Share Point Problems

I have recently cleaned a volume and recreated my share points. The way they worked before, a user of a group could create a directory and others in the group could read and write to it. Pretty straight forward stuff. Now, no matter what I do the folders created by any user will only be writable to themselves, and read only for others. I have tried everything including reformatting the drive. Nothing is working. I have seen this problem in the forums before but non of the suggested fixes seems to work.
Any new info available on this matter, or any new suggestions? I was wondering if there was a way to completely reset AFP if there were something that may be corrupt.
Thanks in advance.

First, thank you for responding. In trying your suggestions, I've come up with the following.
Here are a few things to check:
1. Verify that the "ignore ownership" box is not
checked for the volume that houses the troublesome
share point. If it is, uncheck it and restart your
server.
Where is the ignore ownership box? I've been looking for it under my volume settings, permissions, etc and have been unable to find it.
2. Verify the filesystem of the volume that houses
the share point using Disk Utility or diskutil. If
there is a problem, stop file services (or unshare
all share points on the volume), repair the disk,
then remount it (and reshare its items).
No disk untility problems were found.
3. If you recently disabled ACLs on the volume in
question, you need to restart your server to complete
that process.
They have been disabled for over 4 months. I have also restarted after changing any settings. (I can do this as most of the users keep different hours.. :-))
4. I would encourage you to use ACLs instead of the
Inherit Permissions POSIX hack. Some applications
have difficulties with that model, and the Effective
Permissions model, which calculates permissions from
POSIX information and ACL information, is a better
way of solving the problem, even if you don't use any
of the other features. Please see my ACL Tips post
here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=15
5247
I have looked at your ACL's post and tried that prior to going to the inherit permissions from parent method. For the way that we use some of the files and sharing options, ACL's proved to be problematic at that time. I'm still looking at ways to move over to this method.
The problem of deleting folders is a new problem. All of my users are still able to create and delete files but only create folders. The permissions are also inherited correctly.
Thanks again for the information, if you have any other ideas, I would greatly appreciate it!

Files copied from AFP share point are unwriteable by client

This is the same issue as: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8044984
Has anyone found a fix yet? Basically, when copying files from an AFP server, Leopard is not having the file inherit the permissions of the parent folder. It is inheriting the permissions of the file within /Volumes.
I am accessing an AFP share point on a server that has files that are 644 (readable by everyone, but only writable by the owner). I am not the owner. When viewing the AFP volume on my client within /Volumes/whatever the permissions appear to be 400 (unwriteable by the owner, no access to anyone else). When I copy the file over to desktop, the permissions remain as 400 when they should obviously be 600.
What does this mean? Even though I am NOW the owner, and it is on MY desktop, I am unable to write to the file unless I chmod it. Very, very annoying and this behavior is unique to Leopard. Tiger does not mangle the permissions.
The server is ubuntu-8.10-server running Netatalk.
The test clients are Leopard 10.5.5 and Tiger 10.4.11
On the server:
$ pwd
/srv/www
$ ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 1024 2008-11-23 23:29 test.doc
On the Leopard client:
$ pwd
/Volumes/www
$ ls -l
-r-x------@ 1 sauce staff 1024 Nov 23 23:29 test.doc
$ cp test.doc ~/Desktop
$ ls -l ~/Desktop/test.doc
-r-x------@ 1 sauce staff 1024 Dec 7 00:21 /Users/sauce/Desktop/test.doc

I don't believe this is a problem of leopard in general. i can not reproduce this behavior with any of my afp shares. no matter how i connect (as an owner or as a guest) after I copy something to the desktop it gets standard 644 (not 600) permissions.

How can I resolve slow browsing in finder when connected to a share point on a linux box?

Hi,
I am having huge difficulties when browsing a share point that is on a Linux box. I am connecting to it with a Macbook Pro running Lion 10.7.5.
Initially there was an SMB share point setup on the server which was extremely slow to browse. I then setup an AFP sharepoint thinking that would help with the issue but it hasn't made a difference at all. The issue is that files take forever to load when browsing using Finder. Moving between folders on the sharepoint takes extremely long since files are slow to load.
There are very few options available on line to help with this and so far none of them have worked. I think the problem is with Finder and the way it indexes the files but I could be wrong.
Please help!

Hey Brenda, this isn't 'Safari' I believe this is your Modem/Router to solve this issue please look on the bottom/side of your internet box, and find the codes. But I also believe, when starting up your modem/ Internet box when you first actually received it you had to sign up, this is the only way in order for you to receive this message. Please contact your Internet providers.
Try Uninstalling Safari!
Have you tried to press cancel to see if that helps?

Different passwords for different share points on 1 server?

On a lion server I have two share points.
A 'general' is accessible for all users, a 'confidential' is for a select group of users.
The permissions are set and the select group have their server access password in their key chain.
The server password is stored in a separate key chain ie. not in the login key chain.
The select users connect to the server and allways mount the 'general' share point.
The 'confidential' share point is mounted only when needed and unmounted afterward.
Problem is when the users walk away from their computer and forget to lock the computer or to completely disconnect from the server, which is generally very inconvenient because of open documents.
"Unmounting" the confidential share in my setup is not really putting it away securely because at that moment, anyone can sit down at that computer and mount 'confidential' because the login credentials were already given when mounting 'general'.
Is there any way, lest having Parallels running another Lion server that shares the 'confidential' mount point, to force users to enter a password before 'confidential' can be mounted WHILE 'general' IS ALREADY MOUNTED?
In other words, can credential exchange be tied to share point mounting time rather than to server connection time and thus be different for different shares and allow for share-specific unmounting, effectively locking it away?

Has nobody done this before?

Mobile Account - How to Map Share Point Locally on Server?

Hello,
Using mobile accounts on a mac mini server, this is a small home network. Primary reason for server was to use mobile accounts allow the various computers and laptops to be accessed by all family and guests with data linked to login.
All work fine except, when I login into the server as my mobile account it is unable to sync, or find any files because the Share Points do not map locally. Warning message says use locally. This causes problems with itunes, mobile account syncs etc.
Is there a way to map the Share Points using the network path, locally on the server in the mobile accounts?
Thanks
Peter

You need to convert the project to sharepoint 2013, you have to change the target office version 15.0 and target framework versions to 4.0 or 4.5. For more details go throught the below posts

Drill through reports are not working fine in share point server

I Have a master report with four parameters and child report with two parameters
I deployed these two reports in share point server , my scenario is i am navigating from my parent report to child report using action (Drill Through Report Concept)
First i clicked on parent report it will ask select parameters , i have selected all parameter and click on apply in share point it will display the parent report content .
In parent report i have link to navigate child report . if i click the link it will redirect to child report and displays the child report content perfectly. upto this step every thing working fine now problem is comes to picture
I have back to in my child report when i click the that button it redirects from child to parent
But earlier selected parameters values are lossed and the parent report again asked for me to select parameters
Can you please explain me because we have migratiojn from ssrs report manager to share point .

Hi All,
Finally i got the solution there is small difference between SSRS Native mode and share point integrated mode
To overcome this issue explicitly we have to change our report expression code for SharePoint Integration mode before deployment. We have to change URL
Preparation code in the expression in report.
Below is the sample URL
="http://<<site url>>/ReportServer/RSViewerPage.aspx?rv:RelativeReportUrl"+"=/ssrs/INT/Report.rdl&rp:parameter1="+CStr(Parameters!parameter1.Value)+"&rp:parameter2="+CStr(Parameters!parameter2.Value)+"&rc:Parameters=True"
The only difference between our SSRS Report manager report expression and share point integrated mode report expression is
“rp:”
value prefixed with every parameter.
After fixing this code I am able to see the previously selected values in Parent report below are the screen shots

I require a 32 bit version of Firefox to process a single instruction in Share Point. Where can I get the 32 bit version of Firefox at any level?

I am trying to utilize a function in SharePoint to permit me to open a library in Explorer mode. The function is available on the Share Point page and when I select the function my IE browser stops working. Unfortunately IE at it's current setup on my system is required for most internal applications. Chrome will not enable most of the functions in the Share Point site so that browser is unusable for my purposes. Upon research the current potential resolution to my problem is to run a 32 bit browser to enable my function. Due to the above mentioned limitations I require a 32 bit version of Firefox but the download only provides a 64 bit version because my system is 64 bit. How can I get a 32 bit version of Firefox?

</blockquote>
For what OS as Firefox for Windows from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ www.mozilla.org] is only Win32 and will work on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. Firefox for Mac OSX is a combined 32/64 and There are separate 32-bit and 64-bit versions for Linux.
Where are you downloading Firefox to think it is a 64-bit version?
The WOW64 in a browser useragent on Windows means it is a 32-bit application running of 64-bit Windows.

Share point in server admin not working correctly... I think

I suspect that the share point in server admin is not working correctly. In workgroup manager when I click on a user and then click on the "home" tab, under the full path field I see a file path of:
afp://server.mydomain.com/Users
However if I go to Server Admin -> AFP -> Share Points then click on the Users share and then click on the share point tab below, enable auto mount is disabled. How can this be possible? I thought for a directory to show up in home in workgroup manager it had to be set as an auto mount. Has something possibly corrupted? And what?

Here's a bit more information about our setup and our experiences with Apple's CUPS implementation:
On the server, all printer queues are set up with only lpr and ipp sharing enabled with the PPD setting for each printer set to Generic Postscript. We found that setting the PPD to the printer specific one on the server caused problems when clients tried to use printer specific options, like paper tray selection, etc.. The selection would be undone, apparently because the driver on the server would override the previous settings. Using Generic Postscript allows the client PPD settings to go through unmodified. Our printers are general a mix of HP LaserJets and some Sharp Copiers.
All clients use lpd to the server queues with the printers' actual PPDs configured. Using ipp is superior in that printer feedback (jams, out of toner, etc) makes it back to the clients, but ipp only works when the client, the server, and the printer are on the same network. If the ipp client is not on the same network, the client spooler immediately goes into a paused state and the print job is stuck on the client.
Using lpd to the server queues works reliably, but there is no feedback to the client. Jobs disappear from the client queue and go to the server, appearing to the user as a successful print. If the printer is down, there's nothing they can see or do about it.

Multiple projects, multiple lists on Share Point

Hi, I am hoping someone can provide me guidance here.
I am trying to create a project list on SharePoint that shows the Gantt Chart of the task duration. However, there are multiple projects with the same tasks which I would like to capture. For example: Project A has task 1, task 2, .... task 20; Project B
has the same tasks 1, 2... and 20. These tasks and projects are being worked on by different individuals.
What I would like to capture is the duration of each tasks for these projects in one list on Share Point. Is it possible?
any response would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance for your time.

Making this more complex adds potential rendering difficulty down the line.
One list is indeed better and can be managed more easily. you'll be able to present different views of the data on different web part pages if needed, along with additional metadata,

How to remove corrupt share point?

Hi All,
I have a corrupt sharepoint that is killing my backups, I'm in need of some help getting rid of this "beast".
OS X Server 10.5.4 Advanced.
Mac Mini 1.83 GHz 2GB RAM.
Server runs on internal drive, backs up to external firewire drive.
Server has been in daily use for about 4 months without incident.
Here's the what happened and what I've tried so far.
I Created a new sharepoint in ServerAdmin.
Shared folder: /Library/WebServer/Documents
Custom AFP name: /WebDocs
The sharepoint "/Documents" was created, but I was unable to see or connect to /WebDocs.
The first workstation connecting to /Documents resulted in a server crash (did not record details). Server seemed to be OK after rebooting.
A second attempt to connect by the same workstation (Windows 2000) worked as expected and the user was able to read and write data on the server.
As "/Documents" conflicts with an important local name, I deleted the /Library/WebServer/Documents share point and set up /Library/WebServer with Custom AFP name at default "WebServer".
The sharepoints "/WebDocs" and "/Documents" do not appear in Server Admin.
Now the server, and workstations bound to it, have an alias "/WebDocs" which seems to be corrupt and causes Superduper backups to fail with an error:
Error - SDCopy: Failed to copy extended attributes to directory /Volumes/SrvBack/WebDocs:
Too many levels of symbolic links
Running Repair Permissions did not help.
Get Info on /WebDocs (in Path Finder) shows:
Kind: Alias
UTI: com.apple.mount-point
Locked: Yes
Owner: root
Permission 000
type: 'lcmt'
Creator 'rhap'
BUT...
server:/ root# ls -ld /WebDocs
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1 Aug 3 12:08 /WebDocs
server:/ root# chmod -h 777 /WebDocs
chmod: /WebDocs: Too many levels of symbolic links
server:/ root# rm -d /WebDocs returnes an error:
rm: /WebDocs: Resource busy
server:/ root# mv /WebDocs /BrokenWebDocs
seems to work as expected, but /WebDocs alias is recreated on server boot.
server:/ root# ls -l /WebDocs returns an error:
ls: WebDocs: Too many levels of symbolic links
server:/ root# ls -l /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/config/Sharepoints
shows all expected sharepoints, WebDocs is not present.
server:/ root# sharing -l
lists all expected sharepoints, WebDocs is not present.
LDAP Log does not list WebDocs or Documents
Server Log contains:
Aug 4 13:14:35 server servermgrd[88]: servermgr_filebrowser:
FSPathMakeRef failed with status -35.
path: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/WebDocs
I am guessing that the corrupt /WebDocs share point is contained in the LDAP directory, because it's propagated out to the work stations, but I don't know where to begin looking for that.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

The solution to this problem:
Workgroup Manager/Preferences/Show "All Records" tab and inspector.
Select the "All Records" tab (Target icon).
Use the search tool to find the errant sharepoint and delete it.
Problem solved.
Odd that the sharepoint did not sow in the System Admin tool...

Custom NFS share point directory showing up on all network machines

Hi,
I'm in the process of migrating our 10.4 PowerMac server to a Mac Pro (running 10.5). I've been trying to recreate our 10.4 server setup as much as possible and so far I've only come across one annoying issue.
We have fink installed on the server and under our 10.4 setup the /sw directory was set up as an NFS automounted share point with a custom mount point of '/sw'. I.e. users logging into client machines saw a /sw directory and could work with that. This made it easier to add fink packages as I only needed to do this on one machine (the server). This setup worked very well under 10.4 and had been working stably for the last couple of years.
As we now have (for another month or two at least) a mix of intel and Power PC machines, I don't want to share out the (intel) server version of fink to all clients. In Server Admin, I have chosen to set the NFS protocol options to specify the IP address of just one client (an intel machine). I am only using NFS to share this directory. The plan is to add more client IP addresses as we get more intel machines.
This works for the one intel client machine. Logging in via the GUI or via ssh allows you to run programs located under the /sw directory. The problem is that a phantom /sw directory appears on all client machines, even though their IP addresses are not specified in Server Admin. The /sw directory has root/wheel permissions (for user/group) and attempting to list its contents returns 'Operation not permitted' (even with 'sudo ls /sw').
If I use Directory Utility to remove the connection to the Directory server on our main server, then the /sw directory becomes owned by root/admin and I can remove it (it appears empty). Reconnecting to the Directory Server changes the permissions back to root/wheel. It is also worth noting that when I first installed fink on the server (in /sw) the act of making this a share point also changed the permissions on /sw to root/wheel meaning that I couldn't access the fink programs that I had only just installed (this forced me to reinstall fink in /Volumes/Data/fink).
Has anyone else noticed this behavior? It almost seems like Server Admin is not honoring the list of IP addresses that are being listed as targets for client machines. I had planned to install fink locally on the PowerPC clients until we upgrade them to intel machines. However, I would then also have to install fink somewhere other than /sw as I can't write to that directory. I would presume that this behavior should happen on any NFS share point that is trying to automount to a custom mount point on a client. Can anyone else verify this?
Regards,
Keith

As a footnote. I have now removed my shared fink installation. It is no longer listed as an NFS sharepoint in Server Admin and running the 'showmount -e' command does not list it. However, a /sw directory is still being created on the server and on the client machines on our network.
This is perplexing and frustrating. There is no sharepoint any more. I rebooted the server but it makes no difference. I removed the /sw directory (on the server) by booting the machine in target firewire mode and removing it by using a 2nd machine. But following the restart, it appeared again.
This suggests that once you make any custom mountpoint (using NFS sharing) then you will forever be stuck with a directory at the root level of all your clients which you can not remove.

ACL on share points doesn't seem to work

Hi Everyone,
I have a server set up, with a series of share points on it. One of those folders is "Marketing", and the Marketing team has a boss, who is the only guy who should be able to create folders within that share.
The people in the Marketing group, should have access to write and delete files, but not create folders.
Here's the setup:
Users/Groups:
John (boss)
Roger (one of the Marketing employees)
John and Roger both belong to the Marketing group
Share point ACL:
Marketing / Allow / Custom ( full read, write attributes, write extended attributes, create files, delete ) but not create folder, delete subfolders and files
John / Allow / Full Access
As last detail, all users are on Apple computers.
Problem
John is able to do everything he should, create files, folders, etc.
Roger on the other hand, can only read.
Question
Does the ability to write files, require the ability to write folders? If I let Marketing group write folders, Roger's access works. If so, is there a workaround?
Thanks!

I know that order of the permissions in the acl window is relevant, from what ive learned on here based on different issues. I think if you have a deny permission, and further down you have an allow permission so to speak, the allow overides.

Share Point 2013 Designer not showing platform as "Share point 2013 Workflow" at the time of workflow creation.

Hi All,
I am trying to create workflow for my Share Point 2013 site. To do this, I installed Share Point 2013 Designer,
then created couple of workflows in that, using "Share point 2013 Workflow" platform.
But when today, I tried to create workflow, I found that "Share point 2013 Workflow" platform option was not there. Because of that I am unable to create and deploy workflow on my SP 2013 site.
I am really not getting the problem. As I created some workflows using "Share point 2013 Workflow" platform on same share point designer and now I dont see that option in dropdown.
Please suggest me something for this. I tried all possible solution which are present on internet.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Since you are posting the thread in SharePoint 2013 server forum, I assume you are using SharePoint server 2013.
I understand the option SharePoint 2013 platform disappears when you create a workflow in Designer, the issue might be caused by workflow manager. Please refer to the article below and check workflow configuration per the steps listed:

Is it possible to insert a PDF directly(ie from Share Point) to email (Outlook) without saving it?

Is it possible to insert a PDF directly(ie from Share Point) to email (Outlook) without saving it?
I open several docs on Sharepoint that I need to send out immediately and waste a lot of time saving it to my computer and than opening an email and attaching it and than deleting the file bc I don't need it - its already on Sharepoint where I can access it.

I have the exact same problem. I used to could do it without saving until I upgraded to a new version. I cannot figure out how to send it without saving.

10.5 Leopard Share Points with XP

Hi,
I am contemplating upgrading to Leopard Sever and wondered if there are problems with Windows XP users connecting to the Leopard Share points?
Is there still an issue with Vista connecting to Leopard Share points. I am aware of the work around fix regarding secpol.msc.
Thanks

BUMP (sorry hate doing this)
