Tiger Server and Snow Leopard Server

I have 2 servers. 1 is an old tiger server and the other a snow leopard. When I try to connect to either in the workgroup app. I am getting and error 14105 line 2334 error and the app unexpectedly quits. I want to be able to have a share point on the old server without users having to log in again. I would assume you could use LDAP for users but I am relatively new the MAC OSX servers. Thanks

No progress yet. Have tried a lot of things with preferences on the server. I have confirmed with another snow leopard machine that this is not related to the machine in any way. I have not yet had a chance to test it on another Tiger server but given the fact that you are seeing it as well I would say there is a problem with the two operating systems cooperating.
As I said, I do have a temporary workaround. If you do a save as with the document, choose to overrite the original it works and then lets you continue to work on that file and save for that session. After you close the file and reopen the problem returns but at least for that session you are fine.

Lion server or Snow Leopard Server?

From a quick check of postings here, my question of whether to use Lion Server or Snow Leopard server on a Mac Mini for a small office, looks to be "stay away from Lion server" Snow Leopard server just works and is easier to support.
Most of these posts are from 2011, has anything changed where someone can say Lion is now a much better server choice now than considering Snow Leopard Server?
It seems that most posters feel Lion server is a real step backwards, is this the case?
Thanks in advance - Lewis

Which services have been removed or depreicated?
You have to bear in mind that 'removed' or 'deprecated' only really means 'no longer bundled and supported by Apple'. Just because Mac OS X Lion Server doesn't ship with a foobar server that doesn't mean you can't download and install your own foobar server. It just won't be integrated into the Server Admin apps.
For example, Lion Server no longer ships MySQL Server. So download and install your own copy. It's not like the GUI apps gave you any control over the MySQL anyway, other than starting it up and controlling the network ports.
Likewise for print server. Some of the advanced print features such as quotas have been removed from the GUI, but you can implement them yourself.
Likewise with QuickTime Streaming Server, where the functionality is little more than a web service.
What features that have been enhanced?
Lion Server has simplified the setup of a server for small workgroups with simple requirements. If that's you then the whole experience may be enhanced since you're not swamped with a slew of options that you don't understand, or need.
I think a lot of people were also stymied by Snow Leopard Server because they expected the GUI apps to cover all the options, which was never the case.
So my original point stands. There is pretty much nothing you cannot do in Lion Server than you could do in Snow Leopard Server, it's just that it might not be supported by the GUI. Most serious server admins eschew Server Admin.app anyway since even Snow Leopard Server's admin app doesn't cover all the capabilities of some of the services, so you end up driving it via the command line anyway.

Remote Desktop and Snow Leopard Server

What is the best way to use Remote Desktop with Snow Leopard Server?
I purchased a mac mini with snow leopard server and Remote desktop so I can easily manage my 11 computers, install and upgrade software etc. etc.
The mac mini server will basically be nothing but a server.
I will use as my main computer a mac pro. Do I need to install Remote Desktop on the server and on my mac pro? What is the best way to deploy the services of Remote desktop and mac os x server?

You install Apple Remote Desktop on the machine you want to control from. In this case, install on your Mac Pro. All you have to do on the clients (controlled Macs) is enable remote management in the System Preferences under Sharing. Just make sure that all your controlled Macs are up to date on their ARD version (v3.3.2) which can be taken care of from Software Update.

TLS and Snow Leopard server issues

I have a customer with Snow Leopard server running mail services. A few clients cannot email them due to what we think is a TLS related issue. Their host has TLS enabled for the mail server and they receive the below error message when sending to my customer:
15:27:41.044 3 SMTP-406902(domain.com) failed to establish a secure connection with [xx.xx.xx.xx]:25. Error Code=X509: signature algorithms do not match.
The host that cannot send seems to think it's a Postfix configuration issue but I don't know where to begin. It's not a firewall issue as we've tried that with no success.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

You are in the Leopard Server section, better to direct your question to the +Snow Leopard+ Section.

VPN Server in Snow Leopard Server not accepting connections

I've got some issues with a new Snow Leopard Server, running on a Mac mini Server, and VPN.
I have a Linksys WRT310N performing router duties. I have enabled the VPN Passthrough in the router's configuration pages (IPSec, PPTP and L2TP all Enabled). In the Applications and Gaming section, I have enabled ports 1723 (TCP and UDP) and 1701 (TCP and UDP) to go through to the mini Server. In order to have the VPN Passthrough enabled, I have to have the SPI Firewall enabled on the router.
I have both PPTP and L2TP enabled on the Server. When I first tested it, everything worked.
Within 24 hours, it stopped working, and I can't work out why.
On the Server, I can see in the logs the following messages: (server name and IPs changed to protect the guilty)

Well, this didn't last long. The VPN is already down. Cannot connect to it again.Very Frustrating.

Jetphoto Server on Snow Leopard Server - Need help.

Folks, I recently setup a machine using Snow Leopard Server and migrated our jetphoto server (http://www.jetphotosoft.com/web/?s=product_server) to this machine. I cannot get it to work. It worked perfectly on Leopard client.
I enabled my php5 module. I just don't know what to do on this one. I'd appreciate any help getting this going.
Essentially I downloaded the jetphoto server 1.3, moved the jpserver folder to the correct level of the webserver folder and attempted to load it in Safari.
All I get is:
Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

Snow Leopard and Snow Leopard Server system differences - are they critical

I need to make several virtual machines with MAC OS for QA testing. As only MAC OS Server can be virtualized, does anybody know, will it make a big difference with Desktop version of Snow leopard for testing of antivirus and firewall? The same question is actual for 10.5. Thank you in advance.
If anybody has an apple software QA experience, I would be grateful if you would share it and tell how did you solv such kind of problems.

Were you ever able to solve this problem. I'm having similar issues since upgrading to snow leopard. Four macs connect to a Windows Server 2003 for shared files. Each user has full permissions & when we "get info" it shows read & write permissions. Two of the computers were running 10.4, two were running 10.5. Everything worked properly until upgrading to snow leopard. Some files let me copy, move, delete. Others either just hang up or we get a "no permission" error. Also getting a "pdf is in use" error, even when the file/folder doesn't contain a pdf. We had our IT rep check the server who said everything is in working order. They don't represent macs any longer but feel that it's a mac problem. I would have to agree since this problem only started after the upgrade, and the one machine that was not upgraded (still running 10.5.8) is not dealing with these problems.
Lastly, I would install 10.5 back on all of the computers if I could, but the leopard disk that came with one of the computers wouldn't work with the 2 machines running 10.4 and I didn't see it available at the apple store. I'll buy it if it's still available, but why wouldn't the disks that I have work?
Thanks for any help

Leopard Server and Snow Leopard Clients

We have Leopard Servers in our school district. People are purchasing new Macs with Snow Leopard installed. Can the Snow Leopard Clients be managed reliably with Leopard Server?

Outlook 2007 has limited support for 'Internet calendars' http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA101673251033.aspx
Outlook 2003 has none.
Outlook 2010 may have more but is not out yet.
You may find add-ins but if they have their heart set on Outlook it might be better to try Microsoft Online Services which is cheap, or Windows Live Small Business which is free I think (or used to be) - that way they dont need a server at all, although their data would be 'in the cloud'.
I would tell your friend not to run mixed versions of Outlook in any case. Perhaps its time to buy 7 MacBook Pros

Hosting Software Updates for OS X Lion or Lion Server on Snow Leopard Server: instructions don't fit

I have a server running 10.6.8 and several services. Because some of the systems in my house are going to be upgraded to Lion (not the server), I want to be able to host Lion updates in addition to Snow Leopard Updates.
I followed the instructions to the letter located at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4771 to make this happen, but a majorpart of instruction 5 does not exist!
I went to find the line
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Darwin/11
in the /etc/swupd/swupd.conf file, but it does not exist. And yes, I do have root access, as I own the server.
I've searched for duplicate files with the same name, and I have had no luck.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, then what is the solution?

Solved. Thanks for the solution at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15678001.
Can a mod/admin close this please? Thanks.

Whats the deal to upgrade leopard server to snow leopard server?

HI
Does it need to be a clean install?, is there an upgrade assistant, i dont really want to install from scratch again, its just that because i have a recent xserve i qualify for the upgrade for only £7.95, which is great. Im just wondering if anyone else has done it yet.
Cheers

I upgraded over the top from 10.5.7 to 10.6.1 last night.
Xserve is new Nehalem (2.26GHz 8 Cores, 12GB RAM) Xraid attached.
Stopped all services except DNS
Cloned boot drive to spare via CCC, inserted DVD and restarted.
I updated the cloned spare disk, not my original.
Took about an hour, then restarted, once Window Manger came up, the installation post procedure kicked in and there was some trivial verbose in the bottom left hand side regarding updating services, with the normal big blue progress bar in the middle of the screen etc.
Applied 10.6.1 and others, restarted again.
Once done, I looked at all my services before starting them.
I run:
DNS
OpenDirectory
DHCP
MAIL
WEB + WEBDAV + WebMail (bout 6 site roots from memory)
AFP
SMB
MySQL
PostGreSQL
Retrospect
Other services I use are:
Joomla 1.5
Radmind
NetworkHomeDirectories
I lost my DHCP static assignments which I knew about from other people's posts.
DNS, DHCP, MySQL and OpenDirectoy came across fine.
MAIL
Mail presented me with a "wizard" walkthrough thingy, which all the settings were prefilled (assuming from the upgrade script) and so I essentially were passenger to clicking next next next... then Okay.
Did a quick Home directory login in and checked email.
I could email to myself (locally) fine, but realised after testing that I was not receiving any external mail.
Checking postmaster, I immediately had tonnes of postmaster email errors of "Postfix SMTP server: errors from <some.domain.name>... uh oh..
I grepped the mail.log for "warning" and saw smtp errors relating to zen.spamhaus.org.
I inspected my postconf settings compared to the default settings. (i.e. postconf -n versus postconf -d) to see just how the migration of my settings came across, etc.
I vi'd into my main.cf and searched for zen.
It seemed that my settings were rejecting everything from the outside world.
I removed zen.spamhaus.org and cleaned up cleaned up the mapsrbldomains entry to be just "mapsrbldomains ="
This fixed email for now, so I'll read up some more about what the settings should be and add zen.spanhaus.org back in later.
I also modified my main.cf settings to allow MS Outlook to access via imap.
apparently Outlook only sends the netbios name and not the fqdn of the client to imap servers.
Even configuring XP in the custom DNS section to include a DNS suffix, Outlook just ignored it and still sent the netbios name after it's HELO command.
I learnt the hard way that the only fix I found is a work around whereby one must modify there main.cf again:
Change:
smtpd_helorestrictions = rejectinvalidhostname rejectnon_fqdnhostname rejectinvalid_helohostname rejectnon_fqdn_helo_hostname
to:
smtpd_helorestrictions = rejectinvalid_hostname
WEB.
Well, nothing was happening here. Completely broken in every way as apache was trying to respawn after segfaulting every 10 seconds at loading the scgi_pubsub module.
Disabled that and the seqfaults stopped.
Didn't get far though as all my virtual sites were screwed.
As soon as I would start apache via ServerAdmin, all the logs within SA would vanish... (made me smile)
I ended up trashing all the migrated settings from within SA, as I had exported out a plist for web only.
All this did was re-enable the segfauts, so I deleted all the 0000domain_portip.conf files from /etc/apache/sites and started from scratch.
I knew Joomla needed to be patched to work with PHP 5.3 which I did before starting WEB service.
(used the test.zip file offered at joomla.org and applied it via command line using my good friend Matthias' (http://www.matthiasraab.com/blog/joomla-and-it/36-updating-many-joomla-sites-on- server-level.html) little unzip command. ( I did it manually though as I only have 3 Joomla 1.5.13 sites)
I vaguely remember installing Marc Linyange's PHP (5.2.x) on 10.5.7 Server to have the comple GD packages, so I went into the apache conf file and had to manually add Apple's new php mod back in, to get PHP back up. (joomla sites were downloading the php file, instead of rendering them, a dead giveaway that Apache knows nada about PHP)
After re-configuring all the sites, (while testing one at a time) my WEB was back up, and joomla seemed happy enough for my needs. (haven't gone looking for errors yet, as I'm sure they exist in the admin backend)
I haven't looked too much into webmail, but it works. Previously, I had a heap of extra plugins and vacation filters/scripts installed for my users. but I hear that's now possible via a wiki, so I'll be playing with that after hours.
I see now the default with my mail server is that you must have something in the subject line, (this gave me another mild heart attack when a user told me they couldn't send email)
EVERYTHING seems faster!
I use Network Home Directories for my own home directory (using 2009 Mac Mini with 10.6.1 also) and I've immediately seen improvements. Whether it's just a snappier 10.6 Finder, I'm not sure, but even my users are noticing it from NHD with 10.5.7 Server.
All in all. I'm very satisfied. This is the first time I've ever attempted to install over the top and I regard my result to be a great success. (I've done this sort of thing since 10.2 Server, and have always built up from vanilla installs, due to the nightmare stories I hear on these forums etc)
Started the cloning at 8pm, (only 100GB clone as most of our data is symlinked to our Xraid) and I put my head on my pillow at 3am.
Cheers,
Raoul.

IP Addresses with Airport and Snow Leopard Server

I have DNS running on my MacMini Server with a static ip address of 10.1.0.201, the dns resolves within the network. But I get a double NAT issue, I believe this might be a result of how I have setup the IP addresses.
My DSL router ip address is 192.168.1.254
My Airport
IP Address 192.168.1.1
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Router 192.168.1.254
DNS 194.72.0.114
The airport DHCP is 10.0.1.2 - 10.0.1.200
I think I should reassign IP addresses so that they are in the same subnets is that true?
Should the Airport TCP/IP be
IP Address 10.0.1.1
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Router 192.168.1.254
DNS 10.0.1.201
The airport DHCP is 10.0.1.2 - 10.0.1.200
LDAP server.home.net

Okay tried that and it didn't work, should I have the whole network on 192.168. is that the better approach?
Cheers Andrew

Zend optimizer, Php 5.3 and Snow Leopard server

I'm looking to install Zend Optimizer on Mac OS X 10.6.4 Server but it's seems
that the latest version of Zend Optimizer is not compatible with the 64-bit version
of Apache and PHP 5.3. Anybody with a solution?

The Server version is for machines that are serving small to medium to large networks. It provides various security and account management tools not available in the Client version. For a single user you don't need the Server edition. Furthermore, it's quite expensive by comparison.

Help with CF9 Standard Install and Mac OS Server (Snow Leopard Server)

Hello,
I recently purchased a mac mini server (with snow leopard server) and will be using it to host my CF9 applications. This install is WAY different than the install needed on a windows machine. I tried to install it once and somehow hosed up Apache and now I can't even get it to start up (apache). So I am having the colo company to do a full restore of the server and I took notes on the Mac Server install and below is the questions I have.
1.) Since Snow Leopard Server comes with Apache webserver, it is what CF wants to use. This is fine, I just need to know where these things are...
It is asking for the Configuration Directory: I'm guessing it is /private/etc/apache2 ? Right or Wrong???
2.) It is asking for Directory and file name of server binary: It currently defaults to /usr/sbin/httpd is this right or should I point it to another directory?
3.) It is asking for Directory and file name of server script: It currently defaults to /usr/sbin/apachectl is this right or should I point it to another directory?
It also wants the location where I can place the CFIDE. Can I place this anywhere I wish or is there a preferred location to point this to?
and finally, I have CF9 Standard, so on the mac server should I install it as a server configuration (self contained instance) or Enterprise Multiserver config. I was reading online that its better to install as an Enterprise Multiserver setup, but I don't know if this will work for me since I'm useing the standard edition.
Please Help ANYONE, if you have mac os experience and installing CF9 onto a mac server
Thanks

I have been getting this exact same problem. CF installer is somehow writing some invalid information into the httpd.conf file. I was able to replace the httpd.conf file with the default one, and was able to go through the webconnector process again and (sometimes randomly) it works. I also spent about 4 hours on the line with adobe CF support and made no progress beyond what I'll post here .
To answer your questions about file locations:
/private/etc/apache2/ for the httpd.conf files
/usr/sbin/ for both the apachectl and the httpd binaries
Although I'm able to get past where you are, and it seems to work correctly, Immediately upon adding a new site via server admin it all breaks. Coldfusion then will only work if I manually go to a cfm document. For example: http://example.com/ will give me the raw text from the (default index) index.cfm file. But typing http://example.com/index.cfm works.
I am lost here as well. After 4 hours on the phone with adobe support I would have hoped it would be an easy fix. I've completely nuked and reinstalled the server from scratch with the exact same results both times.
Does anyone have the slightest clue about what may be going on here?

Snow Leopard Server and ISP POP email

Hi there
Just wondering if the Mac Mini Server with Snow Leopard Server could manage the following:
Rather than set up my own domain for email, I am wondering if SLS can be set up to retrieve my POP email from my ISP mail server and then serve that mail using an IMAP mail box so that I can then access what were originally POp emails from anywhere.
Is this possible?

I'm facing this same problem... is there by any chance some sort of "guide" to using fetchmail and it's features? Or a GUI-interface for fetchmail?
I'll be the first to admit that I need training and such about working with OsX (server), and I'm working on that part

Problems deleting pdf's generated from files off of Snow Leopard Server

The small design studio I work at has just upgraded from G5's running 10.4 Tiger, working off Tiger Server, to new iMacs running 10.6 Snow Leopard and a Mac Mini Server, on Snow Leopard Server.
Normal working practice is to open files off the server across the network, making changes and saving them back down. Most of the time, a pdf will be generated from the file to send to the client when copy changes have been made, then saving down the pdf file to the iMac to email to the client.
The issue is now that when the pdf has been emailed, attempting to delete it brings up a warning window that 'You do not have sufficient accesses privileges to delete the file' and this then has to be done by selecting secure empty trash.
We are all registered users on the Mac Mini Server and this was not an issue we had when using Tiger.
Could anyone suggest any setting changes that would be required to get around this issue?
As a note, all the work files were originally on a older G4 being used as a sever and were copied to the new Mac Mini Server, that was set up as a new machine and was not done via transfer files.
Thanks
Ben

Hello Ben,
I'm very sorry, but this is not the correct forum in which to post your question! Universal Access is the facility for ensuring that all Mac users can benefit fully from their machines, regardless of disability.
Try Snow Leopard Server—Installation, Setup and Migration instead!
