How do i install Lion Server on OS 10.7.2?

I have tried several times to install Lion Server on my iMac. But with no luck. Is says when it try to install:
Can't install Server Essentials because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
And then i search on the net. And found, i think a reason, why i can't install.
It is that it can only be installed on 10.7.0 and not on 10.7.2, inspite it said in the App Store under requirements: Mac OS X 10.7 or later.
Is there any there have some experience with this problem?

I installed Lion Server and when I click on the Profile Manager I get an error and nothing shows - I can't figure out how to re install Lion Server to fix this - any ideas

I installed Lion Server on my Mac Pro. Everything looked to be working until I checked Profile Manager and I get an error message "Error Reading Settings" Not sure how to fix it. Tried to download Server agian but can't.

Look at /usr/lib/libpq library. I have had the same problem. There were following files:

Install lion server

Can you keep your old settings and files when installing Lion Server over Lion?

"other things that might go wrong"...is that simply a comment on the history that major upgrades typically do strange things until the bugs are worked out
It was a CYA statement
Oobviously, Lion is not yet available publicly so it isn't possible to tell how soothly the migration procress will go. If it's anything like previous versions it'll work fine for 99% of users and the remaining 1% will be very vocal about how awful it was for them.
Overall, I just didn't want to be in a position where I said "you'll be fine" only to find that something non-CPU related cauces a hiccup.
In my opinion, if you only have one server and it's important to your business, hold off a little and let the dust settle. You won't lose mch by waiting a week or two, and that's long enough to get a feeling for how well it works.

How do I install lion on multiple family computers?

How do I install lion on multiple family computers?

Once you have purchased Lion for download via the App store, you can repeat the process with each computer and the App store will indicate that you have already purchased it and will ask you if you want to download and install it on each computer.

How do I install Lion on more than one Mac

How do I install Lion on more than one Mac? As I have a MacBook Pro and a iMac?

Purchase Lion on one of the machines.
Log in to the MAS with the other machine, using the same Apple ID you originally bought Lion with. Go to the Purchased Tab and Lion should be available for download. It should say Install.
It's possible that you will be asked for credit information as a form of verifying who you are.

USB on Intel Macs has always supported booting, that is what MacBook users have had to deal with. With a Mac Pro you have four internal drive bays, Firewire, and all of those are more suited and capable.

Serious log in issues after installing Lion Server

Hi all,
I am relatively inexperienced with software involving essentially anything technical, so you will have to pardon my ignorance.
I am currently trying to set-up a wireless network at home using Lion Server, and it would appear I have bitten off more than I can chew. I installed Lion Server on Tuesday, and have been battling with it ever since - attempting to use a 'We Got Served' guide to walk me through.
I installed the Server app on my iMac as I figured the 3 computers on the network would not require very much space, and so there would be little point in buying a whole new machine to run it from. Whilst I was having little luck in making it work as I had hoped - I have now managed to completely lock the iMac. Since it's installation I have had no issue logging in and out of my actual account on OSX, however earlier the computer froze following an Adobe update and I was forced to do a hard restart. However, when I attempted to log back in I now get the following error:
"You are unable to log in to the user account "xxxx" at this time.
Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."
I have tried everything in my limited knowledge to rectify this, and nothing works it would seem. I've read examples of this happening when trying to log into the actual server app, or where the hard drive is corrupt on the machine itself - this seems to be a hybrid of the two.
I can no longer open the computer in Safe Mode, however when I go into Disk Utility all disks when verified appear to be absolutely fine with disc repair making no difference. The only available drive is now listed as a Server drive so I cannot even re-install Lion on there.
This is causing me much distress as I can as far as I can tell not only log into my computer, but can do nothing to repair the issue bar erasing everthing from it. There is a lot of important data on there and I am confident that it is not actually corrupt, however Server seems to have just locked it completely.
Help would be much appreciated!

I am having a similar issue, but in my situation, my users cannot log in. All of my users are network users on Mini's. I am running 10.6.8 on my server. I have created users before with no issues, but have not done so in months. When I try to log the new user in, I get the following error:
xpchelper: Could not get path of user account (uid:1029) home directory:/Network/Servers/server.xxx.net/Volumes/Data/Users/username; error; The operation couldn't be completed. No such file or directory. Using home directory.
CFPreferences: user home directory at file://localhost/Network/Servers/server.xxx.net/Volumes/Data/Users/username/ is currently unavailable. User domains will be volatile.
Authorizationhost: error |-[homedirmounter mount NetworkHomeWithURL: attributes: dirPath: username:]|PremountHomeDirectoryWithAuthentication (url=AFP://server.xxx.net/Users/homedir= /Network/Servers/server.xxx.net/Volumes/Data/Users/username, name=username) returned 5.
I have no idea of what to do. I have verified that the user looks the same as my other users in WGM. The user's folder was created on the server. The user has access to the folder. I'm not sure what else could be wrong here.

Does installing Lion Server mean: No Sleep ?

Hi,
I have the problem, that my iMac won`t go to sleep automatically after the time I setup in the energy saver settings.
I can get it asleep, if I select Sleep in the Apple menu, but it is only working manually.
I already tryed resetting PRAM, NVRAM, SMC and I even already did a clean install of lion Still the same problem.
But I also installed Lion server and I could imagine this is a problem.
Is here anybody, who installed Lion server and who can confirm, if his Mac falls asleep by itself or not?
If Lion Server is the problem, I would do another clean install without Lion Server, so my mac will sleep again. I would prefer
not to have the VPN service, but having a Mac, who does not consume power all the time...
Without Lion Server I can still access it with VNC or ARD and the iMac would be waken up by the "Wake on Demand" feature.
Regards
Florian

I know did again a clean installed of Lion without installing the Lion Server.
Now the sleep mode works again.... So it seems, that installing Lion Server is responsible for the iMac not going to sleep.
I installed Lion server because of the VPN functionality. I got this working without Lion Server by using a smart tool EasyVPN, which allowed me to setup OS X Lion as VPN server (PPTP and L2TP) without having Lion Server installed. you can get this tool at: http://www.squashedsoftware.com/products-easyvpn.php
Perhaps this is useful for somebody...

We are a small design studio how do we install lion on all machines

We are a small design studio with 8 imacs. How do we install Lion on all 8. Do we have to download the installer 8 times! at 4gb a download that is a lot of bandwidth. Or can one person sign in to the App store and download then distribute to all 8 machines?
Any advice greatly appreciated.

You might want to peruse the licensing agreement for Lion, available here:
http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/
I have absolutely no experience with commercial or volume licensing; but, as a business, you might want to pay special attention to para. 2B and C. The terms are not the same as they are for a single user.

Installed lion server fails to start up

Installed lion server fails to start up in Network account server ( I just getting a red dot and it reads local server) and when i try to add a my servers host name into it It just get "Unable to add server" host not found (9007). It seems to me that server is not set up right or that something went wrong with the initial install setup.

Can you install Lion server but still use the mac as normal?

I have a Macbook Pro and I would like to install Lion server. I was wondering if when I buy it off the mac app store if it works like any application so I can like close out of the server and use the mac as normal like to get on the Internet, or if Lion server installs like a new operation system and I can't use my mac as normal?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Of course. On Mountain Lion and Lion, Server is just an app, so you can close it and turn off its services whenever you want to use your Mac as usual, although you don't have to close Server app to use the computer as normal

Can't install Lion Server. Any log anywhere ?

Hi all,
I've been trying to install Lion Server for hours. I tried upgrading or starting from a blank partition, and get the same behavior : after the usual reboot, the installer starts but never progresses.
My set-up is a bit specific : MacPro 3,1, with a 10.6.8 Server on a 2xSSD RAID-0 volume (hooked to the 2 spare SATA ports on the motherboard), and Users on another regular disk.
I thought the RAID could be an issue, so also tried on a clone on a regular disk, it did not work.
I finally tried on a blank partition, on one of my regular disks, did not work as well...
I then tried all this from the ESD image restored to another partition... no difference.
I have the impression to have tried all combinations with exactly the same result, I haven't found any log to explain the failure, would you have any idea ?
One thing I noticed is that the Lion Disk Utility on the ESD image is not able to verify the RAID volume (permissions or disk), it just does nothing, with no error. Unplugging the SSDs from the mobo may be my last option...
HELP ! ;-)

OK, NOW I get it... What I was trying to install was the MacOS Lion Server DMG from the Apple Developer site - of which I am a paying member.
As soon as I stopped trying that approach and opened the Appstore application on my machine, clicked on purchases, saw the LION SERVER entry (which is what I purchased) and clicked on INSTALL, everything went perfectly well and my problem is solved.
YEAA!

I own two i macs. I bought and installed Lion on one computer. How can I install Lion on the other computer without additional charge?

I own two I macs. I bought and installed Lion on one computer. How can I install Lion on the other compute without additional charge?

If it's the same email address Apple registration on both, use the 2nd computer and go to the App Store and find Lion. If different, use the second computer but log in to the App store with the address you used on the first go round. The buy button should instead say install. Then go through the same process again.
