Xsan Mac OS X Server

Does my Xsan server must to have Mac OS X Server installed? or just the Mac OS X is enough?

OSX is enough.
OSX server will give you more options as far as management, control, and monitoring.

Using my home Mac as a server

I would like to put my pictures on the web so that certain clients can view their photos with password. I photograph weddings and would prefer to make html slide shows of their wedding pictures so that they can view them anywhere with any computer. I would like the setup to be as simple and reliable as possible. I have an additional 250GB drive in the Mac that I wish to use as the storage of individual folders that contain the slide shows. If it would help I can get a dedicated 2nd Mac as the server if necessary. I was told that I would need a static IP address and some kind of software. I thought I could use file sharing on my computer but after reading numerous articles over the net, I am quite confused as to what I need. All I want to post is photo galleries that have about 600 to 700 pictures each that a client can view and that I can delete some or all of them after 30 days to be replaced by new ones. What software, hardware, etc. would be necessary to do this. Any suggestions welcome.

OSX server or client are both capable of handling this, as long as you have enough disk space. A site like this would probably only require a simple script on the server, server side includes (.shtml) and some javascript in the page itself. Frequently changing directories with basic authentication would probably best be done with .htaccess files. It isn't brain surgery, but there are reasons that people can make a living doing this kind of work.
A static IP would be needed so that when the users aim their browser at your site, they're not aiming at a moving target. Be aware that many/most/all ISPs that have home broadband networks block web servers.
Try turning on the web sharing, and try making one of these sites and see what comes of it. One cavaet that I see coming, is that the names of the images will probably vary from one shoot to the next, so that's why I was thinking that a server script to list the the image names and put them into a javascript array for the page to use to call for the different images.

2 internal hard drives Mac Pro Tiger Server

I have a mac pro 10.4.11 server that has 2 internal hard drives. 1 is 232.89 GB which is the main startup drive and the second is 465.76 Gb which I had pre installed for extra storage. My question is when I look in Server Admin under sharing and I click the "all" tab. It displays 2 hard drive icons and when you select either one, they consist of the exact same things. Do I need to format the second drive in a way so it will be recognized in the Server Admin Sharing?? I can install applications to the drive as it is recognized in the normal finder but I can't seem to get Server Admin to know it is there. I was going to use the second drive for mostly applications and storage. The other hard drive I was going to try and keep just for home directories.

This is the wrong forum for your topic. You should post it in the Mac OS X Server forum.

Old Web Server Software on Mac OS X Server 10.4.6?

I am wondering why my apache that is running is only 1.3.33 accordign to my webmin tool that my friend installed, the php and sql are old too.
I'm not a unix guru by any means and I want to upgrade these and enable GD etc, but I'm running 4 or more virtual servers by using the server tools and I don't want to break the builtin functionality of the server tools. Is apple going to upgrade this stuff on os x server?

Mac OS X Server ships with both Apache 1.3.33 and Apache 2.2 (in /opt/apache2).
You're more than welcome to disable Apache 1.3.x and use 2.2 if you prefer.
However, the Server Admin GUI will only currently work with Apache 1.3.x, so if you do you'll need to manage your configurations manually.

Mac OS X Server 10.0.4 Update

Hello,
I've been going through my software and downloading all the updates I can find. I was wondering if any of you might have this in your archives, Apple seems to have "lost" it and my usual haunts have come up empty.
I've recently bought Mac OS X Server 10.0, and I have some of the other OS X Servers (for the Xserve), it seems finding (just the) updates you need before OS X Server 10.3 is hit or miss.
In one example I'm trying to find:
Mac OS X Server 10.0.4 Update: Document and Software
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120035
( http://download.info.apple.com/MacOSX/062-8318.20010702/0z/10.0.4ServerUpdate.dmg.bin )
Dumps you at:
" This URL is no longer used. If you get to this page, please go to:"
http://www.info.apple.com/export/
... do strange loop.
(My cookies are enabled)
I know this is old, thats not the point, why is this and for that fact most of the other updates missing?
I'm not real clear if 10.0 Server is update-able to 10.1 Server with the OS X 10.0-10.1 update CD for the regular OS X to which you may then UD to MacOSXUpdateCombo10.1.5, they mixed it up so you can't tell - or I can't tell.
Mac OS X Server 10.1: Chart of Available Software Updates:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42741
See what I mean?
Even OS X Server 10.0.3 Update would suffice. I'd appreciate you all poking around - I got nothing.
Mac OS X Server 10.3.x on, stuff is easy to find, Server 10.2.x and earlier is a pain and this is the last time (hopefully) I'll need to do this.
If anyone with these updates could contact me that would be great or just reply to this post, this server will not be online - just to be clear.
Any help would be appreciated.

Not able to install mac os x server 10.5.4

Hello,
I've inherited a MAC g5 from a previous sys admin.
it had a number of issues so i decided to do a clean install.
i've set in my os x 10.5.4 server and rebooted that didn't work. when i chose the dvd it just hanged there.
so i installed a mac pro (came with the g5 ) as i've read in an online how to that described my exact problem. once done i tried installing the server again and same issue happened.
now i have mac pro on my g5.
after research it seems that my mac os x server 10.5.4 has another version which is older than the G5. so it cannot be installed.
i tried using a targeted mode though came into another set of trouble:
1. tried booting from the dvd using a macbook pro with a fire wire plugged into it.
result: macbook kept restarting when i chose the mac os x server
2. tried booting from dvd using an imac.
result: after choosing the dvd it hangs a bit and then boots normally from hardidisk.
3. picked an old IMAC and booted from it
result: it worked, and i installed the mac os x server on one of the HDD in my g5
once done, i've shut down both, unplugged firewire and then booted the G5
a grey screen appeared with another hdd in the middle of the screen and it just stayed there.
Can someone please advise how can i proceed?
PS: i've contacted the apple reseller, though as our support contract ended they couldn't help.

The retail disks I've seen in that era were usually black in color. The non-retail disks tended to be gray in color. IIRC, the part number for the 10.5.4 Mac OS X Server Leopard Server retail disk is MB605Z/A.
If it's not a retail disk, then the contents are usually tailored for a specific Mac box.
The MacBook Pro would have to be a fairly old model to boot 10.5.4; [here are the Mac Intel minimum OS version requirements (HT1159)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159], and (though there were no MBP PPC boxes AFAIK) [here are the PPC version requirements (HT2191)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2191].
The "issues" that precipitated this reinstallation sequence could well be a disk or processor or memory or other hardware problem with the server, too.

How to share raw partitions on Mac OS X Server ?

Hello,
I'm trying to build a RAC Database with 3 nodes. I have created 2 raw partitions for the OCR and CRS Voting Disk on the local hard drive of node 1.
I read the documentation concerning how to install a RAC Database on Mac OS X Server, but I don't know how to share the 2 raws partitions between my nodes.
Anyone could explain me how to share those raw partitions accross all nodes ?
Regards,
Bob

Good morning Bob,
I guess you refer the the linux firewire solution for rac. It would surprize me if that works for the mac since on linux they created special kernel modules for it to be able to run. When connecting 3 servers you would need a firewire switch. From what I have seen sofar, the mac mounts the firewire drives exclusively and the (linux)kernel modifictions change that to shared allowing multiple servers to connect.
For storage I would definately go for ASM. It makes you choice for storage hardware a bit less critical. Let oracle do what otherwise a highend SAN solution would do. Why are you building the RAC ? If it has a serious goal, get a xserve-RAID. I don't think you can get a better price/performance ratio. What other storage hardware do you have available ? (netapp would be fine ;-))
regards,
Ronald

Edit the default wiki template on Mac OS X Server

Hello,
I'm so new to this, I have a Mac Xserve with Mac OS X Server, I successfully enabled the following services and all up and running smoothly according to the criteria of my company:
ical Server, ichat Server, Web Server, MySQL, Podcast Producers Server, Mail Server, Wiki, and Blog Server. http://www.macsrv.cmrdi.sci.eg
I need to know how to edit the main template of the wiki and blog server (start page) to be able to add our company logo and so....
otherwise, I need to know if I can ser Unicode on it to add RTL languages like Arabic, I know I can type Arabic in the topics and there is not problems with this.
Regards

Start by reading this: http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/ExtendingYour_WikiServer.pdf
You will create a custom theme. Copy all the .xsl files into your theme folder. Modify default.xsl for most of the sub-level pages. Modify group_listing.xsl for /groups and /users pages. Your server index page is located in Library\WebServer\Documents. Most of what you want to do can probably be done through CSS.
Once your custom theme is finished set it as the default in the Admin Panel.

The server at Mac OS X Server Web Services requires a username and password

I am running SL Server 10.6.2, wiki works but when a person clicks an attached file in a wiki and then selects "open" they get a login popup with the notification The server at Mac OS X Server Web Services requires a username and password. It doesn't matter what they put into the login/pass it comes back. If they hit cancel then the document opens. If they click save then it saves with no issue. I can type in the admin login/pass of the server and it works. Does this mean the security settings to the location of the files is wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated!

By the way they are using Internet Explorer 7 when opening these documents.

Best practice to host websites on xserve with mac os x server leopard.

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to optimize the xserve to host multiple joomla sites...
Can some one help me with "hidden manuals or using your experience" about best practices out there...!!
It'd be great on your part...
Cheers

Erm, Joomla site hosting 'just works' with Leopard Server site virtualisation and the built in mysql.
If you want the best practice try Mac OS X Server Essentials Second Edition which has chapters about setting up multiple web sites.

VPN Settings Gone After Update to Mac OS X Server 10.5.4

For the second time, a point upgrade of Mac OS X Server 10.5.x Leopard has resulted in all VPN settings being wiped out and the service being shut off. Has anyone else had this experience, and if so, does anyone know if there is a known cause (which might be avoided)?

Please open terminal and post the output of postconf -n
Also, it would be useful to see log extracts from /var/log/mail.log and /var/log/mailaccess.log showing rejected mails.

Can't send mail using webmail on Mac OS X Server 10.4

Could someone help me figure out why I can't send email via webmail on Mac Mac OS X Server 10.4. I tried in and out of my LAN but it will not work. I am pretty sure that it's no firewall issue because it won't even work inside the LAN. Another thing I have considered is DNS issues. But my SMTP and POP3 works fine. Don't they use same DNS mail exchange record. Or should I ask my ISP to create a new record for webmail?

Can't login to Mac OS X server website after password reset

Hi,
I set up Mac OS X server for our small company and tried resetting the password of my network account that is managed via profile manager.
So, under Accounts->User->MYUSERNAME->reset Password, I typed in a new one and hit ok.
Now I can't login to the server website anymore (for editing our wiki or using profile manager etc.), neither with the new one nor with the old one.
I already tried different passwords (resetting it again and again), I looked at the password directive, I checked my user name, tried to login from different computers and tried logging in with another account (which worked quite fine, so it's just my account). Finally I searched the internet for a solution for quite some time but didn't find anything similar.
It would be great, if somebody could offer some advice.
Best regards.
Lasse

Solved it by deleting the user and creating a new one with the same userID.
Maybe it occured because I marked the "user has to change password after first login" box when resetting the password but didn't yet allow him to do so in the webpages menu?!?

Mac OS X Server 10.4.10-11 client user problems

It appears that since updating to Mac OS X Server 10.4.10 (and now 10.4.11), running on an XServe G4 with 2GB of RAM, QuarkXPress Passport 6.5 (and also 6.52) crashes at the splash screen when newly created network users launch it on client computers running OS X 10.4.8, 10.4.10 and 10.4.11. QuarkXPress runs fine when logged in as the computer owner with administrator rights.
Users created under Mac OS X Server 10.4.8 do not have this problem and are able to launch QuarkXPress 6.5 or 6.52 without a problem on these same computers.
Quark license verification is supplied by a QLA 4.5 server running on a seperate computer to the OS X Server system.
Can anyone give me any pointers as to what may be causing the crash? A couple of extracts from the crash log are listed below - the full log is available if anyone can decipher it:

Hi
Have you tried repairing privileges and permissions on the affected clients?
You could also try creating a new admin account on the affected clients and logging in with that. Launch Quark and see if it behaves the same way. If it does not then its more likely some damaged/corrupted plist or preference in the primary admin account’s Home/Library/Preferences folder.
It could also be down to a damaged/corrupted font or Xpress Preferences file. Running the 10.4.10/11 update could be a red herring and its just coincidence that the issues you are seeing happened after the update. Generally an application crashes on launch or when opening a file because its had a problem building the font list or trying to access/load a font when the file has been requested. If your Font Management system is Suitcase remove the Suitcase Preferences folder from /Users/Home/Library/Preferences and restart the mac. Hopefully Quark should now launch. Redefine font sets from there. Quark keeps its Preferences file in /Users/Home/Library/Application Support/Quark.
Of course it could be none of these in which case start looking at drive/directory issues or possibly system issues. You may be looking at an Archive/Reinstall of the OS or Reinstall of the application. Don’t rule out a rebuild either.
Hope this helps, Tony
