If you can't access the administration page

Profile Manager's basic setup is in Server app. You must use Safari to access Profile Manager's /mydevices webpage and the administration webpage.

Only server administrators can access your administration page. How to quite app mac. The URL format for your administration page is:

  • https://your_server's_fully_qualified_domain_name/profilemanager
    Example: https://www.example.com/profilemanager

To enroll an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or a Mac, go to:

  • https://your_server's_fully_qualified_domain_name/mydevices
    Example: https://www.example.com/mydevices
  • I've tried three different ways to create a symbolic link to Sublime Text on my Mac and, after restarting terminal each time, it still keeps telling me command not found. I'm using a Mac with Yosemite (OSX Yosemite, 10.10).
  • You must create a symbolic link as shown above if you want to use it without going into the waifu2x-mac-app.app directory. Additionally the symbolic link will break if you move the macOS app. You can delete the old symlink with unlink /usr/local/bin/waifu2x and run ln -s again to create a new one.
  • Symbolic Links (symlinks) are a function of the UNIX underpinnings of OS X to create something like an alias, but at a low-level in the filesystem. Aliases were introduced in Mac OS System 7 and were then carried forward to Mac OS X. They are a pointer to a file or a folder somewhere else, even on a server.
  • The Mac App Store version Notebooks is not allowed to follow and resolve symbolic links if the link's target is outside of Notebooks' home folder or resides on a different partition. Folders seem empty and Notebooks displays their titles in a lighter color.
  • How to Create and Use Symbolic Links (aka Symlinks) on a Mac; Does the app allow controlling syncing to mobile apps? Unlike the regular web app, you cannot choose a mobile app as a target for syncing. If you wish to sync content to a supported mobile app, please either do so directly from the mobile app in question or use our regular web app.
  • The Mac App Store version Notebooks is not allowed to follow and resolve symbolic links if the link's target is outside of Notebooks' home folder or resides on a different partition. Folders seem empty and Notebooks displays their titles in a lighter color.

If you can't access the administration page with a web browser other than Safari, try with Safari. If you can't access it with Safari, try the following troubleshooting steps.

Check your DNS server

DNS settings are important when you're managing a Profile Manager deployment. If Profile Manager doesn't open, make sure your server points to a reliable DNS server. Multiple instance adobe connect app mac.

If you can't push profiles or apps to clients

If you experience issues when you push profiles or apps to client systems, check the system log file in Console. If it reports that your server can't reach Apple's APNs servers, check your network's configuration. Make sure that all needed ports are open.

In this mode Photos uses symbolic links, a macOS feature that lets apps converse storage by referencing files. This is the preferred mode for anyone looking to keep images and videos manually organized in multiple folders or external drives on their Mac.

For more information, turn on APNS debug logging with these Terminal commands:

You can find the log file at /Library/Logs/apsd.log.

After your APNS transactions are logged, use these Terminal commands to turn off debug logging:

If you get other issues with Profile Manager

Profile Manager logs can help you fix issues with Profile Manager. You can find a symbolic link named 'devicemgr' at /var/log. This file points to /Library/Logs/ProfileManager, where you can find these logs:

devicemgrd.log
  • Provides the status of querying and syncing Open Directory and Active Directory users and groups.
  • Reports errors that occur from queries executed by devicemgrd.
  • Displays entries related to sending push notifications.
  • Displays entries related to DEP and VPP transactions.
dm_helper.log
  • Logs information related to MDM related user authentication from macOS network users.
dmrunnerd.log
  • Displays the status of starting and stopping the managed ruby processes that support the Profile Manager webpage (/profilemanager and /mydevices). This log is sometimes empty.
migration_tool.log
  • Shows the status and details of migration from a previous Server.app version.

php.log

  • Lists the IP addresses of devices that Profile Manager manages. If your devices are behind Network Address Translation (NAT), IP addresses listed here might not match.
  • Shows the interaction of MDM commands sent to devices and their responses.
  • Lists profile installation attempts and all commands sent to devices.

php-fpm.log

  • Displays the status of starting and stopping the individual php-fpm helper processes.

php-fpm.devicemgr.log

  • Issues with PHP are logged to this file.
PostgreSQL-<yyyy-mm-dd>.log
  • Logs any queries with Profile Manager's PostgreSQL database that result in an error.
  • This also logs commands that change the database schema.
profilemanager.log
  • Logs all user interactions performed in the Profile Manager administration page.
  • Lists error messages related to the Profile Manager webpage (/profilemanager and /mydevices).
  • Managed ruby process transaction issues are logged here.
servermgr_devicemgr.log
  • Logs the starting and stopping of the Profile Manager service.

These logs can also provide helpful information:

  • /var/log/apache2/service_proxy_error.log
  • /var/log/system.log

In macOS Sierra and later, some information is stored via Unified logging. The following terminal command can provide you with some additional helpful information:

About transaction 'failures'

Some of these logs might list transaction 'failures' or retries. Most of these entries are expected and don't indicate an issue. These logged events are conflicts between attempts to modify the underlying PostgreSQL database at the same time. These kinds of failures retry until they succeed.

You can identify transaction conflicts when you see any of these notes in your log files:

  • Canceled on conflict out to pivot
  • could not serialize access due to concurrent update
  • @@@ Retry #X
  • @@@ Retry X

Use verbose logging to find more info

More information on how to fix an issue is sometimes available if you increase the log level. To gather the information you need, reproduce the issue after you increase the logging level.

When you're finished, revert to the original logging level. If you leave the logging level at a higher setting, it decreases the available space on your startup drive.

Turn on verbose logging

To increase the level of logging, use this Terminal command:

This automatically restarts Profile Manager Service.

Turn off verbose logging

To revert the logging level back to its original setting, use this Terminal command:

This automatically restarts Profile Manager Service.
