:
1. Setup DNS on the server
2. Setup DNS on another machine/server
Here is what I would recommend:
1. Setup DNS on your Mini
2. Add the IP of your Mini as the DNS server for your clients.
3. Keep your Airport as the DHCP server
Page 19 is assuming you have asked your ISP to add a DNS record for your domain. If you have not done that, nothing will be able to find your server.
As far as dyndns, you could use them as a DNS server for external access. You setup an account, add your external IP for the address you setup with them and that is pretty much it. You can run the updater on your server which will track your IP and update it in the event you have a dynamic IP and it changes.

Hi,
I am trying to Set/Get Volume level of Input device which has only single channel but no master channel, then it fails to retrieve the kAudioDevicePropertyPreferredChannelsForStereo and intermittently kAudioDevicePropertyVolumeScalar for each channel. But this works well for Output device.
So is there any difference in setting/getting the volume of input channels?
I am pasting the downloadable link to sample.

Thanks in advance.

That works but the the game will not be in full screen, it will have an empty strip at the bottom.
I actually found out what's the problem. I traced the stageWidth and stageHeight during resizing event. I found out that when it first resized, the stage width and height were the size with the notification bar. So when I pass the stage into startling, myStarling = new Starling(Game,stage), the stage is in the wrong size. For some reason, I can only get the correct stage width and height after the third resizing event.
So now I need to restart Starling everytime a resizing event happened. It gives me the right result but I am not sure it is a good idea to do that.
And thanks a lot for your time kglad~I really appriciate your help.

Can I set up a ps3 media server with OSX Mavericks with out additional software?

I cant find any thing on the net about this. Does any one here know how I might set up my PS3 media server with OSX Mavericks with out additional software?

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. You can link to this one.
Try control - clicking on it and see if you get an open option. If not, go to System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General and set it to 'Allow apps downloaded from' anywhere. For safety, you might want to change it back to something more secure.

I just purchased the Mac Mini Server with the intention of replacing Lion Server with Lion for the first hard drive while installing Windows 7 thru Bootcamp on the second hard drive. Is it possible for me to do this? Thanks.

I just purchased the Mac Mini Server with the intention of replacing Lion Server with Lion for the first hard drive while installing Windows 7 thru Bootcamp on the second hard drive. Is it possible for me to do this? Thanks.

I would use Parallels or VMWare and use the second drive to hold the virtual machine. That way the VM only uses the space that it needs and you can still use the remainder of the drive for other things, not to mention that you would not need to reboot to run windows.
Also Time Machine does not back up a boot camp partition.

Can MacMini Server with OS X Lion Server act as an iTunes server for Apple TV2

Can Mac Mini Server with OS X Server act as an iTunes sever for Apple TV2?

If you plan to set up a Mini as media server ...
Why not directly using the Mini as media center?
Then you wont need no Apple TV ...
Then your Mini IS the Apple TV, iTunes sever and so on, especially if e.g. a Elgato or WDTV stick or box is added.

How can you run a command with elevated rights on a remote server with invoke-command ?

I am trying to run a script on a remote server with invoke-command. The script is starting and is running fine, but the problem is that it should be running with elevated rights on the remote server. On the server where I start the invoke-command, my account has the necessary rights.
The server were I launch the invoke-command is a W2K8 R2. The remote box is a W2K3 with powershell v2.0 installed.
When I launch the script on the remote-box from the command line, I don't get the access denied's.
Is there a way to do this ?
Thanks in advance

The script that I want to run is to install the windows updates. I get an access denied on the download of the updates.
When I execute the script on an W2K8 box, (not remotely) and I run it with non-elevated rights, I get the same error.
The script is running fine when it is launched on W2K3 box locally with a domain account that has local admin rights, or on a W2K8 R2 server with a domain account that has local admin rights, but with elevated rights.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
A sub asset master can be created with AS11 only.
You cannot create a asset sub number under a main asset number, in the case, where different set of dep areas needs to be maintained.
When you create a sub asset, all the dep areas will be copied to sub asset's master from main asset master. Since this set of dep areas cannot be different from main asset to sub asset.
Hopw you understood this.
Thanks,
Srinu.

Problem in setting up NAS200 as web server

Hi, I have no idea why i unable to make my NAS200 up as my web server
1st. i set up an account and domain name with tzo.
2nd, i port forward nas200 for port 80 and 21 in my router, which the 2 port is the dfault port that i use in my router setting.
3rd, to double check whether the port is open correctly, i go to www.canyouseeme.org to test the port see if the port is open. Both port showed successfully with my own WAN ip.
Then i type in my WAN ip into browser and nothing is pop out. If this is fail, no need to talk about the TZO stuff right since TZO domain is just a shielf to protect my WAN IP.
Any idea? I doubt whether this NAS200 got problem....

Depending on your router, you may not be able to reach a device on your LAN by using the WAN address. It may be possible to change your router settings to fix this. As soon as your router will route requests to port 80 of your public address to your NAS, regardless of whether the request comes from the LAN or the WAN, you should be good to go on the web interface.
The FTP connection is a whole different story though. The FTP protocol is old and a little weird, because after the client opens a connection to the server (for commands), the server has to open a secondary connection to the client for data. This is largely incompatible with the NAT translation that your router does. Most routers are smart enough nowadays to translate the commands when the FTP client is on the LAN and the server is on the WAN but not the other way around (there are some exceptions).
Apart from all this, the FTP protocol is insecure, and any neighbor can listen in on your FTP traffic and catch all your passwords and files.
Instead of FTP, I recommend using my firmware (see link in signature) which will let you use the SCP protocol over SSH; you will need to open port 22 instead of 21 (and 20) and you will be able to connect to the NAS via a secure connection to download as well as upload files (the HTTP interface will only let you download files from the NAS200).
For more information, see the links in my signature.

Frequent NAS200 Answers:
1. DISABLE the "convert failed logins to guest logins" option to fix permission problems.
2. NEVER insert or remove hard disks while the power is on. NAS200 doesn't support hot swapping.
3. ALWAYS use the power button to turn the NAS200 off, don't just unplug it.
4. Don't trust RAID. Make BACKUPS!
5. To ACCESS the disks directly, you will need ext2 and/or XFS file systems. I recommend using SystemRescueCD.
6. Disks will get HOT with standard fan, use "green" disks or consider replacing the fan.
7. FTP server is insecure and doesn't work behind a NAT router. Use my firmware and SCP instead.
8. MY FIRMWARE supports SSH shell prompt and SCP for secure file access, and allows running other software.

Help with setting up a basic mail server for Notes sync

Hello,
I have managed to setup a CalDAV and CardDAV server for local syncing of my iOS devices with Mavericks via Mavericks Server.
I wish to also sync notes.
I understand a mail server is required and I have been trying to set one up solely for notes sync.
After turning on the mail server I can sync notes to the server on my Mac but I cant figure out how to do it on the iOS devices.
Is it possible to setup a local mail server?
Can someone provide me with a basic guide?
Thanks

Thanks for reply Simon.
I havent been able to find a guide so I have been guessing trying to setup the email server. Basically ive tried to setup a user email [email protected] (syncuser is also the account I use to sync my calendar and contacts)
I have turned on the mail server, made a new account on my Mac in mail:
Description: OS X Server
Email Address: [email protected]
Full Name: syncuser
Incoming Mail Server: myserver.local
User Name: syncuser
In the user account I have added the email address.
Im guesing I have to make the mail account somewhere in the server settings but I cant find anything. If turn off SSL in the mail settings I at least get a response from the server:
Unable to Connect
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “OS X Server” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “myserver.local” on port 143 failed (error 49: Can't assign requested address)

Need help with setting up a photolibrary on server that can be accessed/edited by multiple users

Hi:
I would like to develop an in-house photolibrary for our graphics department. The goal is to be able to add keywords to all our images so that we could have a more dynamic means of searching through our countless scanned images. Lightroom works great with regards to keywording and searching.
To make it so all the computers in our office could have access to the images, I created a photolibrary on our server that can be accessed by any of the computers in our graphics dept. However, when one computer adds keywords to an image, that info does not show up on any of the other computers. Perhaps this is an issue with the trial version and we need to get the license? A few other people suggested that it might have something to do with my export settings - I tried to play around with the settings but had little luck...Any Advise?
Thanks,
Leo

Thanks for your thorough reply. Is there a way to have one MASTER computer that could create the keywords and have the other computers access the master computer's catlogues - or something of that sort. We are small graphics dept. with three people so even that would suffice.
Lightroom is not a networked application, and cannot be set up so that multiple computers can access LR via a network.
The only real workaround with LR is to put the catalog and photos on an external HD and then physically connect the external HD to the computer of the person wanting to use it. So only one person can use the catalog at one time.
You can look up Digital Asset Management (DAM) software on Google if you really need to have multi-user access and networked.

How to set up a local testing server with local-only access

Hi folks,
I've reached the point where I need to do some simple server-side scripting in my Dreamweaver work. I work remotely pretty often, so I want to be able to preview my work without having to go back and forth to the production server. It seems to me the solution would be to install a little web server on my laptop, BUT I'm concerned about security. Is there any way I can set up a local webhost but not make it accessible to the outside world?
I'm really pretty clueless about this stuff, so I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!
-Kim

I would recommend using XAMPP Lite. It's very lightweight and portable when installed on a USB drive or flash stick.

Problem in setting the background color of jtable with Nimbus

Hi
I have created a java swing application. In which I am using JTable.
When creating a simple JTable and displaying with Nimbus, the row background color alternates between white and a light blue-grey.
I want the table with single colour. Only the first column should be grey colour and other should be white.
I used this code to set the background and foreground colour.
public Component prepareRenderer
    (TableCellRenderer renderer, int index_row, int index_col){
            Component objComponent = super.prepareRenderer(renderer, index_row, index_col);

            Color objWhiteColour = new Color(255,255,255);
            if(index_col == 0){
                objComponent.setBackground(objGreyColour);
                objComponent.setFont(new java.awt.Font(CommonClass.getFontName(),java.awt.Font.BOLD, CommonClass.getFontSize()));
                objComponent.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
            }else{
                setSelectionBackground(Color.BLUE);
                objComponent.setBackground(objWhiteColour);
                objComponent.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
            return objComponent;
        } Look wise it is fine but when i try to select the cell it is not highlighting the cell and also i m not able to select multiple cell with ctrl key.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Sonal

Hello,
1) if you want better help soone,r please post an SSCCE (http://sscce.org) instead of a code extract.
2) selection highlighting is lost because your code... doesn't handle selection. To take selection into account, you can use <tt>if (super.isRowselected(index_row)) {...}</TT>.

Help with setting up pointing clients to server..

Okay, here is my situation. We have many macs on the network that currently don't login, open machines. We do have Blue Socket on the wireless, but otherwise the machines are all open. We want to get most, if not all, the macs to authenticate against LDAP or AD (preferrably AD). So I guess we need the Macs clients to go directly to the AD and authenticate, and also have the Macs controlled by the server (privledges, software update, printing, etc).
Question one:
Best way to approach this?
Question two:
How do you get the clients to point to the server if they are getting their IP's from another DHCP server.
(would this be done in directory access via ????)
All the info you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dave
