Separate Wiki Data Stores for Virtual Hosts?

Is it possible to set different data stores to be used for the wikis associated with different sites (i.e. virtual hosts) on a Mac OS X Server (Snow Leopard)?
By default they are in "/Library/Collaboration/" and that is applied to ALL hosted sites.
My client would like a little more differentiation than that offered by user and/or group login.
Thanks in advance.

Ditto.
I noticed it when logged in as a user with permissions to a specific wiki on the server, and went to 'My Page', that updates from all the other wikis on the server are listed, in addition to the updates for the wiki I belong to. I can't get to them by clicking on the links, but they show up in the list. Makes it pretty hard to focus on your wiki, when you see updates from multiple other wikis listed.
It would seem like there must be a fix in the code for both the 'My Page' and the generic top-level '/groups', but I don't know the code structure well enough yet to figure out how/where to fix it.
Anyone else find a solution for this? I don't think I can roll out multiple domains/wikis on one server, if this behavior is present.

Moving/backing-up wiki data store

Hi all, I've been trying to read up on this in the support PDfs but without concrete results.
Would anyone know what the correct terminal command would be to move the content of /Library/Collaboration/ to another volume without losing the permissions?
And also, more importantly, if I would like to change the location of the wiki Data Store in the Web Service settings in Server Admin and move the wiki files there, will they automatically connect again?
I'm not talking about moving the wiki to another server, only moving the wiki files to another location than the default Collaboration folder.
Thanks for any pointers on this!

Use ditto in terminal to copy files while keeping the permission intact
sudo ditto <src> <destination>
You can have -V switch to keep track what it's moving.
This is from another thread but the principal is the same:
Joe Kohlmann posted "Re: group wikis "disappeared"" in "group wikis "disappeared"" on Sep 1, 2009 3:37:20 PM.
I encountered this problem on a PowerMac G5 server after what I suspect was applying Security Update 2009-004. At this point I am not sure, however - I only know that my backup had 10.5.8, did not have Security Update 2009-004, and still had its wiki pages intact. For all I know, this could have also stemmed from a completely unrelated volume corruption issue.
Anyway, I fixed my particular instance of this issue by renaming the /Library/Collaboration folder, creating a new, empty /Library/Collaboration folder with the correct permissions, restarting the Web Server, copying the wiki pages back into the new /Library/Collaboration folder, deleting the Wiki Server's index.db file, and finally restarting the Web Server once more. This did the trick for me.
Here's an adapted list of shell commands I used to accomplish this (comments noted {like this} with curly braces):
$ sudo mv /Library/Collaboration /Library/Collaboration_broken
$ sudo mkdir /Library/Collaboration
$ sudo chown teamsserver:teamsserver /Library/Collaboration
$ sudo chmod 775 /Library/Collaboration
{Restart Web Server using Server Admin}
{Re-enable Wikis under Sites section, whatever domain, Web Services tab}
{Check the Wiki page in a web browser; this re-initializes the wikis, making them appear in the web browser, though empty and with the generic "Welcome" page.}
$ sudo cp -Rp /Library/Collaboration_broken/Groups/{group name}/wiki/*.page /Library/Collaboration/Groups/{group name}/wiki/
$ sudo rm /Library/Collaboration_broken/Groups/{group name}/index.db
{Restart Web Server using Server Admin}

Error:Unable to determine data basis for virtual InfoCube.

Hi all,
 I am working on Virtual cubes. I have created a query on virtual cube which is getting loaded from a transaction cube. I am using a transaction cube which is a copy of standard cube 0BCS_C10 - Consolidation (Company/Profit Center). (Transaction cube).
When I execute the query in BEX it is disconnecting from the server and if I execute the same in transaction RSRT it is showing following errors.
1.Unable to determine data basis for virtual InfoCube.
2.Error reading the data of InfoProvider.
3.System error in program SAPLRRK0 and form RSRDR;SRRK0F30-01-
Will be thankful for suggestions.

Hi Pankesh,
Thanks for the response..
 Transaction cube contains data and characteristics of virtual cube are consistent.
 I am trying to see the contents of the virtual cube in transaction LISTCUBE, there also its showing same errors.
How can I proceed now?

Configuring default web apps for virtual hosts

Hi,
This posting is meant save time for anyone trying to specify a default web app
for each of their virtual hosts (as opposed to specifying a default web app for
each of their wl servers). This applies to weblogic 6.1, on NT. (I haven't tried
this on other platforms).
If you are trying to use the admin console to do this, give up. It's not possible.
The "Virtual Host/Configuration" window lets you specify everything about that
vhost configuration EXCEPT a default web app. (The "Default Web Application" drop
down menu will always have only one option to choose from: "none").
Instead, shutdown your server, and edit your domain's config.xml file manually.
Attached is an example config file that specifies that the web app "kz" should
be the default web app for the vhost "wl.kz.com", and that the web app "kahuna"
should be the default web app for the vhost "www.kahuna.com".
Hope this helps,

[config.xml]

Hi,
Is it possible to configure default web appls for virtual hosts
with Weblogic 6.0 on NT platform? I tried to configure the configure.xml as Brian
did, it doesnot work. I am just wondering if there's any other possible way to
do this.
Thanks.

Wiki listed under other virtual hosts

I have a wiki where under "Settings > Advanced" it is set to be restricted to a specific hostname. Using http://www.myhost.com/groups/mywiki I can access the wiki fine, and I see it listed when I go to http://www.myhost.com/groups/. If I try to access the wiki using a different hostname (e.g. http://www.otherhost.com/groups/mywiki ), I get a 404 error (so far so good). However, if, using this other hostname, I ask for a list of available wikis (i.e. http://www.otherhost.com/groups/) the wiki is listed there, even if I get a 404 when I click on it. Shouldn't the wiki be invisible? How do I make it so that the wikis under one virtual host are completely isolated from other virtual hosts?
I have tried deleting and recreating the wiki; turning the Settings > Advanced on and off; etc etc. Same behavior each time.

Ditto.

Corrupted wiki list with multiple virtual host

Hello,
I have several virtual hosts and I want each of them to only list of wikis which are associated with them using the Wiki Admin Settings -> Advanced : Specific Host Names.
This does not seem to work. As soon as a wiki is associated to a specific virtual host it disappears from the list of wiki (http://hostname/groups/) (on all virtual hosts actually). The wiki itself can still be accessed by its explicit address: http:/hostname/groups/wikiname
If I manually edit the sql3 file directoryIndex.db in /Library/Application Support/Apple/WikiServer
and replace the specific host name by "*", the wiki reappears in the wiki list but on ALL virtual host. Still it remains accessible only in the one designated in the wiki Settings.
Most frustrating. Any workaround ? Seems like a bug but the wiki implementation being so convoluted I am not completely sure.
Any help ?
Thanks

Multiple IP vs Same IP multiple port for virtual hosts

Anyone have any recommendations or experience in setting up a virtual host that has a listener for each site?
The issue is when I have to restart a single site, I have to restart them all, because they are installed under the same listener/server.
I need a setup where I can install and manage each website (on the same box) on it's own listener/server instance so re-starting one site doesn't effect another.

Add a service in the Network preference pane. Select the network interface you want; e.g., Ethernet. Configure as desired. Apply and test.

Unity Data Store for unity 8

Guys,
Im installing unity 8.0.3 , but unfortunately stuck at " cisco data store" .When i searched google itsays to install "sql server 2005 sp3" or"sql server express 2005 sp3". I installed express , but unity assistant still shows the result as "failed".
Any help from u guys will be appreciatable.

You should take a look at the "Read Me" file as it states that the Unity Data Store DVD for Unity 8 is NOT available for download. Refer to the following:
Do Not Use the Cisco Unity Data Store 2000 Disc from Cisco Unity 7.x and Earlier to Upgrade to Cisco Unity 8.0
If you are upgrading to Cisco Unity 8.0 and reinstalling software on the Cisco Unity server (for example, because you are replacing the server or upgrading to Windows Server 2003), you must use the Data Store 2000 disc that ships with Cisco Unity 8.0. The Data Store 2000 disc that shipped with earlier versions of Cisco Unity has a different directory structure, and the Cisco Unity System Setup Assistant, which guides you through installing and configuring Cisco Unity 8.0, will not recognize the Data Store 2000 disc that shipped with Cisco Unity 7.x and earlier. (If you paid for an upgrade to SQL Server 2005, we will ship you a Data Store 2005 disc with the rest of your Cisco Unity software.)
The Cisco Unity 8.0 version of the Data Store 2000 disc is not available for download on Cisco.com. To perform an upgrade that requires reinstalling software on the Cisco Unity server, you must either wait for the Cisco Unity 8.0 installation discs to arrive or manually install SQL Server 2000 or MSDE 2000. Manually installing the application is not documented and, therefore, not supported.
There's your answer. You need to order the upgrade kit from Cisco in order to get the proper DVD.

Mod_rewrite not working for virtual host nor .htaccess

I've been tearing my hair out trying to implement mod_rewrite on my Leopard Server. I have finally been able to get mod_rewrite to log what it does, but that has only shown that it DOES periodically respond to a /server_status request from the server itself, but any request to the virtual host (which is otherwise working) does not result in mod_rewrite being 'triggered.' I've tried all the usual suspects, in just about every permutation and combination:
1) .htaccess in all its guises and Override All;
2) RewriteEngine On;
3) http.conf, the virtual xxxx_80_virtualhostname.com.conf;
4) Options All -Includes -ExecCGI +MultiViews -Indexes +FollowSymlinks;
5) other less credible ideas gleaned from the Apple discussions and the web.
If I had to summarise the effect, it's that
a) mod_rewrite is on (as shown by the regular /server_status entries in the rewrite.log);
b) xxxx_80_virtualhostname.com.conf is read when the virtual host is turned on (because the site is active and can be turned off, at will);
c) any mod_rewrite and Options entries in the vistual host xxxx_80_virtualhostname.com.conf seem to be being studiously ignored, even though the .conf file is being read and used.
This part of http.conf is what seems to turn on the logging:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteLog /private/var/log/apache2/rewrite.log
 RewriteLogLevel 9
</IfModule>
Here's the section of xxxx_80_virtualhostname.com.conf:
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/com.VirtualHostName">
 AllowOverride All
 <IfModule mod_dav.c>
 DAV Off
 </IfModule>
 Options All -Includes -ExecCGI +MultiViews -Indexes +FollowSymlinks
</Directory>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteLog /private/var/log/apache2/rewrite.log
 RewriteLogLevel 9
 RewriteRule ^/Tom.html$ /Mary.html [R]
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^TRACE
 RewriteRule .* - [F]
</IfModule>
This is a variant of the .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/Tom.html$ /MARY.html [R]
It makes no difference whether the RewriteBase is present in the .htaccess or the xxxx_80_virtualhostname.com.conf, or both.
No amount of pass-though [PT] or redirect [R] has any effect, either.
I do have Lasso 8.5 installed, but the developer says that Lasso should have no effect on the proper functioning of mod_rewrite.
mod_rewrite is working (i.e. it's on, as shown by the /server_status entries in the log and that the log is being updated), but it is also not working (in that no matter what I put into xxxx_80_virtualhostname.com.conf and/or .htaccess, there is no entry in the rewrite.log nor in the system logs).
Hence, I'm stumped. Any suggestions would be very, very welcome.

Never mind. I discovered that Server had created several versions of the virtual host .conf file in the sites folder (I've no idea why, when, or how it would do that). They all had different numbers and so were well hidden within the dozens of other .conf files. Once I a) found the right .conf file for the virtual host, and b) deleted the rest from the sites folder, my mod_rewrite code worked fine.
Hence, if you find that mod_rewrite is working, but not for a particular virtual host, make darn sure that there are no errant .conf files for the domain and, if there are, that you're editing the correct one.

How do I configure Apache for Virtual Hosts?

This is whatI've done so far: I have a static IP. I have a registered domain name that points to this IP. I've made my sites in iWeb. Set up my computer for Personal Web Sharing. I've used Smultron to edit the httpd.conf files per this tutorial : http://www.macminicolo.net/videos/ServerVideo6.mov. Still no luck. I can't access the site from the internet.
Can anyone shed some light ?

DNS settings for virtual host 10.6 server

We have just gone through a rebranding exercise, i.e. the company name has changed from 'mycompany' to our 'ourcompany'.
For various reasons we have decided to not rename our complete setup, but rather add a virtual host for our mail server including a second primary DNS zone for the new domain 'ourcompany'.
We are hosting our website externally, however since we added the second primary DNS zone incl. an A record (www) pointing to our external website hosts IP for 'ourcompany', workstations on our LAN can no longer access the website.
Running DIG for 'www.ourcompany.com.au' results in the correct A record IP address being shown, but it is still not showing in any browser – we also made sure we emptied our caches.
Although we thought this should work relatively easily, we are now totally confused as to the additional primary zones general settings... currently we allow zone transfer and provide an entry in the nameserver section.
Any ideas as to what might be going on here would be greatly appreciated.

Mr. Hoffman,
Than you very much for your reply - unfortunately, despite studying and testing your advice (incl. wesbite) we seem to not get much further.
Please find our comments inserted below...
MrHoffman wrote:
FWIW, both mycompany.com.au and ourcompany.com.au are real and registered domains; I'll presume they're not the domains you're migrating from or to. Accordingly, I'll use example.org for your old stuff, and example.com for your new stuff; the example domains are RFC-reserved for this usage.
Correct we are not using my bad example domains.
Each host should have one A record (and one AAAA record, if you have IPv6 active), and one of the more common errors in these migrations is setting up an A record for each new domain that might arrive; each host has one A (and possibly one AAAA) record, and that's the canonical name for that host. Externally, that'll probably be the latest name in any sequence (such as www.example.com), and all previous names (including www.example.org) will have CNAME entries.
To clarify do you mean the following: internally we should not have more than one A record for each host... i.e. one for example.org and one for example.com and presumably any other subdomains should be CNAME records?
2. externally we should change the A record for www.example.org to a CNAME record and create a new A record for www.example.com;
Internally (and here's why having a different domain inside is handy) use one of the old names; use example.org, for instance. This means you can use the public DNS services for the external web sites and resources; your internal DNS servers receive the requests for example.com hosts and go "duh, lemme ask somebody else for that", and that somebody else is the (public) DNS server your external DNS services for example.com hosts.
Exactly what we had initially done - basically we (naively) thought we could get away with only relying on external DNS translations... however that resulted in mail clients on our LAN loosing their connection every 5-10 minutes, thus we decided to setup another primary DNS zone which fixed that problem but created the other.
Please also note we have created a subdomain admin.example.com which properly resolves to the CMS backend - btw. from within this backend you can then preview the any page on the regular website with their non www. URLs.
Since the current setup resolves to the correct IP address I wonder if it could be a problem with the .htaccess rewrite rules the web developer has setup to remove the www. ... or is this too far fetched?
The usual trigger for not reaching the external A (or AAAA) records is either a stale cache on the particular client (for translations inside the Time To Live (TTL) values for the old DNS translations, or pending a local cache flush on each client), or (and this is more common) confusion over authoritative DNS servers; you have your internal DNS configured as authoritative for the new www.example.com domain, and also authoritative for the old www.example.org domain, and your external DNS is also authoritative for (probably) both domains. Internal requests get as far as the internal server, and get an authoritative translation (possibly being "no such host"), and don't go any further.
Safari & Firefox present with 'Server not found' errors.
So we are still stuck thus any further advice would be much appreciated.

Starting EHPI for virtual Host

Hi All,
Can you help me with how to start the EHPI with the virtual host name.
Thanks in Advance
Anthony

Hi,
The main thing in cluster is to use one Hostname during the Upgrade.
Please use the physical hostnames in the profiles also and the UPG
should run till the end.
The EHPI needs an instance named with the usual DVEBMGS format.
The upgrade
should run on the same host as the central instance.
Please check the SAP notes:

Best Practices for Virtual Hosting

I am providing hosting for a few churches besides our own and had some question regarding best practices.
My primary domain say is churchhosting.com with an A record "mail.churchhosting.com" pointing to my static ip. It also has a MX record to "mail.churchhosting.com" and a PTR record set by my ISP to "mail.churchhosting.com".
For the other sites I am hosting say "church1.com" and "church2.com", should I set their MX record to "mail.churchhosting.com" or have an A record "mail.church1.com" pointing to my static ip with a MX record to "mail.church1.com." and likewise with the "church2.com" domain.
What would the best practice be and the potential problems that either might present with the server?

Am I doing this correctly? I want to know how many SSL certs I need under the following:
In a similar situation, I think. I have multiple virtual domains setup. For example, company.com, company1.com, company2.com.
Mail Services General Settings show the host name at company.com. All the company.com, company1.com and company2.com are listed under Advanced > Hosting as virtual domains.
All these domains are on a single IP address. The DNS is hosted at godaddy and all MX records for company.com, company1.com, and company2.com are '0 @ company.com'.
All the CNAME records for mail.company.com, mail.company1.com, and mail.company2.com point to "@" and all the A records point to the same IP address. There is only one server.
I think what this means is that I've set it up so that all mail.xxx.com is routed to mail.company.com for all virtual domains. I want to use SSL certs for mail. How many will I need under this arrangement? Is it just one for mail.company.com or is it 3, one for each virtual domain?
Thanks.

MSSQL server as data store for SUN Java system Identity server 6.1

Hi,
I am a new user to SUN java system Identity server 6.1. Can we use RDBMS such as MSSQL server as a datastore for IS?
if so, what is the configuration that needs to be done on IS 6.1?
Thanks in advance,

Hello All,
Waiting for any idea for the long time. I am trying again and again by restoring my directory server zone. I have two whole root zones one i am using for sun portal and communication suite 5 and other is for directory server. They are working fine. but when i try to install the Sun Java System Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 on directory server zone. Some time it hangs at 97% while installing core and some time it giving error the installer cannot upload some entries in the template this error comes when i restore my directory server zone.
Can some please give me idea why it giving these error on solaris zone.
Thanks in Advance,

Set up reverse DNS for virtual mail hosting

I need a bit of server configuation advice.
I have a static IP and two public domains on a Snow Leopard server connected using NAT behind a firewall - with the necessary port forwarding to ensure all works.
1. abc.com is my primary domain on the server - server.abc.com
2. I have xyz.com set up as a virtual domain and also as a virtual mail host
This setup has worked well for a long time but I have found that emails to [email protected] are going missing. If I check my mx records using one of the web based tools it show an error on the reverse dns for server.xyz.com showing a reverse DNS of server.abc.com.
So the question - is it possible to have secondary 'virtual' DNS record on the server so reverse DNS works for the virtual mail host xyz.com? If not how do I handle the reverse DNS problem which i think is causing some external mail server to reject mail due to the inconsistency on the reverse DNS lookup?
Many thanks for any suggestions

SMTP requires a DNS A record.
A DNS A record is also known as a machine record.
A DNS A record inherently means that forward DNS and reverse DNS will match.
The forward translation translates the host name to the IP address.
The reverse translation translates the IP address to host name.
When the full translation produces the same host name, that's an A record.
DNS CNAME records are aliases, and are used for virtual hosts.
CNAME records inherently do not match the reverse DNS translations.
To get your configuration to work, your server must have an A record.
That means forward and reverse DNS will match.
Any of the virtual hosts within your mail server then all use an MX pointing at the A record host.
If you have your DNS hosted somewhere other than your ISP, then you'll need your ISP to set up a DNS PTR.
The DNS PTR is the reverse translation; address to name.
If you have your own DNS services within your network (as would be typical with a privately-addressed NAT'd network), set that up as a virtual host within SMTP.
Here is some related reading on external (public) DNS, as related to SMTP servers and such.
