I visited our wiki today to find a few links putting me back on the home page. Hovering over the link shows the full link but clicking it shoots me back out. It also appears that I cannot get those pages in my search results.

Mountain Lion Server: Wiki and Profile Manager return 'Error Reading Settings'

Hi,
Have recently installed Mountain Lion Server (clean install) when I open the Server App I am constantly receiving the following error messages on various services inc. Wiki and the Profile Manager Service
After clicking on various other services that error message evolves into
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nvm, I managed to resolve this issue to a degree. The errors seem to occur if I copied and installed the Server.app from a windows network location where I had it stored. However if I downloaded and installed the Server.app from the App store the errors dod not occur.

How do I make a wiki on OS X Mountain Lion Server?

I'm trying to make a wiki with my OS X Mountain Lion server my question is how do i do it? Please help me?

When running Server.app do you see that little button that says 'Next Steps' in the bottom left corner of the window ? Click on it and read stuff.
Alternatively click on the 'Help' menu and type 'wiki' into the search field that appears.

Mountain Lion Server Web Server not working after time machine restore

Our Mountain Lion Server (mac mini) lost its drive yesterday. We got a new mac mini and did a time machine restore. Everything in the Server seems to be working (users, groups, file shares, etc) except for the web server.
Trying to connect to the server results in safari not being able to connect to the server. Even just clicking on the "view server website" link in the Server app doesn't work.
We've tried stopping / restarting the services. We have confirmed that the files in Library / Server with the web pages were restored.
Are there any gotchas, troubleshooting steps or guides anyone can point me to? I'd like to get our wiki back.
Thanks
Jeff

Why do I have to buy Mountain Lion and Mountain Lion server to upgrade my Lion server?

Hi !
I can't find any option in app store to direct buy OSX Mountain Lion Server to upgrade my Mini i7 Lion Server ?!? Just necessary purchased the Mountain Lion and BUY AGAIN OSX Server Packet $19, billing Twice ?!?!

You are looking at a radical change, 10.8 Server is not an "Upgrade", it's an application. The previous Apache is still at its old location but is unused xcept for some .conf files. The arrangement and configuration of 10.8 Server.app is a big change from 10.7 so plan on some relearning. You will buy the application Server.app which on first run installs components at /Library/Server/*. Most everything is now inside the Server.app package in the Applications folder including all scripts for Wiki pages and several Apple specific Apache modules. Apple is also replacing the messy *.conf flat text files with plist files so that is an improvement. In addition, Python script support is now built-in as well as WSGI for those running Python webapps.
Having said that, some parts have sharp edges so don't expect full operation for a few versions.

Running PHP within HTML in Mountain Lion Server

I just upgraded from Lion Server to Mountain Lion Server yesterday. Under Lion I had pages that had simple PHP instructions, primarily includes, that I could run without saving the pages with the PHP extension. My recollection is that I modified either the .htaccess file or the httpd.conf file to allow Apache to run PHP code embedded in HTML pages. I can't find an .htaccess file in ML Server, and modifying the code in httpd.conf doesn't seem to work.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Thomas Hart

The configuration files live in/Library/Server/Config/Apache2, and the primary configuration file ishttpd_server_app.conf not httpd.conf.
Thanks for the info.
I think that path should be /Library/Server/Web/Config/Apache2

Smooth transition from Mountain Lion Server to Mavericks Server 3.0!!

After an new OS release that are always complaints about installation and configuration problems. First comers to using any new software tool provide valuable feedback we generally hope will help improve the new product. It's how things have worked since the first 6503 Apple II's and 8086 IBM PC's.
I've been using and upgrading PC's since THOSE DINOSAURS! And I can't remember EVER having an OS upgrade go as smoothly as my recent upgrade from Mountain Lion Server (OS X 10.8.5 w. Server 2.2.2) to Mavericks Server 3.0.
I chose to do a clean Mavericks install on a clean partition created on a 1 TB disk that was upgraded into my trusty MacBook. I used the DiskmakerX app to create a Mavericks installation USB drive. When the screen came up with the option to import users, programs & files (took a pass on email) from the Mountain Lion Server partition, I let it run overnight to transpose everything of value into the clean Mavericks installation.
The next morning the only program that wasn't PERFECTLY installed and configured on Mavericks was Server 2.2.2. I deleted it and bought/installed Server 3.0. After Server 3.0's setup ran that only thing I had to do manually was start Postgres! My domain setting, DNS, all my web applications that were set up on Mountain Lion Server were all GOOD TO GO again on Mavericks Server!
I'm disclosing this here, publicly because it was a BIG PAIN to install and deploy all my websites using Mountain Lion's server app. To say the easy transposition into Server 3.0 was an unexpected and pleasant surprise amounts to massive understatement.
Now I'm going to describe two small anomolies I've noticed in either Mavericks or Server 3.0 that other users might want to be on the lookout for. They're not fatal. But they might be "habringers" suggesting underlying problems in either the new OS or the new Server's internals.
The toolbar icon for TimeMachine doesn't "spin" when it backs up. It's not a big deal. But it's convenient to see the circle around the clock whirling so we know when TIme Machine is backing up.
Mavericks Server isn't reporting newly upgraded apps as available under the Updates Tab of the Server's Software Updates subsystem. It might be inconsequential. But with a new OS version it never hurts to let the developers know about the "little things" that don't apparently work.
Kudos to the Maverick's developers for releasing an OS X version that's THIS CLEAN. And hugs to Apple's management for making it a free download upgrade for developers!!!
Full disclosue: I don't now and never have worked for Apple. but I do own a few shares of Apple stock that we purchased many years ago at $14.00 / share. I'm not a big shareholder. But based on my recent seamless upgrades to Mavericks and iIOS 7, I'm a happy one who's not likely to sell any time soon.
If Apple can do for ALL THEIR HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE PRODUCTS what they seem to have done for OS X and iOS, they've got at least a fighting chance to recover from their losses after their stock peaked at about $700.00 /share.
Keep up the good work!

Mountain Lion Server PHP Upgrade issue

I need to upgrade my Server PHP, since my web site needs PHP 5.4 or above to work.
I have followed the steps from previous discussion
Updated PHP to 5.4 following steps from here
Updated bash_profile, httpd.conf, and updated $PATH variables.
In terminal php version and php path points to correct version /usr/local/php5/
But phpinfo still points to php 5.3.
I was able make the update on my local machine running Mountain Lion. The issue occurs only on the Mountain Lion Server.
It there any other settings that needs to be done to udpate PHP path?

Thanks for the input. Did you have any issues with running MAMP on server? I was under the impression Server tools, (web, ftp, opendirectory, etc..) are tightly integrated to one another.
Installing MAMP on a server might be the next option. Did you remove Lion server completely or just the web server part?
I did test out MAMP on server. It seem to have some database issues and give a blank page when it has to connect with Database. Probably have to work on the db issues, if PHP update is impossible.

Mountain Lion Server 10.8 DNS ERROR READING SETTINGS

Hi! Well I changed from windows 2008 server to Mountain Lion Server. So far, I have been able to set up website hosting for one website, and I must say works better than windows server 2008, maybe thats because the mac keeps the drive spun up, while in windows server it was an external drive, whatever the issue mac serves up the site much faster that it comes exploding onto the screen of the searcher.. Then I went to try to set up email, I was totally excited, but I think I did a no no in the dns settings, and now, I cant even see them, I just get "Error Reading Settings" Of course I see things in the log that I should undo, but I cant access the DNS settings at all. Any ideas how I can get to the dns settings so I can undo my booboo? Now it has streched its error self into the file sharing, and I cant access those settings anymore either, so that means I cant set up other websites because I cant give permission to view those folders. I also just got another err saying "Multiple errors occured on this server while processing commands. Just exactly what the heck did I do? I must have REALLY SCREWED THIS THING UP! Also strangely Safari browser no longer acceses the web from the server computer. I THINK I KILLED IT.
Any Ideas?
Thanks I really appreciate any tips, I havent got to calendar or vpn, or any fun stuff yet.. Or maybe it might not be fun at all? hahahahahaa!
Thanks

I've gotten into this mess as well and Apple solved it for me.
The Server should be able too lookup itself so running DNS is a good thing, actually the server sets up DNS at install time if it can't find a server to serve it's DNS so it can lookup itself.
The main error in my case was that there wasn't a NS record pointing the machine itself and that there were some firewall rules preventing DNS lookups. Since there is no way to edit the firewall rules via GUI the engineer manually changed some stuff, but wasn't sure where the problem lies exactly, so he passed it on to another engineer.
At this point I was already forced to switch to Google Apps for Business and my website was already running at GoDaddy, at much lesser costs and to much lesser frustration I might add.
Let's face it, Apple has to deliver a better product with the old Server Admin back into place for those who want it for the extra control.
My servers were running great with Lion (eventually), but Apple just had to remove Server Admin from OS X Server... #their_loss

Additional email address for user in mountain lion server

I have a new installation of OS X Mountain Lion server (10.8.2) that I am wanting to deploy. The problem that I am running into now is that there is no way that I have found to add a second email address.
I have multiple domains so, i need to have "[email protected]" and "[email protected]" for the same user.
Has anyone seen a way around this?

Wow - just after I answer back, I found a download for the Workgroup Manager at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1567. I probably need more sleep.
Yes, it is just Server Admin that is no more, Workgroup Manager is still at the moment available.
For your information another less pleasant means would be to directly modify the Open Directory record using either the command line or the Directory Editor launched from Open Directory Utility which in turn is launched from the Login Options "Join..." button.

How do I share a folder over the internet with Mountain Lion server?

I am new to using formal servers. In Snow Leopard I was able to use web sharing to serve a small website and if I wanted to share a folder with someone I would just provide the person I wanted to share a file with the path to the file inside the sites directory. With Mountain Lion this functionality was removed from the sharing section of system preferences.
I purchased mountain lion server and was able to restore the website serving ability, but I haven't been able to figure out how to share a folder. I am still looking over what documentation I can find, but for the most part it just tells me to set up the services without telling me how. Any assistance would be helpful. Networking is not my area of expertise.
Best Regards,
David Finell

I purchased server to assist with this as I am unfamiliar with the command line protocols for using apache. Because of the UNIX architechture of OSX and I presume apache, I am uncomfortable using the command line for fear of causing serious problems.
Unfortunately, the documentation that I have seen for mountain lion server is wanting in either its completeness or layout/functionability. To summarize the server instructions as I understand them. It just says to configure it and my system to meet my requirements without telling me how.
I am confident that both the apache command line and server are capable of accomplishing what I was able to do before under snow leopard. I just haven't figured out how.
I was able to provide a link to family and clients like http://ipaddress/~user/folder
This no longer works.

Mountain Lion Server upgrade; "error reading settings"

Just upgraded to Mountain Lion server and now ALL services have an "error reading settings".
For example; I select "websites" and I get the message "an error occured on the server while processing a command. teh error occured while processing a command of type 'getWebAppState' in plug-in 'servermgr_web' "
There are similar errors for every service. I can't turn anything on.
Server can't even read the Logs. it just sits there with "Loading..." displayed.
My web site is gone and even the Groups have been gutted.
I have a backup of my Web site but how to I clean this up so I can even start from scratch !?!

I have the final solution and fix but beware you may not like it that much.
Having had all of the above problems with more or less everything I finally pieced it all together from various threads. This will fix both the AEBS control and the central services problems. Dont shout at me for being a bit basic and not coding etc. but it worked for me. If I can avoid code I do as often as possible as am less likely to balls it up!
This method will loose some data but the main files and users do remain
The Fix:
1. Close Server.app
2. Library/Server make a copy of Server file under a diff name as software server files and a few others would appear to still be usable and you will have to re download it all again of you dont copy it back in ( I didn't and now have learned my lesson). then delete the whole of the Server file.
3. Go to Keychain and search all Airport then delete associated keys permissions etc
4. Delete Server.app and reinstall.
5. Start new setup and it will migrate properly with no errors. This time a big green tick will appear!
6. Replace the software update files into the new Library/Server folder if you want to or leave it untill the rest is done
7 Reconfigure any missing bits..... any enrolled devices will have vanished but probably if you have saved the data from this in Library/Server prior to deletion you may be able to reinstate this but I didnt risk it
This is going to be a total pain if in a large organisation but once working the system is excellent with no swapping from one control set to the other. As each service is switched on it auto configures the AEBS and no further errors and a joy to work with unless you really like to get into the nuts and bolts.
Hope this helps and good luck

DNS Changes (Mountain Lion Server & Airport Extreme)

I'm using a Mac Mini Mountain Lion Server with a Airport Extreme Router. The router is currently providing the DHCP funtion. Is it possible to change the DHCP settings on the router to use the DNS server on the Mac Mini Server rather than the one in the router.
I can't see any setting on either the Airport Utility or the Server App I was wondering if the DNS Server setting could be change via the comand line.
Many Thanks
Darren

Hi Darren,
Have you tried putting your Airport Extreme into Bridge Mode? That should enable you to use the DHCP service on your server.
Regards Alan
