Setting up a G5 as a server

Hello
this is quite a broad question, my knowledge is very limited so please be patient if you have the time.
In the studio there are 14 computers, a mixture of eMacs, iMac G5's and a Power mac G5. There are all networked wirelessly. We want to set a back up sysytem on the powermac G5.
A server has been suggested, however I am unsure of what a server actually is or does and whether it would be the correct system to put in place. I would be very greatful for any advice or direction to somewhere I could read up and find out more information.
many thanks

  • How do I set up file sharing in Lion Server to work like file sharing in Lion Client?

    I've just installed Lion Server on my home iMac to enable remote access via VPN to my home network.
    When the iMac was running Lion Client (before the upgrade to server), and when File Sharing was enabled on the iMac; when other Macs on the LAN connected to the iMac via AFP, they were always able to connect to (share) any mounted external volumes (external USB or FireWire drives connected to the iMac). e.g.
    Now that I've upgraded to Lion Server, when other Macs on the LAN connected to the iMac via AFP they are only able to connect to (share) the sharepoints listed in the File Sharing pane of Server.app. e.g.
    Is there any way to set up File Sharing in Lion Server so that it works the same way as it does in Lion Client with respect to mounted external volumes? i.e. they are automatically shared? I know I can add each volume manually to File Sharing in Server.app but this gets tedious.
    Many thanks!

    I normally have a Firewall enabled. I recently had to do an erase and install of Lion, followed by a one-by-one re-install of all of my software. One of the first things I did was to set up all of my System Preferences the way I like them; Turning the Firewall on was one of them. Later I noticed it was off and turned it on again. I had already set up sharing and was surprised to see the problem when I turned it back on.
    As to why do I think it needs to be on. It is another part of my security layer.

  • How to set up a Mac as a server

    We have come to the point where we need a central back up point for all the computers in our household. I was thinking about setting up one computer as a server, which would have maybe an external hard drive set up. Am I on the right path, or would there be other options?

    Depending upon your storage needs, desired backup capacity, desired speed, and budget, another option is Network Area Storage (NAS), a dedicated server attached via an Ethernet cable directly to your wireless network router.
    I recently purchased an iomega/Lenovo 2TB unit to back up a MacBook with 500GB, a MacBook Pro with 500GB, and a 64GB iPad2: http://go.iomega.com/en-us/products/network-storage-desktop/ez-media/?partner=47 60
    The server allows the use of Time Machine for the MacBooks, and has an iOS app for iPads and iPhones. While 'cloud access' to my backup files is one of the available configurations, I have not implemented it.
    Initial Time Machine full-backup time was going to be somewhat long (over 24 hours) for my MacBook using my wireless setup, so I connected my MacBook directly with an Ethernet cable, and cut the required time down to under 8 hours. (The other two devices aren't nearly as full.)
    I've had it installed just about 30 days, so I can't comment on long-term ownership, but it is working well for my modest backup needs.

  • How to set up a JSP local host server?

    I am trying to set up a local host JSP server, do you know any good youtube or tutorials in general that would help me set up a local host JSP server? Or could you post the steps here and your source (if any).
    I am looking for something similar to XAMPP as in this youtube tutorial: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=KWRB-maTVyM&feature=rec-fresh However, any help would be greatly appreciated.
    By the way, I am very new to JSP and was wondering, XAMPP includes Apache, is Apache a JSP server?

    You need a Java web container to run JSP/Servlets. A commonly used one is Apache Tomcat. It is not the same as Apache HTTP Server which can only serve static files.
    You can find Tomcat here: [http://tomcat.apache.org].
    How to install/use it, just check the User Guide: [http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/index.html].

  • How to set up a basic file sharing server for my small architectural business?

    I have no idea if I have posted in the correct area as this is my first forum post within the apple support community!
    I have been using a 21.5" imac running 10.6.8 for the past 5 years to run my small home based architectural design business. I have been using the internal hard drive & backing up the necessary data to a simple usb external hard drive. I am now looking to firstly purchase a new imac 27" retina and purchase new autocad lt 2015 for mac software. I am looking to have another imac (my old mac) running in conjunction with the new mac. I want both macs to be able to access the same data and am slightly unsure what is the best way to achieve this.....As my old mac is currently only running snow leopard and an old version of autocad for mac 2011 it wont run on any more recent OS. Essentially i believe I have 2 main options with this.... (1) I Accept that I have to purchase 2 no. autocad lt 2015 licences @ a cost of £2300. Or option (2), I only run autocad on the new mac as this will be the primary station and the old mac used for primarily for admin & accounts. I have also recently discovered that it is possible to rent autocad licences for £300p/a which may also be another option (3)!
    I previously had a problem where my hard drive failed on my mac & lost all data on the internal hard drive, luckily I had been backing up all data regularly to my external hard drive and now loss occurred! Obviously with any new system I want to ensure that my data is safe!
    I currently utilise about 250GB of data for business operations but this will obviously grow with time.
    In the future I would like to have the option of potentially being able to access the network data remotely via macbook pro whilst abroad although at this stage this really isnt my primary objective. Although I believe I could achieve this through apple remote desktop.
    I suppose I should provide some information with regard to the required speed of the system...I regularly open 50-100 photos at the same time totalling around 250-500MB. I would like the system to be able to handle this fairly easily.
    I have been trawling through forums and to be honest they are totally confusing me. I have also spent time on the phone to the apple business team and have also discussed my objectives with a member of the apple team in store.
    There have been various options advised to me and I really do not know which is the most appropriate route forward.
    1 - Using a mac mini as the file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the mac mini to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
    2 - Using a time capsule as a file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the TC to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
    3 - Using the new mac hard drive and linking the 2 macs via thunderbolt (old mac does not have thunderbolt and so I guess I would need another new mac?!) and then backing up the data to a time capsule.
    4 - Using a RAID based server and linking the 2 no. macs.
    Sorry to ramble but any advice really would be greatly received!

    Hi sblemings,
    Welcome to the community.
    I think with your scenario you should ask yourself, how complicated do you want the setup to be and how much time would you have to be able to resolve an issue should one occur with this setup.
    All the options that have been advised would work but they come with complexity and therefore time.
    1 - Using a mac mini as the file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the mac mini to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
    2 - Using a time capsule as a file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the TC to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
    3 - Using the new mac hard drive and linking the 2 macs via thunderbolt (old mac does not have thunderbolt and so I guess I would need another new mac?!) and then backing up the data to a time capsule.
    4 - Using a RAID based server and linking the 2 no. macs.
    Sorry to ramble but any advice really would be greatly received!
    option 1
    Would be a way to achieve what you want, it would centralise your files and you would only need to backup your file server (as long as all the files you wanted backed up were on it). This could be achieved either using the client and sharing various folders or using Server which would give you more options than you would possibly need.
    option 2
    This is exactly like option 1 except that you wouldn't have to administer another mac however you may limit any future growth.
    option 3
    This option I probably wouldn't pick, you could achieve this with firewire and use a firewire to thunderbolt adapter (saves you having to buy a new iMac)
    option 4
    This option would, depending on your RAID level, give you disk redundancy but remember you would still need to back this up, as RAID is NOT a backup solution.
    I would also ask is there a pressing need to keep the old iMac in service and complicating things by having a server / NAS? Could you not just transfer all your information over to this and continue with the one backup? I would say that doing it this was would be the simplest way of achieving what you want from what I can take from your question.
    As for remotely accessing your data, if you have the right hardware the way to achieve this would be to use a VPN and connect back to your data. However a potentially easier way for you ,would be to use a service like logmein or teamviewer to connect back.
    Hope this helps, and by all means any questions please ask.

  • Need help setting up a netboot/net restore server

    I am looking for a link and or step by step instructions to set up a netboot net restore server in Mac OS X.4 server.
    I am using a G5 1.6SP with Mac OS X.4 server
    My goal is to put OS images on this server so i can quickly restore computers with a clean OS install via network
    I have created the images already and currently use a fire wire drive to boot fromso i can restorethe computers with the images storedon the fire wire drive..the server would allow me to install via network.
    So once again if someone can point me to a resource that provides step by step instructions i would appreciate.

    Tony has pointed you in the proper direction. One interpretation of what he's pointed you to:
    Here's what has worked for me in the past.
    When I do netinstalls, I do the following. Disclaimer - I know this is not the only way, but it works...
    Set up one client exactly as I want it, apply all updates, run fsck, repair permissions, and test it out thoroughly.
    I then boot the client in target mode, and attach it directly to the server with a firewire cable and use the image utility on the server to make an image. Follow the prompts to make it a netboot/netinstall image. From the clients, choose the network install image in StartupDisk (or hold the N key when you boot the client, or hold the option key for the bootmanager). You'll obviously need to enable netboot on the server, and it does rely on DNS to be running correctly on the server, just in case you weren't aware. This is not the only way to go, but it should work.

  • How do I set a breakpoint in a Java Server page (.jsp)?

    I have set up an application for remote debugging and am able to connect to it from JDeveloper. When the code execution comes to breakpoints that I have set in java (.java) files they work and the application stops so I can debug etc.
    This also applies to breakpoints set in java code that is called from Java Server pages.
    However if I set breakpoints directly in a java server page whether it is in html code or in java code (such as scriplets) the execution does not stop and the breakpoints are ignored.
    Why? Is there some extra thing I have to do? I have tried in Project Properties/Run/Debug/Profile/Edit/Launch Settings to choose server as Virtual Machine for instance but that does not change anything.
    Comment. I do not know if this is of interest but I am going to add some java server pages to an application and they are defined in a directory like this:
    . . . src\org\yawlfoundation\yawl\resourcing\jsf\jsp
    but when the tomcat deploys the .war file they end up here:
    . . . apache-tomcat-6.0.18\webapps\resourceService
    As I can find no package declaration in a .jsp file this should not matter but I mention it anyway.

    Hi user10477024,
    thanks for explaining your background on what you are trying to do and I do understand the approach you are taking. Unlike user10689900's completely random post.
    I've tried to convey why there is no support for JSP debugging in JDev, but again the main reason is that the current frameworks do not code Java directly into a JSP. The JSP is purely used to position the components on the page aiding visual design and real Java classes in tag libs do the rest.
    So the evolution has been:
    Servlets (Java classes writing HTML logic and intermingling presentation and business logic)
    JSP 1.0 JSP (HTML looking) files where you can add scriptlets enclosed in <% ... %> <- you are here
    JSP 1.1 Introduction of Tags and Tag libraries, tag libraries are true java classes and the JSP controls layout and simpler more elegant design.
    Really JSP 1.1 is all about building reusable components together in tag libraries that can be reused across pages and improving design by not mixing presentation and business logic code together.
    If I had inherited something as you have, my advice (if you can) would be to code up some tag libraries because it would be a good learning experience and would be very helpful for moving to more advanced frameworks like JSF.
    regards,
    Brenden

  • Can i install 10.2.0.4 patch set 14 on my client when SERVER is at 10.2.0.4

    ======================================================
    Can i install 10.2.0.4 patch set 14 on my client when SERVER is at 10.2.0.4 patchset 5?
    ======================================================
    We have a customer with DB on windows-2003 64 bit with following homes.
    At Server version:-
    DB version is 10.2.0.4 patchset 5,
    client1 is at 10.2.0.1.(patchset i am not sure)
    Client2 is at 10.2.0.4 patchset 5.
    Customer running some sqls which are taking more time from CLIENT2(10.2.0.4 patchset5) than CLIENT1(10.2.0.1). offcourse both CLIENTS connecting
    same DB. we identified a bug(6350579). This bug was resolved in 10.2.0.4 patch 14(7677781).
    Now my question is Can i apply this patch only at client side with out applying at DB level?
    I mean i will create one more new client called CLINET3 (with 10.2.0.4 and i will install 10.2.0.4 patchset14) and then run the SQLs from new client CLIENT3. is this supported method or not?
    Reason being customer does not want to install 10.2.0.4 patchset14 at DB since Customer is happy with DB performance.
    We are getting problem only when we connect to DB from cleint 10.2.0.4 patchset5. if we connect to DB from Client 10.2.0.1, SQL performance is very good.
    Please advise me on this.
    Regards
    Nagendra.

    You can upgrade your client with the latest patchset/bug fix (if you have tested it on some other machine and found that your issue has been resolved) but be prepared to handle any unusual errors that might arise due to this combination.
    Personally, I never prefer having a client running at a higher version than the server but there are some situations where we need to and we need to make sure that, even though Oracle must have tested certain scenarios, we do not run into errors. So test, test and test before changing anything in production.

  • Need help w/ setting up ports to run a server for America's Army

    Need help w/ setting up ports to run a server for America's Army. I read wat u need to change the ports but i dont understand wat to put. here is wat the site says
    Q: How do I run my own server?
    A: Quick and dirty server info:
    1. Edit RunServer.bat to change the map.
    2. Run RunServer.bat
    Or:
    server.exe LAN MAPNAME.aao (Host a LAN game)
    server.exe global MAPNAME.aao (Host a Public game)
    Also: When you create a server setup and want to allow other users to join your server, you need make sure the following ports are open for outgoing and incoming traffic in your firewall: 1716 (UDP), 1717 (UDP), 20025-20045 (TCP), and 20047 (TCP). Failure to open these ports will prevent the server from accepting connections from other players or prevent other players from being able to see your server online.
    There are several settings that also need to be defined in your server configuration INI file (in the Windows version, these files are located in “My Documents\America’s Army Server Settings\{settings file name}.ini”).
    [Engine.GameEngine]
    ServerActors=Andromeda.AndromedaMBS
    [Andromeda.Andromeda]
    GameServerIp=
    Make sure that you set the actual IP address of the America’s Army Server under GameServerIp= (for example, “GameServerIp=000.000.000.000”). The supplied address must be your actual internet IP address, if this is left blank or you supply the IP address for your internal network (such as 192.168.0.x), your server will not be able to accept connections from the internet.
    If your server.ini file contains the setting shown below, please change the QueryPort setting to 20025. This setting can also be removed, as the default setting is port 20025.
    [Andromeda.AndromedaMBS]
    QueryPort=20025
    Punkbuster user fix correction.
    If [Engine.GameEngine] block has been changed to read as below:
    [Engine.GameEngine]
    ServerActors=IPDrv.AndromedaMBS
    Please add the following block to your INI file:
    [IpDrv.AndromedaMBS]
    QueryPort=20025

    Your images are not stored in the catalog. They are stored in folders on your computer. If you imported images that were already on your computer using the "Add" Option they are still in that same folder. If you imported images from your camera then they are in the folders that you specified when you imported. The catalog points to those images wherever they are located, and records all of the adjustments that you make to the image. When you send an image to Photoshop for further editing and save that image in Photoshop, it is normally saved back in the same folder as the original image.
    Images are not "saved" in Lightroom. The basic default workflow in Lightroom is to store all of the adjustments in the catalog, leaving the original image completely unmodified. The catalog becomes the central controlling mechanism. It is a database that contains pointers to where the images are located and a record of all adjustments made to those images using Lightroom. Properly managed, you only have those original master files and secondary files for the ones that you have sent to Photoshop for further adjustment. When you want to provide a copy for someone else, you use the export dialogue for that purpose. I often export JPEG images to share with others or to post on the web. After I have usedthe JPEG for its intended purpose I delete it.

  • Is it possible to set up parental control in MultiPoint Server 2012?

    Hello everyone!
    Is it possible to set up parental control in MultiPoint Server 2012. I'd like to filter adult web sites.
    Kind regards,
    Pavel

    I found an issue with Multipoint Dashboard that when student select to signout and then select "Cancel" to signout to go back to the session, the Multipoint Dashboard filtering is no longer applied to the session.
    here is the scenario -
     - Student login to the Multipoint server using the end point device as an standard user.
     - The Multipoint Dashboard has the configuration to "limit the website to all desktop". "cnn.com" only
     - The student session, limits the use of the web browser to only to cnn.com - this is working.
     - Studen open an app like notepad - click save --> prompted him to where to save the file.
    do not save the file. leave the "Save as" windows open.
     - Click Start (left bottom corner)
     - Click the account’s name on the top right corner, Click Sign Out
     - It will prompt you with a warning that there is a file open and needs to be saved
     - "Signout anyway" or "Cancel"
     - student select to "Cancel"
     - He is now back to the session
    This will allow the student/account logged in to bypass the web filtering

  • Is it possible to set a port number for a server as a value from env ?

    Hello,
    I'm using the version 6.1 - sp8 and I'd like to set the port number of a server as a value returned by an environment variable. Will this be achievable somehow through the admin console?
    In fact, I have an environment variable called '$WEB_SERV_PORT'. I'd need this value to be assigned as the port number for a server. The reason why I am trying to do this is coz I have multiple instances running as different batch accounts and each batch account would be having its own '$WEB_SERV_PORT' which would be the port on which iplanet would be running for that batch account.
    I'd appreciate if anyone could help.
    Thank you,
    Presley.

    Hello Sriram,
    Thanks for the info that you have provided. I do agree that what you said would be a better approach.
    However I've got a couple of questions on the approach that you have suggested (Sorry that its a bit off from the main topic). Just wanted to clarify if what I thought is in sync with the approach that you suggested.
    1. As you said, I could setup multiple virtual server within an instance (https-<hostname>) - Does this mean that I am creating "Virtual Server Classes" for each server and through the web-applications tab, assigning the corresponding war file to each Virtual Server Class?
    2. Another approach that came upto my mind is that I could create different instances like (https-virtual server1, https-virtual server2, https-virtual server3 etc..). I am assuming that if I follow this approach, I could have each server allocate memory indiviually to the virtual servers. for eg, I could allocate
    1024 MB to each virtual server where as in the first approach, I would have to make the 1024 MB to share between all the Virtual Server Classes. And also, in the case theres an issue with one server, I could handle the start/ stop etc individually, where as in the 1st approach, all the virtual classes would be affected by the start/stop. Am I assuming it correctly ?
    I'd appreciate if you could let me know.
    Thank you,
    Presley.
