If you want to display the contents of a folder make sure “Folder Listing” is checked on your site under “options”. Then just make sure everyone has read only access to that folder.

Can you access the files if you go:
http://www.yoursite.com/pub/file.jpg

[Ross]

Go to folder “/Volumes/”

Just move the directory that is a folder (not sure what its called on your box) out of the “/Volumes”…. then reboot the server. The server will fix itself… on boot it will change (volumename 1) back to (volumename).

Then figure out what files need to be migrated from the directory you just moved.

Well looking closer at this my Junk mail log… it shows the emails getting scanned, but no hits are taking place. Even where there should be hits. I’ll keep pluging away

[Ross]

Hmmm, I don’t see anything domain related in that file. I can’t even find much of any thing related to SPAM Assassin, except for section VII and there are not many domain settings there. Can someone post a sample file, so I can take a peak?

[Ross]

If you check them as “administer this directory domain”, they should have local admin access rights.

I have seen this when a drive doesn’t mount that contains User Home Directories and someone tires to login. It will create a new directory in /Volumes and start putting the home directories in there.

So if your Home directory share was /Raid/Users/

And your RAID was not mounted and a user tried to login, it would create a folder in your Volumes called RAID and start storing the home directory in there. When you RAID volume comes backup its renamed RAID 1.

You have to delete the directory In Volumes and reboot… Then you should be back to normal. Of course if its been like this a while you may have many user files in there. I have seen clients use this for months before realizing it.

[Ross]

Sounds like the user is getting disconnected… I have seen this when server reboots while users are connected. Keeps them connected but they can’t write to the directory (since its not there). More so with automated shares. Does it show the user still connected in server admin?

[Ross]

Are you doing this on Tiger and Xsan1.1?

I have had problems with Xsan1.1 and Tiger so far using two NIC’s. It seems when I turn off the second NIC (non metadata network) it is stable. But as soon as its back on… problems. I don’t experience this with Panther and Xsan1. I have just started testing with 1.1 and Tiger…. so I don’t have to much info but right now its not fun.

[Ross]

Very easy… Set up users on the OD server and use Mobile Accounts. When a user logs in it will create a mobile account on the local machine (local home directory). All the data is stored locally and does not sync (with Panther).

Or just create local account and bind the client to the server and managed by computer lists. This way you still manage prefs, but account are local.

[QUOTE BY= xadmin] fresh? where does one get that?[/QUOTE]

A backup, another box, or install Tiger server on another box/drive, just to get those files.

[Ross]

[QUOTE BY= tkn0spdr] I’m having almost the opposite problem. I set up DNS on my server and it’s working great. I can now surf to my internal sites when I never could before.
I can still surf the Internet but it’s much slower than it was when my clients were using my ISPs nameservers instead of mine. What do I need to do to get resolution back up to speed without loosing the functionality I’ve gained?[/QUOTE]

You do exactly what the person did in the first post. You add forwarders to your DNS server so any domains that do not exist on that server get forwarded to your other ISPs nameservers.

[Ross]

Sounds like its your DNS … Make sure you have DNS entries in your network settings. If you can put this IP in your browser:

http://216.239.57.99

And see google… its your DNS.

[Ross]

Are you talking about the “Resolve DNS Names” preference? This didn’t help… I have seen this on every Tiger server upgrade I have done. I don’t think I have done any Tiger server setups from scratch yet, but I was able to confirm that other people are seeing this on the OSX server mailing list. Strange….

[Ross]

You could get two NIC and have one NIC connect to the DSL and then do NAT, this is your only choice since I’m betting you only have one IP. Then have the other NIC on an internal IP, but its just not the best way to handle this kind situation.

The best thing to do is get a router of your own or configure it or have the ISP configure the one you have to do port forwarding. Port forward VPN settings to the server and setup a VPN server.

[Ross]

As far as I know this has never been supported in any OSX server, I doubt it ever will. Since its over the same network connection how would the system know who is logged in and who is not.
