Server stop responding few times a day

Hi,
this problem occurs several times a day. The server just stop responding and it cannot be reached from mac via afp and from pc's via smb. It is still running and you can ping it but Server Admin, Server Monitor and other tools cannot connect to it. The only thing i can do is to restart it from the power button. The logs doesn't show anything suspicious. I am running 10.4.8 Mac OS X Server on Apple Serve G5.

Hi,
i think i found the problem but now i am looking for the solution.
i found a line in system.log wich states the following:
servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no name available via DNS for 192.168.1.2
Dec 20 11:09:01 Server servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no hostname set and unable to detect via DNS, services may not function properly - use changeip to repair
when i do changeip -checkhostname i get:
The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool.

Server stopped responding. Any suggestions?

Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding

"Could Not Open Page.... Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding"
....but it could worked just fine for the first 2 weeks of iPhone4 ownership.
WiFi network at home, working fine with MacBook, visiting friends' phones, my new iPhone4 - no problems. Had to power down the modem & router very briefly last night. Rebooted, MacBook connected fine, iPhone doesn't - it goes through the motions - shows all signs of full connection, full signal, password accepted etc etc - but web pages will not open, displaying after 30 secs the warning message above.
Tried at work on another wireless network - same response.
Have gone through all the FAQs, reset network settings, forgotten network etc - still nothing.
Anyone experienced the same and fixed it?
cheers

I'm having a very similar problem, but it's with my 3G connection, not with wifi. The display tells me there is 3G connectivity, and I get the loading symbol, but pages stop loading a few seconds after I try to open them, and some time later I get the "server stopped responding" message. That happens with addresses I know are working, such as Google. Some times, restarting the iPhone or the internet connection (by switching plane mode on and off) solves the issue, but it has been happening often these days.

Does the iPod connect to other networks OK?
Do other devices now connect and work OK?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router

TS1398 safari server stopped responding. How do I get it started again?

When trying to access the web all I get is the message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". What is the solution?

I have a related issue (I think, hard to know for sure from the short frustrated post above).
Since the last update of iTunes (11.0.5), it kind of freezes while checking for and downloading new podcasts. Processor load goes to 100% (sometimes above! figure from Swedish OSX "Aktivitetskontroll" which I can imagine is something like "Activity Control" or "Activity Manager" in English OSX) and stays there for a few minutes, 3-5 minutes is common. During that time the mouse pointer turns into a spinning ball when moved above iTunes. Other apps work ok meanwhile. (Four processors)
Have a fixed connection to the internet, which I have tested while iTunes is frozen. We acheive above 100 Mbit/s downstream, 20 Mbit/s upstream, so the connection shouldn't be the problem.
Any ideas on what to do?

Failed to open page: Server stopped responding

Wondering if someone can help me out. I just got comcast broadband a few days ago and I'm unable to get on the net using Safari or IE but I can get on fine using Firefox. Safari clocks for a minute or two then I get an error message Safari could not open the page “http://www.apple.com/” because the server stopped responding
any ideas?

Hello BlueOrca,
Have you tried Safari in an other user account if not do so please.
System pref. ->Accounts -> Login Options [+] to create one. Log out of yours & into that one. This help to pinpoint if this issue is systemic or user specific
Which ISP do you use ?
Which Router do you USE, Does it have a Firewall ?
Can you find it here ? Do you know how to configure, do check the settings.
http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_triggering/routerindex.htm
In -> System Preferences -> Network -> Show: Wireless->
• TCP/IP tab:
Do you have DNS # Values entered in the DNS # Field Box ?
If not enter them. Find your server here and the DNS # to enter
http://www.portforward.com/networking/dns.htm
Configure IPv4: Do you use Using DHCP Lease ?
IPv6 address do you see one there? If not try setting
Configure IPv6: Is that set on Automatically, if not try that
• Proxy tab:
Do you have Proxies checked ? if you do try Deselecting it.
If AOL is a browser does it have settings that over ride Safaris ability to connect nI know nada about AOL, perhaps you could check its settings.
Let us know how you fare, okay?

"Cannot open page....server stopped responding"

This is the second time that my ipod errors out.
1. when using safari i get this error message " cannot open page...server stopped responding"
2. any app that connects to the internet times out. ie weather, bankofamerica
--I tried resetting everything allowed. last time i had to restore the ipod which i lost all my music i paid for at the itunes store (yes i know i should of backed it up.... )
--its not my router cuz im tried different wifi locations and it doesnt help
can someone please help me....

We all wish WiFi was simple to use, plug and play, etc. but it is not. You need some understanding of networking to know what is going on. You can Google "wireless networking" and get some basic understanding of what is happening.
Your iPod is telling you that it is not connected to a network. You have a network strength meter in the top left of your screen and you have the network information in Settings > WiFi.
Start with these steps:
1. Reset your network settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
2. After your iPod restarts, log back into a network using Settings > WiFi > Other network
3. Type in the network name, security used, and the password, if needed
4. If your iPod connects, you will get a check mark displayed next to the network name.
5. Tap the blue arrow (>) next to the network name and look at the information displayed. If your IP address starts with 169.x, you are not connected to that network and further trouble shooting is required.
Write back with lots more details. Like the network you are connecting to, the router used (if it is your home network), and so on.

Lion server on Mac mini server stop responding to ssh and VNC (other services like mail, ical works well)

Lion server on Mac mini server stop responding to ssh and VNC (other services like mail, ical works well)
Version is Lion server 10.7.4
When I attach a monitor to it, I saw all the buttons and menus stopped responding too. I can only push and hold the power button on the box to shutdown.
It only started happening recently.
Anyone has any clue?
Thanks for the help in advance!!!

Found that the second hard drive is broken. I have to go to the apple store to have it replaced.
I had to press the power button to turn the server off for several times, then the broken hard drive went disappeared. After that, I had to disable the Spotlight. Then the server went back to work normally.
Now I made a CCC copy of the primary hard drive, and would like to have the server run on the external raid disk (connected through thunderbolt). Does anyone have previous experience with it? Any expectable drawback or issue with this setup?

Safari Cannot open due to server stopped responding

On Ipad2 Safari is not connecting to server. Tried to reboot ipad and it still does not go. The actual message is Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding. Other than doing a total reset and losing everything, what can be done? Anyone else having this problem. Started two days ago.

Thank you. It worked. Could not reply on Apple Support.

My safari won't connect to the Internet as it says server stopped responding

Hi, everytime I try to go on Internet through safari, it won't open the page, the error message is, safari cannot connect as server stopped responding. My ipad has been updated from io6 to io6.1. Internet connects fine through google chrome app.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

My iPad shows Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding. How can I access Safari?

I cannot acces Safari (for the past three days) A message shows 'Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding. How can I rectify this?

Well, you are accessing Safari. It's just that there's a page it's trying to access on the web, one that you last used, and that website is not available. When looking at the dead page in Safari, tap the lower right icon to shrink down the page and then tap the "x" to get rid of it. You can then try going to another site.

Data upload few times a day?what's that for ?

I recently bought a iphone 3GS from Apple and began using it , I seldom go on the net using my iphone and i switch off my 3GS connection most of the time .I only use WIFI when I'm at home using my home wireless internet . I did not activate the mail account as I don;t want my emails to be diverted to my phone as it will cost me since I do not subscribe to a package data.I received a sms from my service provider that I my bill has exceeded 4 months of my regular bill which was shocking to me as I rarely surf the net using my phone , I noticed from my bill that there are daily data package being sent into my phone sometimes a few times a day even at the time when I'm asleep and not using the phone .What is this data packages that is sent to the phone.this is very distressing.can some one help to tell me how can I stop this as my bill is so much that I can buy another iphone .

Turning off 3G does not turn off data connections either. It does turn off high speed cellular data, but EDGE can handle data too (it just can't simultaneously handle voice and data traffic). If you have location services enabled, that will also use data (and not just to get maps if using the Maps app, but also to get/receive data from cell towers for triangulation), as will weather apps, newspaper readers, RSS feeds, and other apps that, when launched, need to go out and update their data stream.
About the only way you can be sure to never use data is to put your iPhone in airplane mode - which pretty much defeats the purpose of even having a smart phone. Really, the best solution is get a data plan. Or sell your iPhone for an iPod touch and a very basic voice-call only cellular phone.
