Upgraded to 10.5 server from 10.4 but Server Admin won't upgrade Apache 2

I am attempting to upgrade an Intel XServe from Mac OS X Server 10.4 to 10.5. Everything goes perfect with all services and setting restored. However, when I attempt to use the Apache upgrade option in Server Admin to switch to Apache 2, it fails with the error:
"The server reported the error: 'CANNOTTRANSLATEERR' while processing a command of type: 'setApacheMode'"
The server itself is a modest set-up. It is essentially a private web server running only ftp, http, mail, a firewall, and about 20 users. I am also hosting two of the domains on https with certs.
I figured this has something to do with translating the Apache 1.3 config files. I am working on development machine with a clone of the server so I have been trying everything I can think of or find on the net to cure this but have had no luck. I have searched several Mac-centric forums and have found nothing.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Yes, I did try 127.0.0.1 as well as the OS given domain ddeweb.local and even localhost. But no luck. In addition, I also tried various things with the config files in /etc/apache2 up to and including complete replacement of the entire /etc/apache2 directory with one from a clean 10.5 server install. That didn't even work.
The other thing I tried in an attempt to rule out the virtual host files was to disable all but the default host config which was refreshed with the default config. Still didn't work.
As for the output from in the terminal app:
Oddly enough the serveradmin command produced nothing. It just came back with the prompt.

What is the GarageBand version that your friend is using?
If it is GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can buy GarageBand '11 as a boxed retail version with the iLIfe '11 bundle, e.g. from Amazon.
Then you can upgrade GarageBand '11 to 6.0.5, using this upgrader from the Support page:
GarageBand 6.0.5
GarageBand 6.0.5 will work well with your system. But if your friend is using the newest GarageBand 10, this will not help. Then ask your friend to send you audio files for each track, so you can recreate the project from the audio. Or your friend could also use GarageBand '11 for the projects you want to share, that will run well in all newer MacOS X versions, even with GarageBand 10.0 installed on the same system.

My phone has the correct AppleID in the in settings section but asks me to login with one that isn't mine. I deleted the ID from my itunes but it still won't let me login with mine. How do I get my iPhone on the same page?

My iphone4 has the correct Apple ID in the information settings section and asks me to login to my ID most of the time but when I try to update my apps, it asks me to login with an ID that isn't mine. I deleted the wrong ID from my itunes but it still won't let me login with my own ID to update apps. How do I get my iphone on the same page?

How did you obtain these apps? All apps are DRM protected & tied forever to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID(account), nor can they be updated using any Apple ID other than the one that was used to originally obtain them.

The album downloaded except one song. It says purchased rather than play and there is no option to try and download the one song that had an error. I deleted the song name from our library, but it still won't let me download. Any advice?

Leopard Server Admin Web panel controls apache 1.3 instead of apache 2

When I use Server Admin 10.5's Web panel, it controls apache 1.3 when everything I read says the panel should control apache 2.
How can I make apache 2 the default web server on Leopard (for startup, Server Admin, et al)?
NOTE: This is on a new XServe shipped earlier this month with 10.4 Server installed. After a few days, I upgraded with the included 10.5 Server DVD. My hunch is that this is caused by the upgrade even though Web services we not turned on in the few days it was running 10.4. I don't have any use for apache 1.3 and I'd really like to avoid a clean install because of all the other work I've done on this system.

the version of apache is set here:
/var/db/.ApacheVersion
stop the web service
edit the hidden file .ApacheVersion with pico (as super user)
1 for apache 1.x
2 for apache 2.x
start the web service
This will not transfer your websites from your 1.x installation.

Server Admin won't connect (not even locally)

One of my customers' machine crashed and had to be rebooted (So they say). I was not on site at the time and someone else with a "bit of knowledge" fiddled with the machine and tried to resurrect it (instead of leaving it for me to sort it out). Ever since there is no access to the server via the Server Admin (no server found) although the server is running fine and people are working from it. The Workgroup Manager is operational, though no sharing access is possible, only user privileges can be modified. The syslog reports the following message:
----"Feb 21 06:54:13 XServe servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no hostname set and unable to detect via DNS, services may not function properly - use changeip to repair
Feb 21 07:24:13 XServe servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no name available via DNS for 192.168.0.2"----
Very strange. I can ping it, the IP is fixed anyway and I have access to the machine via ARD 3 no probs, but both server manager and server monitor fail to connect, even locally. Something somehow went wrong and I haven't got a clue. Rebooted the machine, done the usual things to no avail.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Machine is on 10.4.8 and its a dual G5 with one Gig RAM. I noticed that the activity monitor reports more than half the system memory as 'inactive', leaving precious little free mem. The systm disk is 80 Gigs with 30 Gigs free.

Hi
I had a similar situation on a server I was called in to have a look at after it was upgraded via software update from 10.4.2 to 10.4.8, the Open directory db went corrupt and the server administration tools would not work after that.
In the end I had to ditch the open directory and rebuild the server from scratch as the other IT guy did not have a decent backup.
Have you repaired permissions or tried Disk Warrior on the boot drive?
The DNS thing is something that Apple has inrtroduced in 10.4.8, many people are having the same error show in system.log, see the Network Services section under Mac OS X Server.

Server Admin won't let me view Share Points

I had a server crash while editing a user in Workgroup Manager that forced a restart. Since then Workgroup Manager works fine, but I cannot see the Share Points in Server Admin. I select File Sharing then Share Points, and just get a spinning indicator on the lower right. I can browse the volumes, but clicking on a user's folder does nothing. The Share/Unshare button never becomes active and I can't view the permissions. Other functions of the Server Admin seem to be OK, except the Web settings take forever to show up. This happens whether I run Server Admin locally or remotely.
I get this from the Console when I launch Server Admin but it makes no sense:
12/28/07 5:48:48 PM /Applications/Server/Server Admin.app/Contents/MacOS/Server Admin[632] ATS AutoActivation: MDQueryExecute failed! (params: queryString = {comapple_ats_namepostscript == "ArialMS" && kMDItemContentTypeTree != com.adobe.postscript-lwfn-font}, valueListAttrs = {<CFArray 0x10092ba0 [0x12321a0]>{type = immutable, count = 1, values = (

)}}, sortingAttrs = {<CFArray 0x10092bc0 [0x12321a0]>{type = immutable, count = 1, values = (

because I get the something similar when I launch FileMaker from the same machine:

Any ideas where to look?

Use the inspector in work group manager to delete /config/sharepoints.
You will need to be in the local directory in work group manager and you will have to reshare all shares but no data will be removed. You should probably reboot after deleting the directory. This would replace the old way of doing it in the past with netinfo manager since we don't have netinfo anymore.

Server Admin won't display services after 10.4.7 update

Did combo updater from Server 10.4.4 to 10.4.7. Everything seems to be working – filesharing, Web, FTP. But Server Admin connects but then just sits there spinning. Won't show active services, etc.
Workgroup Manager will let me administer accounts but Sharing tab is greyed out.
Did I overlook something?

You didn't mention what troubleshooting you tried.
Did a restart help? (would point to servermgrd problem)
Try removing the server from the list and re-add it.
If you are running ServerAdmin on the server itself, try adding the server as 127.0.0.1 (eliminates dns issues) if you are running from another machine then enter the IP of the server.

Server Admin won't connect

Trying to connect to a X.5 server in server admin, but nothing happens. System.log shows:
Jan 26 10:43:30 server servermgrd92: servermgrd: readFile File /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server.plist is not a valid plist
Jan 26 10:43:30 server servermgrd92: pipe(stdin) error: 24
I've tried removing that plist as well as replacing it with the same plist from an identical server, but the same error shows.
I changed com.apple.ServerAdmin.Windows to /false in the servermgr_info.plist also with no luck.
Thanks for the assistance,

kill the svrmgrd and log out. try to log in under a new account and connect. If it does go back to the account with the issue and try. If it does not then there is an a preference file causing the issue, which I have been unable to find. I basically labeled my preference folder to old-preferences and had one recreated. Since then I have been fine. You will notice that the SMB service is disabled and needs to be re-setup.

Server Admin won't connect, ssh will...

Hi,
I am no longer able to connect to my server using Server Admin. It gets stuck on 'loading' for ages and then says the server doesn't exist. I can connect fine with ssh, and there's nothing in system.log or servermgrd.log. I've tried deleting the Server Admin prefs as mentioned in the archives but to no avail.
Any help appreciated.

James: obvious stuff, I know, but is there a packet filter between your admin machine and the server? Have you tried restarting servermgrd (sudo killall -HUP servermgrd would do it) or re-booting the entire server?

All logins slow/failed, even local server admin won't work...

I've had an issue last Friday which reoccurred this morning concerning logins. Any logins on the network don't work, but take forever to come up with an error message. So I went to the server locally and tried the admin account there, but it hung as well (pinwheel for a few minutes, then spinning gear indefinitely). On Friday, a hard reboot seemed to fix the issue. Today, after hard rebooting, I could log in locally, but upon opening Server Admin, my server's info never came up (showed connected, but no info came up (in the software/hardware/etc area on the first page) and no services were listed. No network accounts could log in at this time (would take a minute and then the generic "Cannot log into this account due to an error").
Did another restart (via the apple menu this time) and everything is working fine for now. I couldn't find anything in any logs to indicate a problem (although it seems several logs restarted with the server restart).
Most clients are 10.6.2, a few are 10.5.8 and one is 10.4.11.

Happened again this morning. Hard restart seemed to fix it, but the RAID with the home folders on it took (3-drive RAID in the XServe, OS is on a separate solid state drive) about 5 minutes to mount.
Most logs seemed to have reset on the restart. There was no server system log at all or a DCHP system.log.
OD LDAP log's first line was "nse error = 2". Everything after that was after the restart.
OD Password Service Error log was full of "Unknown listener exception error." All entries were since the restart.
Couldn't find any other anomalies in any logs (although, like I said, most of them don't seem to exist anymore.
Now, I don't know if it's related, but the green light on the center RAID drive is off, but it seems to check out fine in System Profiler and Disk Utility. The blue access light works. I just figured it's a bad LED, but seems possibly related if the RAID's losing connection somehow (which could explain logins not working and its slow mounting behavior).
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as this is really bringing us to a standstill.

I can't get 1 book purchased on itunes to sync to my iphone. Songs from itunes sync and books from audible sync, but this one won't

I purchased a book from the itunes store and I can't get it to sync to my iphone. All the music from the itunes store syncs fine and books from audible sync to my iphone fine. Does anyone know why the book from itunes won't sync?

Check the book's info. Some books are iPad only.

My USB CF Card reader is not mounting on my 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5 iMac anymore. It was last week and worked fine to get pictures from my camera. Now it won't mount. I have tried another card reader and the same problem exists. Also tried different cards..

Hi
My USB CF (Compact Flash) Card reader is not mounting on my 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5 iMac anymore.
Last week it worked fine to get pictures from my camera but now it won't mount at all.
I ejected it in the correct way rather than just disconnecting it but now i cannot get it to remount!
I cannot even see it in the disk utility or system profiler.
I have tried another card reader (a brand new one bought today) and the same problem exists. I've also tried different cards to see if that made a difference and they still arent being picked up on the Mac.
I have done all the usual things like rebooting, unplugging all other USB devices and then trying but nothing has worked.
I'm a photographer and I'm at my wits end here. I know the cards are fine as i have been using them without issue and they are also new.
Note: If I plug the camera in directly to the Mac, the Mac picks it up just fine as it always has done. Its just the card readers that it wont pick up anymore.
If anyone has any ideas at all other than the following (my so called friends advice) you'd earn my undting love:
Buy a PC
Use the camera (Thats why i bought the reader in the first place - importing RAW files from the camera is SLOW!)
Replace your CF cards (I have three 8GB cards two of which i had never used til today and they dont work either!)
Buy a new card reader (this is the 5th one in two days - none work on the Mac)
Many thanks in advance!

OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

Purchased a 2nd hand iPhone - unable to set up as it displays as associated with prior owners email - he has removed device from his account but still won't let me complete set up. Any advice on next steps?

Display shows previous owner set up find my phone function & it is linked to their apple account. Owner has removed device from a/c but
it still won't allow me to proceed with set up.

Hello Penng185,
Steps to be done to remove the device from the previous owner's iCloud Account, if you have already done this things then there might be something that you might have missed due to which the iPhone is still showing the Find My iPhone Activation Lock screen.
Resolution : http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
If the previous owner is with you and can access the device
Ask them to enter their Apple ID and password on the Activate iPhone screen (shown above) to remove the device from their account. You can then proceed through the rest of the device setup process.
If the previous owner is not present
Contact them and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
Choose the device from their Find My iPhone device list by clicking All Devices and selecting the correct device.
Click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
After the device has been removed from the previous owner’s account, turn it off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally.

Upgrade to Lion from 10.6 shows no ical, etc. in server admin... but runs them...

Upgraded on of my (4) servers today from the latest 10.6 to 10.7. I downloaded the whole package, everyhting went fine, until I accessed the server with server admin (10.7).
From all of my services only DNS, Firewall, Mail and OpenDirectory were up and running (and showing up).
But I had iCal, AFP, Adressbock, VPN and Web running.
I did not have Mail running (so I do not know why the upgrade to lion switched mailservices on.)
So now the funny part. I tried to add the missing services via "add service...", but they are not there and nowhere.
So, assuming no iCal on the server running I thought my clients will not have iCal access, but to my great surprise. iCal worked just fine...?!
So I startet the app "Server" on the lion server itself.
To my surprise, there were all the missing services runnig and switched on. I switched them off and on again (to get them maybe visible in Server Admin) but nothing changed.
Now I am running with all the services on but they are not visible in Server Admin...
Only small problem I noticed, is that from my 3 afp sharepoints only one was visible, I switched again off and on file sharing via "server.app" and - voala all sharepoints are back again...
Hmm, strange... I will wait with upgrading my other servers.
regards
Robert

what you have described is the correct behaviour. Server Admin has changed and some of the services are now in Server.
