Server upgrade broken website and calendars

Hi
Sorry if this is an easy and obvious question. I've just upgraded from 10.7 to 10.9 server, and I'm struggling to get my Wordpress website back up and running, and the Calendar service. Mail seems to be working.
I know that the upgrade moved my web files around - I've found the location of the Wordpress install, as well as the database, but just restoring them to their previous locations doesn't seem to work.
As for the calendar service, I haven't a clue what's happened.
Perhaps naively, I just assumed that the Apple upgrade route would be painfree and simple. I have a full backup, but I'm hoping not to have to downgrade just yet - although it might be simpler to downgrade to the working version, export everything, then reimport with the upgraded version.
Thanks
Jeremy

Just stumbled on your question....
In 10.7 were you using MySQL as your WordPress db? If so 10.9 no longer uses MySQL. My sugestion is to "reinstall" a more current version of MySQL, then re-import your schema and data. Also be mindful of the PHP. Apple uses older version of PHP in their OS to control other services. Not sure which ones but Calendar might be affected in part.
Had simular problems with Concrete5 CMS. Had to format and reinstall several times before I got it all working.

IOS6 upgrade - lost contacts and calendar

Hadn't yet upgraded my iMac OS becasue of the likelihood of this sort of problem. Upgraded my iPhone to iOS6 and now I have no contacts or calendar. I use Outlook as default on my iMac, and all contacts and calendar info is still there (thank God - I use this for my business!) I still have texts (which only show phone numbers, not names!) and emails.
For a similar problem some time back, Apple suggested clearing the iSync log which worked a treat - not this time! I do not have iCloud enabled (yet) except to find my iPhone. I have iTunes 10.7 and my iMac OS is 10.6.8. I have tried adding my iPhone as a device in iSync, but get the message to say it cannot communicate with my iPhone. I suspect the basic problem is that Outlook is no longer syncing with Address Book and iCal - all the info was duplicated there before - no longer!
Any help/suggestions gratefully received...right now, I need this info on my iPhone, but don't have the time to upgrade my iMac OS. When I do that, I also plan to change from Outlook as my default email/calendar/addressbook and use Mail, iCal and Address Book instead.

This is just an educated guess, but I think most if not all problems are related to data not synced with another service like Google or corporate mail. Data manually entered, and stored in the PlayBook only is lost. Even though this should not happen. Can someone verify this theory?

OS X Server Deleted My Website and Configuration Changes

I have a small website I'm using from within my LAN on my MacMini under OS X 10.9.4, using html pages and one Python wsgi script. I ran into an issue with the databases in SQLite and rebooted. (I kept getting errors with the database being locked.)
After the reboot, I couldn't access my site and checked in OS X Server only to find the website was no longer there. (It had survived reboots before.) I checked /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_wsgi.conf and found that my WSGIScriptAlias entries (for that application and a few test/experimental scripts) were gone. All the changes I had made to OS X Server to set up my site were gone.
Is there any reason this would happen? And what can I do to make sure I don't suddenly lose entire website configurations when I reboot in the future?

Thanks that makes my decision easy. NAS is out of the question then since I do want multple devices to gain access to the media at times simultaneously. I did not know that NAS had this restriction. I also prefer the UI of iTunes for sorting thru my media.
So I will go with a dedicated Mac Mini running iTunes alone 24/7.
My next question would be about external storage. I do not need a raid 5 system since all of my media is backed up elswhere. I would like a good size external drive or multple drives that could run with minimal noise. (Prefer no fan) Currently I have been using a 2TB G-Drive with FireWire 800, it is very quiet, no fan and has worked like a charm. The problem is I need more space. I ended up getting a second 2TB GiDrive since the first one worked so well and daisy chained it to the first one with FireWire 800.
The problem is the Mac tend to unmount the drive after extensive sleep. I do have the mac in No Sleep Mode, Wake For Network access and Sleep drive when not needed. The latter does not work and I ended up not letting the drive sleep to prevent the drive from unmounting.
Am I doing something wrong that is causing the drive to unmount on its own?
Is there a better external drive for my needs that allows for growth yet runs quietly?

Contacts and Calendar Services Broken

I have a new build of Mountain Lion Server 10.8.2 and am having problems with the Contacts and Calendar services.
The server is an Open Directory Master.
I did this build by installing Mountain Lion 10.8 on a new hard drive. I had no interest in migrating any data except for the Open Directory, so I created an Open Directory archive to restore from with the new build. I then removed the old Lion Server boot drive and installed the Mountain Lion Server drive, then installed Server app. I moved the data stores to the RAID before starting any services.
DNS, DHCP, File Sharing, FTP, Mail, Messages, NetInstall, Profile Manager, Software Update, Time Machine, VPN, Websites and Wiki all work normally. I also use Portable Home Directories. I've only dabbled a bit with Mail, Profile Manager and Wiki, but I have not encountered any problems with them. I use the other services rather heavily. Everything is working great except Contacts and Calendar.
sudo changeip -checkhostname returns:
Primary address     = 10.0.0.2
Current HostName    = myserver.mydomain.private
DNS HostName        = myserver.mydomain.private
The names match. There is nothing to change.
dirserv:success = "success"
In the Server app both Contacs and Calendars turn on and appear to be working. I have the self-signed certificate created by the sever app assigned to the services. I am unable to log in clients to either Contacts or Calendar service via browser or through iCal or Contacs apps. The apps first notify that a secure connection is not possible. Then when I proceed I get authentication failures, even though the credentials are correct. Removing the certificate from the services has no improvement.
When I run "sudo serveradmin fullstatus calendar" I get the following output:
calendar:setStateVersion = 1
calendar:logPaths:LogFile = "/var/log/caldavd/access.log"
calendar:logPaths:ErrorLog = "/var/log/caldavd/error.log"
calendar:state = "RUNNING"
calendar:servicePortsAreRestricted = "NO"
calendar:servicePortsRestrictionInfo = _empty_array
calendar:readWriteSettingsVersion = 1
Examining /var/log/caldavd/error.log I find this interesting message:
2012-11-24 22:59:28-0700 [-] Unhandled Error

It seems as though upon setting the data store to the RAID that not all the necessary directories and files were created for the Contacts and Calendar services. Is there a way to create them new? Remember, there is no Contact or Calendar data to save. I am starting with a clean slate.
Assuming the problem lies with the missing directories in my data store location, is there a way to either create the missing directories & files, or just rebuild the two servieces from scratch?

Back up all files.
Quit the Server application and drag it to the Trash, but don't empty. You'll be prompted to confirm that you want to stop all services. You won't lose any server data.
Put the app back where it was and launch it. Test.

Convergence and Calendar Server 6.3

Good Morning,
We are in the process of looking at upgrading to Convergence 2.0. We are still running Calendar Server 6.3. From looking at the wiki page: https://wikis.oracle.com/display/CommSuite/Convergence+Patches+by+Release
It appears that I can install Convergence 2 Patch 2 and still be compatible with Calendar Server 6.3. Is that correct?
We need to get upgraded so that we have the support for newer versions of IE and to get our customization done before looking to upgrade to Calendar Server 7.
Thanks,
Doug

Yes, Calendar 6.3 (patch -44 or higher) is compatible with Convergence 2.
See https://wikis.oracle.com/display/CommSuite7U2/Communications+Suite+Component+Products+Release+Notes#CommunicationsSuiteComponentProductsReleaseNotes-commsuiterequirements
When you are ready to migrate to Calendar 7, you might be interested in:

OS X Server - Notes Sync - iOS and Mac

Hi - I'm using OS X Server to sync notes, contacts, calendars and mail. When I add the account to my Mac, the notes application is empty. When the same account is added to an iPhone and an iPad, the notes application displays all of the my notes.
The iPhone and iPad remain in sync when changes are made, however
the same account on the Mac will not display any of the notes.
The mailbox is working properly both in Apple Mail and iOS mail;
push works properly for Mail and Notes on iOS.
I've tried activating the same IMAP account on a different user profile on the same and different Macs, same result on all. I'm wondering if the Mac clients are attempting to connect to a different IMAP path.
What's really weird is this was all working properly last night. I started working on a note from my Mac, after having synced all of my other notes, but then noticed it had never synced over to my iphone. After trying to remove the account from my Mac, all of the notes disappeared. I've removed and re-added the account in iOS and it was able to sync back all of the previous notes.
Both the iPhone and iPad are running iOS 7; the Macs are all running OS X Mountain Lion (and ML Server).

Brian,
Thanks for the suggestion. I played around my settings bfore I saw your reply.
I solve the issue this way. I had set up my client to connect to my server for mail, contact, calendar and notes by selecting Add another account/Add an OS X server account in the system preferences. Doing this, Notes would take forever to get a check mark. Re-opening the systems preference pane, there would be 2 accounts for my server, on for contacts and calendar, the other one for mail. Again, trying to turn on Notes would fail.
I deleted the this account (Mail,notes) and took a different path to add my erver mail account.
I went through Add other account/Add a mil account. Entered my server credentials and mail and notes set up without issues.
I tried to see if things were syncing between iOS and OS X. It worked both ways without issues.
I tried changing the setup dor authentification after this was working, and it did not seem to make a difference.

The calendar app on MacBook won't recognize and sync with IPad and Iphone after upgrading to Yosemite and Server 4.0

After upgrading to Yosemite on our mac mini (from OS X 10.9) and V4.0 to Server (from 3.2), the calendar app on MacBook won't recognize the account and won't sync with IPad and Iphone. Even after giving password over and over again. I get the following message:

Anyone idea?

update to my original post: after searching since for the past 10 days - I did want to pass along to others with an iphone calendar sync problem the following resource:
Mac OS X: Resetting the SyncServices folder
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
This is the preferred solution for problems with sync with calendar and other apps between iphone and MaciOS. This did solve the problem which developed that no items from iCal were copying to Iphone, such as new calendars I would add, but the original problem has not been fixed by this reset.

Upgraded to Mavericks - and iCloud.   Calendar will not stop 'updating' - and has not synced all entries across all devices/calendars.

Hello Apple Support Community;
I am looking for some help on several matters related to my upgrade to OS X Mavericks this week.   THIS issue is one related to CALENDAR.
I believe that I have done everything (as instructed) to install, activate, and sync contacts and calendars via iCloud - immediately following my upgrade to Mavericks earlier this week.   When I opened CALENDAR for the first time - from the Dock on my computer (not the iCloud calendar) - after upgrading to Mavericks and setting up iCloud - CALENDAR provided a pop-up notification stating "Moving calendars to server account..." with a moving "candy cane" progress bar.
This has been "updating" for about 12 hours, now.   And while open and "updating" - it will not allow ANY other commands, scrolling, or menu options.   Additionally, I am unable to close this calendar of the Mac, unless I 'Force Quit'.   I have, in fact, executed Force Quit, and restarted the Mac.   No change... it still "updates".
When I open the iCloud calendar - it opens and works (mostly).   There are events on my iPhone 5 that are not on the iCloud calendar.   And there are events on the iCloud calendar that are not on my iPhone.   I have created new calendar events on each calendar account (iCloud on my Mac and iPhone 5) - and they seem to automatically update each device.   There does not seem to be any obviously rationale for the inconsistency of the calendar (iCloud and iPhone).
Can you offer ideas for possible solutions to:
1) the "permanently updating" calendar from the Dock on my Mac?
2) ensure that all events are properly synced across all calendar accounts (and devices)?
THANK YOU!!

Hello Phil... I got nothing from the Apple Communities.   May have been very hard to diagnose via my description - or hard to resolve given many possible solutions.
The perpetually updating scroll-bar-of-death continued for about a week.
I DID (finally) get resolution from the Genius Bar in my local Apple Store.   They deleted all prior "local" calendar back-ups and content - as I had my Calendar up on iCloud - which essentially "reset" the calendar function... and then reloaded the calendar, and then pulled in my calendar data from iCloud.
They twisted and tweaked a few more things that I was not able to follow (sorry I cannot offer more assistance on these other things).
They also reloaded Mavericks.
Everything seems to be working well now.
Apple Community... any more guidance for Phil - and others???
Good luck, Phil.

Upgraded to Mavericks. Calendar.app asks for password to sync calendar to Exchange account. Exchange server rejects password.

Upgraded to Mavericks. Calendar.app asks for password to sync calendar to Exchange account. Exchange server rejects password. Had to go to Outlook (ugh!) in order to work (this suck!). Please help!

Wanted to chime in and say I'm having the same problem. Had to go back to Outlook which feels ancient. Hope Apple fixes this soon.

Sync iCal - iPhone - Exchange 2007 broken after MobileMe Calendar upgrade

I need to keep contacts and calendars in sync between my work pc (XP, Outlook 2003, Exchange Server 2010), my home Mac (10.6.6) and my iPhone (3GS, iOS 4.3). Until recently, that worked fine by the following (roundabout) way: PC syncs with Plaxo online via Outlook add-in; Plaxo syncs with Mac; Mac syncs with MobileMe; MobileMe syncs with iPhone. However, the recent upgrade to new MobileMe calendar breaks this workflow, at least for calendar syncing, because Plaxo cannot synchronise with the new CalDAV cloud-hosted calendars. Can anyone suggest another way of getting this to work?
I thought MobileMe for PC might be a solution, but while it can show MobileMe calendars in Outlook, it can't synchronize them (and it seems not to work with Windows XP). A while back, I tried using Google Calendar as the focal point, but found Google Calendar Sync for Windows created a lot of duplicate items, lost items and general mess.
PS The office network doesn't run Exchange ActiveSync and does not allow a vpn connection from Mac or iPhone.

Hi JWilson@ch,
So I thought I was the only person doing that crazy workflow to get everything synced. I do it exactly the same way.
I stupidly upgraded to the new MobileMe last year when first invited, and spent the next few days working out how to get it all back and working. I have been happily syncing everything the old way since then.
My major concern now is that I just received an email from MobileMe today saying I have to upgrade now as they have stopped syncing the old calendar! I haven't checked this yet (I will in a sec), but if I have to upgrade, that means I lose everything that has worked so well since MobileMe started.
My crappy work Blackberry is useless for mirroring my Outlook calendar, so syncing my work onto the much more user friendly iPhone had been a saviour. Now I have all of my work and personal appointments in the same place, and I never miss anything.
What to do now? Is there another way to get my PC calendar onto my iPhone, apart from the Exchange Activesync option which my office also doesn't support.
I'll hold out as long as I can...

WIKI server upgrade 10.7 to 10.x lost calendar.

Just pulled the trigger and updated my MacMini server that was running 10.7.x to Yosemite 10.x. After the upgrade I checked and a WIKI that has been active for close to 1/yr is not %100.
The base page, images, and documents are there but the calendar which is the main item used on the WIKI is empty.
How do I go about restoring the data to the calendar from a TimeMachine backup.

Cf8-cf9 and server upgrade problems

I took over a system developed in coldfusion 8 and sql server
2005 on a windows server 2003. I was new to all of this. I now need to upgrade to cf9 and sqlserver 2005 on a windows server 2008. someone has done the initial install of sql server cf and dreamweaver. I added java. All seems ok except I can't make the datechooser work. I activated the rds in but I still could not get to datechooser.png. I copied the directory from c.... to the same directory as my application and it showed the icon but did not do anything. I think I have 2 problems here
1. how to I correctly map to the default CFIDE path
2. is there something else I need to install to get the datechooser implemyed via cfinput datefield to produce a calender when I click on the icon
Obviously I am a complete novice at this....
Thanks in advance for any assistance

@elizinn, someone may offer a single sentence proposal of how to fix things, but in my experience (helping solve such problems), this could be far more challenging problem to resolve than meets the eye, and all the more so if you're new to all this.
I'll share my observations, for what they're worth. Sorry if ultimately your problem is totally unrelated, but perhaps then it will help someone else reading this later. Also, it's not clear, but I'm assuming that you DID proceed with the CF9 update. Even if you didn't, some of what I offer could still help you, if you can stick with me.
First, you refer to not finding the DateChooser.png. Are you saying that it's somehow appearing as a broken link? Or are you getting a 404?
As a test, it should be found at:
http://[server]/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/resources/cf/images/DateChooser.png
What happens when you do that? That could be useful, diagnostically.
As for the question of mappings, and CF updates, that actually could be a real mess, from my experience, if people aren't careful about what they're doing. Things get all the more complicated when people support multiple web sites and start doing manual configurations. Let me explain.
The problem could have to do with where the first install of CF8 put the CFIDE, and then where the update to CF9 expected to update those files. It wouldn't be hard for someone not understanding things to have told the update to put its files in a different place than the original install, which could cause IIS (and your sites and requests) to be finding the wrong files (even if not a 404, they may not be the updated version for CF9).
At root, the problem is that during the install, one is asked whether they want to have CF use its built-in web server or an external one. If they choose the former, then the CFIDE (and related files) are put it in that web server's webroot (which is \wwwroot). If they choose the latter, then the files are put in a docroot defined for IIS. (Even there, someone may later configure things with the web server configuration tool to support several web sites, each of which could have its own web site. And for that, some will manually setup a an IIS "virtual directory" for the CFIDE, which points to whatever single one they think is the one that should be used.
I appreciate that it may sound confusing. This is one of those things where it may be faster for you to have someone with experience look over your shoulder and help correct things. There are some of us who do that, if you're interested. I list myself and others at cf411.com/#cfassist.
And things can get hairier still when someone then runs the CF update, where it again asks where to put the CFIDE files. They may not pay close attention to all this above (if they even understand it), and they may let the updater put the files in a different location than the IIS sites are currently configured to look at. That could then leave things not working, or not working well.
If you want to try to sort this out yourself, look in IIS, view whatever site you're working with, and look for any reference to a CFIDE directory. If it's not there, that's a problem from the start. You will want to add a virtual directory that points to wherever it really exists (and again, you want to be careful that there may be two different ones, as only will likely have been updated by the installer.)
If it is there, then if it's a "real" directory (within that site's docroot), then again you want to make sure it's the one that was updated in the upgrade to CF9. If not, then you may need to copy whatever files "were" updated into that directory (or delete that directory and create a virtual one to point to the right place).
And if it's there and it's a virtual mapping, again, make sure it's whatever is the latest CFIDE (if you have multiples).
I'll note as well that there is also a mapping in the CF Admin (on the mappings page) for CFIDE, and that's put there by the installer (and is not editable in the interface). That could help clarify where the installer put the latest files.
Hope that's helpful.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Calendar schedule blank. All appts disappeared from 3g iphone calendar synced to yahoo. After Yahoo corrected error message on their website and I re-synced my iphone, calendar reappears but will not allow edit from iphone. I can't find settings to change

Calendar schedule blank. All appts disappeared from 3g iphone calendar synced to yahoo. After Yahoo corrected error message on their website and I re-synced my iphone, calendar reappears but will not allow edit from iphone. I can't find settings within Yahoo or within my iphone to alter editing options.
How can I get access to edit and delete the Yahoo calendar from my iphone? I never schedule anything from the Yahoo webpage. All my appointments and reminders are scheduled from the iphone.
iOS 4.2.1 (8C148a)

My Yahoo email account worked just fine on my iPhone 4S for the last 2 months. Then this morning I started receiving the apple.imap.mail,yahoo error. I tried all of the steps above in solving the yahoo email issue including numerous hard re-sets and deletions of my yahoo account settings without any success. So I gave up trying to use the default Yahoo setup option. I added my Yahoo account back as an "other" type email account and then had the option to choose to set it up as a "POP" account instead of an IMAP type. I then just used the server settings recommended from Yahoo Help for a Yahoo Plus Email POP (or just google yahoo plus email pop settings). This works and I am back in business.
I'm not sure if this will work for yahoo mail classic accounts.
Frustrating that this issue seems to have been going on for quite awhile and Apple still as not made any acknowledgement of this issue or proposed a fix for those of us that can not resolve the issue with a reset.
