Ok. Please run the same command with "--no-check-ports" as an additional argument on the command line. This will tell the PBX to start even if there was a port issue. Then (assuming the "Bus error" is gone), login to the PBX web interface (I see that you have provided the port 8081 as the http port on the command line) as system admin. Navigate to Admin->settings->Ports page. At the bottom on that page you have the LDAP port set to 389. Change it something else and restart the PBX.

 

OK, this is what I saw when I did that - Still can't open the web interface...

OK, got pbx.xml edited to http 81 https 82, attempted to start the PBX and get this:

 

miniserver:snomone don$ ./pbxctrl-darwin9.0 --http-port 8081 --https-port 8082 --no-daemon

Starting up

Bus error

miniserver:snomone don$

 

Now what? Thanks...

You need a shell (a "terminal"); I think you can find more information here: http://macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2001/12/14/terminal_one.html. But you don't have to read the whole book, all you need is the "cd" command (change directory). You can use "ls" to see what is in that directory, just to make sure that you are in the right place.

Thanks... that link was very helpful. OK, got that accomplished and attempted to start the system and got this.."FATAL: Could not open TCP port 80 for HTTP/HTTPS" in a file named pbx_startup_err.txt

 

I do have a PBX.XML file now - what do I use to edit it?

 

How do I know what port numbers to change HTTP: and HTTPS: to??

 

Thanks...

[admin console setup for Mac OS X Server]

Oh it is generated the first time the system starts up... Obviously you di not get to that point yet! You can fix it with this: cd into the directory where you installed the PBX, then start the PBX process manually with this:

 

./pbxctrl-mac --http-port 8080 --https-port 8081 --no-daemon

 

This will also print the console output, in case there is other trouble you will be able to see it.

 

You are correct - I did not get to the point of starting the system.

 

Please explain in more detail the fix:

cd into the directory where I installed the PBX..

and then what exactly do I do in the folder PBX?

Where do I enter that line of code? How do I start the PBX process?

And don't I need to change it to another port than port 80 due to conflict with Mac mini web server on port 80? Thanks...

[admin console setup for Mac OS X Server]

Take a look at the pbx.xml file and set the ports that you like.

 

Thanks for the prompt reply. I appreciate it. I'm really looking forward to using this product on the Mac mini server.

 

Where do I find that file PBX.XML? I've searched the hard disk and can't locate PBX.XML. I see an snomone folder in a folder named Library.

 

Within the snomone folder, there are two audio folders, a PBX folder and two other files, pbxcntrl-darwin9.0. If I open the PBX folder, there is a PBX file, but I see nothing in it related to Port 80 when I open it with a text editor.

 

What am I missing? Thanks again...

Mac OS X installation is a little tricky because there is currently no installation package (wiki installation guide for OS X refers to an installation package which is not currently available)

The Mac OS X instructions should probably also stress more clearly the need to change the port for the pbxnsip admin console. It runs as its own webserver and most OS X Servers will already be running the preconfigured webserver on port 80. I changed to port 81 and can now logon to the admin console - by using url: http://localhost:81.

 

I'm new to the product -

Can someone help me with the process to change from port 80 to port 81?

 

I'm installing on a new Mac mini server and in fact the Mac's own webserver runs on port 80.

Install ran properly and finished. When I launch browser to http://localhost, I get the "MAC OS X Server" screen "please select from these available web services: My Page, Wikis, Blogs. Can snom be added to this page as a service?

 

How do I know that snom PBX service is running?
