So confused with Mac's web server MYSQL setup

I'm a recent Mac convert, and while I use to install apache~php~mysql on my PC I've been enjoying my pre-installed apache~php~mysql on my Mac... except one thing, I have no idea how to access MYSQL. I did a phpinfo(); check and it says that MYSQL has been enabled. I installed Sequel Pro to help manage MYSQL databases, but I can't log in. What's the default username and password? I just need to fill the following in:
Name:
Host:
Username:
Password:
Any amount of help would be great, thanks in advance~!

I am confused with Mac OS X Server Time machine backup plan

I just purchased a Mac mini with Snow Leopard server. I just start use this Mac mini for home file sharing server, iTune musics, photo processing (under my user/Picture directory) and iPhone coding (under my user/Document directory).
Since there are some critical personal file in this Mac mini, I am looking for a backup plan.
Original, I setup Time Machine as my iMac and I though Time Machine will backup everything, especially my photos. So, I enable my Mac mini Time Machine and assign backup to my 1TB external hard drive, it seems works correct.
But I happen browse this document today the "Apple Documentation for setting up Snow Leopard Server".
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/AdvancedServer_Adminv10.6.pdf
And it seems said Time Machine will not backup everything and it also not mentioned if photos and musics will be backup or not.
Then I look into my external 1TB hard drive via terminal, it's free space decreased and looks like my data are already backup in this 1TB hard drive.
So, should I choice another backup plan, like purchase another external RAID and use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup?
Any suggestion is welcome. TIA.

Sorry to hear you've had so much trouble with backups
On the contrary. I have no issues with my backups. What gave you that idea?
From your post, I guess you know something that CA or Tivoli doesn't.
If you're referring to my umm... disdain for Retrospect I would have to assume they're aware of the problems running their product on production Mac OS X Servers. It's not hard to find references to people running into problems with it. If they're not aware then their support escalation process needs work.
Your method may work, but not if you have a site power or fire failure
OK, you lost me there. Which method are you referring to? replication? That's entirely viable as a protection against power or fire - locate the replica in a different datacenter/office/whatever.
want to have a cost effective solution (requires complete servers)
How valuable is your data? How much does downtime cost you?
How much does a second server cost?
or have off-site backups (to take one off-site for storage you will have to buy another server)
See my point above.
not to mention various compliancy issues
If you're dealing with any of the major compliancy issues (e.g. SOX, HIPPA, PCI, etc.) then the cost of a replication server is trivial compared to the cost of even thinking about compliance (most consultants charge thousands of dollars just to walk in the door and say 'hi').
Not to mention that any of the above compliance rules pretty much require replication, and you taking a weekly (or even daily) copy of your disk home with you is just not going to cut it.
I have been using BRU for some time now
I have a lot of respect for BRU. One of the better options out there (assuming they fixed the awful UI issues they had in early versions).
save for having to shut off the sql engine before one short backup
Thank you for validating my statement - you cannot backup an active server without terminating services that are writing to the disk.
Of course, in the replication model, you could temporarily stop replication, shut down the service, perform your backups, then restart services/replication (which will automatically catch up with the intermediate changes), while allowing clients to continue talking to the primary server.
THAT is the definition of performing backups of live data/servers without impacting users.

Share DVD-RW with mac os x server 10.4.7

Hello,
i've an iBook G3 with Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 installed and a LaCie DVD-RW attached. Is it possible to share and mount the DVD drive through internet and burn data that i've on a PowerBook G4 connected to the same network, with Toast or iTunes?
thank you
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) the last one PowerBook, 1 Go RAM

Hi
Personally I do not have mush experience with netboot
The 10.4.7 DVD you purchased is possibly the Intel version of OS X Server?
I would run the combo updater to bring your 10.4.0 version up to the latest and then see if netboot works
You can download the updater from here-
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxserver10410comboupdateuniversal.htm l
Edit-
Whoops you will need the 10.4.7 combo update first before using the above updater, get it here-

MySQL 5.1.40 compatible with Mac OS X Server 10.6?

I would like to upgrade from the default 5.0.82... On the MySQL download page for 5.1, only up to Mac OS X Server 10.5 is listed as compatible.
Has any here experienced in problems when upgrading to MySQL 5.1.40 on Mac OS X Server 10.6?
...Rene

As a follow-up, I've installed MySQL 5.1.41 -- no complaints from the installer, all the binaries went where expected: /usr/local/mysql. Now, I'm wondering how to hook-up the Server Admin MySQL service to this newly installed MySQL instead of the bundled version.
Any one do this yet?

Best practice to host websites on xserve with mac os x server leopard.

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to optimize the xserve to host multiple joomla sites...
Can some one help me with "hidden manuals or using your experience" about best practices out there...!!
It'd be great on your part...
Cheers

Erm, Joomla site hosting 'just works' with Leopard Server site virtualisation and the built in mysql.
If you want the best practice try Mac OS X Server Essentials Second Edition which has chapters about setting up multiple web sites.

Problems with Mac OS X Server and webperfcache...

I'm running Mac OS X server 10.4.11 and I'm trying to get mod_rewrite to work (thus far unsuccessfully). As part of my debugging strategy I want to turn everything around apache off and start pulling things apart to see if I can get them to make sense. When I turn the web performance cache off on all my sites using the site administration utility, apache gets a bus error when it attempts to restart. When I turn web performance caching back on, apache continues to get a bus error. Reboots, et al. don't clear up the problem and all I can do is go back to my system backup and bring up the previous day's version, which I can currently live with.
Has anybody seen this before? Alternatively, has anybody had problems getting mod_rewrite to work and can give some advice. I'm doing pretty much everything that works on other U*x based systems and has worked before, but the lack of control over the ports used by the web sites on my system is problematic and I would, at the very least, like to be able to turn off webperfcache.
Thanks in advance,
Dick Munroe

I am actually going to be doing almost exactly the same thing in the next 1-2 weeks. My plan is to make the OS X server a BDC on the domain, then promote it to PDC and retire the Windows Server 2k3 PDC.
I have 1 Win2k3 PDC and 1 Win2k3 (64-bit) Terminal Server. My main worry is whether the PDC is handling the licence CALs for the TS.... if it is, that will interfere with the plan.
Email me and let's discuss this off-line.
Thanks,

Can't see volumes with Mac os x server install

I'm having a problem installing MAC OS X Server on a RAIDed MAC PRO (3 drives @ RAID 5: Here are the steps that I have done so far with no luck: created a RAID level 5 with RAID utility from CLIENT OS install cd that came with mac pro. Created one giant volume with the entire contents of disk space on the RAID with the CLIENT OS install cd/RAID utility also. Rebooted, the MAC PRO, ejected the CLIENT OS cd, inserted MAC OS X server install CD. When I get to the screen where I choose my volume to install the OS on, I can't see any volumes. I was told by Apple and CDW (reseller) to go to disk utility and do an ERASE on the volumes, that should format the drive and should be seen by the OS X Server install. It didn't work. It's interesting that I can install the normal client OS after creating my RAID, Volumes, etc... But the OS X Server install DVD doesn't see the volumes during the install process, OR using disk utility from the OSX server install disk, but disk utility on the MAC OS X client CD sees it fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

Does Apple support their RAID card in Mac Pro using Server? or does Server need to be updated? Minimum requirements for Mac Pro RAID card is 10.4.10.
You could try the cheat method: install everything on a single drive and clone it and see if it works.
From a discussion yesterday or Monday, only Apple drivers are supported on the Mac Pro (firmware?) and not 3rd party retail drives (a bummer) so you've got nearly $2000.

Mac as web server

I am trying to set up a web site for my students using my computer. According to my Missing Manual it should be as easy as turning on web serving and providing my computer address. This isn't happening, so I've missed something! When testing the address a 'Server is not responding' message appears. I have a broad band connection to my AirPort Express. Can anyone help?
Thanks

If the Express is acting as the router, you have to tell it to forward the port to your machine (port mapping).
From Airport Utility help:
Directing network traffic to a specific computer on your network
To ensure that requests are properly routed to your web, AppleShare, or FTP server, or a specific computer on your network, you need to establish a permanent IP address for the server or computer, and provide “inbound port mapping” information to the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule.
To set up inbound port mapping:
Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a computer using Mac OS X, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows.
Select the device you’re setting up, and then click Manual Setup. Enter the password if necessary.
Click Advanced in the toolbar, and then click Port Mapping.
Click the Add button and choose a service from the Service pop-up menu (for example, Personal File Sharing).
Enter the IP address of the server in the Private IP Address field.
To use port mapping, you must configure TCP/IP manually on the computer that is running the web, AppleShare, or FTP server.
For more information about port mapping, see the document “Designing AirPort Networks Using AirPort Utility,” located at www.apple.com/support/airport.
I assume you enabled web serving through the Sharing pane of System Preferences so that the firewall will be automatically configured appropriately? If not, you'd need to take care of that.
Don't forget to make sure the machine is set to never sleep.

How to create web applications with the LabVIEW web server

Wonderful Forum,
I've noticed that sometimes it can be tricky for LabVIEW users to learn how to create their own custom web clients using the LabVIEW web server. I created a LabVIEW web development community group and wrote some tutorials to teach the basics of creating web clients using HTML, Javascript, and AJAX. The idea is that LabVIEW users without any web background can quickly look at some tutorials and examples to get started on their own projects.

Hi Joey,
A great idea! I recently presented at a local user group meeting about my WebSockets API (see the links in my signature). I've uploaded the presentation and the demo code I gave to our UG here.
I think the barrier to entry is with needing to know the web languages (e.g. html/css/js) as well as writing your LabVIEW code. I have joined the group and look forward to seeing some interesting content on there! Certainly some demos of using AJAX to make requests to Web Services and do something with the data (e.g. display on a graph) would be a good place to start.

Dell PowerVault MD1000 with Mac OS X Server 10.5 (mac pro with fiber connec

Hey Guys. Its time that i add a bulk amount of storage to our mac network.
Currently Our network consists of one mac server which is a Mac Pro with Mac OSX Server 10.5 installed on it with 4 x 750GB Hard Drives with a couple of client machines. I now need to add atleast another 6TB to the network. This needs to be seen as the server as one drive so that 6TB needs to be raid prosume (raid 5)
Now in the Mac Pro server we have a Fibre Card that we dont currently use with 2 slots. My Plan is to buy a Dell PowerVault™ MD1000 (http://configure.euro.dell.com/dells...ulmd1000sata) and put in the amount of hard drives i require into the Dell Storage.
Would this work. If i bought the Dell PowerVault™ MD1000, would i beable to hook this upto the mac server and use it as a storage drive? Although i do no networking. Im still very new to this.
Ideally im looking for something similar to an Xserve Raid, but with out the Apple price tag on the outside if you guys no what i mean.
Best,
Nathaniel

You would at least need a SAS/SATA controller - preferably a hardware RAID one, much like the one bundled with this unit - but it also needs to be OS X compatible.
I would look for something that is known to work, not something you "cobble" together.
The FibreChannel card does you no good if you haven't got a device with FC ports.

Issues with Mac OS X Server 10.4.8 and Windows File sharing

We are having lots of issues with our SMB share on Mac OS X Server 10.4.8. The main issues are the following:
- Group ACLs seem to not work properly, and I have had to add dozens of manual permissions on a per-user basis
- Often, users open a file in read-only mode, without any reason, and can't modify it
- Often, users open a file with full write access, but then cannot save it and have to use a "save as function".
After having looked all over the Internet and on the Apple's discussions forum, it seems like this issue has been around for quite some time now:
http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?forumID=702&threadID=&q=smbANDpermissions&objID=f702&dateRange=thisyear&userID=&numResults=15&rankBy=10001
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1546867&#1546867
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=647251
And no real answer/solution has been provided by Apple yet.
I also looked on Samba related pages, and it seems like these issues were Samba related (both ACL/OpenLDAP and Microsoft Office file handling issues), and the current version of Samba (3.0.23c) seem to have solved lots of issues in these areas:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.0.23c.html
Apple ships Samba 3.0.10 (16 Dec 2004) with 10.4.8, which makes the shipping version at list 15 versions (and 18 months) behind the current Samba release (30 Aug 2006).
People within the company are obviously quite unhappy with the situation and beyond me looking like a fool for migrating from Windows Server to OS X, I now need to find a solution to the issues.
I would like to know what is the official and Apple recommended way to solve this issue.
Kind regards,
Pejvan
It seems like Apple is totally ignoring the issues, users are facing with SMB shares, while their emphasize as a selling point how OS X Server is a great "windows file" server.

Hiya
Thanks for the reply.
>Is there a UPS involved?
I wish there had been. I might not be having to deal with it now! :-)
>If you boot from the Install Disc & use System Profiler there, does the Same RAM situation? Did you physically >check those slots? Thinking maybe the OS is kicking them out on bootup?
I've had the following suggested to me on another forum - "My guess on the RAM error is this. You have a processor that wants the RAM to be dual channeled and since it reads both A slot are populated it wants both B slots to be populated. Remove A2 and put it in B1"
But unless it is degrading performance I'll probably just leave it.
> Still can't get it to boot from the Clone holding the Option/alt key at bootup?
I can get it to boot from the Clone using the option key but it's a pretty random event. I can try for ages and then suddenly it'll work. Or it may work first time. It does seems to work more easily after a PRAM zap. The funny thing is that once it is booted up it will re-start in any way I want it to (the boot volume, the clone, a disk, single user mode etc). It is just hard to boot from a full shutdown.
I'm thinking that if I ca get the start-up issue fixed then I can fix the RAID issue at my leisure and even add the hard-drive that the clone is currently on to the RAID array.
Thanks again.

So confused with Mac's web server MYSQL setup
