Wiki server without blog possible?

Hello,
is there a possibility that not every user can create their own blog? I can not moderate the wiki if users create their own blog and enter the Administrator no access.
Many thanks.

Thanks for the reply, but this is not what I mean. I have already tried many settings, this I describe a few lines later ...
My problem, or my found bug:
The admin has created a wiki and a user is granted read access. Now the user can also create your own blog:
goto "My User Settings ..." in the top of the site
enable blog under "Gerneral> Services"
gives admin no right under "Blog Permissions"
I've tried changes in the following files:
/Library/Server/Wiki/Config/collabd.plist
/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/share/collabd/coreclientwiki/pu blic/javascripts/settings.js
Also I tried to export the wiki, so a script can search for user blogs.
No Success.
Apple please help: To "OS X Server 10.6" I could disable blogs with the "Server Admin App". Please reactivate this feature, or what options I have?

PXE server without DHCP, possible?

Hey, is it at all possible to have pxe server (doesn't matter if I need to use a different distro), that is not also a dhcp server? We have a dhcp server at school on a Novell server, but the system admin (not a true system admin), won't let me play around with the Novell server to try to get a pxe boot working. Who can blame him. So I would like to take a linux box and put just us it as a pxe boot server. I can't seem to find anythign online though. Any help would be great!

pxe requires certain options to be passed to a booting client (via dhcp).
You can house the tftp instance on another server, but the dhcp server still has to specify the required info.
So..mark that as a "no" i guess.
You could always set up a test network (not connected to the real network), and run your own test dhcp server.

Reload group blog/wiki pages without restart Web server

Is it possible to reload the list of blogs/wikis on the web server without taken down the entire web server. I know in other version of apache there is the httpd reload command, but I am unable to find anything similar to it in OS X server 10.5.4. I have tried apachectl graceful but that doesn't reload the list of blogs/wikis.

It's not entirely clear what it is you're asking.
Are you saying you never want to see the filename in the address bar and that you want the address bar to always show http://intranet/blog/ ?
If so the simple answer is no - at least not with standard web programming. The only way you could is by using advanced techniques using DHTML/AJAX or something similar where you load content in the background and change the display rather than loading a whole new page. This is truly an advanced technique.
If my understanding of what you're trying to do is wrong, please post more details of what it is you're trying to do.

Can't delete a blog comment from Lion Wiki Server 3

Started the Wiki Server on my Lion Server today and as a test I added a test comment to a blog. After I saved it I wanted to see if I could edit, change the content or just delete the comment outright. The answer to all three is that I can't. I am logged in as the owner the wiki and the administrator for the server. I looked at the documentation and it appears that I should be able to do all three, but no luck. Any help would be apprciated.

You'll get a lot more help if you go to the Lion Server forum. The folks here mainly know about the client OS.

How to delete old unused blog tags from Wiki Server 3 in Lion Server

My Tags index in my Wiki Server 3 wiki (Lion Server) still shows old tags that are no longer in use.
But, how in the world does one remove them?
Any help?   Thanks.

I figured it out, but had one hoop to jump through.   I hadn't noticed a tiny little edit button in the far upper right corner of the tags window.   Clicking it reveals red minus signs next to each tag. That's how to delete a tag.
BUT, since my tags were no longer in use (I'd deleted the original blog(s) they were attached to, when I tried deleting them I got an error message.   So, I created a dummy blog entry, tagged it with the same tags that I want to delete, saved the blog, then went back to the all-tags view and deleted them (they existed this time). After done, I deleted the temporary blog.   All done.
It seems clear that the WIki 3 Server is very primative in many ways. I hope Mountain Lion reveals a host of improvements.

How to reset the wiki server (MAC OS X 10.9 with OS X Server App Version 3) with all wiki datas only

Hi,
I need to reset my Wiki on MAC OS X 10.9 with OS X Server App Version 3, but without reinstalling the whole server app to configure all services.
Does anybody knows how to reset the wiki server (MAC OS X 10.9 with OS X Server App Version 3) with all wiki datas only.
Thanks a lot for your hints

Hi Linc,
sorry, I haven't saved the System-Logfile before restoring my parallels VM.
But it looks like issues of linking data.
For testing the Server services I have done a reset for a user password and I have deleted the profiles and configuration from Client-Side. One with Mac OS X 10.9.1, one iPad with iOS 6.1.3. But it was not possible to reconfigure/reinstall the Server Profile. Also a manually configuration was odd, because for some services the new password was necessary and for other services the old password. Very strange.
To bring back the services I have rolled back the last snapshot of my parallels VM. Afterwards there was no probleme to reconfigure/reinstall the Profile on Client-Side (OS X 10.9.1 and iOS 6.1.3). Also the manually configuration shows the password for all services are matching with the current configuration.
I'm going to install a further parallels VM with Mac OS X 10.9.1 and Server App 3 from scratch to move the services.
Greetings

Use share located at server without SCCM roles

Hi,
The scenario is the following: sccm 2012 R2.
2 servers: first one is the server where sccm was installed and is DP too. Second server only is DP.
I need to deploy aditional software which source files are located at third server (without sccm roles).
Problem: When creating additional packages, I use a share located at the third server, and distribute the content to the second server (only DP role), but the package never distribute to the DP (in the sccm console I get an
error).
The question is:
It is possible to use source files located at a server without sccm roles?
Thanks in advance!

Source file access by the site server has nothing to do with the network access account.
Yes, the computer account for the site server must have access to the UNC where the source files are located -- both NTFS and share permissions (as Jörgen mentioned) There's no need to make it a local admin.
Note that the location of the source files has nothing to do with where the clients get those files from; clients always get source files from DPs.

Can't Host a Wiki Server's calendar using Server 10.8

I have setup server and attempted to have one of my calendars on iCal sync with the Wiki calendar
I have a user called bernard
I have a calendar in ical called bernardtraining
In the Wiki the user bernard has a calendar but I cant get ical to sync with the Wiki.
In iCal Accounts
I set up an account in ical lets call it server.myserver.private (hiding actual name)
user name = bernard
password is set to user password
Refresh 5 minutes
In Server Settings iCal Accounts
Server address server.myserver.private
server path aut populates to /principals/__uids__/7A7D303D-8265-47D5-BAD1-01E3DDD4CC37/ (maybe this is the problem)
Port = auto
SSL = No (for now)
No delgates
I then went through this process.....
When you set up iCal Server to provide the calendar service for a wiki, Wiki Server provides access to the calendars, so users who do not have wiki privileges do not have calendar service.
Use serveradmin via the Terminal app to change the setting.sudo serveradmin set calendar:Authentication:Wiki:Enabled = "<setting>" The default value for <setting> is “no”.
The other possible value is “yes.”
Command example:
sudo serveradmin set calendar:Authentication:Wiki:Enabled = "yes"
Use serveradmin via the Terminal app to designate the Wiki server.sudo serveradmin set calendar:Authentication:Wiki:Hostname = "<DNSWikiServer>" The default value for <DNSWikiServer> is the Wiki server’s fully qualified domain name.
Command example:
sudo serveradmin set calendar:Authentication:Wiki:Hostname = "wikiweb.example.com"
Use serveradmin via the Terminal app to encrypt the connection.sudo serveradmin set set calendar:Authentication:Wiki:UseSSL = "(yes|no)" The default value is “no”.
Command example:
sudo serveradmin set set calendar:Authentication:Wiki:UseSSL = "yes"
Still no success.
Can anyone help?

I did, and had it working last night. It won't now, though.
I don't understand port triggering, and when I attempted to look up the help files on the linksys site, they told me to register first - then they wouldn't let me fill in the email address section of the registration, so..
I don't use a firewall, and this computer I'm trying to host the server on is directly connected to the router. The wireless connection is with a laptop upstairs. I just checked, and my IP changed, but fixing that in Port Forwarding still does nothing. I can host the server... It just doesn't show up on gamespy.
Just about everywhere I read up on this, it mentions having to have a static IP address. I went through the guides that tell how to go about getting one set up, but still doesn't work. I don't have anything even remotely mentioning linksys in Network Connections though - that's on the laptop. Could this be the problem?
Another problem I ran into when setting up the router, was I'd get an error unpacking languages, or something. Got it every time, but it let me move on after closing the error so didn't think much of it.

Wiki Server Will Not Start After Installing Safari 4.0.5

*PLEASE HELP*
We have a production server running MacOS X Server 10.5.8 with all software updates installed.
Wiki server refuses to launch, though launchd tries to open it every 10 seconds.
When visiting www.domain.com/groups/community we see an error 503 in the web browser
*Steps Taken to Correct*
% sudo chown -R 94:94 /Library/Collaboration
% serveradmin stop teams && serveradmin start teams
Restarted the machine itself
% cd /Library/Collaboration && find . -name '*.plist' -exec xmlwf {} \;
*Those steps proving ineffective, we're now just trying to start over. We've removed all user generated content from the wiki directories and we just want the wiki server to launch successfully.*
Removed "groups" and "users" directories from /Library/Collaboration
Replaced /etc/wikid/wikid.conf with /etc/wikid/wikid.conf.default
Deleted /Library/Application Support/Apple/WikiServer/directoryIndex.db
Deleted /Library/Application Support/Apple/WikiServer/User Preferences/* (all user preferences)
WHAT AM I DO WRONG? HOW CAN I GET A FRESH WIKI INSTALL WITHOUT REINSTALLING THE OS? This is a production server. We'll have to go without wikis rather than introduce downtime. Thank you.

Wiki Server :500: An internal error occurred trying to process your request

Greetings,
10.6.6 server
Out of the blue our wiki server decided not to work anymore.
This issue is limited to the wiki server. (all other services work fine)
Users can log in authenticate and edit personal preferences, blogs etc.
I have removed Globalindex.db and sessions.db and allowed the index to rebuild with appropriate starts stops of teams. I have cleared out old users who's plist preferences could not be loaded.
All data is in place.
AFP permissions are solid.
User gets "500: An internal error occurred trying to process your request. Sorry." selecting a wiki or blogs, very polite but repeatedly unhelpful.
As soon as a user clicks on an group the following error shows in the log:
2011-02-09 13:45:34-0600 [-] Exception rendering:

I run many different kinds of systems here and I'm kind of stumped as I am not a developer.
any help at all would be great! thanks.

Hi,
Although this forum is for 10.5 server, after looking through the log errors my guess is that you have a corrupted PageGenerationTemplate.py file. I would replace the file with one from a backup file dated before the problem started.
Once you replace the file restart the web service.
HTH,

Stream-in images from client to server,without running the transmit code

Hello all,
Im using JMF for my current project.Right now,I am trying to only recieve images from the client without the client transmitting it.That is I dont want the transmit code to run on the client.
I should just be able to stream in the images from client to server, without running the transmit code on client.
Can this be done?
Thanks in advance

Can I know more about this?Sure.
<Side A>
You'd just need to write an application that doesn't have a GUI (so, a console-based application) that listens on some pre-determined port for a message to start broadcasting. Maybe you'd send it the IP/PORT number to start broadcasting on. Once it receives that message, it'd start broadcasting the web cam to the IP/PORT number until it received a message to stop. Once it stops, it'll just go back to waiting for the next "start" signal.
<Side B>
On the other side, you'd write an application that sends the start messages, receives/displays the videos, and then sends the stop signal. This will have a GUI, and be your "control program" so to speak.
Then, once of have both of those programs working...if you're using Linux, you're done. If you're using Windows, you'd need to modify the <Side A> program so that it can run as a Windows service.
There are a lot of ways to do this, you can google it or look at the following link:

NetStorage server without eDirectory installed on Linux OES2-SP2

Hello Forums
I was wondering if NetStorage can be working on a Single
SLES10-SP3/OES2-SP2, server without actually having eDirectory on the
server itself but pointing the NetStorage configuration to any server
holding a R/W replica of eDirectory, by this making the NetStorage
easier to move to e.g. DMZ, e.t.c, or just making it a simpler setup for
the NetStorage.
I have tried this with 2 servers, one server with eDir installed and one
where only NetStorage is "ticked" under the OES Install and Configuration.
I can get as far as getting the login page up byt aint able to authenticate.
for the Certificate i took the pem file from the server i points to and
place in the /etc/ssl/servercerts/xxx.pem
Well i think i read sometime this was possible without eDirectory
actually on the NetStroage server, could be i'm Wrong.
Any ideas on this would be great.
Thanks
- Michael

Any OES2 server HAS to have eDirectory on it (that I'm aware of to function properly). However, you may be asking the question in the wrong way. Not sure how you'd login to iManager on the OES2 server to manage NetStorage if the eDir database isn't on there.
You MAY be wanting to know if the OES2 server needs an eDirectory REPLICA on it (there's a big difference).
If that's what you REALLY are asking, then the answer is:
No, you do not need an eDir replica on the server that runs NetStorage. In fact, you could even put the NetStorage server into its own tree if you had to (it's a little more complex to setup at that point, but it CAN be done).

Apple's Wiki Server and Podcast Producer are one of the best if not the best product for serving podcasts BUT this application fails in certain areas that easily puts customers off considering that companies will always vie for a Pc solution.
My major issue with the Wiki server is the custom sidebar addition. Now this should so simple to add but if you try and add a custom sidebar following apples help directives below
Adding a sidebar to the home page
The home page of your wiki automatically displays items that are tagged "hot" in a sidebar, so that users will be more apt to notice them. If you're the site owner, you can add another sidebar that spotlights items tagged with another tag of your choosing.
*To add a custom sidebar:*
*Open your site's homepage and then click the Edit (pencil) button.*
*Click the Groups Settings button.*
*Click Sidebar and enter the tag that will be used to identify items to appear in the sidebar, such as "projectX."*
*Enter a title for sidebar, such as "Project X News," then click OK.*
*Click "save" in the toolbar to save your changes.*
*The five most recent Items tagged with the tag you specified will automatically appear in the sidebar.*
First the edit pencil in the home page does not provide one the capability to edit the custom sidebar settings but the actual appearance of the page such as the text and placement of media etc.
The custom sidebar settings can only be accessed via the Admin Functions/ settings/ even then you can add a single custom side bar and when you try to add another you will find that the details of the last custom sidebar is still in place. If you delete that information and add new information this will delete the previous custom sidebar creating a new one. Now this is such an annoying issue that Apple needs to resolve ASAP as some of us are trying to sell this product for it's other benefits.
Another area that it fails at is the display of items. Currently the maximum number of items displayable is 5. To increase this requires messing about with theme files and plist files! Now this should also be a simple feature that should exist in the Admin Functions settings area. Unless I am missing something then someone should enlighten me as to the mystery of these settings. I hope Snow leopard will have all these basic issues ironed out.

by "custom fields" i mean some additional fields. e.g i want a clerk to mail a minute sheet along with remarks of clerk, to an officer. now i have put some fields e.g clerk's name, type of mail (minute sheet etc), officer's name etc on the email form (i have designed that form in java and using javamail api to send/receive mails). while sending this email, clerk fills those fields and mail it to the officer. now depending upon the type of mail (if its a minute sheet or whatever), that mail should be opened in the appropriate form designed for that type of mail, showing all those additional fields, e.g clerk's name in clerk's name label, officer's name in officer's name label etc. is it possible that i can tel exchange server to store the information about those custom fields while storing the mail so that i can retrieve those fields later. hope u got my point.thanks
