Web sharing and pop mail access

I use a mac mini running 10.4 as a wireless router for my macbook pro. I can access the web alright, but I can't seem to access my pop mail account. i.e. mail won't download or send mail. How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks very much Duane
That's great. I can now download all my emails, but now can't send any via the smtp server that the mac mini uses happily. Is there a setting I need to change in services or somewhere else?
Also, Is it safe to have turned off the firewall on the mac mini?
Thanks again,
Chris

Web Sharing and vhosts

Hi all
Can some one help with regards to setting up web sharing and vhosts under 10.8.
I have started apache (sudo apachectl start).
I've enabled php and mysql.
I have de hashed (#) Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
I have added my vhost :
127.0.0.1      www.myvhosts.dev
127.0.0.1     myvhost.dev
to the file     /private/etc/hosts
I have also edited the http-vhost.conf file by adding
<VirtualHost *:80>
        DocumentRoot "/Volumes/MacPro RAID/Web Development/myvhost"
        ServerName www.myvhosts.dev
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
        DocumentRoot "/Volumes/MacPro RAID/Web Development/myvhost"
        ServerName myvhosts.dev
</VirtualHost>
But typing in www.myvhosts.dev or myvhosts.dev takes me straight to google.
Further more http://localhost and http://localhost/~username
both kick out access errors that I have tried to fix with a user.conf file with
<Directory "/Volumes/MacPro\ RAID/stevenwhiteley/Sites">
    Options Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
But nothing works.
Any assistance would be most apprecated.
Cheers
Steve

Either move the content to the /Library/WebServer/Documents
directory or create aliases in that directory for the real files.

Personal Web Sharing and Filemaker Server Advanced

After migrating from FileMaker Server-7 Advanced and installing version-8 Advanced web components (w/Easy Install) and restarting the Mac, Personal Web Sharing refuses to activate. I also cannot access the Filemaker Admin Console to create the FMSA account to register it with the database server.
OSX Console log listed this error below when trying to start Apace with Personal Web Sharing:
Syntax error on line 1 of /Library/FileMaker Server/Web Publishing/web-configuration/WEB-INF/conf/mod_jk.conf:
Cannot load /usr/libexec/httpd/modjkfm.so into server: (reason unknown)
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
Line 1 of the mod_jk.file reads:
LoadModule jkfmmodule libexec/httpd/modjkfm.so
What needs to be corrected so I can start web sharing and access the FileMaker Web Publishing Engine in the browser?
Using Mac OSX 10.4.6 on Mac Mini w/Intel dual core

Apache is trying to load modjkfm.so which should be stored in /usr/libexec/httpd, but it isn't.
This file should be installed by the Filemaker Server installer. If it wasn't installed by the Easy Install option, check the other install options to see if it's there.

Web Sharing and Apache losing connection?

ok so i just did a fresh install of 10.4 on my server (PowerMac G4 - 350 Mhz) i have set up my web sharing with a few tweaks like turned mod_ssl and installed MySQL. Other than that it's a pretty basic config.
My problem is that i when i start or restart apache everything works and stays that way for hours as I am updating and testing. I go home at night and come back in the morning and i can not access any of my sites nor the local ip of the server (192.168.0.100) or 127.0.0.1
so i restart apache and its back up...
i do have a static IP so I know its not my IP Changing
any ideas on keeping apache alive?

What do the logs have to say about it?
There's nothing anyone here can tell you about why it's stopping - there are just too many posibilities. The server logs, though, might provide some clues.
Check specifically /var/log/httpd/error_log and /var/log/system.log

Issue on Web sharing and XSL files

Hi all,
What are the things to be taken care while we are doing websharing. I have an issue with one of my xMII projects. Everything is working fine on that server except xsl files. It is not getting transformed into HTML at run time. It is showing in XML format instead. I really doubt the problem is with my web sharing, because the same set of files(<b>including XSL file</b>) are working on a different server without any issue.
I have done websharing by right clicking on the folder name, selecting the websharing tab and giving Alias name. Is that ok or anything more as to be done?
Can anyone please trace out the issue.
Thanks in advance
Muzammil P.T

Hi,
Webroot is still in c:\inetpub\wwwroot, but i set up a new virtual directory to <b>c:\Lighthammer</b> and accessing xMII using the URL http://*...*/Lighthammer
and my project contects using http://*...*/Lh/CompApps/MyProj/HomePage.html
(I have given Lh as the Alias name).
Here, My xMII homepage is working and myProj Homepage is also working fine. Once i calls the HTML pages which contains XSL files, the problem is coming.
Please Note: The same contents is working on our different server without any change.
Regards
Muzammil

IOS5, iPad(1) and POP Mail account

It seems that once I updated my iPad to iOS5, it is now looking at my POP mail server and treating every email on the server as NEW...!!! So basically, it keeps pre-loading the next 100 messages and says it's ready to "Load More" messages from the server - over 5,000 messages. Not cool. How do I tell this thing to ignore all those old messages. I cannot sit here for a day or two "dismissing" thousands of messages. Any ideas?
I am in the midst of updating my iPhone 3G[s] as I type this... so the problem may (or may not) manifest there as well.

So... per your idea, I "disabled" the two POP accounts in my iPhone and RECREATED them using IMAP instead. Once I did that, a few things happened:
No massive list of unread messages
All my emails were there in both accounts
I could now SEE all the folders I had created on the mail server
When I delete an email, it always says "Unable to Move Message - The message could not be moved to the mailbox trash." in a popup dialogue... yet the message disappears.
I will need to experiment when I get home to see how IMAP behaves differently from POP. I know with POP, I could delete local/downloaded emails from my iPhone/iPad and keep it relatively clean and it had NO EFFECT on my home computer and/or the email server. As it stands, it SEEMS that IMAP treats email differently... I'll need to experiment, but it appears that I am not looking at a downloaded "copy" of an email - but actually MANIPULATING what is on the email server - so if I "DELETE" something from my iPhone/iPad, I am GUESSING that it's also being deleted from the server? Also - up until now, I used my home Mac as the "MASTER" of all my emails. I save everything into folders on my local MAC. My worry is (and I'll confirm later) that if I delete something using my phone BEFORE it made it to my Mac's inbox, it'll never get there. My MAC mail app is accessing the same accounts as POP... will look into changing them to IMAP as well (if possible).
Thanks again.

Web sharing and apache server down

Hi all
Sorry for this noobie question but it's the first time I have this strange behavior
Today I tried to use my MBP (under Lion 10.7.4) outside of my home in a location where web connection was not permitted.
I thought I could continue to work on my web project which is at the moment on a localhost server.
But it was impossible as the web sharing was down and it was impossible to relaunch it through preferences panes.
did I missed something in my Apache config or somewhere else as I am pretty sure that this behavior should be the correct one it should be possible to have the apache server running even if not connected to the web.?
Obviously once returned at home and reconnected to the web all going back at normal.
Thanks in advance for your help

Finally I found by myself, apparently I my apache server pointed on the port 80 which once disconnected of the web cause to Apache to be down.
Changed the port into 8080 and then no issue anymore the Apache server still on once disconnected of the web

Sharing and permissions, custom access, cant get user to have read and write acess

<Edited by Host>

I am not sure why you get that error. One thing you can do is a SMC reset then try to format it again. However that being said I'm not fan of WD external HD's primarily because we see a lot of troubles with them on Macs. Their internal HD's are fine so that narrows it down to their enclosures. If the problem persists I'd return the drive and buy one of the following:
OWC (www.macsales.com) Mercury Elite Pro series
Lacie Quadra d2 series
G-Tech G series
SMC RESET
• Shut down the computer.
• Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
• Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
• Release the power button.
• Attach the computers power cable.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

MobileMe and Using POP mail access

Hi guys and girls
I currently use .Mac with Mail and have set up Mail to access .Mac email using the POP.
I assume that MobileMe and it's push eMail feature is based on IMAP but it doesn't actually state what settings we need to use.
Does anyone know? Should I set up my Mail.app to use the IMAP in readiness for MobileMe?
Any help or guidance you can give would be greatly appreciated!

TM (1st Gen), Lion, Thunderbolt, and Internet/Mail Access

Hi everyone,
I ran into a bit of a problem that has me stumped. I upgraded to Lion on a new Macbook Pro back in July. I have an Apple Thunderbolt display connected to the MBP. I recently unboxed and connected my 1st generation Time Machine and started having internet connection issues. I am not using my TM to create a wireless network but only as a hard drive to back up my laptop. I connect to a wireless network not created through this TM. My TM is connected via the ethernet port on back of the Thunderbolt display. My observation is that whenever the TM is connected I have internet connection issues (mail - iCloud/Gmail, Safari, and Firefox). Whenever I disconnect the TM from the ethernet port on the Thunderbolt display and turn off Time Machine from the Time Machine Preferences, I have no connection issues.
Has anyone run into a similar problem? I would like to continue using TM to back up my MBP hard drive but also want to be able to access the internet. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I called Apple support and they helped me solve the problem. I should have written down the specifics, but basically I needed to streamline my prefs. I was using both DHCP and PPPoE. I turned off the PPPoE setting in the Airport utility in the utility folder in the Applications menu. Sorry I can't be more specific. I then had to restart the computer for the changes to take affect.

Outlook 2010 on Win8.1 with O365 mail and POP mail in same profile

I am using Outlook 2010 on Windows 8.1. I have both my corporate email (Microsoft's cloud-based O365 (well, really, Exchange in the cloud)) and a personal POP email in my Outlook profile. I'm using iCloud 4 (but same happened with 3) to sync my personal contacts and calendar. I believe iCloud is conflicting with my corporate email which (I believe) uses MS Active Sync to sync the corporate email, calendar and contacts to my iPhone. Is there any way to fix this (tell iCloud not to touch the corporate email, only the personal one)?

Ok, well after looking at everything, I decided that the best solution was to uninstall an App called "Tango", as it seemed to 'mess' with contacts directly, and I only use it with 1 person, so switching back to Skype (plus Tango sends/shares lots of personal
info, location, and keeps changing it's access rights and doing stuff when you're not looking - I'm sure some people love it, but for me, it's a belts and braces get rid of anything that might have 'contributed' to this issue).
Found my un-sync'd contacts and emailed them to myself, then deleted the Exchange active-sync account. Checked what was left, found google had managed to sync some stuff, cleared that up too!
RE-created the account on the S4 - only need the email and password, as it finds the server and sets itself up automatically (I guess it did that previously).
All is now working, after about 5mins the data had been re-populated and it sync's new changes instantly. But I will monitor from time to time to check that new contacts or added numbers etc do sync. My best guess is that some index or other data became corrupt.
Just one of those things (or had I been tango'd?!).
On the Truncating Notes Issue, the S4 (realised that it's running Android 4.3) does chop a note but only if edited, at 1001 chrs. However unlike others, it seems to only truncate the note if you actually edit the note field, so adding a phone number or removing
one, leaves the note field intact!
To summaries other devices behaviour with the Contact record Notes Field:
- iPhone 3GS (on iOS 6.1.3) truncates at 32,777 chrs (so pretty big notes!)
- Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8020 - Android 4.1.1) chops at about 1,000chrs, even if just adding a phone number to the contact - so not even editing the notes field
- HTC One X (4.2.2) at 5,122 chrs (when editing any part of the contact)
I hope this might help someone in the future if they have similar problems ...
cheers

Mavericks and PoP mail

Since the upgrade the problem I have is that mail in my inbox is listed but when i click on a message the contents is not displayed. Can't read any of the mail.
Segestions and help please.

Find the correct account settings on the Cox website and enter them in Mail.

Thunderbird can download and send mail with Cox POP Mail, Mail cannot?

I have Thunderbird and Mail installed.
I can download and send mail with Thunderbird.
I can't even set-up an account with Mail because it cannot find the POP Mail server.
I have Firewall on with ports 25, 110 and 587 open.
This really seems strange that I can use Thunderbird to set up and use POP Mail access to Cox, but not Mail.
My servers are:
pop.central.cox.net
smtp.central.cox.net
I've followed the steps on Cox's support web site, no success.
I've already called Cox, they're clueless.
Thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi Todd,
Well since Tbird works, we can rule out lots of things.
Mail cannot find the POP server
You are using the Welcome to Mail assistant to do this, and when you type in your incoming mail server info it spins the gear a bit, gives an error, and says that if you continue Mail may not work -- yes? What does the error say specifically?
No disrespect at all, but the most likely problem is a typo somewhere / mis-specified username. Please go 'round once more.
Good luck,
John

Web Sharing + Remote mysql Access

Hey! I just had a quick question.
I'm a developer and I was wondering how to enable Web Sharing to allow my PHP code to access mysql databases remotely.
Currently, my web sharing and php and stuff like that work great, but I get the following error whenever I try to connect to a database.
"Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/private/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /Users/matt/Sites/bio/web/dbconnect.php on line 2
Could not connect: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/private/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)"
I'm pretty saavy with software, but anything dealing with firmware or hardware, I am very much humbled. Can someone please help with enabling access to connect to a remote mysql database?
Thanks so much.

Nah I haven't actually physically installed it on my computer. I didn't think I had to install it, since I already actually have the database built that I want to connect to.
Should I install it, then?

Web Sharing with Leopard 10.5.2 and Airport Extreme Base Station HELP!!!

Ok...I want to set up web sharing on my computer but so far my attempts have failed.
I have an intel iMac with Leopard 10.5.2 installed and I have the latest Airport extreme base station (With draft n).
I turn on web sharing, and of course it works locally but not when trying to be accessed over the internet.
Now I realize that by default my routers address wont let anyone connect to my computer over the internet.
My router has an ip of 10.0.1.1, and I assigned my computer a static ip address of 10.0.1.200.
Now in the network preferences pane and the airport category, i set my computers IP (the 10.0.1.200), I put the gateway as 255.255.255.0, the router as 10.0.1.1 and the DNS as 10.0.1.1
Now going over to the airport utility I added a new entry in the port mapping section, with port 80 (both public and private) and the IP of my machine, 10.0.1.200.
Now in theory this should work but NOOOOO.
Does anyone have the same setup? a wireless network with the new airport extreme base station and has successfully configured Web Sharing?
Thanks in advance.
Felipe

Well here is an update.
I saw an entry in apple support that said I had to change some setting in the apache folder /etc/apache2 in order to avoid getting the 403 forbidden error. I tried this and it did not work, i checked my user configuration file as well and the path to my home site directory was correct
Anyone here have a similar setup and has it working? It shouldnt be too hard to set up web sharing through a router. It has to be possible or else a lot of people would not buy a router because of this.
thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to help
Bye.
