Sync custom server no URL field

In "Set up Sync" Window, "Create a new account" then server: "Select a custom server" -> No field displayed to input server URL. It may be relevant that I get an "unable to read from file" message from FF at startup time.

I have WSGI set up and followed the how-to, but one thing I didn't find clear: if I have built the server in the default folder name of "server-full", where do I point the document-root? What I want to do is copy the required files to the virtual server's root folder but I can't find anything which tells me which files are required for runtime, as opposed to build. Does that make sense?
AFAICS, FF is looking for the user.py file but the only instances of that are buried in the "deps" and "local" subfolders of "server-full".

Firefox Sync custom server fails - invalid HTTPS certificate

Windows XP SP3, Firefox 3.6.8.
Using a custom Sync server, the Weave minimal server written by Toby Elliot. Firefox Sync 1.4.4 extension is crapping out at the setup stage.
I've got a self-signed SSL certificate behind my web server, since it's for my personal use. I have the Sync extension on a couple of other Firefox installations, grandfathered through a few versions since Weave. Those extensions work and I can sync, no problem.
So the problem is not with my server itself, or with my username, or with my password. As I said, all three work fine with other Firefox installs.
This new setup process won't let me get past the "invalid HTTPS cert" error. Must I sign my cert with a certificate authority of my own, or will even that be marked as invalid?
Any guidance would be appreciated.

This can be fixed by browsing to the site and accepting the cert first but on my HTC incredible the buttons are off the screen and I can't scroll to them.....MOZILLA Please help!
Thanks and keep up the good work,
Peter

Sync Setup - Custom server – valid server URL

Unter Tools > Set up sync > Server > "Use a custom server ..."
Dort wird leider keine meiner eingegebenen URLs als korekt angesehen. Es erscheint immer der test "Pleas enter a valid server URL" . Ich habe diese eingaben getätigt.
http://localhost:5000/
http://localhost:5000
localhost:5000/
localhost:5000
localhost
Der Server liegt auf localhost port 5000.
Ich hoffe ihr könnt mir helfen.

If you follow the "strong recommendation" to use the Weave Minimal server make sure to watch out for these pitfalls. Took me a while...
# Don't try to create a new account in Firefox. You must create the account on the command line on the server.
# Don't forget to take note of the long string printed by the create_user script, that's your SyncKey, and you need it later.
# In the server URL field in the "sign in with existing account" dialogue, you must enter a trailing slash, ie. if you installed Weave Minimal at https://myserver/weave, you must enter this at https://myserver/weave/
Good luck. It does work!

Weave on N810 with a custom Server

hello, I want to "weave" using my custom server. I also set up everything and it works with Firefox on the PC. But how can I setting this server in "weave" on Fennec? I find only points for username, password and the secret phrase.
== Extensions installed: ==
Weave sync 1.1

Hi, you must to go to [http://example.com about:config] page in fenec and set the option <code>
extensions.weave.clusterURL
</code> to url of your server. Then set username, password and secret phrase in standard configuration window. I tried this in fenec for Windows mobile and it works.

Firefox sync error server incorrectly configured

The very first time I loaded firefox on my laptop (which i bought only a couple months ago) the syncing worked just fine.
After i dont know how much time i started getting errors that the syncing was failing. I tried to reconfigure the syncing properties but started getting the error server incorrectly configured. I scoured the net looking for answers following all the troubleshooting that I could find.
One thing I notice is that when i choose I have an account it is supposed to load a key that i can use on my already synced devices but that never actually populates and it immediately kicks me to the user name password and sync key screen. This issue remained throughout the duration of all the troubleshooting below. Additionally I cant even create a new sync account on that pc as it fails everytime.
I have done the following in a effort to resolve this issue.
I created a new sync account using one of my other pcs
I added a pc that was never on the sync account to it to verify it does it fact sync
i uninstalled firefox 4 separate times deleting all the folders and even as far as the registry keys
i tried using a lan connection vs wifi
i updated windows
My computer;
I have a lenovo ideapad with windows 7 and 8 gigs of ram with a amd processor

please help I have spent countless hours trying to fix this.

One addition note: in my own situation, I checked my about:config and saw my sync server's URL (https://scl2-sync42.services.mozilla.com/ ). I entered it into my address bar and got the following message:
"server issue: database is not healthy"
(quotes were included) I've seen no mention of such a phrase in a Google search, so I assume that no one else has reported any such thing.
Going into my about:config, I deleted the URL and it synced just fine!

The URL field for iPhone Calendar Events is missing?

iCal on my Mac and my MobileMe Calendar both include a URL field for Events. I don't see the URL field on my iPhone Calendar events??? Am I missing something. I can't automatically have that link sync from iCal or MobileMe? I don't want to always have to manually move the URL into the Notes field.
This is a very annoying - Apple can figure out fancy Multi-tasking and App Folders for iPhone OS 4 but couldn't figure out how to add a simple URL field for Calendar Events??

And your question is?

Custom Server Alerts

I have been writing a host of Disaster Recovery scripts for Mac OS X Server Backing up Wiki Content etc. I have finally figured out how to send Alerts to my server so I can monitor my scripts in one location and take advantage of Apple's in built Alert mechanisms.
My scripts currently do the following to send alerts to the Server:-
/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/server postAlert CustomAlert Common subject "<Subject Here>" message "<Message Here>" <<<""
Has anyone else got some tips on other fields that can be used to send a custom Server Alerts or some tips on how to do this more simply?

As far as I know, that's the field that is possible to send.

IPhone, .mac & iCal - URL field problem

I've noticed (b/c I need this field) that my iPhone doesn't show up the URL field (that is present on my various iCals). I've got around this by including the url I need by adding that to the 'notes' field - but why doesn't it sync or show up on the iPhone?
Does anyone have success in getting the url field to show up in the iphone's ical (to match the desktop/portable) version?

edit: I don't think I was as clear as I could be:
1) creating a new event in an iCal, including the url field
2) syncing across multiple macs (success) & iPhone (success) yet neglects to include the url field - just the 'notes' field

"there was a problem connecting to the server. URLS with the type 'file' are not supported"

i have a new macbook pro 13" and every 6 minutes or so it pops up a window that says "there was a problem connecting to the server. URLS with the type 'file' are not supported". it never seems to cause any problems but is supremely annoying. how can i make this come to an end?

I tried someone's solution of taking another external disc and plugging it in, then when it showed up and time machine asked if I wanted to use it or that someone might be trying to trick me, I chose not use it. Then I shut down my computer, plugged in the original Lacie, and rebooted the computer and all seems to work fine now-- the Lacie appears on my desktop and all seeems to be in working order. Who knows why or anything else,- as weird as it gets- but for now things seemed fixed--- maybe others can try this too-- it worked for me so far.

Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
You're ignoring context. On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers. The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies. Then came Lion. The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest. (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable. (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems. I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there. Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
The people helping here are all volunteers. None of them is being paid for the time they spend here. They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities. It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

Report Server Web Urls

Hi,
SQL 2008R2 (Standard)
Windows Server 2012
Having problems accessing SSRS on a new commissioned SQL server. In the "Web Service URL" page of the "Reporting Services Configuration Manager", I'm clicking on the link next to the label "Report Server Web Urls". I'm
prompted for a domain username/password, none of which appear to work - the credentials box just keeps reappearing.
I know these credentials are OK as one of them is my own domain username/password.
There is nothing around this time in the event log or the SQL server log(s), however there are a number of these much earlier on:
Login failed for user '***\*****'. Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
I have since rebooted the server and tried again, same result but there is nothing of value in the logfile
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles
Or in the logfiles available from SSMS.
Any ideas?

Hi The real Slartibartfast,
According to your description, when you tried to access SSRS on a new server, you got the error message: Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors. [CLIENT: <local machine>].
State 11 corresponds to “Valid login but server access failure”, which means that SQL Server was able to authenticate you, but weren't able to validate with the underlying Windows permissions. It could be that the Windows login has no profile or that permissions
could not be checked due to UAC. To troubleshoot the problem, please refer to the following steps:
If the login is directly mapped to the list of available logins in the SQL instance, then check if the SID of the login matches the SID of the Windows Login.
Turn off UAC or running SSMS as administrator.
For more information about specific Login Failed error messages, please refer to the following blog:
