Trouble connecting to MySQL on Mac mini server

Trying to connect to the MySQL server from a remote client. I have "allow network connections" checked, and a password set. When I try to connect from an admin computer, I am told
"Host 'macbookpro.domain.tld' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server"
The Server setup guide doesn't give much information for MySQL, besides how to turn it on.
What am I missing?

I finally found out how to do this using the application Sequel Pro recommended by MrHoffman.
The steps are basically.
1. Start MySQL
2. Install Sequal Pro on the server
3. Launch Sequel Pro and connect
4. From the Choose Database… pop-up, choose mysql
5. Select user in the left sidebar and Content from the Toolbar
6. Select the root user in this table and click the duplicate button below the table (looks like 2 plus signs)
7. Change the "host" field to be something like 192.168.1.%, where the first three octets are the same as your local network. The % is a wild card that allows a connection from any client on the mentioned network.
8. Stop the MySQL service.
9. Start the MySQL service.
10. Install Sequel Pro on your client system and connect.

  • I'm having trouble connecting Brother DCP197c to Mac Mini - it worked before Yosemite

    I'm having trouble connecting Brother DCP197c to Mac Mini - it worked before Yosemite.
    I have downloaded drivers from Brother
    I have tried searching for the printer once the drivers have been installed, but nothing...
    Not sure what else to do - any helpful suggestions are welcome.
    Thank you

    I tried the Reset Printer option - it didn't work at first but then I decided to download the drivers again... and now all is fine and dandy.
    Thanks for your help

  • Troubles with File sharing on Mac Mini Server

    Hi
    Experience crash behavior of 10.6 server on my Mac Mini with DataBox connected containing all kind of data, except the system software which is installed on the internal hard drive. All my shared volumes, about 10, generating more or less regular (about every 30 minutes) the server preferences to crash.
    The two entries in the console log are always to same for all shared volumes I have:
    19.02.10 00:07:18 Server Preferences53715 XSActionManager: Removing queued action (Zugriffsrechte lesen) due to coalescing (readSettingspath/Volumes/DataBox 2/Dumy)
    19.02.10 00:07:18 Server Preferences53715 The shared folder 'Dumy' has custom file system ACLs which cannot be displayed. Editing the permissions may replace any custom ACLs.
    Once a day, the console log shows for all services running on the server:
    19.02.10 05:37:17 Server Preferences53715 Error: The server 'Dumy.com' reported an error while processing a command of type: 'readSettings' in plug-in: 'servermgr_accounts'. Error: Error Domain=XSActionErrorDomain Code=408 UserInfo=0x107e2c650 "A network error occurred"
    Did anybody have a good idea how to overcome this and how to decode the "UserInfo=0x107e2c650"
    Thanks for taking care.

    If I understand your question correctly, is there a reason you've replaced the integrated MySQL within Mac OS X Server with a second MySQL database implementation? (That's almost inherently going to get tangled; you'll need to shut off the default implementation.)
    Or is this a Perl module you've loaded and that is now tipping over? If you haven't replaced MySQL here, then have you started MySQL and run some tests with the database itself? This to make sure MySQL is operational, and that the problem you're working on is in the Perl pieces and not in the MySQL layer?

  • Connect Windows 2000 to Mac Mini Server

    Hi all,
    I just got my new mini server and trying to setup the network for local and overseas staffs to access the files in the server. I wonder if anyone can tell me how to setup on Windows 2000 and Windows vista.
    We have static IP address and all our macbook pro laptops are running fine, except Windows laptops.
    Looking forward to any reply. Thanks a lot.

    Servers and server-oriented networks expect substantially more knowledge of the administrator. The Apple servers are among the easiest I've encountered, but they're still (far) more involved than running a client box.
    You need local DNS services. Mac OS X Server expects that.
    You need a server-grade firewall. With TC, you have a home-user widget with port-forwarding. A server-grade firewall typically offers programmable pass-through, (for this case) VPN end-point and various other features depending on your current and planned usage. Anti-malware and anti-spam and other defenses can be available. Free (open-source) and commercial firewall options exist.
    You need a business-class tier of service with your ISP, as a residential tier can and variously will be blocked by the ISP.
    Everything that's not behind a firewall or a VPN will be directly attacked. The servers I administer get attacked quite frequently, as do the external firewalls. Getting breached stinks.
    My usual approach here would be a VPN from the remote box into your server-grade Firewall (which also handles NAT and some other issues), and (via the VPN) the remote client (Windows or Mac or Linux or whatever) then appears to be directly connected to your local LAN.
    Reading material [private (on-LAN) DNS services|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436], [public (external) DNS services|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1594], [firewalls and networking|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/275], and most definitely read the [Apple Documentation|http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html].
    And while no offense is intended, it's going to be fastest to call in somebody to set this up, and as an escalation path for your organization. You probably have a business to run and customers to deal with, and networks and network security and VPN setup and such aren't something you probably want to spend your own time on; they're something you can out-source.

  • Mac Mini Server VPN-Window 7 client

    Hi,
    The VPN connection from MacBookPro to Mac Mini Server (2011 with Mountain Lion 10.8.2) VPN works like magic. But, I never had any luck with any of Windows 7 laptops. Could any one take me to a good link to the Windows 7 VPN setup instruction?
    Thank you so much in advance for your time reading this.
    Best,
    Michael

    Heh Michael
    I got this working using the settings in the screenshots below. I know I had a heck of a time trying to make it work but it does using these for me. Sometimes on the first connection it rejects the credentials, but on the second time it connects - no idea why. Hope this helps:

  • Please help. Can no longer connect to my Mac Mini Server

    Up until two days ago, my iMacs were connecting to my Mac Mini Server normally. All of a sudden I could no longer transfer files without being prompted to type my password. Enter password and nothing happened, then got an error message stating that I don't have permission to do that. Now, a day later, no acces to my server. Has anyone ever experienced this? Can anyone please help? I've read the Mac mini booklet but doesn't have any troubleshooting info. Thanks in advance.

    Hello MrHoffman,
    Thank you for the advice. I went into Terminal first and typed in your command and this is what resulted:

    serverX:~ serverx$
    serverX:~ serverx$
    I'm not very experienced with programming or coding, but this message seems to indicate that there's a problem with DNS just like you noted. I've highlighted the note in bold...What can you make of this or the logs from console below?

  • Mac mini server has suddenly stopped seeing one or the other bluetooth devices! Batteries have been changed and they will connect to an older Mac mini. Server will now only see one or the other but not both.

    My Mac mini server has suddenly stopped seeing one or the other bluetooth devices, either the wireless keyboard or the mouse( both apple products) have tried new batteries, at first it was the mouse that stopped responding, but upon rebooting the computer now the keyboard will not respond and the mouse works. Both work fine on an older Mac mini that I hooked back up to check.

    There is absolutely no reason why they should not bothe be able to connect to your WiFi network. The easiest place to start would be to reboot your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. I would also restart both the iPad and the iPhone.

  • Mac mini server cannot connect to keyboards

    Just took my mac mini server in for degraded raid. Still under warranty. Raid was setup as mirrored for redundent backup. One of the drives failed and they found that one of my ram sticks was bad. Received my mini back with a new drive , ram, and a restored os which defeated the purpose of having a mirrored raid.... Thanks.... Now i have to setup and register the computer as new and it will not find my apple wireless keyboard. I have done all the reset tricks and still doesn't connect. I spent around 2 hours trying to navigate my way through applecare over the phone but my iPhone won't stay connected to a phone call long enough to get anywhere. And when I finally do their suggestion is use a USB keyboard. I don't own a USB keyboard, haven't in a decade. There are no appointments available with the only Apple store in this area and I'm sick of talking in circles to the scripted help over the phone. Does anyone have any answers other than buy more Apple stuff just to use my Apple stuff.
    Sorry  for the edit. ios is convinced I typed in something else so I had to go through and correct all of siris spell checks.

    Have yo tried:

  • Windows 7 and Mac Mini Server not connecting

    I'm running a small design studio in Central Asia. For four years we've had a Mac Mini Server (Snow Leopard/Lion), working with three Macs, and two PCs (Windows XP) connecting, sharing files and accessing accounting software without any issues.
    Due to Windows XP being discontinued we upgraded the PCs to Windows 7 Ultimate (it was the best that was available legally locally). The Windows machines both continued to connect to the server, although getting it to work initially was harder than with XP.
    Our Mac Mini Server showed signs of dying, so this week we purchased a new Mac Mini Server with Mavericks (10.9.3). The macs in the office can see it fine, however the Windows 7 machines are unable to see the server on the network or access using the smb path. They can access the old server using smb, however in the network control panel, the old server is also invisible.
    The server has SMB/AFP enabled. The Windows 7 machines are set to recognise networks and supposedly therefore to see others. They are failing to do either. It seems like both MS and Apple changed the way they communicate pretty significantly.
    How can I get the Windows 7 machine talking with the new Mac Mini Server?
    Thanks for any advice.
    Richard

    The problem of the machines connecting seems to have solved itself today - with one small tweak to the setup.
    I inserted an underscore (_) instead of spaces into the Mac Server name, and although the Windows 7 machines still can't see the server they can now connect using SMB.
    I can't believe something so small kept me so flummoxed for so long....

  • Can't Connect to Mac Mini Server 10.8

    I want to use Screen Sharing to run a headless Mac Mini Server (late 2012) running Server.app under Mountain Lion.
    From my Mac Mini I can connect to my iMac on the same LAN and use Screen Sharing, but I can't do the opposite, which is what I need to do. This is very frustrating because the support for this key feature is just plain awful.
    Yes, screen sharing is checked under File Sharing preferences on the Mac Mini Server. And yes, both the display and the computer are set to never sleep on the Mac Mini Server.
    What must I do to connect to my Mac Mini Server from my iMac so I can run the Mac Mini Server headless?
    Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

    "Screen Sharing is currently being controlled by the Remote Management Service"
    I've been fidgeting between the Server.app server Settings tab and the Screen Sharing checkbox in System Preferences Sharing pane all day.
    I had tried "Share Screen" via Finder. After I tried "Share Screen" via Server.app from my client computer I noticed the above warning message when Screen Sharing in the server's System Preference Sharing pane was highlighted. I'm not sure which is cause or effect.
    Everything is checked on the server "Settings" tab in Server.app on the server. Only "FIle Sharing," "Remote Login" and "Remote Management" are checked on the Sharing pane in System Preferences on the server.
    Everything is checked on the server "Settings" tab in Server.app on the client. In this case, "Allow remote administration using Server" is checked and grayed out. "Screen Sharing" is checked on the Sharing pane in System Preferences on the client. (It may not have anything to do with a successful screen share connection, but it is on.)
    Everything is now working better than expected. Thanks to you both for your help!

  • Finder: connecting iMac to Mac Mini server

    Hello,
    When I connect in the Finder to the Mac Mini Server (Snow Leopard Server), it takes on our iMac Snow Leopard 90 seconds on a fixed 1 Gbps network.
    Why does it take so long ?
    Connecting our iMac with Leopard takes only a few seconds.
    Thanks,
    Hubert

    Yes.
    I just tried to connect in the finder to a Windows XP Pro PC. Before I could look at my watch, I had access to the Windows XP filesystem.
    I tried it also with my MacBook to connect to the server in the finder. Here too, it takes only a few seconds.
    I do not understand why it takes 90 seconds on the Snow Leopard iMac.

  • Mac Mini server OS 10.9.5 won't connect to Bose Bluetooth Audio Adapter

    although my iPhone 5C running iOS 8.1 sees the Bose device just fine.
    Any thoughts?  The suggestions from the Bose site are not helpful, as they assume their device will of course be seen by the Mac Mini Server.
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, resetting the PRAM, and the SMC, did not solve the problem.  Even though Bluetooth on the Mac Mini seems to be functional, I'm concerned that it only wants to allow connection to a keyboard or a mouse, or to transfer files to, say, an iPhone.  No Sound actions are available in terms of Bluetooth connectivity.
    Question:  about 10 months ago, I noted the fan high at high speeds all of a sudden, and little I could do would correct it.  So, I downloaded smcFanControl 2.5.2, and use this to keep the fan at a slightly higher level than would otherwise happen, in order to maintain the CPU temperature below roughly 50 degC.  Would running this app interfere with reset of the SMC?  Or, with full operation of Bluetooth?
    Alternatively:  would upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite provide any benefit?

  • Can't connect to Mac Mini Server

    I am setting up a new Mac Mini Server for the first time and cannot connect to it from the local network. The Mini is connected to the local network and the internet via an Airport Extreme Base Station. The server appears in the Finder of my MacBook Pro under "Shared" but will not connect. I was able to connect prior to turning on some services in Server Admin (including enabling the Firewall). I allowed the server to control the Base Station upon initial setup but was not sure if it configures and turns on it's firewall services automatically. Should I have Firewall enabled in Server Admin?

    Blankfer,
    Did you re-enable Firewall in Server Admin and then open the screen sharing ports?
    I'm still confused as to whether the Firewall in Sever Admin is only supposed to be used when the sever is acting as an internet gateway. I was under the impression that the Mini was controlling my Airport Extreme's firewall services for me in the background. After my initial configuration through Setup Assistant (including selecting the option to have the server control my Airport) the Firewall in Server Admin was not enabled. Does Firewall being disabled in Sever Admin mean I have no firewall up at all? ...I plan to have it running web and mail services so I need to make sure it's secure.
    -Thanks

  • How do I connect a PC running Windows 7 Enterprise to the Mac Mini Server?

    Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
    Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & Windows, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
    The Forums are at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology. Here is a link;
