Proper parameters for Apache in Snow Leopard

Since reinstalling Snow Leopard, I'm having a terrible time getting Apache to work. I have a redirect going on my web site from www.xxxxx.com to www2.xxxxx.com:8102. This redirect is not working and I think the problem exists in my httpd.conf file which I had to rebuild from scratch after the reinstallation. Here are the configuration parameters - are there any obvious errors I've made? I'm banging my head against the wall here! Thanks:
ServerRoot "/private/etc/apache2"
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80
Listen 8102
The apachectl -t test is showing this:
httpd: Syntax error on line 54 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /private/etc/apache2/libexec/apache2/modauthnfile.so into server: dlopen(/private/etc/apache2/libexec/apache2/modauthnfile.so, 10): image not found
Jim-Coyles-iMac:apache2 jimcoyle$
It's seeming that there is some sort of linkage missing between /private and the Apache executables. I could use some insight into this issue too.

Thanks for your help. I'm a bit of a novice at this. Here it is:
Jim-Coyles-iMac:apache2 jimcoyle$ ls -ale@ /private/etc/apache2/libexec/apache2/modauthnfile.so
ls: /private/etc/apache2/libexec/apache2/modauthnfile.so: No such file or directory
To me, this means one of three things: either I have the Server Root wrong in the httpd.conf, OR, there is some sort of linkage missing between /private/etc/apache2 and the location of the modules which, in fact, is in /usr/libexec/apache2.
Would you happen to know what the Server Root should be set to?

I've never even seen such a thing in SL. That said, it's pretty difficult to understand this so called "bug" without some sort of reference. Do you have a screen shot you could post?

Looking for copy of snow leopard, hate lion but don't want to pay 100$

I am looking for copy of snow leopard for a reasonable price. I hate lion it will not run any of my power pc software that I've spent $$ on. But don't want to pay 100$+ for a copy when a few months ago you could get it for 29$

It's still $29, unless you want to pay $100 for some opportunists selling it through Amazon or eBay.
To upgrade, you must buy Snow Leopard by calling the phone number in the Apple Online Store: 800-MY-APPLE (in the US).
Snow Leopard is not available for download from any legitimate source.
Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
An Intel processor
An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
At least 1 GB of memory (RAM) (additional RAM is recommended)
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools

Support for iCloud under Snow Leopard

Get the message "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again"
On Apple Support page titled: FaceTime, Game Center, Messages: Toubleshooting sign in issues
all items in Resolution list are OK, e.g., have an active Internet connection, have a valid Apple ID and verified, etc.

Thank you for the reply.
As my father-in-law's MacBook (10.6.8) with FaceTime 1.0.4 is not at hand now, I can not check it for myself right away.
But my understanding is :
(1) FaceTime 1.0.5 update is free for download for the OSX 10.6 users who have already purchased and installed FaceTime 1.0.4 or earlier.
(2) The OSX 10.6 users who want to start using FaceTime from now, need to purchase the 1.0.5 for $0.99 (just as other OSX 10.6 users did before).
The latter (2) is because OSX 10.6 does not include FaceTime which was not ready at the time of its release. Due to some accounting regulation, Apple chose to sell the FaceTime to OSX 10.6 users at the mimimum price rather than to add the function afterward for free.
That means every OSX 10.6 user who wants to use FaceTime has to pay $0.99 at some point of time, but I believe Apple is not so greedy to charge the same software twice to fix its bug.
I guess the screen shot you posted might be taken either by a non-OSX 10.6 Mac, or by OSX 10.6 Mac without FaceTime installed. If you see the same page by a OSX 10.6 Mac with FaceTime alreay installed, it will look diffrently.
Anyway, I may be wrong, but I will check it with my father-in-laws' MacBook hopefully this afternoon.

Best Browser For Old/Slowing Snow Leopard?

I have an iMac desktop from mid 2008 running Snow Leopard, software up to date, 2.66 Ghz Core 2 Duo, & 2GB RAM. I have Safari, Firefox, Opera, & Chrome. Safari used to have a lot of issues until the last 2 updates for it came and it works fine now, but is a total RAM hog and is pretty slow if I have more than 2 tabs. Firefox not so much, but is slow compared to Safari & Chrome. Chrome would be my choice as it handles everything very well, but since a few months ago Chrome would randomly disconnect from the internet after browsing a few pages and I would have to quit and then relaunch Chrome. This happens regardless of whether or not I have other applications that use internet connection running. Chrome never cuts out if I'm just on youtube, so I use Safari for non Flash pages & Chrome for youtube almost exclusively. Opera... feels like a dead horse at this point. I would like to know if there are any other fast, lightweight browsers that run well on Snow Leopard that may be comparable to Chrome, or if anyone has encountered my problems with Chrome and has a fix (I've tried deleting & using appcleaner and reinstalling as well).

Personally, I would ditch any Google software, including, Chrome as it is a total OS X resource hog.
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95319?hl=en
I have, also, stopped using the Google search engine regularly (due to Google's privacy policies or lack thereof) and I now use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine.
Also,your OS X 10.6 version of Safari is out of date and has not had any security updates for quite awhile.
Your best bet is to just stay using Moziila FireFox, and no other browser, as it gets regularly updated by the great developers of the Mozilla group.
The current, up-to-date version of FireFox is STILL fully compatible with OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Also, as previously mentioned, your year and model Mac can take up to 6 GBs of RAM.
This will speed up processes considerably and will help alleviate some of your slowdown issues.
If you live in the U.S. , Correct, compatible and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
OWC (macsales.com) has the proper RAM module or kit needed to get your Mac to the 6 GB RAM total limit.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/6400DDR2S6GP/
RAM is user installable and is, relatively, easy to install be newbie and novice Mac users.

Good Luck!

PhotoShop Elements 6 for Mac under Snow Leopard?

Hi. Apple's new operating system for Mac, Snow Leopard is being released tomorrow.
According to the Snow Leopard wiki, Photoshop Elements 6 does not work under Snow Leopard:
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
I contacted Adobe to ask if they had any plans to update Photoshop Elements 6 to work with Snow Leopard. The response I got from their support was that Adobe Photoshop Elements was programmed before Snow Leopard and so they weren't responsible if it didn't work.
I am pissed because of course Photoshop Elements was programmed before Snow Leopard. EVERY software program was. Most of my software (and I have a lot of apps) are being updated for Snow Leopard by their developers.
I'm writing this post just to make sure that Photoshop Elements doesn't work under Snow Leopard. It's possible whoever posted that Photoshop Elements didn't work under Snow Leopard could have been having an isolated problem.
So, if anyone tries Photoshop Elements with Snow Leopard, please post here whether or not it works.
Thanks a lot.

No, there are no significant known conflicts with Snow Leopard, so that's not your problem. Have you deleted prefs since the upgrade? Was this an upgrade in place rather than an erase install? If so, go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Paths Folder
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 Settings Folder
Opera preferences
repair permissions and see if it's any better. Do you have any third party content installed in PSE? There may well be conflicts with that, if so.

How to format an external hard drive for vista and snow leopard?

I want to format an external hard drive to attach to Airport Extreme base station to us with Snow Leopard and a PC with Vista. What format should I use for read/write access for both?

I use NTFS for my external drives being used on both Macs and Windows. To get the Mac to write to NTFS, you need a separate program. I use Paragon for Mac software. It works behind the scenes. There are also some free things that do the same thing but I found them cranky and unreliable. YMMV.
Windows can not read any of the Mac disk formats without additional software.. FAT32 is fine but is extremely limited.
For the last year, I have had absolutely no problems on any computer, Mac or Windows.

Suggestions for Safely Installing Snow Leopard

Many users seem to be having problems upgrading to Snow Leopard. Here is a suggested installation procedure to minimize problems:
1. Repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Make a cloned backup of your startup system to a freshly formatted drive - external or internal.
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means your extra internal or external backup drive.
Source means your current startup drive.
3. Upgrade to Snow Leopard on the backup drive.
4. After upgrading to Snow Leopard restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Snow Leopard drive and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After booting into Snow Leopard you can check everything out to be sure everything is working properly. If you have any problems you cannot resolve then simply restart from your Leo system on your regular startup volume.
When you install Snow Leopard I suggest that you first disable all third-party startup and login items, third-party contextual menu items, input managers, preference panes, and Internet plug-ins as many may be incompatible. During installation do not touch the computer except to reply to a dialog. Wait for everything to finish normally.

Kappy many thanks for the posted advice on SL, which I followed, thanks to being directed here from replies to my own post on my SL install problems...
I did as you suggested - repair the hard drive and permissions, then created a clone by making a new partition (Macintosh HD_2) and installed SL on that, and it all went fine
However, I now have my active SL installation on a the partition called Macintosh HD_2, and I still have all the old OSX install on the original Macintosh HD. The system is def running on SL, loaded from HD_2.
My question is, can I just delete the original OSX install, and if so, do I just delete that partition, to recover the disk space? I presume I can just extend HD_2 to gobble up the available space when Macintosh HD is deleted?
(Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD_2 are of course partitions on the integral hard drive)
Your advice would be much appreciated...

You could try installing again over your existing install. And, if you want to go back to Leopard, then you will need to do an erase and install. I would first try the Leopard (i.e., 10.5) DVD. But, you may have to use the Snow Leopard (i.e., 10.6) DVD for the erase part. Let's assume the first for now. Startup from the DVD by holding down c when starting up. Next, when able, choose your language and stop. Then, using the menus at the top, select Disk Utility and erase you drive. Next, quit Disk Utility and continue the install. After the install is complete, insert your Leopard applications disk and install the programs you want. Now, you are done.
In the other case, you will have to exit the installer after exiting Disk Utility. Next, you would startup with your Leopard DVD again by holding c down during startup. Now, after selecting your language again, just click install. After the installer is finished, install your applications as above.

Save for Web in Snow Leopard seems broken

Whenever I try to Save For Web in Illustrator CS4 under Snow Leopard, all I get is a black square.
Curious to see if anyone else has this problem. (I'm also curious--if this is indeed a problem witih Illustrator--to see if Adobe plans on fixing this problem before 2012.)

I notice that the same feature is also broken in Photoshop.
I'd be happy to find out that I've done something wrong...but I'm not sure at the moment what that would be.

Contextual Menu Plug-in for Finder in Snow Leopard

I have Contextual Menu Plug-in for Finder which works with my application, but it doesn't work in Snow Leopard. I read that plugins are not supported in 64bit environment. There is still Menus.h file with CFPlugin interface in 10.6 SDK, but my plugin not loaded by Finder even it is compiled for x86_64.
I read about revamped Services that they should be used, but I didn't find a clue how to create dynamic menu with tree of items.
I need to communicate with another application which runs on background and creates menu items in dependency of selected items, their path and other conditions.
Application is written in Java and CMPlugin (which doesn't work in 10.6) is in C++.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi
Guys, any suggestion?

New location for domain in Snow Leopard?

Just did a clean install for Snow Leopard and went to put my domain file back in user/library/app support/iweb.But I don't see it there. I now have it residing on my desktop. Where do I put it now?
Best,
Tom

The domain file can be stored anywhere you wish and launched in iWeb by double clicking it.
If you want to return it to the default location, - Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb - open the folder "Application Support", create a new folder inside it called iWeb and drag your domain file into it.
Now double click the file to launch iWeb, save and quit. After this, your site should appear when you launch iWeb.
