Server Admin can't connect to my server

I updated to 10.4.10 and since then I haven't been able to connect to my server using Server Admin or Server Monitor. In my system.log i get the following error over and over again:
/Applications/Server/Server Admin.app/Contents/MacOS/Server Admin: [533] ServerManager session failed in connect(server.example.com,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,311): 61\n
I appologize if this is a dup. With no search function currently, it's hard to find what I'm looking for.

You could try this as an almost last resort ( would only if i have a reasonably recent backup of the data on that drive JUST in case it becomes non-bootable (Very slim chance; but 1% is still higher than 0%)
Here we go:
Delete kernel extension caches, other caches for some issues
A number of common issues that crop up after incremental Mac OS X updates can be resolved by deleting specific cache files -- specifically kernel extension caches -- and restarting.
This can most easily be accomplished with a shareware utility like Tiger Cache Cleaner, but also bears a manual process which involves dragging the following files to the trash:
com.apple.kernelcaches (a folder in /System/Library/Caches)
Extensions.kextcache (a file in /System/Library)
Extensions.mkext (a file in /System/Library/)
com.apple.ATS (a folder in /Library/Caches/)
Files that start with com.apple.LaunchServices (in /Library/Caches)
You will be prompted to enter your administrator password when dragging these files to the trash. You may need to restart after moving them to the trash.
Re-apply the Mac OS X 10.4.10 combo updater
A workaround that has proved successful for various problems caused by previous incremental Mac OS X updaters is re-application of the current combination updater:
Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update (PPC) [165MB]
http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-reg3rdpty2.pl/product=14212&cat=1&platform =osx&method=sa/MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.10PPC.dmg
Mac OS X Server 10.4.10 Combo Update (PPC) [218MB]
http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-reg3rdpty2.pl/product=14218&cat=1&platform =osx&method=sa/MacOSXSrvrCombo10.4.10PPC.dmg
Doing so overwrites potentially problem-causing files that were not replaced by the "Delta" (adjacent version-to-version) update.
(Pulled this info from here http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070709083624260 )
Then I would agree you will probably have no recourse but to reinstall.

Server admin can not connect to server

My 10.6.8 Mac Mini server decided that no user defined in the Workgroup manager should be allowed to connect to the server using Server Admin.
Not root, not admin, not myself although I have admin privileges.
What would be the proper way to fix this?

This looks like FTPS which is not supported on the ASA. You can workaround it by trying to connect using Active mode from the outside instead of PSV.

Can't connect to the modem's server.

Hi guys, I have a major problem.
When ever I connect to the internet with my modem, it works. But, when I connect to internet with my router and modem, I can't connect. But I have solved my problem by resetting both, my wireless router and modem. Then after I reconfigure my wireless router all I need to do is to log into my modem's server. But I can't connect to the modem's server. I tired logging in with "admin" (being the password) but I still can't connect to it.
I am using: Verizon Broadband Network
                 Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router model: WRT160N
                 Westell modem model 6100
What is the problem? Has anyone experienced this problem before?
Message Edited by machg on 04-11-2009 07:10 PM
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You will not be able to log into the modem as long as the router is plugged in
You must configure the modem first to bridge mode,then plug in the router and log into it
   1.)unplug router and have only the modem in
       go to 192.168.1.1 enter
      that will take you into the verizon modem/ if you have reset the modem then your user is; admin
                                                                                                                     your password is ; password
     once you lopg into that it will ask you to change the username/password
      just type in ADMIN in all 3 blanks
now you are logged into the modem;;;;;;go to network at the top,then network connections on the left,broadband connection ,you will then put your protocol on bridge/routed bridge,
now go to wireless settings at the top and make sure wireless is turned on
you have the option to set up a security key on basic security settings
once your modem resets then plug in your router,you are now in bridge mode and the modems connection has moved to your router. you must restart modem and computer for everything to take effect....
also make sure and refresh your network list on your laptop
Hope this works

CF Can't Connect To Mail Server

I have been running CF 8 since release and generally no
problems. Now, it can't connect to our mail server and there
appears to be no reason. Here's the setup: We have CF 8 Standard on
Win 2003 server. The same box runs SmarterMail 4.3.
When I try to verify connection settings in CF Administrator,
it fails, using all of the same settings that worked 2 hours ago.
I've tried restarting the CF service and that didn't help.
Any ideas are much appreciated!

> it fails, using
> all of the same settings that worked 2 hours ago.
Something has changed in your config.
It might not have been you who changed it, so ask around.
THis sort of thing doesn't just "stop working", without
intervention of
some description.
Have you checked your SMTP server is responsive?
Have you given the system a reboot (it is Windows after all,
so this is
almost the first troubleshooting step).
Is you mail server set to relay email for the CF server? (NB:
do NOT set
an OPEN relay. That would be bad).
Have your relay settings, or login creds changed?
Has anyone been fiddling with your firewall or port filters
or anything?
Have you asked your mail admin what they've been doing?
There's really a lot of things you could investigate and
report back on, I
think.

SharePoint Server 2010 can't connect to the Configuration Database

Hi Techys,
I have a SharePoint Server 2010 Farm, and I have Installed SharePoint SP1 package,
Then I,m trying to run the SharePoint configuration wizard, That time i have the below error.
"Can't connect to the Configuration Database"
I have checked all the services belongs to the sql server and SharePoint server.
here i found, SharePoint Timer service is automatically Stopped while browsing the Central admin url.
Please help me to resolve the above issue.
Many Thanks,
Madhu

What you mean error in Config wizard, could you please share the complete error log?
For Timer Services, check under which account it is running and check event log why its stoped?
for CA error there are couple of possible reason for this:
Make sure SQL related instances / services are running fine.
Make sure your farm admin account have permission on config DB.
Make sure Config Database Exist.
Make sure you can connect to SQL server from your APP /WFE.
If everything is running fine, then you may need to reconfigure the sharepiont products and technologies configuration wizard. The issues might be because of the update that might have installed some additional components for installation.
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

New member of ora_dba group on server can not connect as sysdba.

We have added a new dba to our staff and have made him a member of the local group Ora_dba on the server (9i windows). He can not connect as sysdba but a long-time dba can.
SQL> connect / @s1 as sysdba
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
I know this is a very old Oracle challenge so I am sure someone can give us some guidance!
Thanks

1) Examine the contents of the file located at:
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/config.c
This file lists the operating-system groups that have administrative access, notably the one listed in the line containing "SS_DBA_GROUP". Is t
he UNIX account you are using to connect / as sysdba a member of this OS group?
2) Examine the contents of the file located at:
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
Within this file, the line containing the string "SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES" should either be commented out, or be set to SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (BEQ,NONE)
3) Check the value of $ORACLE_SID for the UNIX account(s) connecting / as sysdba to ensure it is correct.

Safari can't connect to server with parental controls on

I have one user with admin rights and one user plus guest with parental controls turned on. Recently when parental controls are turned on, I get 'safari can't connect to server' error. When I turn parental controls off again I can connect to the internet again. Why is this?

Hi and welcome....
Unfortunately, Parental Controls can only be enabled on a non admin account.
See if there's a proxy set up for Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Click "Change Settings" next to: Proxies.
That will launch System Preferences / Network - Proxies.
If there are any boxes checked under: Select a protocol to configure, deselect the box then click Ok.
Quit Safari (Command + Q) then relaunch Safari.
See if Safari can connect in a parental controlled user account.

Windows can't connect to shares on Lion Server

I can't connect any windows machines (XP, Vist, or 7) to a Mac Pro running Lion Server. When attempting to connect, the windows user is prompted for credentials, and nothing entered in this box works even the server admin account info, once entering account credentials, it comes back with NAMEOFWINDOWSCOMPUTER\USER as if it's trying to sign into a domain, which we don't have domains.
I can't seem to find anything relevent when searching...

There are a couple things you can try:
1.\ go to the apple server, sys prefs, sharing, selct file sharing and then select option. from there make sure the both check boxes are selected. then select done.
2.\ while you are there, in the shared folders section, selct the folder you would like to share (or add if its not) and make sure the user is in the users pane that you want to share the folder with.
3.\ restart your windows machine to make sure it forgets any passwords you may have put in.
4.\ if it still doesnt ask for a user account go to map network drive. and select the option to put another username and password in. for the user name user SERVERNAME\username - ensure the servername is in CAPITAL letter...
hope this helps...

VPN - Can't connect to server

Hello,
I have tried to read many of the existing posts about getting VPN's setup with OS X. Yet, I still am having trouble!!
I can establish a VPN tunnel either L2TP or PPTP and access the Server Admin settings via its application. So, I know that all of my VPN ports are open and working for VPN traffic.
What I can't do is connect to my server. It's my understanding and experience that once I have a VPN connection I should be able to access all services and machines as though I'm inside the network. I can access those services if I open the AFP port (548) for the "Any" group. But that defeats the purpose of having the VPN, since anyone could access the AFP protocol via our public IP.
Any thoughts??
Thanks,
Randy

Thanks for your reply. Sorry to have been unclear.
I am using NAT, public IP on En0 & private IP (192.168.2.x) on En1. AFP is not blocked on my LAN, 192.168.2-net, but is on the "Any" address group. If I allow AFP in the Any group then without a VPN tunnel the file server is accessible. Not good!
I read somewhere about the potential need to forward traffic from the ppp0 port to the LAN, but could find any settings that seemed to produce such an effect.
Since the VPN is assigning LAN IP addresses I should have LAN access to LAN resources, right?
Your last statement:
If your server is hanging with its ports in the public space then adjust the firewall rules to allow AFP connection from the local network only (e.g. 192.168.1.x or whatever internal subnet you're using). That way the extenal clients won't be able to get through the firewall, but the VPN clients will.
That is how I believe that I have thing setup, but the VPN clients can't connect to the server.
Thanks again for any insights...
Randy

Your biggest 'issue' right now is that your mysqld process is stopping on you -- making a connection impossible.
Why it's bombing might be in a log .. try in mysql/data/usr.local.err .. and fix why itsbombing.
To connect to it it'll be : mysql -u root -ppassword -D database

Forta I 8/Edition files work with CF SERVER 9?

I have the same problem, on my primary computer (Windows XP Pro , but the cause may be different from what 123polis123 had.
It seems that the installer installed the Enterprise Multiserver configuration instead of the built in server.
Note that I installed sucessfully on my laptop (Windows XP Home), using the same install parameters.
I chose the "Server configuration" which has a self contained server tunning a single instance with an embedded JEE server. After running though all the installation screens, before proceeding with the actual installation, the installer reported the following:
Installation Type:
Server configuration
Licensing:

Installation Directories:
Product: C:\ColdFusion9
Web root: C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot
Server Information:
Web Server: Built-in web server

Disk Space Information (for Installation Target):

Available: 7,387,262,976
The installation proceeded without a hitch, except at the end when the browser is supposed to come up with the admin configuration page it can't find the server. Port 8500 is open. I fiddled around awhile to see what the problem was. I installed on the other computer which went fine - the only difference is that the .NET version is 1.1.4322. I then re-installed, without uninstalling, on the problem computer. When the installer got to the screen where I select the server configuration, Enterprise Multiserver configuration was selected and it was not possible to select onything else. I uninstalled and re-installed. Same thing happened.
The processes running included: k2admin.exe, k2index.exe, k2server.exe and CFDotNetsvc.exe. The processes on the sucessful install included cfp.exe and cfupdate.exe.
Note that I had installed Eclipse and the CFEclipse plugin before installing CF9.

Lion Server: new user can't connect

This is a local ethernet network, Mac Mini running Lion Server 10.7.4.
I created 2 new users with Server app, same specs as already existing users, but can't connect to the server with the new id's. I just don't undrestand what I'm missing. The old id's all work perfectly when I try to connect.

Check your Services' ACL with Server Admin. It may happen that the new users are included in groups which are allowed for some services, but the new users are not included automatically in this group.

Can't connect to WRV200 config from Win 2k3 server

We have 2 servers running Win 2k3 Server, both of which I can not connect to the configuration on our WRV200 router. Here is our current setup.
DSL > WRV200 > 8 Port Linksys Gigabit switch > Servers and Other Gigabit switch to all workstations.
When I hook my laptop up to the 8 Port switch I can connect to the router's config without any issue. I can also connect without any issue via any of the workstations. I can not, however, connect with the browsers on the servers. They are both IE6 with all updates run.
I tried clearing out the ARP tables which didn't do anything.
When I try to connect to it I get to the login screen, put in the admin password, and then it gets stuck on loading SetupStatic.asp. After resetting to factory settings it is SetupDHCP.asp.

Do you have correct Gateway IP on Server(s)? Can you load other websites?
If not, review your NIC settings on your Server. The problem is not your Router.

Client can not connect to Server installed window server 2008 and using 8.8

HI all!
I have a problem when Client log in to server that installed window server 2008.It can not connect to this server even when restart and key in IP or Server name,...
I try disable Firewall of window 2008 in server machine and client can connect to server. But when i disable firewall, it's mean i can not use Remote desktop or terminal service..
Now, how i can do in order to solve this problem.
Thanks!

Hi,
Take a look at the admin guide (Page 75, 119, 159):

If you installed a firewall on the license service computer, make sure that the firewall is not set to port 30000; otherwise, the license service cannot work.
If you are using Port X, make sure that you open Port X and Port (X+1) in the firewall. For example, if you are using port 10000, make sure to also open port 10001.
The default communication port is 1143.
The default port of the SAP Business One license server is 30000 for license communication and 30001 for the license naming service
