Redownload server

I wiped my drive and need to reinstall Lion Server. It no longer shows up as a purchased app in App Store. How do I reinstall it?
Thanks.

Hi
Apologies if this sounds like an obvious question but have you installed Lion first?
HTH?

Won't install on clean OS X: Error enabling server management.

Hi All,
I'm getting seriously fed up of Server.app.
I previously had it installed on my Mac Mini, but due to various reasons did a clean install of OS X. On boot, the only app I have installed so far is Parallels. My second app is Server.app, well it would be but it fails when trying to configure it:
Error enabling server management.
A problem was detected with Server. Please redownload Server from the App Store.
Obviously I did do this, to no avail. I also copied over a known working version of Server.app from another machine and got the same message. I mean what gives? Why isn't it even letting me install it?!
Thanks

Not only do I have that folder already in existence, but I have a plist file located there that is for the server.app I'm sure.
com.apple.serverd.plist
I have tried deleting this and relaunching to no avail.
Still stuck with the error.
And terminal doesn't seem to agree with that command.
Says "-al" isn't a valid command?
Console is giving me a tiny bit of info that might help...

Server.app hanging at install

This is the second time this has gotten stuck like this.
How long does it take to prepare services?

I've not seen a Server.app upgrade go more than a half-hour or so, and freshly-installed OS X Server.app installation should be quick. Is this a fresh install, or are you upgrading an older OS X Server environment?
If I had a backup or didn't care about the contents of the disk, I might try a reboot and see if restarting allows this installation to continue. Failing that, clear out /Library/Server and related areas (I'd try this sequence), trash the download of Server.app, and redownload Server.app and try again. Failing that, wipe and install.

How to download Lion server

Hi there,
i recently got a Mac mini server with Lion server preinstalled. Is there a way to redownload server (without using the restore function) since neither Lion client, nor Lion server do appear in the Mac App Store as "purchased"?

Thanks, but how does the disk assistant help me to download Lion server? As far as i understand the disk assistant helps me to recover my hdd, but i will have to redownload Lion+Server over again. That is what i do not want to do everytime i reinstall Lion Server.
What i want is having Lion and Server on an external drive, so in case of reinstalling i do not have to download it, but can install from the external drive.

Anyone else having issues with DHCP settings resetting?

I think this is a glitch with OS X Server 3.0.1... I have the server handle DNS and DHCP instead of the router, and after a reboot, DHCP settings revert to off and the default Ethernet IP pool.
I tried the usual, even formatted the hard drive and installed from scratch. I also deleted Server.app and /Library/Server, then redownloaded Server from the App Store. I also verified and repaired permissions.

Bob-
If you are using the old iPad 1 dock with an iPad 2, there is a problem due to the different shape of the new iPad's bottom. Some have suggested folding some paper to stuff between the back of the iPad and the dock, to help make better connection.

HT4461 redownload osx server

I have downloaded and installed OSX Server over Mavericks. I need to reinstall same but alas I cannot find the app on my mac anymore. Furthermore is isn't possible to redownload via the app store. It constantly reads, "installed". I have tried the trick with the option key but to no avail. What is the secret?
Regards
Desmond

I cannot find anything to do with "osx server".
That's because there is nothing with that name. You have to search for applications named "Server".

How to redownload old messages from the server

On my primary PC with Windows 7-64bit, I have my server settings to leave messages on the server for 55 days.
I need to download the old messages again into Thunderbird probably due to some problems with Time Warner Road Runner sometimes blacklisting Netflix e-mail (if that is the proper term). Netflix is aware of the problem with TWC bouncing their e-mail.
I know that if I went to another PC with Thunderbird--all the old and current messages from the last 55 days should be downloaded to it.
But how do I download them again (if possible) to my primary computer with Thunderbird? If I go to web based e-mail at TWC, my old messages from up to 55 days are listed.

Close Thunderbird. Then delete the file popstate.dat in your profile.

Redownload 10.8 Server from AppStore

How do I download 10.8 Server? The App Store thinks that I already downloaded it. When I tried to download it the first time, it said I needed to have 10.8 client installed first. Thanks!

If it says downloaded/installed, try pressing the option key to see if it changes and allows you to go again.
Otherwise, if you have access, use this link: https://developer.apple.com/downloads/

Creative Cloud Desktop app won't install error 207; Adobe server?

Is there a problem with some of Adobe.com servers? My employer just purchased a CC subscription for my work Mac, and the CC Desktop App won't install. I've restarted my Mac, quit all Adobe products, redownloaded the DMG file (creativecloudinstaller.dmg), and checked to make sure my firewall is off. But I still get an error message #207. My DNS servers are set to the same ones that other Macs in my group are set to, and they have CC on their Macs.
I don't know if it's related, but I can't load "adobe.com" in my browser, either. All other webpages are fine, including (obviously) this forum.
I am using OS 10.8.5, connected via Ethernet, and my browser is Chrome.

Thank you for your help, Ned. I also called Adobe help via phone, and he confirmed that my company's server needed to whitelist several Adobe sites. The company had revised their servers not long ago, and evidently did not transfer their old whitelists (which is why my coworkers had previously been able to access Creative Cloud). The phone support person emailed me a helpful list that I could forward to our company's tech support center—but the link you supplied in your response was also perfectly relevant.

Installation 12c R1 on Windows Server 2008 R2

Hello,
I had a bad idea - try the new database.
So:
1)            Downloading oracle DB files, but download interrupted (lost Wi-Fi - my fault), but auth token was expired and I have to redownload 90%.
2)            Installing Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition (I want to install English edition, but I had only Russian one)
3)            Spending a lot of time to install, and wont install.
I made some attempts (each with new OS installation):
with/without UAC, from network/local drive, desktop/server class, existing/new user, each editions, both charset... But all of them were unsuccessful.
Installation show popup errors like that:
"DIM-00019: create service error
O/S-Error: (OS 1387) ?? ??????? ???????? ??? ??????? ????? ????????? ??????, ??? ??? ?? ?? ??????????. "
Ora error
Log file have a lot of useful information, like this:
"[main] [ 2013-11-22 17:16:12.449 EST ] [KfodUtil.kfodOutput:333] Cannot run program "null\rdbms\bin\kfod.exe": CreateProcess error=2, ?? ??????? ????? ????????? ????
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "null\rdbms\bin\kfod.exe": CreateProcess error=2, ?? ??????? ????? ????????? ????"
Any ideas what should be done for success installation?
It works as well as installed?
Interestingly, does Oracle have any testing stuff

I have no doubt that the problem in the OS localization.
But, taking into account some facts:
World population is estimated to number 7.126 billion people.
Anglosphere is about 740 million people.
I have not found information about the supported OS languages.
I'm worried about losing my non-English data.
I am for the licensed software, but a trial and registered OS has the same functionality, and displays messages/data in the same way.
I doubt that the OS registration will allow installer to properly finish and even display the error correctly. (Java strings is UTF-based, so, developers should set correct code page. Probably, because system code page can be different with console code page (cp866 for Russian). Current codepage could be view by executing "chcp" in console).
In any case Enterprise-class product should operate correctly on each supported systems, or inform about problems before.

The requested url was not found on this server is displayed when trying to play a video I paid for on itunes

When I try to play my itunes videos that I downloaded it says that "This requested url was not found on this server." Why? I paid for it, it s/b stored on my phone in itunes. It was working fine 2 weeks ago. I am using my iphone 4

I had a similar problem with a tv show. I contacted Apple Support and got the following instructions:
"please delete the episode from your iPad and then redownload it directly to the device. You can download past tv show, app, music, and book purchases without incurring additional charges as long as what you want to download is showing on your Purchased page. Some content may not be available for download again if its provider no longer offers it on the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
To enable this feature, you must have the latest version of iTunes. It is available on the Apple website:
http://www.itunes.com/download
The latest version of iTunes will not affect your library or any items in your account.

I tried it this morning, and it worked.

HT1277 can I delete emails from my IPhone and the server as well?

Can I delete emails from both my IPhone 5 and the server as well?

It's very easy to do - open up the music app, find the song/artist/album you want to delete and then swipe on it right to left and press 'delete'. Once you have done this it will take up no more space on your device whether it's in the cloud or not.
If the song is still appearing in the music app with a little cloud next to it then you can stop it from showing by going into settings, music, and turning off 'show all music'. Note that this will remove ALL songs from the music app that have the cloud next to it (the cloud means they are in the cloud, online, but not stored on the device) and if you want to play them you will have to open itunes and redownload it, or change this setting back to on.
Let me know if you need any more help!

Many Lion Server Problems

I think I have run into most of the Lion Server issues mentioned so far and perhaps a few self inflicted new ones.
1) Upgrade from Snow Leopard worked except the migration failed. Naturally I did not have a backup of the server configuration.
2) Manual configuration has many problems related to the machine name. I was using a linux box for DNS and a private LAN DNS name space. My router is configured to forward many services to my OSX Server box. Somehow I could not configure Lion Mail to operate. The machine name, Internet name, local internet name, etc. are very confusing and different things happen depending upon using Server or Server Admin. In Snow Leopard I could use a command line utility to set the return mail address to my MX record but under Lion I had to eliminate the private LAN name space, configure Lion to be the DNS before I could get e-mail to operate correctly from both IMAP and WEB mail.
3) Once you attempt to use Open Directory the only way to correct a failed configuration is to re-install from scratch.
4) If LDAP and the Password process fail to launch then they ping on/off every 10 seconds forever. Only a re-install from scratch is the fix. When this happens it appears that the permissions on the boot drive are hopelessly broken. I do not mess with the permissions but now I am pondering a nightly permissions repair script.
5) Using self signed certificates seems to cause many problems. If I use them for the mail server everything is OK. If I use them for Open Directory I cannot seem to get the other systems to connect.
6) Under Snow Leopard I could see all users and their pictures on the remote Mac's. I can't find this on Lion.
7) Open Directory quit after a week of operation requiring a clean install from my backup. I turned off Reserve Server Resources. I hope this helps.
8) Timeouts on Lion seem to be infinite. Once one application falls into a timeout you eventually must power cycle the whole machine.
9) The first time a user users mail I have to force kill it and restart before it performs the initial configuration. This has happened 3 times so far.
10) Manually editing user permissions from Finder within the Admin account (i.e. correcting my old user directories to match my new user ID's) is an exercise in futility. Using the command line seems to be the only reliable way.
11) I still cannot get profiles to work but I am afraid to try because the server seems to fragile.
12) Carbon Copy Cloner is a required tool with Lion. As soon as you have something working, make a fresh backup so you do not have to redownload everything. I now make a nightly backup of the boot drive with CCC and cron.
13) Some settings only take affect on a reboot, when you are making/testing changes this causes an interesting phase delay between making a change and observing an effect.
My system is a Mac Mini with 8GB and 24TB of RAID storage on Firewire.
It hosts home directories, e-mail, wiki's, etc for my wife & kids. All data is on the Mini so the other macs at home are bare except for OS and Apps.
This upgrade has caused more trouble than all other system upgrades I have ever done. It is making me think seriously about making another stab at LDAP/OD on Linux for my home server.

You might want to take a look at the much more functional AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion on a "test" Mac to see if that works better for you. Oddly, 5.6 was released on the same day as AirPort Utility 6.0.
You can keep both 5.6 and 6.0 on a Mac (You cannot delete 6.0).

Why can't I uninstall the Mountain Lion Server?

Background
My windows laptop failed and my iMAC's hard drive was recalled recently. During this time I decided to buy a MacBook Pro and migrate everthing from my Windows laptop. I also bought Airport Extreme. As I got recently unemployed, I wanted to create a private network accessible from my MacBrook and MacBook Air (until I could afford to buy the Mac Mini Server). So I downloaded the Lion Server from the App Store using my MacBook Pro (I didn't realize it would install automatically). So, I redownloaded from my iMac and went through the configuration.
Issues
I was unable to log in using my existing user accounts from the MacBook/Air. I turned on the screen sharing (as I had lots of applications and documents on the iMac). But my firewall reported access to screen sharing service, web service etc from external IP addresses. iMac frequently went into freeze modes (no response to mouse/keyboard) and sometimes blank screen (monitor off). So I turned off screen sharing.
I struggled with finding a way to make the local accounts into network accounts. I even tried adding them to a Network Group. I was unsucessful in being authenticated by the iMac server. The login window always showed "... unavailable ..". I went through and tried all suggestions posted in this site. Nothing seemed to work.
I decided to unistall the Server and do a fresh install. Even here there were no clear documentation/instructions with the server app. According to suggestions here and as per this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4827 article, I removed the turned off all services, deleted the Server.app and also the /Library/Server folder. Rebooted. The iTunes store's purchased page still shows the Server as Installed. I did the same on the MBP and it shows up asInstall.
I don't see any of the server applications in the Activity Monitor. But my firewall reported incoming requests to Kerberos, Port 464, 5000, 625, 749, and Program Linking.
Airport Extreme is letting in external requests. I did not use public domain for my server nor any dynamic dns service.
Questions
How do I remove completely the Server app from my iMac?
The first time I installed the server, I used it to control the Airport Extreme. So how do I reset the Airport Extreme to factory settings (assuming Apple's marketing literature is correct) so that it acts as a barrier between the wild, wild internet and my home network?
Is there better control of the Airport Extreme base station? Like MAC filtering?
How do you elevate existing users on iMac to the level of network users? I want any of my family members to be able to use the MBP or MBA using their own account and see their documents and settings.
Recommendations Solicited
I cannot add a Mac Pro/Mac Mini Server at this point (unless Apple comes out payment plans for the consumers). That is why I purchased the MBP/MBA from BestBuy. So need the best way to use my existing resources to create a small home network for school, development, testing etc.

I have captured the install log. Right now I don't have the Sever.app and related files in the system. But log shows the server is running or installed today. I have seen MiniLauncher tag (don't know what it is). And if the server is running, it is not appearing in the Activity log.
