Update InDesign Server Version on Mac OS X Server

Hi folks,
quick question - quick answer:
How can I update an InDesign Server running on an Mac OS X Server 10.5.8?

What's the best FTP server software for Mac OS X Server?

What's the best FTP server software for Mac OS X Server?
We have looked at a few different applications out there (Rumpus, CrushFTP, etc...) and are wondering what the community feels.
Apples built -in isn't robust enough. We do need some advanced features (reporting, SFTP, a web interface would be nice etc...).
Opinions?

Hi
For me it has to be RumpusFTP Server:
http://www.maxum.com/Rumpus/
It has a secure web interface - no need to open ports 20, 21. No need for dedicated FTP client software for uploading and downloading. Supports the most commonly used browsers. Multi-platform support and can be installed on a standard client OS.

How to install previous version of Mac OS X Server

I had to downgrade my comp from Maverick back to Snow Leopard. Now I can not install Mac OS X Server. App store only offering me Maverick version.
Please advice.
Cheers,
Andrei

Snow Leopard and Snow Leopard Server both predate the App Store and related software downloads.
Snow Leopard Server (OS X Server 10.6) was generally available only via DVD distribution, and there were only specific versions produced; you'd need a version that supports your particular system, or to use the streaming update to get from client Snow Leopard to Snow Leopard Server (if your system requires a later version and can't boot the server DVD directly).
Your options here are to roll in your backups, or to roll in Snow Leopard Server from either your server-specific DVD distro or from a retail Snow Leopard Server DVD distribution.
If you no longer have your distribution, you might find a Snow Leopard Server distro from the used market — you'll need a license key to activate it, and you'll want the retail distribution and not the server-specific version — or maybe directly from Apple Support folks. If you were licensed for Snow Leopard Server and had purchased directly from Apple, then you might be able to call Apple Support and get access to what you had, too.
It used to be that the per-system DVD disks around that era were grey, and the so-called retail disks — which is what you want, if you don't have your own grey disks for your system — were black. I don't have any retail Snow Leopard Server DVDs handy to confirm that coloration, though.

Sql server replication from SQL SERVER VERSION(7.0) to SQL SERVER 2005

Hi All,
We are trying to create a replication between Sql server 7.0 data to SQL server 2005 data . We tried to create a local subscription in Sql server ,when tried to connect to publisher running in Sql server 7.0 it is showing an error message
like "This Sql server vresion(7.0) is not supported" .
Could any one please help us with this issue ?
Thanks
Sandy

Hi CRM_Learner,
SQL Server version 7.0 Service Pack 4 (SP4) is the earliest version that can participate in a replication topology with SQL Server 2005. We need to verify the version of SQL Server. If you configure transactional replication with updating subscribers,
for a SQL Server 7.0 Publisher, only SQL Server 7.0 Subscribers are supported. SQL Server 7.0, 2000 was out of support in the SQL Server Forums. I suggest you install SQL Server 2005 or later version to configure the SQL Server replication.
For more information, there is a detail about using multiple Versions of SQL Server in a replication topology.

Old Web Server Software on Mac OS X Server 10.4.6?

I am wondering why my apache that is running is only 1.3.33 accordign to my webmin tool that my friend installed, the php and sql are old too.
I'm not a unix guru by any means and I want to upgrade these and enable GD etc, but I'm running 4 or more virtual servers by using the server tools and I don't want to break the builtin functionality of the server tools. Is apple going to upgrade this stuff on os x server?

Mac OS X Server ships with both Apache 1.3.33 and Apache 2.2 (in /opt/apache2).
You're more than welcome to disable Apache 1.3.x and use 2.2 if you prefer.
However, the Server Admin GUI will only currently work with Apache 1.3.x, so if you do you'll need to manage your configurations manually.

Mac Server Training for Mac OS X Server Essentials Exam

I am thinking of sitting this exam and was wondering if anyone could recommend a decent book. Which book do they use for the course? I looked for the Peachpit book but couldn't find it.
Thanks.

If you click on the Peachpit Press page here:
http://www.apple.com/software/pro/training/self_paced.html
You'll see the book you are looking for. This book is very similar to the one used in the class, and is a great way to prepare for the exam.
Also, I was impressed with the Mac OS X Server module offered by http://www.lynda.com/
Hope that helps,

What are the effects to plug-in development when updating InDesign CS version to CC version?

Will there be a CC version SDK available? Or the CS6 plug-ins can be loaded in CC version? Otherwise the plug-ins are required to be re-compiled?
Is there any official documentation about the inDesign development in CC?
Thanks a lot.

The plug-in for InDesign CS6 is incompatible with InDesign CC.
InDesign CC is a 64-bit application, Cocoa native on Mac OS.
You need to use the SDK for InDesign CC, but not available yet.

Problem after updating InDesign to version 8.0.1

After I have installed update 8.0.1 from InDesign all hyperlinks are gone in all my documents. Furthermore there seems to be a general problem with the hyperlinks panel and adding hyperlinks to textframes for example. I can add a hyperlink via right click, but the option to edit it is then inactive and the URL of the hyperlink is not displayed in the hyperlink panel. Is this a known problem? This is/was an essential part of my work and it is practical impossibel to recover all hyperlinks in all documents by hand.

I don't recall seeing anyone else report this. Try trashing the prefs: see Replace Your Preferences

How can i update our JDK version in EP 7.0 server

Dear all:
As we known,before we install any NW2004s products,we should install
Java for install Environment.
Our NW2004s EP 7.0 already installed and Go-Live.These days,we found
that our EP system auto-restart often.Through the LOG-View, we found
lots of error like"Out of Memory" and we search many SAP Notes:723909
and 718901.It seems that we should update our version of the Java
software(which locate in C:\j2sdk1.4.2_09)
So, how can i update our JDK from 1.4.2.09 to 1.4.2.15?Uninstall
older and re-install the new one?IS there effect to our EP application?
Thanks.

Hi Shao,
Usually when installing the NW system it is recommended that you install the jre in a location like C:\JRE in order to assist with the upgrade issues of the jre. Incase you havent followed a pattern like that, you could install the new jre in the same location as the old one. Please take a down time of the EP system while doing so.
P.S: Kindly assign points if your query is resolved, also close the question to assist other users narrow the search and find solutions

It is possible to upgrade snmp version 5.2.1 on MAC OS X Server

I have problema with snmp default version on mac os x server (5.2.1), I have read in snmp list (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=E1I5BWI-0000d5-SU%40sc8-sf -mysql1-b.sourceforge.net)
that could be a problem of version, I like to know how can I update to last version 5.4 with MAC OS X Server, I'm newbie in mac os X and I don't know
With Software update I have all packages updated
Thanks

Like davidh I’ve never seen any information on how to upgrade snmp, I don’t believe its possible without running the risk of breaking something else? As for finding more information if you launch Server Admin and select the Help Menu it gave this information after I keyed in SNMP:
SNMP is the abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol, a standard that facilitates computer monitoring and management. The server uses the open source net-snmp project for its SNMP implementation. While none of the server administration tools use or require SNMP, enabling it lets the server be monitored and managed from third-party software such as HP OpenView.
HP OpenView is available from here:
http://h20229.www2.hp.com/products/ovoux/download.html
You need an HP passport account to login and download the evaluation software. Looking at whats available it looks like you have to build it yourself and more than likely pay for a fully working copy. There is also more information available from here:
http://www.ciao.co.uk/HPOpenView_Extensible_SNMP_Agent_4_0_Media_and_documentation_set_5470465#productdetail
I’ve not bothered to google this further so as to provide further links as it is something you can pursue yourself.

Install Snow Leopard Server Software on non server version mac mini (2009)

Recently purchased Snow Leopard Server software to install on a early 2009 mac mini (non server version) running Mac OS X Snow Leopard. My goal is to set up and manage a server for a small group and leverage some of services from snow leopard server.
First of all, can server software be installed on a early 2009 mac min configured with Mac OS X Snow Leopard? This 2GHz Intel Core Duo mac mini has 2GB Ram and 120GB HD. Will the server software install remove the current snow leopard software or is there any special steps I need to take to get the server version software loaded on this mac mini. Any suggestions or advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes you can install it on your mini And Yes it will wipe the mini clean with a fresh install of the server software.
Suggestions ... Learn DNS there are many links on this forum to MrHoffmans very useful notes as well as many discussions about this topic , there is a steep learning curve ahead if its a first time for you !

Mac Mini OSX Server Version and installation

I am very interested in the New Mac Mini with OSX server configuration.
But I would like to know what is the difference between the "Retail" OSX server version and the "Bundled" OSX server version which came with the Mac Mini ?
Can the "Bundled" server version be installed on another intel-based Mac ( in case of hardware failure in the Mac Mini ) ?

The difference is that this is server software, it is not the Mac OS X client software for day-to-day use on a Pro or Consumer Mac.
The bundled software according to the Mac mini Server specs page is on an Install/Restore DVD. These are usually machine specific so it will not be usable by directly placing it in the ODD of another Mac, it should spit the disc out as unusable. But there are ways to connect the Macs and install the software to another Mac. However, the End User Agreement licenses the software for installation on only one Mac at a time.

Mac OS X Server: the best option?

We are an expanding small design/web creation business moving soon from 6 to 9 team members. Workstations are all stand-alone in terms of software, which ranges from Office X to full Macromedia Studio suite etc. running over a wireless 11g network and 8Mbps DSL. Macs range from G5 PPC's to latest intel chip iMacs and MacBook Pros (oh, and a Sony Vaio desktop PC) . I would be really grateful if the group would comment/confirm if Mac OS X server would be a logical step and be worth the expense - literally but also in the time required to learn/setup/run (I do have a technical background)!
I am thinking of running Mac OS X server from an existing G5 PPC (1.6GHz, 768Mb, 80HD) - have looked at the Xserve, we simply do not have the space/infrastructure for a rack solution. My reasons for looking at a OS X Server are:
- Minimise time spent on maintenance: boot all mac workstations from single OS image on the server - use this to mainatain latest updates.
- Centralise storage and backup: plan to use an external hot-swap RAID.
- Split workstations into defined groups: 'admin' (using mainly office) and 'designer' (creative software) and manage access rights to files.
- provide more integrated iCal, Mail and Address Book services (not sure what is on offer as we already do some of this via .Mac).
It makes sense to me to run network versions of core software (from the server), but I understand that this is not possible - or cost is prohibitive? We also have various individual requirements, for example people using laptops at work, home or travelling (how do they tap into the server, what would the benefit be) and also the need for considerable amounts of HD memory for the designers...
My apologies for typing so much, but wanted to give an overall status - so have I missed anything? What more can OS X Server bring to make our lives more effiecient/effective?!! I'm itching to buy a copy, but really need to justify it.
Thanks...

Hi & welcome to the forums.
running over a wireless 11g network
As designers, most likely working with large files, you will appreaciate wires if you can get them in.
I would be really grateful
if the group would comment/confirm if Mac OS X server
would be a logical step and be worth the expense -
literally but also in the time required to
learn/setup/run (I do have a technical background)!
Yes, definitely.
I am thinking of running Mac OS X server from an
existing G5 PPC (1.6GHz, 768Mb, 80HD)
Fine. Remember you have the option of a 10-user version of Mac OS X Server software. This will save you plenty of £'s.
boot all mac
workstations from single OS image on the server - use
this to mainatain latest updates.
NetBoot (as this is called) would be a non-starter over a wireless network. In any case, the time spent config'g, tweaking, troubleshooting, and downtime (due to sngle point of failure) with netboot can be extensive.
I suggest you spend your time creating a perfect, STABLE, master image, then distribute this to other machines using NetRestore. Maintain a list of changes/updates to the cleints and update your image every 6 months or so.
- Centralise storage and backup: plan to use an
external hot-swap RAID.
Good idea.
- Split workstations into defined groups: 'admin'
(using mainly office) and 'designer' (creative
software) and manage access rights to files.
Good idea. You can use WorkGroup Maanager to fine tune what users are able to see on the network, which applications they are able to use and how their desktops appear. This can be done at User, Group or Computer level.
- provide more integrated iCal, Mail and Address Book
services (not sure what is on offer as we already do
some of this via .Mac).
Mail, yes.
Unfortunately iCal & AddressBook are still non-starters in terms of multi-user sharing. Look to Leopard in Q2 2007 to update this.
It makes sense to me to run network versions of core
software (from the server), but I understand that
this is not possible - or cost is prohibitive?
Just run your apps locally. Especially if you only have wireless.
We
also have various individual requirements, for
example people using laptops at work, home or
travelling (how do they tap into the server, what
would the benefit be)
VPN is your friend.
Also, look into Mobile Home Directories which will sync your users's data to/from the server at each login. When they are awy from the office they will have all their files with them. And you will have a server-side copy for your backups.
My apologies for typing so much, but wanted to give
an overall status - so have I missed anything?
Probably
On the fly, I would say look outside of OSX Server for your mailserver.
FTP services are also weak in OSX Server.
There are lots of 3rd party options for both, though.
What
more can OS X Server bring to make our lives more
effiecient/effective?!! I'm itching to buy a copy,
but really need to justify it.
Full server documentation is here at http://www.apple.com/server/documentation/ Take a look at Appendix B of the Getting Started guide for a practical example of how a setup like yours may be config'd.
Hope this helps,

WebObjects and Apache2.2 on Mac OS X Server (Snow Leopard)

I have been configuring a new Mac Mini Server with the latest version of Mac OS X Server.
Typically we have been using Max OS X (non-server) in development environment and were following our instructions on how we set up all our boxes. In setting up our new installation on the "server edition" we came across something that caused up some pause.
After we got our WebObjects application launched through JavaMonitor, it attempted to open Safari, but "page" could not be found. We suspected that that WebObjects Adaptor was not being utilized.
Looking through the Apache logs we found this:
script not found or unable to stat: /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/WebObjects
We checked our httpd.conf (Apache 2.2.17). This file is slightly different that the one for our generic (non-server) Mac OS X Snow Leopard installations. It even mentions that in the comments at the top of httpd.conf file that ships with Mac OS X Server
We had included the following as we normally do -
Include /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/apache.conf
But in order to get WebObjects to kick in, we needed to comment out the line
# ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/
Once we did that... boom... app was working fine. Since all that is running on this box is WebObjects and Oracle, we are happy with this solution. Moral of the post is that the httpd.conf file supplied is different between "Mac OS X" and "Mac OS X Server" editions.
Note: We do not even see the ScriptAlias line in our non-server httpd.conf.
We were clued into this from a previous discussion on here (and its related replies). http://discussions.apple.com/message/12786408#12786408
Hope this helps someone else.

If you have another administrative username (such as the Open Directory (OD) Administrator (diradmin) username, then you can use that to reset the password.
If you don't have another administrative password including a local administrator and if it's your Open Directory Administrator password that you've forgotten, then you'll want to follow HT1194 Mac OS X Server: How to reset the Open Directory administrator password for the sequence used to reset the OD access. (The header of that article lists up through 10.5, but the text also lists 10.6.)
Once you're back in, you'll probably want to consider adding a back-up directory administrator account with an obscure password, and write down that password and stick it in a fireproof safe somewhere, or maybe in a note in your Keychain of your own OS X client system, or some other secure location. I do that with a few servers, storing that data with full-disk copies of the server backups, etc.
