Upgrade to ML10.8.2 Server kills Wikis and leaves Calendars unusable

Hi there,
I upgraded a few weeks ago Mac Server from 10.7 to 10.8 and lost almost all Wikis and have a crippled Calendar service. Although in the Server.app both services (Calendar, Wiki) are "on", when I click on the wiki page on "Wiki Settings" in the Configuration menu:
I get a greyed out Calendar option:
The calendar is running fine and I can access it via https, but the wiki server somehow cannot get to it.
Any help would be highly appreciated on both fronts: 1) the lost wikis and 2) wiki calendars
Thanks!

This was driving me nuts with since some users could not see the calendars I had set up for them under the "More" dropdown on the Wiki. It probably applies to the Wiki creator as well.
If you are using SSL and have a certificate, you MUST log into the Wiki pages with https://<server URL> for you to see the calendar. http:// does not seem to work with calendar at all.

Upgrade Guest OS to Windows Server 2012 R2 and use VHD from 2008 R2

I have a WS 2008R2 virtual machine (Host WS 2012R2) with two vhd/vhdx (Drive C: and D:). I want to upgrade this Guest OS to 2012 R2 by installing a new VM. Is it possible to create the new VM and just attach the Drive D: vhd/vhdx formatted on old 2008R2?
What about NTFS issues? Will I be able to use 2012 R2 new features like deduplication on this Drive D:?
Thanks.

Can 10.5.8 OD master be used with 10.6.2 wiki and iCal services?

Hi folks,
I am having a hard time getting OD users on 10.5.8 to login to 10.6.2 iCal and wiki. Is this setting up supposed to work? I can't find any info from the Apple's OD Administrator's guide.
Set up :
* one 10.5.8 server running OD master
* one 10.6.2 server running wiki and Apache
* one 10.6.2 server running iCal and Apache
* one 10.6.1 server running Mail service
The server for Mail does not bind to OD for authentication, and after assigning each OD user in group "com.apple.access_mail" all users can connect to mail service and get/send emails. Authentication is working perfectly.
However, based on the same OD master and user accounts, using the same connection methods (enabled iCal and Blog services in 10.5.8 server, without turning them on, and assigning users to both services in SACL) in the Wiki server and iCal server won't let any OD users to log in. In wikid's error log, I can see the following error msg :
http://HTTPChannel,19,127.0.0.1 Unhandled Error
Traceback (most recent call last):
Failure: twisted.cred.error.UnauthorizedLogin: Bad username or password: <username>
Here are the questions :
* can 10.5.8 OD be used for 10.6 wiki and iCal service? Or must I configure 10.6.2 OD (either in another server or in the same host?)
* must the servers for wiki and iCal bind to OD in order for the services to work?
* must Kerberos be running for the services to work?
Thanks for any suggestions!
Charles

A 10.5.8 OD master should be fine for wiki and calendar services on machines running 10.6.2. However, you do need to have your servers hosting wiki and calendars to be bound to your OD master. You can enable Kerberos for iCal if you'd like, but it is not necessary.

Wikis and blogs are currently disabled..... but I enabled them.

Brand new Xserve, Server version: 10.5.2
I'm going out on a limb here and admitting that I have no idea what I'm doing. My employer bought into the "so easy a non tech person can do it" idea and bought an xserve to have wikis and blogs. The idea is to have one web page with links to departmental wikis and blogs.
I set it up as an Open Directory Master, created four dummy user accounts in Workgroup Manager, a Group called Blog and put those four dummy users into that Group.
Back in Server Admin, I enabled web services and started it. The default Apple provided default home page shows up fine when I go to the ip address in a browser window. Went back into Server Admin, chose the site I just added, clicked the Sites button, clicked Web Services and enabled blog, wiki and blog, calendar, clicked Save. Stopped web service and restarted it.
When I open the page in a web browser I get the Getting Status.... and then it says wikis and blogs are disabled, use server preferences (I can't find that anywhere) or Server Admin to enable. I thought I did enable it in the web services pane.
Any advice besides head for the hills?
Thanks in advance.

Changing the owner/group of wikis...
The Apple website for OS X.5 Server includes a basic primer on command line editing, you should go through it. That aside, you will need to know your administrative (root) password to accomplish this, if not, you won’t get past the first ‘su’ command. The following instructions assume you are using a completely ‘default’ setup and not trying to have your collaboration folders on another file system or anything tricky.
(FYI- as far as I know, none of the instructions I will put into the quotations will include the numeral one, they are all lower case “L”’s if it’s hard to read in this font.)
1. Open the Terminal and drag the window as big as you’d like. Type “su root” and enter your root administrative password. Be very careful from this point forward as you can do a lot of damage.
2. Type “cd /library”
3. Type “ls -l”
4. Look for the line which lists “Collaboration” in the right-hand column, it should read something like: “drwxrwxr-x 6 _teamsserver _teamsserver” in the first few columns. Everything should match except perhaps the number ‘6’. “teamsserver” is both the owner and the group for this directory.
5. Use the same command to check each of the owner and group on the subdirectories and files of the subdirectories - they should all be owner and group of _teamsserver. Following is an example from my server, note that I do not precede the “collaboration...” with a “/”, this is because I am already inside the “library” directory.
sh-3.2# ls -l collaboration
total 8
drwxr-x--- 4 _teamsserver _teamsserver 136 Apr 22 20:12 ArchivedGroups
drwxr-x--- 3 _teamsserver _teamsserver 374 Apr 23 11:34 Groups
drwxr-x--- 3 _teamsserver _teamsserver 102 Mar 14 21:43 Users
-rw-r----- 1 _teamsserver _teamsserver 249 Feb 14 17:54 dataVersion.plist
sh-3.2# ls -l collaboration/groups
total 0
drwxr-x--- 10 _teamsserver _teamsserver 340 Apr 22 21:02 pyrranwiki
sh-3.2# ls -l collaboration/groups/pyrranwiki
total 24
drwxr-x--- 4 _teamsserver _teamsserver 136 Apr 22 20:13 discussion
-rw-r----- 1 _teamsserver _teamsserver 5120 Apr 22 21:02 index.db
drwxr-x--- 2 _teamsserver _teamsserver 68 Apr 22 20:12 mailinglist
-rw-r----- 1 _teamsserver _teamsserver 484 Apr 23 11:34 metadata.plist
drwxr-x--- 2 _teamsserver _teamsserver 68 Apr 22 20:12 public
drwxr-x--- 2 _teamsserver _teamsserver 68 Apr 22 20:12 resources
drwxr-x--- 2 _teamsserver _teamsserver 68 Apr 22 20:12 weblog
drwxr-x--- 3 _teamsserver _teamsserver 102 Apr 22 20:12 wiki
sh-3.2# ls -l collaboration/groups/pyrranwiki/wiki
total 0
drwxr-x--- 7 _teamsserver _teamsserver 238 Apr 22 20:12 welcome.page
6. If you noticed any of these owners or groups showing something other than _teamsserver then perform the following command which will change the owner and group for the entire directory structure of /libaray/collaboration. (NOTE: Upper/lower case IS important here! NOTE: “teamsserver” has two “s”’s in it!):
chown -Rv teamsserver:teamsserver /library/collaboration
If done right, you should have a list of directories and subdirectories spit back at you.
This may only solve some of your problems, if you have more, check out the discussion “Topic : Wiki - No group with that name hosted on this server?” where I posted a fairly lengthy set of instructions to solve a different wiki problem last night.
Good luck!

Should I upgrade (purchase) from 10.4 server to 10.5?

We have a simple setup. Not using mail server, home directories, web server. Mainly file sharing and FTP. Have a couple simple shared folders with permissions setup, not using ACL's as I heard they can be difficult to "get right".
So the question is, does Leopard Server improve the manageability (ease of) over 10.4.
Why do I need Leopard Server?
BTW, how does the iCal Server work? Good or Bad

I'd like to chime in and just say that not everyone is having a bad experience. From being completely new to OS X Server, I've been relatively pleased with everything so far. I'm starting from scratch and not doing anything too crazy with Directory Services or Kerberos or anything, but I do have iCal Server up and running along with the wiki and File Sharing.
I will say the iCal settings are cluttered and a little confusing to wrap your mind around but it is definitely possible to get working. I haven't had any of the aforementioned AFP problems. It seems like most (not all) people are having problems when the Open Directory node is not the Master node, or when people have upgraded from 10.4 instead of a fresh install.
If you're looking to start a new service, like Final Cut Server, I'd say go for it. If you have a solid 10.4 install right now, I'd say wait until 10.6 and start from scratch unless you NEED 10.5 for something, but that goes for ANY program or operating system, not just OS X.

I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

I ended up putting it in DFU mode. It's kinda hard to tell it was in DFU mode because nothing showed on the screen, it was just black, but the sounds from the computer helped to tell me it was connected.
Itunes still didn't recognize the device for whatever reason.
So I used redsn0w. I don't know if I can say that on these forums, but considering itunes was worthless at this point I am going to give credit where credit is due.
Now I am giving itunes a second chance to upgrade to 5.1, if it doesn't work, well, back to redsnow and maybe I will even jailbreak it this time rather than just using the fecovery fix found under extras.

Upgrade to OS X Lion Server

I am currently running a Mac Mini server setup in a RAID-1 configuration. I wanted to upgrade to OS X Lion Server. I went to the App Store, and found out that I need to purchase OS X Lion and OS X Lion Server to upgrade. I made the purchase, and now, I cannot install the upgrade. They system starts to install OS X Lion. I get to the screen to restart, I get a message saying that the system is shutting down applications, and then i get:
An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again.
I have tried resetting the PRAM and NVRAM, and I got the same results.
I tried navigating to the DMG file, mounting the DMG, and running the install, and I got the same results.
What am I missing? Is there some special item that I need to download, or a hidden step to take to upgrade from OS X Snow Leopard Server to OS X Lion to OS X Lion Server?

I had the same issue and I solved it with the following steps. Before you proceed connect an External SuperDrive to your Mac Mini, create a full backup of your system and read carefully the following manual
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/lion_server_upgrading_migrating.pdf
1) In your OSX Snow Leopard installation, go to System Preferences to perform a software update check.
2) Buy and download OSX Lion (and OSX Lion Server if you have OSX Snow Leopard Server) from App Store, after download do not proceed with installation.
3) Make a bootable OSX Lion Installation DVD performing these steps:
3.1) Go to the Applications folder and locate the Install Mac OS X Lion package, right-click the package and choose "Show Package Contents".
3.2) Go to the /Contents/SharedSupport/ folder and locate the InstallESD.dmg. Use Disk Utility to burn this image to DVD.
4) Reboot the Mac Mini holding the "C" key at startup and proceed through the installation process steps, when you are prompted to choose where to install OSX Lion, select the RAID volume. An alert will appear to remind that some features will not be available if you install OSX Lion on a RAID Volume, choose "Continue" to proceed.
5) After the installation process, during which the Mac Mini reboots at least twice, log in with your credentials and go to System Preferences to perform a software update check.
I've tested it with Mac Mini Server and OSX Lion 10.7.3 Installation Package and it worked.

Wiki and Blog Server

Hi,
I recently changed the location of the stored files for my web server on leopard. At first, the user blogs were not working but after discovering a permissions problem with the folder on the RAID array that they were on, they began to work.
My problem is that the group wiki and blog services do not work. It seems that the index for the page is created but not the folder for storing the files. Does anyone know of a workaround?
Thanks

Hi,
External data stores are easily achieved with the various services running under 10.5 server. A strong requirement is setting the permissions correctly so that the service is able to read and write to the data store. So for instance an external data store for the group service is achieved by
Server -> Web -> Services: Data Store: /Volumes/Collaboration
Folder Collaboration:
Owner: _teamsserver -rwx, Group: _teamsserver -rwx, Others: -rx
If Collaboration is not at the Volume level then Everyone needs to have access through the directory structure to the directory containing Collaboration.
The user blogs are referenced from the site folder to the user's home folder containing a Sites folder. The access to user blogs is not the same as the access to the group wiki/blogs content.
HTH,
Harry

Documentation for oracle webcenter wiki and blog server 10.1.3.2.0

Hi
Can anyone tell me where I can get the documentation for oracle webcenter wiki and blog server 10.1.3.2.0. I am specifically interested in this version and not the latest version Oracle® WebCenter Wiki and Blog Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4.0) because I have heard the older version provided out of the box portlets for creation of blogs.
Since we want blogs very fast, I want documentation of this older version.
Can anyone point them out to me as soon as possible please

You can find the demo portlets here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/webcenter/owcs_10132_demos.html#wiki_blog_disc_samples
I do not believe there were any portlets provided with the earlier release.
Anyway what i think is it should not take you more than a few hours to integrate blogging functionality if you are using the Connection & Task flows provided by WebCenter.

My Wikis and Ical on the WEB give a Server starting up.. message

Wikis (and Ical on the WEB) give a Server starting up... message with the turning wheel. They were working perfect, and yesterday started the problem. I have not changed any of the server settings neither permissions. From Mozilla Firefox on windows throes an Mac OS X server message
500: An internal error occurred trying to process your request. Sorry. Safari gives a Server starting up..
I checked permissions and look ok, root and admin group have read & write access. to
/Volumes/DATA HD/ServiceData/Web/Documents/Collaboration folder and up in the path.
Does anybody know how to solve this?
I tried updating to OS X 10.6.5 but the problem continues.

I am having a similar issue as you marktech, with colaboration folder on a different drive.
My temporary solution is to stop and start web services on the server, and the message goes away and users can log in. Problem comes back on a server restart.
Swamped here so have not been able to apply troubleshooting techniques.
What I have checked is verifying permissions on collaboration folder. Seems like I had to re-apply permissions after any significant update.
My final resolution will be to migrate from the ssd hard drive (the extra speed is not any significant impact for us) to a 1TB hard drive and migrate data back over to a single drive in original directory locations. appologies have not had ample time to research the issues....

Mac OS X Server 10.8 and Wiki Code Snippet Security Settings

I want to disable the embed security settings in Server's Wiki Service because with the default settings you can't embed anything on to pages, which makes it a lot less useful.
I know to do this you change:
/Library/Server/Wiki/Config/whitelist.plist
but I'm not sure how to change it to allow all types of embeds. I'm aware of the security risks but I trust my users on this Server to embed what they need to embed.
Message was edited by: takpschool - text truncated in title after ampersand

I found the Lion Server Advanced Admin Guide which mentioned changing the key `FiltersEnabled` to `False` `/etc/collabd/collabd.plist`.
Once I figured that this plist has been moved to /Library/Server/Wiki/Config in Mountain Lion Server from /etc/collabd/ in Lion Server I changed the preference - and we can embed to our hearts' content.

HT201364 Xserve (Early 2008) with Snow Leopard 10.6.8: How far can I upgrade ? Can I upgrade to an OS X Server version? Is any OS X Lion version compatible?

How far can I upgrade ?
Can I upgrade to an OS X Server version?
Is any OS X Lion version compatible?

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, the computer's also incompatible with Mountain Lion and Mavericks; if desired, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
