Server / Localhost on a Mac ...confused!

I want to test locally on a Mac. I am using standard html5 and I have zero clue what to put in the web url space. On PC all I had to do was have it point to localhost and then the same folder as my files.
Nothing seems to be working - please help before I set this computer on fire ha

Use the very latest version of MAMP or XAMPP (Apache server).
XAMPP for Mac

MAMP for Mac

Also, your site files need to reside in the server's default htdocs folder for localhost to find them.
User/Applications/mamp/htdocs/yourSiteName/
or
User/Applications/xampp/htdocs/yourSiteName/
http://localhost/yourSiteName/

Lyfisgood... youre using windows right? If so you may want to
actually open a second thread... I saythis only as youll probably
get more of a response as there seem to be more peopel running it
on Win than OS X. But ill try and help as much as i can... ive
installed on XP before so maybe ill have something of value to
offer.
Do you have windows firewall or any other firewall running?
Are you sure its actually running on port 8500 as opposed to
8000,8100, 8001?

Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini?

Hey guys and girls...
Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini? If so how?

WHS is 64-bit. Genius are really not versed in Boot Camp or Windows, let alone anything not on the "approved" list of Windows versions.
Most of the problems are with burning ISO, or the SuperDrive. It should have seen the NTFS partition. Disk Utility is known to be trouble, burning it on your Mac Mine but iwth Windows 7....?
Seeing you have Windows 7, format the partition to NTFS 160GB you want and then exit and boot WHS installer.
Or run the install from Windows 7.
In past, WHS supported TimeMachine, streaming video, supported iTunes (that was broken/disabled it seems by Apple with 10.0), as well as even SuperDuper backups.
Main idea is to have some network attached drives.
Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra2 Review
Newegg - HP StorageWorks X310 Windows Home Server
I have both a ISO and Burned it to a dvd useing windows 7 built in ISO burning software, Its a 64 bit copy (got from microsoft download website from my dads microsoft account).
It is enouth for the OS but it runs slowish on the mac mini (latest core 2 duo 2.4ghz model) The Idea was to have it backup my pc and laptop to a usb drive and act as a media centre pc (connected to av receaver and tv and on a gigabit network with a 2TB nas)
Since it looks like this may not work, whats the best way to make it into a media centure? mac osx? windows 7? plex? whats best and good?
I'd avoid USB like the plague. Why not use your PC instead? If I was going to use a Mini for WHS, I'd just use the Mini solely for Windows and not have OS X (you can boot OS X off an external drive anyway).

Mac OSX 10.4 Server on a MacMini + Mac Mini Network render farm

Hi Guys,
I am working at a small vfx post house in Bangkok. We are looking to install some sort of server and network renderfarm.
There was talk of going Windoze based when I first arrived, so I am doing my best to steer them to Mac & OSX. (Most of the current workstations are MacPros)
For a budget solution I said it may be possible to run a OSX Server on a new Mac Mini, and also create a 5-10 machine Mac Mini renderfarm (for rendering 3d scenes from Maya, encoding with Compressor, and 2d scripts from Shake).
So my questions are:
1. WIll OSX Server work on a mac Mini?
2. Will the Mac Mini be able to handle it? It won't be a render box itself, more a machine to keep control of permissions on our central storage (stop people moving and deleting files and saving things in the incorrect place), and control the QMaster Adminstration.
3. Has anyone had any experience creating a renderfarm from a stack on Mac Minis?
4. If no one has any idea can they recommend a person/forum to ask?
Thankyou very much!

Is it possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server in a Virtual Machine software like Parallels

I am wondering if it is possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server as a VM as my main application uses Windows VisualBasic and Fox Pro and requires a Static IP to connect to it, My other offices connects to Windows Server via RDP.
Basically I am researching a Server for the same purpose and since Mac Mini and OsX both are robust in nature it can fit the bill if every thing work fine.
Thanks

From the Parallels website:
32-bit Operating Systems
Windows 8 with: Windows 8, 8.1 (when available)
Windows 7 SP1
Windows Vista SP0, SP1, SP2
Windows Server 2008 R2, SP2, SP1, SP0
64-bit Operating Systems
Windows 8
Windows 7 SP1
Windows Vista SP0, SP1, SP2
Windows Server 2012
Windows Server 2008 R2, SP2, SP1, SP0
I do suggest that you upgrade RAM to at least 8gig
if you haven't already.
FWIW, I currently use Win8/64 bit with Parallels on a 2011 Mini Server
using the windows environment for engineering applications and have
had no issues. I am running Mountain Lion but do not have the
Server app installed.

Files Transfer from Windows Server 2008 R2 on Mac

Hi,
How can I transfer files from "Windows Server 2008 R2" on Mac? as now I am using 2 App (Microsoft Remote Desktop & Fast Remote Desktop) which allowed me everything but not transfer files on Mac, so any other recommendation or salutation?
Thanks

Hi,
You need to configure folder redirection.
Folder redirection enables access local folders during the remote session. Click the + button at the bottom of the dialog and choose a folder you want to have
redirected.
Configure Folder Redirection:
1. Click the + button.
2. In the Add Local Folder window, enter the following information:
l
Name: Set a name for the folder to be available during the remote session.
l
Path: Select the path to the folder to be available during the remote session.
3. Click the close button to save the remote desktop.

Can Mac OS X Lion Server Installed on Non-Mac machines

Hello,
I have a server with Windows 2008 standard. I want to format the machine and install Mac OS X Lion. Will the Lion server work on the hardware whcih is a pentium 4 Processor?
Do I need to change the clients to Mac OS or let it remain as windows (XP/Vista). Can I smoothly operate the Service Client network in this way or change everything to Mac OS?
Thanks

No, it won't work. The clients can use Windows, but the server must be a Mac.
Kappy: Your statement doesn't apply to all Apple software; iTunes and Safari have official Windows versions, along with a few other Apple products.

Bind to Reports Server localhost failed

Hi:
I am using Oracle 10g(1.2.0.2) on winxp professional.
I successfully deployed my war using Oracle Enterprise Manager. but when i try to run the application on browser using link
http://your_computer_name:port/MyReportApp/JSPreportname.jsp?userid=user
ID/password@database_name
I get the following error
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server localhost failed
my oracle app server is on default port 80 and when i run http://localhost the application server default welcome page comes up
my report server is also running i use the following coomand on browser
http://localhost/MyReportApp/JSPreportname.jsp?userid=user
ID/password@database_name
and I am inserting the proper user id password and database name
i think i should be using the port No on which the report server is listening to if this is right can anybody help me where i can find this port No
regards

The error suggests that your report server name is taken as "localhost" which is strange.
Check the name of server in rwservlet.properties file in OH/reports/conf
also try to run this--
http://your_computer_name:port/reports/rwservlet/getserverinfo?
this should give the default server name which can be used for your jsp deployment.

SCVMM 2012: Unable to connect to the VMM management server localhost:8100

Hi everyone
I have difficulties connecting with the Admin UI to the SCVMM server running on the same machine. This is the error message I see:
Unable to connect to the VMM management server localhost. The Virtual Machine Manager service on that server did not respond.
Verify that Virtual Machine Manager has been installed on the server and that the Virtual Machine Manager service is running.
Then try to connect again. If the problem persists, restart the Virtual Machine Manager service.
ID: 1602
I checked that the service is running and checked with the Resource Monitor that vmmservice.exe is really listening on port 8100. The Resource Monitor also shows some traffic between itself, the service and the DC. But all traffic dies down after a few seconds,
then nothing happens for a minute, then I get the above error message. The only SCVMM related entry in the eventlog is this (was logged when I manually tried restarting the service):
Failed to stop service. System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Microsoft.VirtualManager.Engine.VirtualManagerService.OnStop()
at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.DeferredStop()
But I guess that entry is of no help. Other important things that might be relevant:
This installation worked fine three months ago. Since then only the automatic updates were installed.
DPM (the 2012 CTP for Win8) is installed on the same server.
After it didn't work I installed SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 (offered by Microsoft Update)
SCVMM is part of a small test installation (~10 VMs or so), no valuable data, so there's no risk when messing around
Control panel shows the version number 3.1.1042.0 for "Microsoft System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager".
Is there anything else I could try? How can SCVMM stop to work, all by itself? Leaves a sour taste...
Cheers,
Simon

When such odd behaviour occur, it is a good tip to start a VMM trace to see where things are actually going wrong. And suck files is interestin for MS support once the obvious things for errors, are eliminated out of the picture.
VMM has dependencies such as SQL, permissions and service accounts. All of these variables does
also have dependencies that should be verified. Verify that the account for the service does is not locked/expired pwd, that the SQL is up and running - and actually is working. There is a lot of logs to check in order to determine the root cause of
this behaviour.

Mail is no longer deleted on ISP's server once received via mac mail- why is this happening?

Why is mail no longer deleted on ISP's server once received via mac mail?
The box to delete message from ISP's server once it is downloaded is ticked in Mac Mail account's prefrences and this option in the past did delete it from the ISP's server. It no longer does this, it only moved the copy from the ISP's in box to the trash so now the recived message has to be manually removed from the ISP's trash.
Does Apple need to supply a patch to put this right?

Does Windows 2008 Server run ok under Mac Mini Bootcamp?

Does anyone have any experience of installing and running Windows 2008 Server on a Mac Mini (of which has either Mac OS or Mac OS Server installed), under Bootcamp?
I currently have an old Dell with Windows 2008 server which acts as my Domain Controller, Exchange Server for a small home-office network. It's due an upgrade as the hardware is so old (and noisy!) and like the idea of having a nice compact, quiet Mac Mini, but want to make sure it can carry out the same duties under bootcamp on Win2008?

Windows 2008 can be installed in Boot Camp. However I don't believe it is officially supported by Apple so there may or may not be issues with installing the Boot Camp Drivers (or future updates to the Boot Camp drivers.) Not something I'd be recommending for a "production" environment. If this is a test/dev system, then probably worth trying, depending on how critical your network uptime is.
Also, you didn't mention if your Dell came with Windows 2008 preinstalled, but if it did, then likely it has a "branded" version of Windows that won't activate correctly on non-Dell hardware. (If your Windows disks have "Dell" on them, they won't work with the Mac.) So you may need to purchase a retail or volume license copy of Windows 2008.
In general, for a server running as a DC & Exchange, you'd want RAID1 as a minimum so that would be the Mac Mini Server, not the "desktop" Mac Mini. Unless you have one lying around, you're looking at something around $1500-$2000 to start, depending on whether you can transfer your existing Windows 2008 & Exchange installations. (Another $500-$2000 depending on what vesions of Windows & Exchange.) And probably 8GB of RAM since Windows 2008 & Exchange on 4GB is pushing it. Considering the costs, I suggest you look at the Dell T110 series or the HP Proliant 110 series. Both lines are very quiet and are supported for Windows 2008 from the factory, including Windows Small Business Server, which includes Exchange. While not as small as a Mac Mini, they are mini towers and about the size of a typical PC desktop.
If you really wanted a small footprint, then HP has a "microserver" series. You'd probably need to call HP to get the build you want as the online ordering is limited for that model. From Dell, there is the Zino model desktop. Again, not supported for a "server", but you were going to consider a the non-server version of the Mac Mini, then the Zino has at least a chance of you reusing your existing versions of Windows if they're Dell branded, thus saving your something in the range of $500-$2000 for new software. (But I would NOT recommend a non-server chassis without RAID1 hard drives, so the Zino is not my choice. I just offer it as a possibility if you accept the risk of an unsupported installation, as would have been installing Windows 2008 in Boot Camp.)
So yes, it will work. But I wouldn't recommend it for a production environment, especailly if you have the "desktop" computer without RAID1.

Joining Win2K3 Server/AD to a Mac OS X Server OD Master

Has anyone tried this setup?
Basically, we'd like to set up Mac OS X Server 10.5 Leopard to be an Open Directory Master, iCal Server, and LDAP server to some services such as subversion authentication.
We also have a need to have a Windows 2003 Server running Active Directory for Sharepoint Server. I'm having problems trying to bind a Windows Server to an Open Directory Master (My DNS is set up along with the appropriate SRV records as documented by:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/interopmigration/linux/mvc/cfgbind.mspx ?mfr=true
I configured BIND manually because the OS X DNS Admin app doesn't seem to be able to set up SRV records properly nor have a way to enable secure dynamic updates".
Whenever I try to bind the Win2K3 Server to the Open Directory, it always fails. Does anyone know if it's possible to join a Win2K3 server to the Open Directory Master in a way that fools the Windows server into thinking the Mac is an AD server? One important note: I have NOT enabled Windows PDC on the Mac. which is based on NT and not AD.

Hello,
I'm sorry I don't have an answer to your post, but I just wanted to say I am trying to setup exactly the same thing.
If I manage to get it working, I'll post and let you know.
The one thing I can add is that when I was setting up a W2K3 server to use a linux based DNS server, I had to add "check-names warn;" to the Bind config file.
The problem is that the DNS names Microsoft try to register break certain naming standards, and I set it to give a warning instead of a fatal error.
I have no idea if that is relevant to your setup, but I know I needed to do it to get my Bind working with W2K3.

Can I install a version of snow leopard server on a newer Mac Mini model?

Hi-
I have Snow Leopard server running on a Mac Mini from 2010. I decided I really need some redundancy so want to get another and sync them in case of failure. Can I buy the latest Mac Mini model and install Snow Leopard server on it or will it not let me due to some firmware limitation? I've been able to do revert on other models and not others. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

****-So I have to find the latest Mac Mini that will run Snow Leopard Server? I refuse to upgrade to that crap they call server nowadays. It's Snow Leopard server till I move to Linux. Thing is, those Minis cost nearly as much now as they did when brand new. I feel like I'm getting ripped off. Oh well. Thanks for the quick answer guys!
