Configuring a headless Xserve with more than two drives
I called Apple and they offered little help to configure it headless, since they don't support CLI tools. What's up with that!!!! They give us this UNIX based system and then tell us they don't support CLI tools.... hahahahahah..... are they part of the Federal Govt now??? Sounds like it....
No kidding...
I had a client this morning that had a problem with apache not starting after the 10.2.5 update to his XServe. apachectl configtest returned a good config, and running apachectl start claims to start, but it didn't.
Uhhh...
1. Know what you're doing - in the context of OS X Server -
when you use the terminal. Just because you do something
a certain way on Linux doesn't make it so on OS X/OS X
Server. So if you don't know what you're doing, don't be
surprised if you break something.
2. Apple *will* support the command line, if you really need them to...but it requires a premium support agreement with Apple: http://www.apple.com/ support/products/macosxserver_sw_supt.html 3. Where do you put all those sites? a. Use the Server Settings GUI, like you're supposed to. You can have as many custom sites/virtual hosts as you want. b. Use the Apache 'include' architecture to include directives you need instead of editing http_macosxserver.conf. This is all documented and has been discussed elsewhere numerous times.
Uhhh...
I have AppleCare Premium Service and Support on my Xserve.
As I said...
You need a specific support option for command line
support, which I linked in my original message. It clearly
states, among other things:
Darwin layer and open source system component support Just because the Xserve has a certain capability doesn't imply it should be supported out of the box with the standard support options (including Premier support for Xserve). The fact that it CAN do these things is welcomed by many people, and Apple shouldn't be chastised when people don't have the support options and/or capability to figure it out on their own. |
