royco Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Leopard Server 10.5 on a hack I have successfully installed Leopard 10.5 Server in my hack. Seems to work pretty well, altho I need to read up on some documentation so I can know the in n outs of Apple's server OS( looks simple enough tho to get it up and running). How I did it? Simple. You are basically converting your Leopard 10.5 Client Install to a Leopard Server install. Most info here are bits and pieces around the forum and a few hours of experimenting. I used the Flat install method(see my sig) because of speed of install, but any other install should work. Used serial from iserial Dec pack and says will not expire( unlike the old one that expires this December) Get a hold of the Server image floating around from your favorite places Get a working Leopard Client install up and running, TOH, Brazilmac or Flat-image. Apply all patches required for your install. PC_EFI recommended, have not tried using the regular non PC_EFI install method but I think is should work also. From your Leopard Client Install run the Leopard server dmg. Double click and install Mac OS X Leopard Server. Restart after the setup. You will now configure your server upon boot up. Select STANDARD just to get you going. Complete the rest of the setup. I dont know why but it takes about 30mins to finish. Start configuring your server after restart Heres the guide I used to install PC_EFI v7.3 PCI_EFI install guide Problems/issues encountered - Checking the logs, I get some kind of error. Check yours. know nothing about it right now. - Configuring the Web server seems to take a long time to read and save the configuration. - Windows computers cant access the Leopard server by name only by IP, but I havent looked into it yet, maybe just a restart on the windows PC will solve it. Pics and more updates to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royco Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 Wow! good info... i heard Leopard has some trouble with internal DNS... Yes, I think its log points to a probably misconfigured Bind. Does not seem to affect normal operation tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile2go Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hi, What's the out come with the leo server install? From what I can tell you just used a regular leo server install disk and not a hacked one, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joedredd Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Interesting. I may have to give this a try. Have you tried 10.5.2 on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boza1998 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'm expecting 10.5.2 comboupdate to crash my hackintosh. Will be good if Kalyway explains what it has modified with Pacifist for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
