asap18 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I managed to get my hackintosh running Server 10.4.7 with everything working. Including the server admin app, mysql, and everything else that it comes with. It sure is beautiful. Here is what I did: Install Jas 10.4.6 Updated using Jas 10.4.7 update Intel Install MacOSXServerInstall.pkg under other installs on the server dvd u can find at the demons. Booted up asked for a serial (use serial box) and voila a fully working server Ive used Ubuntu server, fedora, and windows, but Mac server beats them all hand down. Here are some pics. Some are distorted due to my x300 artifacts. And i cant include the server admin menu since it has my full name...Apple Legal Department. phot1.tiff phot2.tiff phot3.tiff Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27793-1047-server-success/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdriven Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Wow, nice. I dont know if this will work on a G3 I can make into a dedicated server... Overall that looks to blow other servers outta the water Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27793-1047-server-success/#findComment-189695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
asap18 Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 thanks, i gotta admit this is the easiest and nicest server ive worked with. U get mail, webmail, ftp, dns, nfs, ssl, apache, quicktime broadcaster, and all sorts of stuff out of box. Even Itunes 7 works natively without problems like some others. I have to admit tho this was really easy to install. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27793-1047-server-success/#findComment-189697 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overdriven Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Ehh Got an hour left by the speed I'm pulling... I just ressurected my iMac and hopefully I can do the iPod install method (Lack of a DVD drive) and Xpostfacto unless Server Tiger still supports ALL G3's?

Hagar Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 oh just to add. U need to convert the dmg of server 10.4.7 to read write and remove the VolumeCheck Very crucial point.. I went the pacifist route around this & nothing will run. maybe more detail on how you did the r/w conversion & where the volume check is might be helpful.

asap18 Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 ok, you right click the 10.4.7 server disk image and go to open--- open with---- disk utility. U shud see the server 10.4.7 disk image then on the left. Click it once and click convert at the top of the screen. Then change under image format to read write. To remove the VolumeCheck after it is converted to r/w, Mount the converted dmg, go to other installs, right click the MacOSXServerInstall.pkg, click Show Package Contents, double click contents and u need to just drag VolumeCheck to the trash. Yes, and dont extract it with Pacifist, U dont install the packages seperately like that because the MacOSXServerInstall.pkg installs the other packages needed.

np101137 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Two questions... Does this work on a hackintosh, and what is the advantage of server? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27793-1047-server-success/#findComment-189879 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korrupted Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Did you even read the topic? They all said it works on their hackintoshes. Mac OS Server lets you run a server, which you can have a mail server, web server, etc. on.

np101137 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Sorry, noob here, what are servers and what is the advantage of that over regular os x?

asap18 Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 servers are the computers that process and "host" varying protocols like http, ftp, mail, and others. On os x server, if u have a domain u can host mail, websites, ftp and other services. This website is run on a server which hosts the website files and outputs them into what u see on your screen now.
