OSX Lion Server app hangs; dock icon shows incrementing counter

I'm running OSX Lion (10.7.3) on a MacMini.
since yesterday, the following concistenly happens: when I start the server app, it says "connecting to the server" next to the spinning wheel at the bottom right corner of the app window. After a few seconds, the app's dock icon shows a red counter (akin to the "unread counter" of the mail app) which is continuously being incrememted, and the (in)famous colored spinning wheel comes up as well: the server app hangs, and shows up as "Not Responding" in the Activity Monitor.
I've checked the System Diagnostic Reports on the Console window, and it reports the Server app as hanging, followed by a few thousand lines of messages ...
Does anybody know what goes wrong, or better, how to resolve this problem??

I have the exact same issue. I can see from Console.app, that
opendirectoryd: got error 1100
Can somebody please help?

I am running OXS Lion. I cannot puchase OSX Lion Server without buying OSX Lion again in the App Store?

I am currently using OSX Lion. I went to the App Store to buy OSX Lion Server. It informs me I have to buy OSX LIon as a package with the Server. Why do I need to buy Lion twice to get the server?

Have you bought Lion with the same account you're trying to install Lion Server?
Normally you didn't have to pay Lion twice. You only have to had installed Lion with the newst update to load and install Lion server

Where can I download lion server app

I can't find a copy of lion server app anywhere not even when I contacted apple. Does anyone know where can I find it?

Now that Mountain Lion is out, you can't buy older versions of OSX directly from the Apple Store. However, you can try calling Apple (1-800-MY-APPLE) and tell them that your hardware doesn't support Mountain Lion. I'm sure they still have copies of Lion. It's not like they destroy all traces of previous versions of OSX every time a new version is released.

OSX Lion Server - Mail Server All Mail Lost

Hi
Can anyone help.
I opened my mail client and found a blank mail box. It appears that all of my mail that I host on Lion Server has just vanished. I checked it via my iPhone 30 minutes prior to accessing the mail.app on my imac and all of my mail was visible. I then checked on my iPhone and slowly watched my mailbox contents vanish on my iPhone.
I'm at a loss as to what has happened and I can retrieve the email via a backup I did a day ago; however I have had some important mail since then and I appear to have lost them.
I'm truly finding OSX Lion Server to be a real pain where as Snow Leopard Server worked pretty well.
If anyone can assist I'd be really grateful.
Thank you

Thanks Colin
No one has been able to help so far in the Lion Server forums. I've logged a call with Apple but so far they have not been able to help.
I've now completely shutdown all Lion Server Services and loaded up Microsoft Exchange in a VM. Obviously a tad more expensive but Exchange is a far more mature and stable product.

How can I use LDAP searching from OSX Lion Server to Mozilla Thunderbird?

How can I use LDAP searching from OSX Lion Server to Mozilla Thunderbird? We have a super awesome contacts server that works great for our Mac users. About 30% of our company are on PCs, and I would like to use the Mozilla Thunderbird mail client for them. I see that in Thunderbird I can set up LDAP searching, and would like to have this feature point to our contacts server. I've tried several different settings, and looked all over the web, but could not find the proper way to configure this. Does anyone know if this can be done, or if not, would have a better suggestion? Thank you for your time!!

try double clicking keychain acces should launch and ask if you want to install login, system, System roots
A dialog box will launch asking where to install the cert since your configuring a vpn I would put the certificate it in system.

Problems with Boot Camp, OSX Lion Server 10.7.3, and Windows 7

My new Mac Mini Server is running OSX Lion Server 10.7.3. I want to install Windows 7 as a dual boot. I start up Boot Camp and use an ISO image to create a USB boot disk. I don't seem to be able to use the DVD to install, so I use an ISO image on disk. I continue with the Boot Camp installation, with all three options on the main screen checked. When I get to the part where I have to pick a partition on which to install, the only one I can select, and must format, is the partition labeled BOOTCAMP. But the Boot Camp support software Windows is installed there. I can continue with the Windows installation, and boot into Windows 7 with no problem. But since the Boot Camp drivers were wiped out, I cannot connect to the network, etc. I don't have a Boot Camp control panel either.I did this once before on my other Mac Mini Server I have, running the same OSX Lion Server 10.7.3, and it worked without a problem. I'm writing this message on that copy of Windows. But this new install just will not work, after two days of trying. I *must* get this working. I'm stumped.
CAN ANYONE HELP ??? TIA !!!!

First, this is re-post of your other thread.
Your driverrs were not and will not be "wiped out."
Run Boot Camp Assistant. Download the drivers
Your profile says Lion so that will let you store drivers on flash memory card.
They are never placed where Boot Camp created a partition.

You apparently are using a version of OS X you did not purchase using your Apple ID. Although you can download Mavericks you cannot install it over your current system. You must repartition your hard drive, then reinstall the version of OS X originally installed when it came new from the factory. That would be on the installer discs that should have come with the computer. If the computer did not come with discs from the factory but OS X was pre-installed (Lion or Mountain Lion) then you can perform an Internet Recovery:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Can i use osx lion server as a server for my online forum business? if so, what else do i need to get up and running. i know i need forum software. any suggestions?

hello fellow apple lovers. I am in desperate need of advice. I am going to be starting an online forum business in the coming weeks. I was wondering if osx lion server would be able to function as my business server. I also need mac compatible forum software. Any suggestions? Thanks, Bryan

If you have to use old Digidesign now Avid stuff, try to get hold of a DIGI 003 or a MBox pro. The 002 really sounds horrific (no offense) and I doubt it will be of any use in ML, even the MBox pro sounds better……..
By the way, I thought that since ProTools 9 one could use any hardware of choice in combo. If you must use PTools, I would defiantly look for a more up to date hardware and Avid wouldn't be my first choice!
Have a nice day!

HT4628 Since I installed Mountain Lion, last night, the Internet icon shows an exclamation sign, as if there's no internet connection, but it's connected.

Since I installed Mountain Lion, last night, the Internet icon shows an exclamation sign, as if there's no internet connection, but it's connected. Has any one had this situation.

Ok, I'm stupid.
Found another thread about this and typing 'install OS X Lion' in spotlight did the job.

Sharing pst (outlook) files over OSX lion server

Hi,
I can share every type of files via osx lion server. But if I try to share .pst files (Outlook) files and try to connect from a Windows 7 pc to the share. It doesn't work.
Any idea?
Best Regards,
Christian

I found out that I can open the Access db but only if I choose "open exclusively" in the office file dialog box, meaning that other users on the network won't be able to open the db when I have it open.
So it seems a file lock issue. Anybody having an idea what I could try to change the SMB file lock behaviour on OSX Lion would help me allot.
Thanks

Dock icon shows yesterday's date when closed

Per the title, dock icon shows Dec 1 when iCal is closed. When I open it, it changes to today's date, but when I quit it reverts to 12/1.
Trashed preference file, no change.
Not the biggest deal--just takes me back to Tiger--however I do get concerned when something "new" starts happening for no apparent reason.

dfreiwald,
Have you removed the icon from the Dock and replaced it with the iCal icon located in your Applications folder?
I would say this is more of a nuisance than something to worry about.
;~)

Dock icon shows 13 messages unread?

My Mail Dock icon shows that I have 13 unread messages but I have read all of them. How or what can I do to fix this? It is very anyoing to see this as I think there are more messages that need to be read than are really there.
Thanks for your help with this.
West

Make new smartfolder set to display unread messages only (in the unlikely case that they exist but can't be found in the regular folders), they may be visible this way.
That worked for me - Thanks
