Connecting Client to Server Issue 10.8.5

[Will S]

I created a step-by-step guide from my notes to help save others few headaches.  I think the guide is correct until running Makefile script. 

Here link: https://gist.github.com/wbs75/6562498

I've never used rails or ruby until I started tinker with munkiserver.  I setup development munkiserver several months ago and had no issue.  My OSX client was on VMware and Server setup was Ubuntu Vagrant.  This morning I tried setting up production server at my home Office with Mac-mini Server running 10.8.5 - Server 2.2.1 and Client on Mac Pro running 10.8.5.  I'm not able to get the client to connect to server using Makefile Scripts or by entering Manageninstall.plist manually.

* I notice when I use preflight script, it corrupts Manageninstall.plist

* But postflight script still generates  system_profiler_###.plist

* I notice  post by Greg and tweak preflight script to following and ManagedInstalls.plist is no longer corrupt.

#/bin/sh

MAC=`ifconfig en0 | awk '/ether/ {print $2}'`

/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/ManagedInstalls ClientIdentfier "${MAC}.plist"

* I added info from Client Pref manually and then run postflight manually which will generate a system_profiler_###.plist.

Any Method I've tried I cannot get CLIENT connected to Server !!!!  

Any help would be appreciated!!! Take a look a my Notes/guide incase issue is in setup.

Thanks in Advance!!!

Hi W,

This is a good guide.  Thanks!  

A few things:

1) You should be using the latest version of Ruby 1.9.3p448 (not p0), there have been hundreds of patches, speed increases and security fixes.

2) I noticed on the last line that you start the server with `rails s -e production` when you've already setup passenger, apache, etc.  No need, just hit the host at port 80 or whatever you have configured.  To restart the server after production changes, you can do a sudo apachectl restart.

As for your client not connecting, can you confirm that SoftwareRepoURL and ManifestURL are both set to http://your_server_dns_here.com ?

Also, you might get more insight about what is happening with the client by running `sudo /usr/local/munki/managedsoftwareupdate auto -vvv`

Having issue with passenger!!!  I tried making edit to httpd's.conf in "/Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/sites" and "/private/etc/apache"  Neither seems to be working.

When i run $ trigger passenger-install-apache2-module i get error: "message trigger: command not found"

any suggestions?

[Riley Shott]

I don't recall using trigger. Have you tried calling passenger-install-apache2-module without it?

`passenger-install-apache2-module`

It looks like you're trying to use the Web service in Server Admin. In my opinion it's easier _not_ to use this.

I would turn it off the Web service in Server Admin and configure Apache manually. Or in other words, just use the httpd.conf in the following folder:

/etc/apache2

Alternatively, you can try using my munkiserver Puppet module, which should* automatically provision a munkiserver for you. May be best to test it on a VM running Mac OS X Server first.

*No guarantees, aim away from face.

@ Riley, I miss read this guys post. Solved passenger issue!!!!  Edit the /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/sites/0000_server.Network-Name_.conf only with MtnLion Server!!!!

When you edit /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/sites/virtual_host_global.conf, it reverts back to default.

Here what my  "0000_server.munkiserver.com_.conf" looks like.   And I updated Guide.  I will test InstallESD.dmg bootstrap to munkiserver out tomorrow.

Thanks guys for help.
