Server Admin Graphing No Longer Works in 10.4.6

Has anyone else noticed that the graphing functions no longer work in 10.4.6?
I have also noticed that the CPU % Usage in the System - Hardware displays 62% no matter that the system is idle. This only appears on my single processor G4 not my Dual G4 Xserve.

Ever since I have upgraded to Xserve 10.4.6 the graphing function does not work and shows 0% - pretty light load for a dual 867 MHz G4 and about 12 users at the time
It is my hope that Apple does fix the problem shortly - it's useful to see the load on the CPU and network. Over the last while I did notice that the CPU load was "creeping" up steadily when the "Server Admin" utility was left running. The graph did not creep up when "Server Admin" was terminated and a graph was plotted after a few days.

Server Admin Graphs

I'm not sure if this is the correct thread to post this issue in, but maybe someone out there could help me out. My graphs for overall CPU usage and Network Throughput in Server Admin have stopped functioning properly. The other night they started showing flat CPU performance at 75% and network performance at about 250 bytes/sec. Other tools (iStat Menus and iStat Server connected to my iPhone) showed correct information. Today however, the graphs have stopped showing any data at all. They both say "There is no data in the selected period". I noticed the odd behavior when my VPN stopped working intermittently. Any suggestions?

Hey Guys, i have the same problem.
Any help is apreciated!
this is something i got out of the error log, i cant figure it out how to solve this:
[Mon Nov 23 21:49:58 2009] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `myserver.example.com' does NOT match server name!?

Server Admin is no longer showing the IMAP connections

Hello,
Did someone get this issue ? On a new Xserve Intel, I installed the updates for amavisd and spamassassin (thanks pterobyte website . All was working correctly, but I noticed that now I've 0 connections in my Server Admin "Connections" monitor. But in the overview I have the correct number of current sessions,...
I noticed too, that if I go the webmail and I log in, the status is correct in "Connection"'s Server Admin.
An idea what ?
Regards,
Florent

I would think the problem was there before or you installed something else as well.
spamassassin and amavisd are unrelated to Cyrus (IMAP) or Server Admin.
Also, a webmail connection is an IMAP connection like any other. If webmail shows, other IMAP client's connections should show as well.
Check mailaccess.log for clues.
Issuing:
ps -U cyrusimap
will list all connections

Graphs no longer working in PowerView

Hello,
I have on tricky problem here in my company. As demanded by other areas, we were put in charge of creating a lot of power view applications. Many of them contain graphics showing basically financial data.
By the end of December 2014, the applications started to behave weirdly. When we hove the mouse over the graphics, we get an "UNEXPECTED ERROR" and all the power views become white, with no content.
After weeks of troubleshooting we still cannot find a root cause for it.
The error happens in Windows 7, Windows 8 and 8.1 computers. We already tried to reinstall MS Office365 which always comes in build 15.0.4675 for us , but the error persists.
Microsoft Support just tried to repair office in one of our computers but to no avail.
I don't know anything else to do so I am asking for your kind help.
Thanks a lot.

Server Admin's proxy configuration... whacked? (Doesn't seem to work)

I just upgraded to Apache2 so that I could, sensibly, use the Server Admin app to manage all my web sites. Previously, my various httpd conf files were too complicated and I had resorted to hand coding them.
The good news is Server Admin and Apache2 are much closer to functional.
One bit of bad news: I can't get the reverse proxies to work consistently. Once set up, I get the most peculiar mix of success and failure -- almost at random. For example, some URIs load; others don't; sometimes a page loads, but it's style sheet doesn't.
What I want is simply this:
*/confluence (proxy to) localhost:8081/confluence
Using hand-edited config files, I'd usually do something along these lines (and this works great, by the way, if I stick it into 0000any_80www.mydomain.com.conf:
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPassReverse /confluence http://localhost:8081/confluence
ProxyPass /confluence http://localhost:8081/confluence
So, off to Server Admin to make this work. I tried checking "Enable Reverse Proxy" and specifying a Proxy Path of "/confluence" and a Worker URL of http://localhost:8081/confluence. This ended up created the following entry in my 0000_...conf file:
<IfModule modproxybalancer.c>
ProxyPass /confluence balancer://balancer-group/
ProxyPassReverse /confluence balancer://balancer-group/
<Proxy "balancer://balancer-group">
BalancerMember http://localhost:8081/confluence
</Proxy>
</IfModule>
I wasn't able to figure out what a Sticky Session Identifier, Route or Load Factor would be used for... so I left those blank. Perhaps that's why it's not working... sure would be nice if there was some help in Server Admin...
Hm. Anyhow, Ok, looks alright. I'm not totally sure about the balancer bits (like why they are there), but I don't see why it wouldn't work. But... IT DOES NOT. I get totally inconsistent results. Some pages load, some don't. Sometimes I get some page assets, while others don't come through. Bah. However, if I get rid of the above, and simply put this in:
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPassReverse /confluence http://localhost:8081/confluence
ProxyPass /confluence http://localhost:8081/confluence
It works great. Only problem is, anytime I edit a server configuration, Server Admin goes and deletes those lines! I think I've found a way around it though. I put the above lines into a "0000.proxy" file (in /etc/apache2/sites/0000.proxy) and now I've added this line:
Include "/etc/apache2/sites/0000.proxy"
At the bottom of my 0000_...conf file. So far, Server Admin hasn't deleted that line... and it seems to be working.
BUT, I'd just LOVE it if someone could tell me how to make this work without hacking around in the command line! Very annoying -- and of course, my proxies are showing up in Server Admin, and I really wish that would work.

Hi there
For the benefit of anyone looking at this thread, what is meant here is that if you choose to open the help for RoboHelp, you have an abiliity to add a comment. That comment may be kept private or shared with others. If you elect to share it with others, it is generally added as a comment into the pages that provide the help. If approved, Adobe may amend the help topic to reflect the new information.
@Jared - Was that information missing in your file? I thought when you elected to use this file that it was automatically populated with all available settings. And unfortunately (IMNSHO) the settings don't immediately reflect the settings in the dialog. (I think they should, as a starting point. At least, that's the behavior *I* expected the first time I played with the feature. I was admittedly taken aback when it didn't work that way.)
Assuming the setting was missing, how did you manage to sort what setting should be added?
Cheers... Rick

Testing server no longer working

Hi All,
I recently upgraded the hard drive in my macbook pro and used time machine to copy all data to the new drive. Now my testing server (MAMP) is no longer working. When I point my browser to /localhost/ the index page comes up but none of the dynamic pages work. Dreamweaver is no longer connecting to the SQL database, even when trying to create a new connection (it only looks to 127.0.0.1). I also deleted and recreated the testing server in the Dreaweaver preferences and uninstalled/ reinstalled MAMP.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated!

Server Admin unable to connect to local server

Hey all. I've been using SLS to serve a Promise RAID via NFS for a few weeks now, and it's been stable and smooth. I've had Server Admin open all that time so I could watch the network usage graph via ARD. Today, Server Admin can no longer connect to the local server. I've tried stopping and starting com.apple.servermgrd but it still cannot connect. Is my only option at this point a reboot?
Has anyone else experienced this on SLS? I've always had stability issues with Server Admin in the past, but I'd been told the issues had been addressed in SLS. Could someone verify this? Thanks

I should have been more clear. This is on an 8-core Intel XServe.
I was able to use Server Admin locally on the machine for weeks. Now I can't. Nothing has changed or been altered on the machine during that period.
I can not connect to the server via Server Admin remotely or locally. I can connect via SSH, ARD, etc. and the system is still serving NFS just fine, so it's just the process that handles communication with Server Admin that is non responsive.
Something interesting from the syslog:
qt1 servermgrd[44258]: servermgr_accounts: noteDirectorySearchPolicyChanged (reopening nodes)
qt1 servermgrd[44258]: -[AccountsRequestHandler(AccountsOpenDirectoryHelpers) openLocalLDAPNodeIfNeeded]: dsLocalLDAP = (null) , error = Error Domain=com.apple.OpenDirectory Code=2000 UserInfo=0x1066a16c0 "Unable to open Directory node with name /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1."
qt1 DirectoryService[31]: DirectoryService has 42000 internal references open (due to clients), warning limit is 2000.
These lines repeated apprx. every 30 secs until I bounced the servermgrd. Now, I see that entry whenever I try to connect to the local server via Server Admin.
Now, this system is not a LDAP server, but I understand OSXS still uses LDAP for local directory info... I've tried restarting the related directory services as well, but still no joy.
It looks like my only recourse is a reboot, which is really not a great option for a dedicated file server. Am I the only one who has ever encountered this issue of Server Admin eventually losing contact with a server?

Upgraded from RH9 to RH11 Search No Longer Working

Hello,
Situation:
               Upgraded several projects from RH9 to RH11
               WebHelp Pro Output
               RoboHelp Server 9
Search no longer works for upgraded RH11 projects. No matter the topic or keyword entered, results are zero.
Search works on RH9 projects.
I looked through forums for similar situations, I didn't find any for RH11. Some solutions for RH10 said to verify the whfts file included all the xml packages and the RH11 output does. Others had to do with settings in WebHelp but couldn't find anything specific to WebHelp Pro.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Julie

Update...it seems the fact that I am publishing to RH Server 9 is the problem. I received word from Adobe tech support:
"We have fixed that issue and soon we are releasing the patch for RHS 9 to support RH 11."
The expected patch is expected to be delivered by end of March 2014.
Thanks for all who helped.

Server Admin keeps dispaying error "The service has encountered an error."

All the services in the Server Admin function are continuously displaying the following error message:
The service has encountered an error.
Try to refresh the view (servername.local/servicename). (kNetworkError)
I press OK and the message disappears, but I have to go through every service to remove this message, and then it just reappears a little later. But it doesn't seem to affect the operation of the server, but I'm concerned that this is disguising a future problem and would like to get rid of this occurring. I have searched the forums and found nobody to help me. Please can anyone help me?

Thanks guys, it seems this is a feature of the operating system and Apple have not bothered to find a solution, maybe because you're not supposed to leave the server admin open for long periods of time. A little disappointing, however it does not seems to be causing any other problems with the server as it is running perfectly well.
Thanks to everyone for your input, I'll close this issue now, and as Jamie Curmi stated this may be resolved in the next release of the OS.

Safari and Server Admin slow to launch on a Network Home Directory

I have an issue with Safari and Server Admin that started two days ago. When you attempt to launch Safari or Server Admin while logged into a Network Home Directory on an Intel Mac it will bounce about 10 times, stop bouncing, and then about a minute later launch and act normal. If you quit and reopen Safari you have to wait again. Server Admin exhibits similar behavior, although the delay is longer and there are long pauses while using the program. The network home folder is on an afp share on an Intel XServe w/ 10.5.5 and 4gb of ram.
Troubleshooting steps already done:
1. Same intel mac with a local user, Safari and Server Admin launches normally.
2. Same intel mac with a portable home directory user, Safari and Server Admin launches normally.
3. Same intel mac with a different network home directory user, Safari and Server Admin have the long delay.
4. Different intel mac with a network home directory user, Safari and Server Admin have the long delay.
5. Different intel mac with a local user, Safari and Server Admin launches normally.
6. Different intel mac with a portable home directory user, Safari and Server Admin launches normally.
7. PPC mac with same network home directory user, Safari and Server Admin launches normally.
8. Checked forward and reverse DNS lookups for the home directory servers.
9. Checked entire DNS zone for forward and reverse lookups.
10. These exact same symptoms began occurring the same day at another site I manage with a separate DNS and Open Directory structure in another city.
11. All other programs appear to behave normally as far as I've been able to tell.
I have the feeling that something strange is going on with DNS and Server Admin and Safari are trying to resolve something, time out, then try to act normally. I don't know why it would just affect intel macs. In addition, there were no setting changes or DNS alterations that happened that I am aware of. These symptoms are also happening at another site that I manage with a completely separate DNS and Open Directory structure. I'm puzzled, any help would be appreciated.

Upgraded to 10.5.6 and the issue disappeared. I don't know what what wrong, but I think it was DNS related...

Server Monitor no longer working between 10.5 client & 10.4 servers?

I've been running Server Monitor 1.5f6 under 10.4.x on my desktop machine to monitor a dozen or so Apple Xserves running 10.4.x Server for ages (3 years?). Upon upgrading my desktop machine to Leopard the Server Monitor application no longer connects to any of the remote Xserves. They simply state "waiting for connection". I tried every "expert" diagnostic I can think of including deleting prefs, caches, adding & removing server entries, firewall off (on the server), etc. I also observed that upon quitting the application, it often produces a crash message instead.
So I tried what I thought would be the obvious fix of upgrading to the latest Server Admin Tools suite (downloaded from Apple, also v10.5) on my desktop which includes Server Monitor 1.5.1-- only to discover it does not work either.
If I boot back into 10.4, everything works again so I am 110% sure the problem is related to Leopard. The 10.4 servers can also monitor each other fine (as a test).
Now I've seen some similar reports in this forum about problems with the admin tools after 10.4.11 and such. But none of them clearly described IMHO the exact problem of using Server Monitor under a remote Leopard client to monitor a 10.4 Xserve.
Can anyone else confirm this problem? Am I missing something?

Wow, thanks for the article reference. Some times no amount of searching will uncover the hidden treasures.
So... not to be too dramatic but... what is Apple trying to do? PUNISH users that have not purchased any copies of 10.5 server? Why wouldn't they release a stand-alone Server Admin Tools installer like they have in the past? (They "forgot"???)
As it appears someone attempted the package extract approach (and it didn't work), can someone offer another solution?
p.s. Where is that number for my Apple rep... >:-( UNHAPPY!

Problem in Server Admin: cpu and network graphs not updated or empty after lion server update

Hi!
Just for archive purpouses because i've already solved that!
After upgrading from OSX Server 10.7 to 10.7.1 my CPU and Network graphs in Server Admin stop being updated.
In 24h the graphs where blank (disk usage graph seem to keep working).
First i read about "what is the application responsible for this"; it's called ServerPerfLog, and you can see if it's running that way:
     # ps ax | grep ServerPerf
If you don't see anything else than your own "grep", that means that no application is running, no data is being collected.
     41324 s000 R+     0:00.00 grep ServerPerf
A positive response for this (meaning that the service is running) should be something like that (2 lines: your grep and the service app itself):
     94   ?? Ss     0:04.71 /usr/libexec/ServerPerfLog
     41344 s000 R+     0:00.00 grep ServerPerf
Later i read about "where is the config file for this service app", and you can find it here:
     /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
If you edit this config file, check that the "Key > Disabled" is set to "False"
     # vi /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
        <key>Disabled</key>
        <false/>
After that, i try to launch the service that updates this graphs again, by hand, performing the following command:
     # sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
And the service got launch!!! yeeeepa!! i see a first update in graph data.
Also the "ps" query reply that the service was running!!
The bad things came a day after, when i saw that the graphs stop again....
I check if the service was running executing again the "ps" command, and that show me that the service was stopped again; no ServerPerfLog process was running.
But r e l a x, because the process hang because of a permissions problem.
You should know, I run "Repair permissions" within "Disk Utilities" over the running system disk, eeee... voila!
I hope that helps someone to get his fancy graphs back!
Regards,
t

You are God like!!! Wooo hooo! Thanks bud!

Graphs in Server Admin isn't updating any more.

Hi all,
The graphs in Server Admin doesn't show correctly. For any given time range, it's always 31% for CPU utilization and 28KB/s for network. However it's definitely not the case when comparing to Activity Monitor.
The graphs for web showing correctly for both throughput and requests.
Not sure if anyone had this problem before. I googled around and found no similar issues.
It's not a big deal but very annoying as I can't see server performance history any more.
Please help.

According to the manual page on the OS X Developer Library, fsck_cs has a bug:
fsck_cs does not perform an exhaustive validation, nor is it able to fix many of the inconsistencies that it does detect.
Somehow my MacBook Air didn't complete some I/O transactions to the SSD and therefore the physical volume of the core storage has "failed". Fixing inconsistencies didn't worked because of the bug mentioned above. Repartitioning disk0s2 and reinstalling the OS solved the problem.
@Link Davis: The SSD has not failed, if so the SMART status would have shown that. That's the most shared oppinion on many Apple related forums. I think you mean the disk, not the drive.
I'll not encrypt the SSD of the MacBook Air with the FileVault 2 until the bug is going to be fixed!

Server Admin 10.6 Tools Install doesn't work

Hi All,
I've installed SL 10.6 on my laptop, Servers are still on 10.5.8, so I had to Download and install the 10.6 Server Admin Tools. Trouble is Server Admin and WorkGroup Manager fail to start, crashing with the following:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PlatformHardwareManagement.framework/Versions /A/PlatformHardwareManagement
Referenced from: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ServerFoundation.framework/Versions/A/ServerF oundation
Reason: image not found
Looks like the install fails even though it reports a successful install. Have tried re-installing same download, with same results.
Any ideas (I can't manage the servers right now)???

We're left out in the cold, cold snow on this. We can no longer use Server Admin 10.5, or any other flavor outside of 10.6 server admin tools.
This means we can only administer 10.5.8 servers, and 10.6 servers.
10.6 installer works fine for me, but it can only administer specifically 10.6 and 10.5.8 servers.
Anyone that's a sys-admin administers multiple servers, this would be 10.4.x servers (Hopefully 10.4.11) 10.5.x servers (Sometimes if it's a "Critical" server and it's not broke, you don't mess with it. meaning leaving it at 10.5.4 because two other server updates to 10.5.5 you recently completed failed miserably) . You get the picture. Previously I kept multiple versions of Server Admin on my machine, 10.3, 10.5.3, 10.5.5, for compatibility, so now I'm dead in the water. And apple solution appears to be have multiple computer hanging around to complete this task. I'm not buying in.
they either now need to allow virtualization of 10.5 client, or get their act together with software compatibility.
Extremely disappointed, and will have to be going back to 10.5. Wonder if I can get a refund on my purchase.

Remote Server Admin not working from outside of network for 1 server

Our company recently changed ISPs and I had to change our two 10.4 server's IP addresses. We have a mail server (intel xserve) and a file/web server (quicksilver g4). Both servers have two network cards in them. The problem is two-fold:
1- I can successfully manage the Xserve machine locally on our network and from my home. However, I can only manage the Quicksilver g4 server locally. Any kind of external access is not even acknowledged.
2- I'm not sure if I missed any steps when changing IP addresses for these server-based computers. Also, I'm not sure if I correctly set our dns names to the correct IP address.
For some background, this is the exact IP update process I used for each server:
Quicksilver G4 (file/web server) - Installed network card #2 and configured it with the new Public IP in the "System Preferences/Network" panel. In Server Admin I set our website to use the new public IP address. (network card #2 has no firewall device in between it and the internet.)
Then, I configured the default network card #1 to a static, yet private IP address that's behind our DLink firewall device with the rest of our network.
Intel Xserve (e-mail server) - Network card #1 was the only one setup before our network change. It had a static, public IP address. When we changed ISPs, I configured network card #2 to the new static, public IP address supplied to us by the new ISP in the "System Preferences/Network" panel. This new IP address is where all email traffic currently gets pointed to. (All mail is successfully sent and delivered.) Until our former ISP gets shutdown, I still have network card #1 configured to the older static public IP address. After the old ISP is shut off, I plan on changing network card #1 to a static, private address.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

What should I check in AD? I am by no means an expert with AD.
Yes, I am using the same client OS.
I am talking about RDP over the internet, like from home to the office. We have a static IP assigned to the router from ISP. A static internal IP assigned to the server on the LAN. And the router port forwards 3389 to the assigned IP.
It was working fine before we reinstalled Server 2012. These are the steps I took when reinstalling:
1. format drive and install OS
2. rename the server
3. install SQL server
4. Install TFS and SharePoint
5. Add Active Directory role and promote to Domain Controller
6. Add domain users
7. Enable remote access on the server and add users to remote access list
