Upgrade mysql in Mac Os Server Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Hi
The built in mysql server on Mac Os Server Snow Leopard 10.6.8 that I have bought is 5.0, I need to upgrade it to 5.5, how do I do that?
I followed these instructions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4006
Everything went smoothly except that the server is not upgraded still the same version.
Thanks

Chris is right. The only way, you can upgrade to 5.5 is by doing it manually. Apple will probably update to a later version with Lion. But MySQL version updates have been rare in the past.
Installing a different version is pretty straightforward, but you can not use SA anymore and have to configure the php, apache in the correct way. There are plenty of links out there which can help you.
So long.

  • How to upgrade Mac mini server Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion

    Trying to upgrade Mac mini server running Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I downloaded Mountain Lion and about to install but a warning prompt tells me server functionality will be lost until server.app is applied. What is involved in doing that?

    What's involved?  Buy and load OS X Server; that's now a Mac App Store app.
    That'll get you Server.app.
    Server.app is the GUI tool that is used to manage recent versions of OS X Server, along with (increasingly) the command line management of the features that are not exposed through the Server.app tool.

  • 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?

  • Fonts are slightly off position after upgrading to new Mac OS X Snow Leopard

    I just upgraded from a Macbook that was using OS X Tiger to a new Macbook with OS X Snow Leopard. Now, when I open my flash files on the new computer, they are rendering the fonts slightly differently and off position. I am using the same software (Flash CS4) and the same font library. Anyone ever encounter this problem? Is there a fix for this? Thanks so much!

    You are lucky they are only slightly off!
    It seems that there is a serious problem with how the new Snow Leopard is reporting font metrics to all programs. Those from Adobe (particularily the ones for layout type like InDesign) seem to be the most affected.
    I saw somewhere that it had something to do with some version of a Helvetica or HelveticaNeue font and that apple had give there font the same internal name as a different one and that was causing the problem. Some folks seem to suggest that replacing/removing the offending font worked. Others saw the problem mitigated, but not removed.
    As far as I know the only solution is to go back to regular Leopard. But if you have a new machine that is most likely not possible.
    Sorry.

  • Mac mini server, Snow Leopard, Linksys E4200, 802.11n

    Hi,
    I have mac mini server and wifi router linksys e4200.
    Something goes wrong after software update on mac mini. For clarify I updated a firmware on E4200 too but I think that is not a problem.
    Now I can't get full speed from 802.11n mode.
    My download speed extemely decreases from 160Mbit(always before update) to 27Mbit
    My router supports 3 modes of 802.11n
    1. Mixed
    2. Only Wireless-A
    3. Only Wireless-N
    It always was in mixed mode on 802.11n befare. That's mean it supports b/g/a/n
    I switched it to 'Wireless-N' and can't get it work. My mac mini shows me the wifi network but it can't connect to that network.
    Then I turned my router in Wireless-A. Now I can connect to wifi network but my download speed always no more 27Mbit
    Also these results I see in Mixed mode.
    As I understand my N mode does not work.
    Another strange thing the System profiler shows me that my AirPort does not suppor N mode.
    How to fix it?

  • Mac Mini Server Snow Leopard Help {connecting remotely}

    Hi,
    I just purchased a MacMini SnowLeopard server. I admit to not know all that much about setting up a network but I am pretty well versed in other osx matters. anyway...
    My primary use for the server is file sharing between three offices (chicago / new york / atlanta). I connected a monitor and a keyboard, set up the mac mini, installed server admin software on my machine and was able to connect locally. Hes where I get lost - Now i am not local to the server and I am not sure how to connect. Sorry if this is some elementary stuff, its my first time.
    Is there a comprehensive guide / pdf to setting up the MacMini Server?
    thanks in advance
    Josh

    I'm at home so this will be a rough draft to get you started. OSX supports FTP. You can enable FTP under the sharing tab in preference. When everything is set up properly you should be able to read and write files to the server for others to access. Now, if you want actual desktop access to the server from those machines you will want something like Team Viewer.
    For scenario 1, goto http://www.macinstruct.com/node/152 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1549
    The first link shows you how to set up dynadns which will make your device available even if your IP changes. The other link shows you how to set up FTP and user accounts in os x 10.5 +
    Hope this is enough to get you started to where you can do it on your own.

  • Mini Mac 10.4.11 to Mini Mac Server Snow Leopard

    Im interesting in getting a 2010 mini mac with server.
    BUT I have a mini mac 10.4.11 with photoshop, lightroom,etc. (Actions,history, etc)
    I know that I can't transfer from 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard, Do I HAVE TO upgrade the Snow Leopard onto my OLD Mini Mac 10.4.11 and then get Firewire Cable to trasfer my Applications such as Photoshop and Lightroom over no problem?
    It would be a pain in the a** to do all over again with those install adobe,etc!
    Hope theres something to make my life abit easy!
    Cheers!

    No, you do not have to upgrade the older Mac mini to Snow Leopard in order to migrate your stuff to the new mini. However, Adobe products are some of the hardest to migrate because they have files spread all over the place and sometimes they do not all get migrated. Many folks find that everything works better with a fresh install on the new computer with 3rd party applications, like Adobe.
    Your older Mac mini may have FireWire 400 and the new Mac mini has FW800, so you will need the proper cable, FW400 to FW800 to connect the two minis with FW. But you can also migrate over a wireless connection or an Ethernet connect as well. The latter two are just slower than FW.

  • Direct Upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.6 Using Mac OS X Snow Leopard Upgrade

    Can I upgrade my MacBook (Intel Core 2 Duo) directly from Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) to 10.6 (Snow Leopard) using the retail upgrade version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard?

  • 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.

  • HT2513 What version of iCal do I need to use with Mac OS X Snow Leopard?  I upgraded to OS X 10.6.3 and my iCal 3.0.8 won't open.

    I just upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.3 and now my iCal 3.0.8 won't open at all.  What version do I need to or should I upgrade to and where do I find it? 

    The version installed with Snow Leopard since iCal is part of OS X. If you are trying to use iCal from a different drive and version of OS X, then it won't work. If the installed version of iCal in Snow Leopard is the wrong version, then there was a problem. Delete the wrong version then reinstall Snow Leopard:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
