Webdav on a firewire disk

Hi!
I've set up a webdav server using the internal disk on a 10.5 Server. I would like to have the folder on a firewire disk.
But I get access denied when I change the configuration in the web-controlpanel.
I've looked at the folder permissions and they should be correct.
I hope someone can help me, and looking forward to hear from you.

It was a wrong permision

  • How to boot always from a firewire disk?

    Hello,
    I hope someone can help me on this.
    My HD is almost dead and it's making a lot of noise. I have managed to create a boot disk
    on an external disk connected through Firewire.
    What shall I do now to have the HD definetly unmounted and have the boot always from the firewire disk?
    Thanks in advance

    I've had a similar problem with an external drive that was USB powered.
    In my case, the system was looking for a boot device before the drive was ready.
    I had a friend that was good with OpenFirmware add a delay before booting to give the drive time to become ready. Added 5 seconds to the boot process, but it works!
    Like cldjr said, hold the Option key (⌘) when powering up, if the drive shows up there, I'd guess it's the problem I described...
    Anyone good with OpenFirmware??

  • Firewire disk install on OEL6

    I am trying to setup firewire disk with OEL 6 2.6.32-100.34.1.el6uek.i686. I cannot find the rpm for the oracle kernel. Any help, appreciate.

    There should be no rpm necessary. Open a terminal and type the following:
    sudo modprobe firewire-ohciThis should load the firewire driver and you should be able to access your device.

  • Firewire disk does'nt boot when updating it from 10.5 to 10.5.1

    Encountered the same problem. No solution yet.

  • External FireWire Disk will not boot

    Hi Forum,
    after some installations (OS 10.4.9, latest security update and Qucktime 7.1.6 I canot boot from my external disk (Lacie) connected to FireWire 800 port. The Apple shows up but then nothing more happens. Does anyone have a hint?
    Thanks

    Add me to the list also. I had an external firewire disk as a RAID mirror for my boot disk. After a system crash (and some problem with my internal disk) I couldn't boot from the firewire stripe. This used to work.
    I've tried creating a single-disk "degraded RAID pair" on the external disk and cloning the internal disk to it (using Disk Utility "Restore"). The cloning works fine but I can't boot from the copy. This is how I originally set up the RAID pair (clone, boot from clone, add internal disk to RAID group). This used to work. I bought a new firewire disk and it has exactly the same problems.
    My original firewire disk was an Acomdata E5. My new firewire disk is a Coolmax Gemini CD-311 enclosure with a Hitachi 250GB deskstar inside.

  • Booting from a Firewire Disk backup - get Startup Manager to show FW disk

    Hi all,
    A hint that I have discovered whilst trying to create a backup on a Firewire external Hard disk and boot my eMac from it.
    eMac 1.0GHz (ATI), OS X Tiger 10.4.7 and OWC Mercury Elite Pro 40Gb firewire external disk (Oxford 911+ chipset)
    I created a bootable backup using both Carbon Copy Cloner and/or Rsyncx on the firewire disk, but with the same results each time - it woudn't boot from startup manager. I was careful to make sure that the disk was bootable and it would boot from the FW disk after selecting it in system preferences/startup disk and restarting. O.K so far.
    OS X also offers an alternative boot method using the startup manager at boot time which you can enter by holding down the option key while turning on the eMac until the startup manager comes up. Normally it shows your "macitoshHD" and "repair" hard drives and you can select the preferred boot up drive. According to Apple help it should also show bootable Firewire disks, but I could not get this to happen.
    After a bit of trial and error, I found this sequence reveals the FW dive.
    . Make sure your firewire external drive is turned on and plugged in to a firewire port on your eMac.
    .Power on the eMac whilst holding down the option key (The key with the apple and squiggley thing next to the spacebar)
    .Keep holding the option key until the startup manager icons appear.
    .Once the startup manager appears, it will take about 30 secs to 1 min to scan for drives.
    . Usually icons showing your internal bootable drives will show along with a rescan and continue icon.
    . To get the FW drive to show, hold down the option key and click the rescan button (the turned back arrow icon on the left)
    .The system will then rescan and find the firewire drives and show their icons as well as the internal drive icons.
    . Select the firewire drive (You did give it a unique name didn't you?) and the click the continue arrow on the right.
    . Watch the FW drive activity light and you should see lots of flashing and there you are - booting from the FW drive.
    I couldn't find any reference in all the help references to holding down the opt key to rescan, so maybe it is peculiar to this eMac?
    Give it a try and be sure to let me know if it works for you.
    Ian

    OK JMVP, but there is something a little strange here.
    After I booted the system whilst holding down the OPTION key, startup manager appeared and scanned for drives but only showed the normal internal drives. (By this time I had already released the OPTION key). I clicked the re-scan icon and same thing, still no FW drive. According to all the Apple help files it should show the external FW drive as well.
    But, when I held down the the OPTION key and clicked the rescan icon again, it rescanned and showed the internal drives AND the FW drive. Maybe it's an undocumented feature of startup manager, maybe it's peculiar to the FW drive I'm using
    I will try to update the firmware, but the manufacturers website says it doesn't need updating to work with Tiger. Other than this minor prob it already seems to be working OK. Just won't show up in the startup manager without rescanning with the option key pressed.
    I did notice whilst searching the help files that there is another option to boot from external drives:
    Hold down Option-Command-Shift-Delete keys during startup - this will Bypass primary startup volume and seek a different startup volume (such as a CD or external disk). It didn't work in my case.
    Curious?

  • How many firewire disks ???

    how many firewire disks can i connect to my mac mini, so it has only one port, and what is the difference between macs equipped with two ports instead of one, there are two different firewire cards or it is just like an internal hub
    thanks

    The FireWire bus will allow you to connect 67 devices to a single bus. However, I believe the limit of the Finder and the HFS+ (Mac OS Extended) format only allows for 23 different hard drives to appear on your Desktop. You may still be able to mount more, but I'm not entirely sure they'll all be visible on the Desktop...

  • FireWire Disk on RH9

    I've found that I have to go through a very precise sequence in order to mount my shared FireWire Hard drive on 3 Red Hat 9.0 nodes (2.4.20-13.9 kernels). Does anyone else have this much difficulty, or can shed some light on my problem? (The node order probably isn't important, it's just the sequence I tested with)
    1. Boot node 2, and login.
    2. issue the rescan-scsi-bus.sh (drive found)
    3. Boot node 3, and login.
    4. issue the rescan-scsi-bus.sh (does not find the drive)
    5. Boot node 1, and login.
    6. issue the rescan-scsi-bus.sh (does not find the drive)
    7. On all 3 nodes, issue modprobe -r sbp2
    8. On all 3 nodes, issue modprobe sbp2
    9. On all 3 nodes, issue rescan-scsi-bus.sh
    If I try too much simultaneous disk activity (ex. copying files), it tends to generate errors and abort.

    > The default behavior for Firewire disks is that they aren't mounted until a user logs in at the console and are unmounted if no console users are logged in
    What makes you say that?
    I have several machines with external FireWire drives. Every drive mounts automatically at boot time with no users logged in. I can't think of a single case where this works the way you describe it.

  • Install Solaris on External Firewire Disk

    Hello All,
    I have a laptop running windows 2000 and I have a External Firewire Hard Disk of 60 GB. Now my question is, " Is it possible to install Solaris 8 on this external Firewire Hard Disk". When I tried installing, It did not find the external Firewire Disk, the only partition information, which solaris was displaying was from my internal Hard Disk.
    Please give me clues/information, how should , I do it.
    Thanks
    Sanjay

    First off, is any of your Macs an Intel Mac, that will complicate matters since they use a different hard drive formatting and need a different installation of Mac OS X.
    Secondly, you can't directly install Mac OS X from an Intel Mac to an external hard drive, you have to do a clone with a software like Shirt-Pocket's Superduper for that.
    If it isn't an Intel Mac, perhaps your Firewire hard drive isn't Mac OS X bootable? Not all are.
    Here's a hint on making the Intel/PowerPC partition table:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2006061610374449
    Also note, different Macs which came out after Tiger will only boot off the install disk which came with them, and not the retail disk. So you are best off cloning that Mac to its own partition.

  • Can't open external Firewire disk after upgrade to Leopard

    I recently upgraded a PowerBook G4 from 10.4.11(?) to 10.5.5. Now I cannot open its external disk, a LaCie 400 GB Firewire disk, model number 300925, like this: http://www.amazon.com/Lacie-400GB-7200Rpm-Firewire-300925/dp/B00066989Mreport
    The disk's icon appears on the desktop after it is plugged in. After double clicking to open it, the pinwheel cursor spins for a while, then Finder appears to restart, redrawing the desktop. When I have the Activity Monitor open during this, I see a process called ReportCrash run for a while before the Finder reset.
    Does anyone recognize this symptom? Is there a way to see what is being reported by ReportCrash?

    The Genius was skeptical that this was a problem between Leopard and a given disk. Indeed his first test was to boot my laptop from a clean install of Leopard on his own external FireWire drive. Running this way I had no problem opening my external disk from my laptop, running his fresh copy of OSX 10.5.something.
    His theory was that something leftover in my configuration files (in /Library/Preferences) from a previous OS was causing the Finder crash while opening a FireWire disk under Leopard. (Since this machine is four years old, there has been a lot of opportunities for kruft to collect.) His suggestion was do a backup (complicated by the fact that I can't open my backup disk, d'oh!) then to do a clean install of Leopard, and then copy back my user folder.
    I wish there was a smaller hammer I could use, like setting aside some magic .plist file... Any hints?

  • Tiger doesn't install on external firewire disk (partition)

    hi, i've got a Lacie Porche 250GB firewire drive, partitioned in two parts, and i want to install tiger on the first 50GB partition, but the installer give me an error about the destination: "You cannot install Mac OS X on this volume. Mac OS X cannot start up from this volume."

    please help me
    iMac Intel\iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    A boot disk for the Intel Macs needs to have a GUID Partition Table, the G4 needs the "Apple Partition Map". If you formatted the drive on your Intel Mac, you may need to repartition for the G4. In the "Partition" tab in Disk Utility, use the "Options..." button to choose the partitioning. Backup any data on the drive that you need, first.

  • Unreliable mounting of Firewire disks and Finder crashing

    On both my MacPro3,1 and MacBookPro5,1 running 10.6.2, mounting of Firewire disks is unreliable. Sometimes a partition being mounted does not show up in the Finder (but does appear as mounted to the df command). When that is the case, launching Disk Utility will cause the mounted partition to appear in the Finder. On mounting the disk, the system log always shows these entries:

    21/01/2010 14:32:39 diskarbitrationd[14] unable to probe /dev/disk2s3 (status code 0x0000002D).
    On dismounting the disk, the system log always shows these entries:

    Hi Dr. T,
    > There is an OnDemand key in there which looks
    like it may be doing something useful.
       I'm afraid that I don't know anything about the contents of those files but yes, an OnDemand key sounds like it might do what you want. Although I'm still fuzzy on this point, I gather that what you want is for the device file to be created in /dev but for the volume to not be mounted. As long as the device file is created, you can use the path to the device file as an argument to the "mount" command to mount the drive at any time. I assume that one of "the relevant parameters" in the fstab is the path to the device file.
       I don't know how well I understand what goes on "under the hood" here because I don't do this a lot. I was of the impression that if you eject or detach a drive, the device file is deleted from the device tree. However, if you merely unmount the drive, the device file persists and you can easily mount the drive again.
       By the way, it is supposed to be possible to use fstab with only data that persists between boots. You can use drive UUIDs or labels to refer to partitions. You can use the df command to discover the appropriate device files at the moment and then "diskutil info <device>" to get the UUID.

  • How to boot from FireWire disk?

    I have made a copy of my main disk with CarbonCopy, using an external FireWire 800 disk. According to CC it should be bootable, but pressing Option during boot does not show the that disk as boot option. When I boot from the main disk and try to change the boot disk in Preferences, I get this message "You can't change the startup disk to your selected disk, the bless tool was unable to set the current disk".
    Why am I doing this? I bought a 500GB disk to replace the 200GB internal disk. Wanted to restore the original content from the FireWire disk after swapping out the old disk. I could also restore from a TimeMachine backup I have on a USB disk, but that will take much longer and I have had issues with complete restores from TimeMachine backups in the past.
    All recommendations are welcome

    It sounds like that you didn't format the hard drive properly. If you want a bootable hard drive with an Intel powered Mac, you must choose the "GUID" partition scheme.
    Use Disk Utility to verify whether your external hard drive is partitioned with GUID scheme or the Apple partition scheme. If the later, you'll need to reformat with the GUID scheme.

  • Firewire disk icon changed

    Is there a way to restore the firewire disk icon in Yosemite? It used to have the firewire symbol in the icon, now it is just a yellow block.

    Hi snoho,
    If you would like to change the icon for a specific volume or external disk, you may find the steps outlined in the following article helpful (the article is aimed at changing icons on files or folders, but the same steps should apply to volumes as well):

  • IMac Dropping Firewire Disks & USB Flash Drive

    I have a 3TB 800mb WD Firewire Disk daisy chained to a 1TB 800mb WD Firewire Disk on my iMac  along with a 3.95GB USB Flash Drive.
    All my stuff is kept on these disks so the iMac runs light.
    After awakening from sleep, I often find that one of the Firewire Disks or the USB Flash Drive has gone AWOL and it's a real pain to get the Firewire Disk working again. The USB Flash Drive requiring to be plugged in again.
    Removing the Firewire Disks power lead sometimes fixes it, sometimes an iMac restart does the trick.
    The problem with restarting the IMac is the length of time it takes in restarting. The USB drive's default appears to be to go AWOL every time the iMac restarts.
    Does anyone know of a fix to cure this issue of Disks going AWOL and the abnormal time it takes to restart the iMac?

    Hi Mike,
    Tried all that, doesn't solve the issue.
    Incidentally, I have Arcana Startuo Sound installed, this mutes the AWFULL Apple Diagnostic Startup Sound that some Apple Idiot devised.
    Surely an on-screen message after startup, warning that something is amiss would be the sensible alternative?
    Apple have more than their fair share of the number of idiots they employ, witness the Wireless Keyboard, a Keyboard without Page up/down keys and Calculator keys? I admit the Wireless Keyboard does comes in useful for iPad!
    The problem with resetting the Pram is that it trashes Arcana, then I have to Restore OS X or reformat and install Snow Leopard>Mountain Lion etc.
    Arcana isn't available for Mountain Lion, my Arcana copy only works with Mountain Lion through a legacy process.
