Hi All
I am new to OSX Server but have network and windows server experience but decided to move to OSX Server.
I have bought myself a mac mini server with snow leopard server. I dont have BB yet since I have just mvoed but thought I'd set up my new server just on my local subnet (192.168.0.x) so I can create a Open Directory Master to authenticate my MacBook Air (when it arrives) and run a small network\domain for my business.
I am still in the process of buying my domain name and when I get my broadband set up again I'll set up the DNS for the WWW but for now I am ust trying to set up DNS on my local network so I can connect to my server via its FQDN and not its IP.
Anyway I seem to be having trouble with setting up the DNS part of this whole operation. When I tried to set up an Open Directory Master I got an error sayig it couldnt create it and I need to check the logs, I checked the log and it errored out on not being able to start the SLDAP process which seems to suggest something is wrong with my DNS set up.
I enabled DNS during my server build to run on my server, so my Zones look like
Primary Zone LookUp
ServerName ServerName.Domain.Com
I also have a reverse zone set up.
Now I cant seem to resolve my servers FQDN of ServerName.Domain.Com, only its Server.Local and IP work.
Any suggestions or pointers here will be really helpfull.
