Server Migration failed to migrate web server virtual hosts

I just migrated from an my Mac OS X Server 10.4 to a brand new 10.6 machine. It seems to have copied all my files but failed to bring across the extensive list of virtual hosts I was serving. Entering them in one by one is going to take a while, so does anyone know how to pull them across? I have the old server attached in target mode, but not sure where apache keeps the configuration file for that.

After some more digging, it appeared that migration assistant just completely failed to set up the Open Directory on the new server. Fortunately, I managed to get the old drive cloned to an ATA drive, which I used to boot an ancient G4 tower, from whence I was able to do an Open Directory export and import into the new server.
I seem to be having the same inability to Kerberize the Open Directory that a lot of other people seem to have, but I don't actually need that feature, so it's not a big deal.

2k12 server VPN fails after migration

I migrated my DC to another server using VMware ESXi 5.5 to do maintenance on the old server, so this new server is only temporary. The issue I'm having after using the VMware converter standalone (I've also used Veeam) is the VPN - Routing
and Remote Access no longer will work. When I try connecting through the VPN it gets to the points to verifying username and password, but errors out and I get an error 628.
What would cause the VPN no longer to work and what logs should I look at? I did read that error 628 is a certificate issue, but I checked the certificate and it matches and isn't expired. I have also tried reconfiguring and uninstalling and reinstalling RRAS,
but the only difference is under RRAS > IPv4 > General > I now see Ethernet being the only thing new, but when I connect I get the same error 628.
What should I do?

Hi,
Error 628 means that the port was disconnected. This error may occur in a lot of cases.
To find the reason why the connection is disconnected, please check the event of the
RemoteAccess in the server.
Besides, what's type you configured on the RRAS to assign the IP address to remote client. Please make sure that there is valid IP address in the address pool. If the RRAS client can't assgin the address to the client, the connection will be terminated.
Best Regards.

Embedded font errors after migrating pdfs to new web server

Hi All,
After hundreds of working pdfs were moved to new web server, they produce variations of the "cannot extract the embedded font" (name of font) "some characters may not display or print correctly" error. The first page loads perfectly and the rest never load. All these files open fine when I open local copies in Reader (9.1.3) and Professional (7.1.0).They also open fine when moved to another server. When I delete copies on the server and re-upload using the working copies, the errors persist. Doesn't make sense. I also occasionally get the error "there were problems reading this document (14)".
I was told by the IT department that a possible cause was that the new server environment used fonts installed on the server rather than the local machine to display pdfs. This doesn't make sense to me. I've researched these errors and haven't found anything applicable or that has worked. Any suggestions? Has anyone else expeienced this?
The server is IIS and is running ASP.net. The IT dudes are saying they need to install all the refferenced fonts on the web server but due to the expense of this, they can't.This will nessecitate a really bizzarre and Rube Goldbergesque workaround (that I'm not even going to try to explain here) that I'd really like to avoid. Any suggestions? Are there any Acrobat settings that need to be twekaed?

Hi,
I read the following on another discussion in this forum:
it appears that with the shortkey ctrl+shift+Y you can force the pc to work around the system fonts
Maybe that helps.

Disabling Weblogic's http server port - Using an external web server

Hi,
We are using Weblogic 8.1 as application server and IWS as web server. We have
siteminder web agent configured on the web server for implementing authentication
and authorization.
All our requests first go to the web server which redirects them to the application
server.
Since Weblogic itself has a http listen port, user can still send requests directly
to the application server(which does not have any siteminder configuration on
it). Is it possible to ensure that all http requests made directly to the application
server are not processed so that the user is forced to hit the web server first.
Thanks,
Akash

When you say redirect, do you mean you use an HTTP redirect to send it to your
WLS servers URL? Or do you mean you proxy the requests from the webserver to
the WLS instance? In the former case, you must expose WLS's HTTP server to the
clients in order to redirect them to the address and you will not be able to
stop them from going directly there. In the case of the latter, you can put
your WLS instance behind the firewall so external users can't get to it. If you
also need to protect it from internal users you should probably not use
siteminder as your authentication mechanism. You may be able to configure
siteminder so that it has to authenticate itself to send requests to weblogic
and then protect all weblogic resources with that role requirement.

Re: Built-In Web Server Configuration vs Third-Party Web Server?

Hi Guys,
I am new to Coldfusion and I plan on setting it up within a Windows based environment for development purposes, I will eventually upload my files to a shared hosting service..
Could I get a pros vs cons comparison of configuring Coldfusion using the Built-In Web Server vs a Third-Party Webserver such as Apache?
My initial feeling is if I could keep the installation simple by using the self contained Built-In Web Server then why wouldn't I do that? I'm guessing there must be more to it. Please explain!
Thanks in advance!

The built-in web server is sufficient for local CF development. It's what I use nowadays.
If you have web server-specific implementation details as part of your application, like URL rewriting, you'll want to use whatever web server will be used in production.

Web sharing - virtual hosts and CGI

This topic might be a bit advanced for this forum, I'm not sure. But here goes.
I'm trying to set up my laptop to act like a web server so that I can do test development on it. I have two web sites, and have successfully created virtual hosts for each of them.
The part that I'm struggling with now is enabling CGIs, as I want to learn to write CGIs in Perl. I can't seem to find any site that discusses how this is done in Leopard. One said something like "just put the CGIs into /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables and it'll work", but of course, since I've got virtual hosts defined, it seems that anything addressed to "localhost" defaults to the first virtual host and thus there is no way to refer to a CGI placed in that location. Besides which, I'd like to know how to enable CGIs placed in a folder on each of my virtual sites, so that I could test them in place.
Any ideas?

One said something like "just put the CGIs into /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables and it'll work", but of course, since I've got virtual hosts defined, it seems that anything addressed to "localhost" defaults to the first virtual host and thus there is no way to refer to a CGI placed in that location.
That is an incorrect assumption.
By default, Apache is configured to recognize any URI that begins with /cgi-bin and serve that request via a CGI script in /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables
This is true even though each site's DocumentRoot is set somewhere else on the file system (that's by design since it makes it harder for a remote attacker to affect your CGIs)
Since it does not matter which site the request was on, any /cgi-bin request would be served from there, so:
http://www.domain1.com/cgi-bin/some.cgi
http://www.domains2.net/cgi-bin/other.cgi
would both be served from /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables even though they are for two different virtual hosts.
Now, of course, if you want each site to be separate and have its own set of CGIs (maybe some.cgi for domain1 does something different from some.cgi on domain2) then this approach causes problems. For this you will need to edit each site to have its own cgi-bin directory.
Unfortunately (although I haven't tested it) I think Matt's solution won't work because Apache is going to catch all /cgi-bin/ requests and serve them from /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables, never getting to the cgi-bin directory within each site's documentroot.
To set site-specific CGI directories you need to add a ScriptAlias command to each site's .conf, such as:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /path/to/site/cgi-bin/
This tells apache that any request for /cgi-bin/* should be served from /path/to/site/cgi-bin
Ideally the path should be outside of the site's normal document root, but it can be inside if you really want.

Setting up multiple web sites (virtual hosting).

Dear members:
I am considering OS X Server for a personal project and would like some advice to help me decided what route to take.
My computer will soon be turned into a server hosting my web sites and some other services at my home office. I am thinking about OS X Server as I have done some research and found OS X to require quite a bit of work so that it can do virtual hosting.
How simple is it to configure virtual hosting in OS X Server ? I am considering the latest Leopard version in case it matters. I am not experienced and wish to employ an application that will simplify this process.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thank you,
Joseph Chamberlain

You could create local PAC file <http://findproxyforurl.com/pac_file_examples.html> where you can return multiple PROXY servers. You would create text file with your PAC script in it. Then specify System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> Proxy -> Automatic Proxy Configuration, and click "Choose File".
If you choose to take BDAqua's advice and create multiple Network Locations, you can then use either
/usr/sbin/networksetup -switchtolocation "MyCompanysProxy1"
/usr/sbin/networksetup -switchtolocation "MyCompanysProxy2"
/usr/sbin/networksetup -switchtolocation "MyCompanysProxy3"
or
/usr/sbin/scselect "MyCompanysProxy1"
/usr/sbin/scselect "MyCompanysProxy2"
/usr/sbin/scselect "MyCompanysProxy3"
you can put them into a script of your choosing. Shell script, or Automator Run Shell Scirpt, or Applescirpt do shell script (or Perl, Python, Ruby, etc...)

Email server problem - failed to connect to server

Since Friday 27th August I've been having trouble connecting to the email server for my BT Yahoo account. It simply can't find the server, even though none of the account settings have changed and it has worked fine for years. Weirdly, sometimes it works and emails come through (so the settings are obviously fine) but then it will stop working for no apparent reason. I use Thunderbird as my email client, but I tested the account in Outlook Express and it gives the same error. The account works fine over webmail, and through my iPhone, however.
It seems like this is a DNS error rather than software related - is there anything BT-related that could be causing this, or any simple fixes? I've tried rebooting the HomeHub but that doesn't seem to have made a difference. I work from home, so this is a really annoying problem.

Interesting - we have exactly the same problem. Haven't been able to download for days. This has happened with two different computers with different anti-virus systems - so one assumes it's not suddenly that. I can access my e-mail online and reply (having to bcc myself, so when it does eventually work I have copies on my outlook express. It was working perfectly one night and the next morning just stopped - nothing happened in between.
I have tried to find out what the error number means, but no-one - not even BT's Help section - seem to have the solution. Have you ever seen the Eddie Izzard sketch on YouTube? This is definately one of those moments!
If you find a solution - would really appreciate you posting it on here, so I can fix mine. Will do the same for youi.
Hi.
This sort of problem is hard to determine. It could be a few things, including a corruption of the mail account (which can last for a short time or a number of days), it could be a local problem - which you've ruled out by the different computer check, or perhaps a "stuck" email - say one which is spam/virus attached and the online checking systems failing to pass through it, or possibly a stale IP address.
The latter 2 are easy to check, the first via webmail and see if there is anything near the "top" of the list that may cause a problem, moving to a new folder, and try again. The last can be tried by power cycling the router to get a new IP address. Disconnect the broadband and router for say 15 minutes and then reconnect to try again.
If there was a major server problem, there would be lots more complaints.

Problem to install my web server application on Oracle-Apache web server

I've developed my web site using Sun one studio 4 update 1 in according with the servlet engine version 2.3 (Tomcat 401).
After the compilation I've try to install my site on Oracle-Apache 9i which use the servlet engine version 2.0.
My problem concern that there's an complilation error about the server engine version. How I can update my sun One Studio Tomcat with the servlet engine version 2.0 and where I can find this servlet engine version to tomcat module?
Many thanks

You really need to upgrade your Oracle application server. Oracle 9iAS release 2 v903 is fully J2EE1.3 compliant and won't give you such problems.
For now, change your session.getAttribute/session.setAttribute calls to session.getValue/session.putValue, which is the deprecated previous api.

Leopard Server Admin Fails "there is no server available"

My Leopard Server has been running fine for months, uprgraded to 10.5.6 without difficulty a few weeks ago. Today, the Server Admin application is throwing up an error "there is no server available at the address you entered", with a box to delete it or save it.
Huh?
The server seems to be still running fine - mail continues to be delivered.
I note that this error has been reported before here and elsewhere, but there doesn't seem to be any comprehensive solution.
I would appreciate any help.

Hi
For the lack of any further information it's difficult to say? It could be anything or nothing at all? Have you tried a restart? Sometimes you'll see this error message if there's a problem with your keychains? You're more likely to see it if there is a problem with your DNS Service. Although not definitive does Workgroup Manager have a problem? Can you connect to the Server using Server Admin remotely?
You should be able to remove the server from the list and re-add it. You can use its .local name, its loopback address, its IP address or its FQDN. Whichever one its having a problem with use one of the other methods instead. Any or all of them should work.
To remove keychains you could use Keychain Access. Keychain Access > Edit > Keychain List. Select the ones you want and click the 'minus' symbol. I tend to not bother and remove them from /User/Home/Library/Keychains as well as /Library/Keychains followed by a restart. You can also 'reset' how Server Admin presents its interface on launch by removing its .plist from /Users/Home/Library/Preferences. Quit out if it first. Take the com.apple.ServerAdmin.plist to the trash, empty it and re-launch Server Admin. You might have to restart the server. There's a similar .plist for Workgroup Manager.
If you can't connect at all then you are probably looking at a problem with DNS Services. Can the server resolve itself to itself? Issuing host or nslookup for its fully qualified domain name followed by its IP Address should present a clearer picture. You could also issue:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
As this checks the validity of the Server's DNS. If it returns "DNS hostname is unavailable, please run the repair tool" then consult changeip's manual page. If it returns "the names match, there is nothing to change" then start looking at the physical structure of the network itself. An intermittent fault with the patch cable perhaps or Switch port?

Server 2012 r2 live migration fails with hardware error

Hello all, we just upgraded one of our hyper v hosts from server 2012 to server 2012 r2; previously we had live replication setup between it and another box on the network which was also running server 2012. After installing server 2012 r2 when a live migration
is attempted we get the message:
"The virtual machine cannot be moved to the destination computer. The hardware on the destination computer is not compatible with the hardware requirements of this virtual machine. Virtual machine migration failed at migration source."
The servers in question are both dell, currently we have a poweredge r910 running server 2012 and a poweredge r900 running server 2012 r2. The section under processor for "migrate to a physical computer using a different processor" is already checked
and this same vm was successfully being live replicated before the upgrade to server 2012 r2. What would have changed around hardware requirements?
We are migrating from server 2012 on the poweredge r910 to server 2012 r2 on the poweredge r900. Also When I say this was an upgrade, we did a full re install and wiped out the installation of server 2012 and installed server 2012 r2, this was not an upgrade
installation.

The only cause I’ve seen so far is virtual switches being named differently. I do remember that one of our VMs didn’t move, but we simply bypassed this problem, using one-time backup (VeeamZIP, more specifically).
If it’s one-time operation you can use the same procedure for the VMs in question -> backup and restore them at new server.
Kind regards, Leonardo.

Accessing portal server with virtual host via web dispatcher

Hi,
I have portal installed at http://hostname.com:50000. A web dispatcher is installed in front of it which uses port number 80 and redirects to http://hosname.com:50000.
so when i say http://hostname, my web dispatcher redirects to http://hostname.com:50000/ from where i can access my portal.
now I want to create an alias for my hostname, say when user types http://mydev, it should redirect to http://hostname.company.com thru webdispatcher.
so i created virtual host for my portal server . how to use this in my virtual hosts in my webdispatcher.
I have already gone throug this..
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/fe/cda776f2f64d5287c614b2f715c25f/frameset.htm
would be great if some one can help me in this regard.
Thank you
P.S: I dont want to create a DNS alias with name mydev, then i think virtual host concept doesnt make sense, atleast in java engines..which has different concept in SAP systems.

HI Jacob,
Thank you for the reply.. I am little bit confused.could you please clarify the followint to me.
My requirement is when user types "http://epdev", it should redirect to http://hostname.company.com:50000
1. To do that, according to what you said, I will create a DNS alias epdev to the IP address where my portal is hosted. so when the user types http://epdev, I have set up a parameter in web dispatcher profile to redirect to http://hostname.company.com:50000/.. so my requirement is fulfilled now..I hope this the correct proc for what I intended to achieve. am I right?
2. As said above, I am using web dispatcher only for redirection to a fully qualified name, as portal requires as fully qualified domain name. Is there a possibility other than web dispatcher for redirection.
3. if the above procedure works, I got a question like..what is the use of "virtual hosts".
How is it different from creating for instance, creating as many DNS aliases to IP address.
Although, it was explained at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/0b/fbf5a47928f84e8d0beba8371508e6/frameset.htm
I didnt clearly understand it.
I would really appreciate, if you could clarify these to me.
Thank you

Connecting to Oracle 9i with Sun One Web Server 6.1 SP4

I have an application that connects to an Oracle 9i database. When I run iPlanet 4.1, I am able to login to the application and run it. Since I have migrated to Sun One Web Server 6.1 SP4, I have not been able to login. Through some built in error logging, I have been able to determine that my user validation routine is receiving a Null pointer when it trys to connect to the database. I have also determined that my login servlet is executing properly. When I receive the Null pointer error, I am redirected to a failed login page, which is what is supposed to happen in such a case. I believe that I do not have the web server configured properly to connect to the database and I am not sure how to do it! Below is an excerpt from my code where the database connection occurs and the exception is detected. Any help would be appreciated!
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
oracleConnect = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + chost + ":" + cport + ":" + csid ,u,p);
enable = true;
oracleConnect.close();
}catch(java.sql.SQLException e){processError.logError("validateUser Invalue user" + e.getMessage()); enable = false;}
catch(java.io.FileNotFoundException e){processError.logError("validate User error" + e.getMessage());}
catch(java.io.IOException e){processError.logError("evalidateUser rror File Error " + e.getMessage());}
catch(java.lang.NullPointerException e){processError.logError("validateUser error Null Pointer " + e.getMessage());}

You are not using the server's built in JDBC Connection pooling, so there is no special WebServer configuration needed to connect to a database.
If in the other hand, you want to use the built in connection pooling, then refer to this page to see how to create a connection pool
http://docs.sun.com/source/817-1831-10/agjava.html#wp1085593
Samples on how to configure and use JDBC connection pooling can be found in the sample apps
