Why can't Firefox set permissions for Snow Leopard Server Web-Site Wikis

I've established a web-site for collaboration of planning for a state-wide NGO and a local citizens-government oversight commission.
I'm using Snow Leopard Server v10.6.4, to drive the web-site, which includes the use of wikis.
In creating a wiki and setting permissions, I find that I cannot set permissions for users or groups to 'read only' from the default 'read & write' while using Firefox. However, I CAN set them to 'read only' using Safari. And, once the permission has been modified in Safari, THEN it can be modified in Firefox.

It’s blog update time! Updates have been a little scarce lately, been super busy with getting trophies on PS3
Anyway, recently encountered the following with a Mac mini server running Snow Leopard Server:
Despite being able to ARD / Screenshare the Mac mini, I was unable to get any further than the login window. Authentication credentials are obviously valid. No weird access permissions have been set. However, the weird thing was, I can connect to the server via Server Admin tools (from another Mac) and all other services were running without a hitch.
After much head scratching it turns out to be a sACL (Service Access Control List) issue.
This thread solved the mystery!

To save you the trouble, I’ll lay it out here. I cannot take credit for this, but Randall can!
Open Server Admin on a computer (any), and connect with the local admin to the machine.
Select the server and authenticate.
Select Settings, then go to Access. You’ll want to make sure that Login Window and SSH have the local admin account listed if you select the option to “Allow only these users”. For now, I would suggest making sure all services have “Allow all users and groups” selected.
If (as in my case) it was set to Allow All in the first place, simply toggle the settings – back and forth.
Save.
Try logging in again… should be a good one!

  • Why did I pay £25.00 for snow leopard

    Why did I pay £25.00 for snow leopard?
    Ive installed it and have noticed no difference.............have you?
    Jeff

    That's a point fo confusion.
    If your MacBook has a Core 2 Duo processor (64-bit) and not the earlier Core Duo processor (32-bit), you can run 64-bit versions of Apple's applications. Whether the speed improvements are mostly because of this "64-bit'ness" or mostly because Apple re-coded the bundled apps (such as the all-important Finder) to be more efficient, I'm not so sure. Apple did optimize their code to reduce bloat, and it is supposedly a lot more than just removing the PowerPC code. This article has a good high level explanation.
    http://www.macworld.com/article/142379/2009/08/snowleopard_64bit.html
    The other layer for 32 versus 64-bit discussion is in the core of the OS itself, the kernel. Apple seems to be playing it safe initially, and all Macs (except for Xserve servers) are running the 32-bit kernel by default. This may be to ensure third-party software compatibility during the transition to 64-bit. The more recent Macs are capable of switching to the 64-bit kernel on startup. Older Core 2 Duo Macs (that can run 64-bit apps) cannot use the 64-bit kernel. This web page (with related utility) has a good consolidate explanation, although I cannot confirm everything is 100% accurate.
    http://www.ahatfullofsky.comuv.com/English/Programs/SMS/SMS.html
    So there are really two levels. 64-bit applications and the 64-bit kernel. 64-bit apps can run with the 32-bit kernel just fine, as long as your iMac has Core 2 Duo processors. I'm just going to keep things +as is+, and not worry about it. Snow Leopard is running great, and that's good enough for me no matter what part is 64-bit and what part is not.

  • MySql Database set up on Snow Leopard Server for Wordpress

    I am trying to set up a mySql database on the snow leopard server in order to install wordpress.
    I have played around with the MySql database settings (in the server admin window) but can't seem to figure out how to set the database name, username, and password within the Snow leopard server.
    Do I need to use third party software like Navicat to create the database and user names etc? If yes, any idea how to do that? If now, how do I create a MySql database, username and pw?
    I have put the Wordpress install folder on my Snow leopard server. When I navigate to my domain it says I need to configure wordpress by providing my database name, username and password.
    Thanks in advance.. I am struggling here.

    That's set up via the [MySQL command line|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/376]. Or you can install the (free) Sequel Pro GUI package, given you're probably more comfortable in the GUI. The steps required for Mac OS X Server are the same as most any other platform, so [launch the MySQL client per the Wordpress Codex|http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress], and follow the instructions.

  • I can't (re)install Xcode for Snow Leopard

    After deinstalling of Xcode for Snow Leopard, when I try to install it again in AppStore I get 2 error messages, the first one is "This item is temporarily unavailable. / Please try again." and the scond one is "We could not complete your request. / There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)". I really need the Xcode and... what I've paid my $$$ for if I can't get the purchase?

    It looks like Apple forcing our moving to Lion.
    It's not good thing at all and for me specially. I have some software that aren't compartible with Lion so I can't move to it right now.
    So far, so less I like AppStore for Mac. The iPad/iPhone version of AppStore has no such problems, why the Mac's one has? Ugrh

    So I guess they just yanked it from the App Store. Boo!
    I contacted App Store support and they gave me my money back, so that's something, but what I really want is Xcode 4 for Snow Leopard.

  • Can I install a version of snow leopard server on a newer Mac Mini model?

    Hi-
    I have Snow Leopard server running on a Mac Mini from 2010. I decided I really need some redundancy so want to get another and sync them in case of failure. Can I buy the latest Mac Mini model and install Snow Leopard server on it or will it not let me due to some firmware limitation? I've been able to do revert on other models and not others. Any thoughts?
    Thanks.

    ****-So I have to find the latest Mac Mini that will run Snow Leopard Server? I refuse to upgrade to that crap they call server nowadays. It's Snow Leopard server till I move to Linux. Thing is, those Minis cost nearly as much now as they did when brand new. I feel like I'm getting ripped off. Oh well. Thanks for the quick answer guys!

  • Lion Server upgrade for Snow Leopard Server

    I can't seem to get the App Store to sell me Lion Server for my Snow Leopard Server.  I'm trying to remain positive about this but I'm getting really ****** that money isn't enough to make this happen.  My experiencewith the App Store and Apple policies in general is its almost time to dump OS X and head back to Open Source. 
    So, what's the secret?  I put money in my iTunes account.  I've done the 15 logins it takes to satisfy AppleID my account is complete and up-to-date in the store and the Support Communities.  How do I buy the software and actually download and install it?
    Thanks

    Upgrading Snow Leopard Server to Lion and then adding Lion Server is the ONLY way to go, There is no other way to install Lion Server.

  • Mobile account users can not log on to the snow leopard server machine?

    Hi all,
    I've setup a network user and designated it as a mobile account. ** OS X 10.6.2 **
    When the user logs out of the snow leopard server machine, home sync tries to sync the local and network home directories. It is never able to connect. The network home directory is automounted and is not the default path /Users. I can see the two home directories on disk.
    Anyone else able to have their mobile users log in to the snow leopard server machine without issues?
    OS X 10.6.2 **

    It was the Sync server was down and did not know it

  • Can I image Lion clients from Snow Leopard server using SIU?

    I have a new iMac Lion client I need to image to a number of machines, using Snow Leopard Server, but System Image Utility will not recognize the Lion client as a valid source volume?  Has anyone else experienced this yet?

    Images must always be created on the same OS.
    You'll need to download the Lion Server Admin Tools onto one of the clients and make it your "imaging system".

  • Why can't I access iCloud from Snow Leopard?

    I find it hard to believe that with all the loyalty that I've shown Apple through the years - literally thousands and thousands of dollars that I can't access iCloud through my iMac because it's not compatible with Lion. Is this true? Is there a work-around other than having to buy a newer Mac?

    Your machine (by computer standards) is pretty old so even though it doesn't have the ability to be upgraded to Lion is still capable and can continue to be used for what you originally bought it for. In your case it's time to upgrade computers if you think iCloud is something you really need.
    Why I understand your frustration just about everything moves forward so if you want to stay current you have to too. You can't really get angry with Apple (or any anything else for that matter) for wanting to move forward because old hardware that was never designed for newer software is left behind. My iMac while it's 5 years old still works fine for what I bought it for however I know Mountain Lion may be the limit it can support and I too will be forced to upgrade. Just progress, nothing more and nothing less.

  • Can anyone recommend a gamepad for snow leopard?

    Can anyone recommend a gamepad for my imac with snow leopard?

    i suggest you this:
    "Logitech Gamepad Wireless F710"
    how to use that?
    insert the "plug and forget" on the USB connector on your mac while hold the "Logitech" button in the middle of the gamepad. It should works. I've tried and playing many games such as NFS, PES, etc.
    btw another option is Xbox 360 wireless controller..
    peace out!

  • Can you open normal Apps in Snow Leopard Server?

    Hi people!

    Cheers

  • Why does it take so long for snow leopard to ship out?

    Are they low on stock? I ordered it back on Aug. 31st. I don't have my original discs and I needed a copy in order to reset iMac to factory settings.

    Looking across a number of forums it would seem there's been a bit of a run on SL since Lion came out. Make of that what you will.
    Amazon appear to have no stock, though a few Market Place dealers have, at inflated prices.
    You'd be wise to get replacements for the original discs, too. The retail OS installer doesn't include the bundled software (primarily iLife) or Apple Hardware Test, which is tailored to the specific model.

  • Why can't I add a secure zone to my web site in the admin panel?

    I would like to add a secure zone (or add files to the site) to one of my web sites but I don't have that option in this account. What is the problem here and how to I fix this? In my main account I have the more options under the "Site Manager" tab. However, under this account I only have two options, Web Forms and System emails. Need help ASAP.

    Hi Mr. Baker,
    The option of secure zone depends on your site plan. However, I'd suggest you to please login to your site, hover mouse on your name at the top and go to My Details. Scroll down and make sure "Enable online editing" is checked. If its checked already and still not getting the secure zone option, please provide us the site URL and we'll investigate the issue.

  • X code download for snow leopard

    You need Xcode 3.2. It is still available for download. The question is why anyone would want to develop for Snow Leopard, but that's your concern.

  • Server Admin. file sharing lion client to Snow leopard server

    I'm running Lion on my client Mac and my Server is Snow leopard 10.6.8.  I have to use Server Admin 10.7 on Lion but there is no "File Sharing" tab to set up or edit the file sharing options on my 10.6 server?.  I understand this is correct for Lion Server, but how do I get round it for Snow leopard Server??  On the Apple website compatibility page (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1822) it states:
    "Mac OS X Server v10.6
    To administer a Mac OS X Server v10.6-based server, you can use the Server Admin Tools 10.6 on a Mac OS X v10.6 (client) computer. You should match the version numbers of the server, tools, and admin workstation as closely as possible; for example, use Server Admin Tools version 10.6.8 on Mac OS X v10.6.8 to administer Mac OS X Server v10.6.8. You may also use the Server Admin Tools 10.7 on an OS X Lion computer to administer Mac OS X Server v10.6."
    So, How do I administer file sharing???

    To configure File Sharing on a 10.6 server using 10.7 Server Admin, click the service (AFP, SMB, NFS, etc.) then click the Share Points tab.
