Mac OS 10.6 Issues

aarmstrong

On the Mac OS 10.6.8 the installer runs fine. However there are two bugs:

- Nothing appears in the dashboard (even after rebooting)

-- error message is "Safari can't open the page "http://localhost:3344/" because Safari can't connect to the server "locatlhost"

-- http://localhost works fine.

From the unix command line, sending the 'load' command as detailed in the documentation says that it is "Already loaded". Loading & unloading have no effect.

Scanning the ports, there is nothing listening to 3344.

So it looks like at least launchd is working, but some other part is different then on Yosemite that causes it not to run.

Installer uses

/usr/bin/dscl

to create the user repetierserver which is used to run the server. Doc is from 2003 so I assume you have it as well?

In /Library/Application Support/Repetier-Server/logs you should find a server.log file that might give a hint.

To see if server is running execute

ps aux | grep tier

RepetierServer 29 0,0 0,0 2479384 4096 ?? Ss So07pm 0:06.76 /usr/local/Repetier-Server/bin/RepetierServer --config=/usr/local/Repetier-Server/etc/RepetierServer.xml

hope that one of the hints show what is different on 10.6.8
