Server app replacement not detected - how to force?

I just applied the OS X Server 4.1 (I was running 4.0.3 previously) on a 10.10.3 system. But the 'server app replace,emit detected' message has not appeared (even after 10 minutes and 1 reboot for another software update). If I launch 'Server' it still says 4.0.3 in About.
So it seems my server is in some kind of limbo state with a pending server update. How can I force it to recognise the new server app and start the normal migration process?
Chris

Hi Chris,
Put the current server.app in the trash, reboot and download the new server.app 4.1 from your app store recent purchases.
Trashing the app might already give you a replacement message.
That should do the trick.
Goodluck
Jeffrey

The same way they were put on the previous iPhone, sync them.
Alternatively, read the article from which the question was posted and follow the explicit instructions provided.

There is no legitimate (Apple supported) way to downgrad an iOS on a device. Have you tried downloading/installing a new (free) app. That works for many users with that problem.

HT1491 I purchased an application from the app store and the app is not working,How do I get a refund ?

I purchased an application from the app store and the app is not working,How do I get a refund ?

First, contact the developer of the app and ask for assistance. Then if you cannot get the problem resolved, go to the following link, explain the reason for your request, including that the developer was unable to solve the problem, and ask:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
Though a refund is not guaranteed, it's possible they'll make an exception for you.
Good luck.

Server App does not change SMB AFP option as expected

I have been fighting SMB shares on Mac OS since upgrading to Mountain Lion (I skipped Lion) and I think I have the situation figure out at least in my case.
First Opportunistic Locking needs to be turned off in Windows 7. It does not appear that Mac OS supports it and this is why my connection got disconnected.
In the regestry at, [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanWorkstation\Paramet e rs] add this, "OpLocksDisabled"=dword:00000001
Now for the SMB shares for people using the Server App. The Server App. is where you setup shares but I think there is a bug. In my case the Server App. was not actually turning on SMB and/or AFP services for the users listed in the server permissions. I had to go to Sharing under System Preferences then select the share I want the service to apply to then select Options. I found that the SMB and AFP services were not enabled even though they had been set in the Server App. Once I enabled them all was as it should be.

Same problem. I had to rebuild my LDAP database and when I imported the users and groups, they appear in Workgroup Manager but they don't appear in Server app. Well.. they do sometimes. If I click the "Add Users" button, sometimes they'll appear briefly then go away in Server app. I can also edit a user and look at their group membership via Server app and the groups from Workgroup Manager appear but they are grayed out... also, the users from the LDAP server will disappear at first and I have to click on another button, like "Configure Network" and then click back on "Add Users" and the network users will be there... but no group.
This is crazy. It's like working on a '74 Chevy Vega. Did ANYONE at Apple QA this?

I have just installed Mountain Lion and received a message that "speech Synthesis Server.app could not be opened because it is damaged or incomplete", please advise me what to do now.

I have just installed Mountain Lion and received a message "speech synthesis server.app could not be opened because it is damaged or incomplete", please can you advise me what to do next? Thanks

Something went wrong with your upgrade.
Back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

Server app will not load

My server was running fine with the following services enabled: Mail, Calender, Contacts, DNS, Websites, Open Directory, Messages, SUS.
I believe a power cut shut down the machine (mac mini server) over the weekend, and it didn't boot back up.
When I started the machine, it logged in fine and the desktop environment was fine.
When I started the server app, it booted up, but warned me that some services were unavailable. I noted that only 3 services appeared to be ON (DNS, Webites, and Calender (I think)). When I tried to turn the other services ON I got an error, but cant remember what it was (I know this doesnt help). The error was the same for all of the services I tried.
When I went onto the services that were already ON, I got the same error, and they turned OFF.
So I deleted the server.app, trashed it, and reinstalled from the app store (after a shut down and reboot)
When I start the server.app now, it prompts me to 'Set up your Server' as you would expect.
I can continue past this
Agreed to this, obviously.
I am then prompted to put my admin U/N and P/W in
I put my usual details in here (they were already inputted anyway)
It goes through the usual configuring of services
and finally completes:
When I press Finish, nothing happens, other than the 'Go Back' button becoming available.
Going back does nothing. The only wasy to get rid of this box, is to go to the toolbar and quit there.
So, my server was working fine - and now I cant get access to it.
It appears that some of the services are running (well, websites are), as these can be seen from other machines (and not cached).
As for backups - I'm not running TM so cant roll back, but have files if the last resort is to format.......but I dont want to go down that route - obviously.
Any ideas on how to get past this - and even why it happened?

Thanks for the suggestion keg55.
As I couldnt open the server app, I wouldn't have been able to turn the services off easily (I take it it can be done via command line).
I resorted to a nice clean install, and selective restoration of my backup, so a nice clean image to begin again with. Thanks for the advice though.

Server side does not detect network failure

Hi folks,
I coded a simple chat program. When a client connects to the multi-thread server, server shows newly connected client's IP address. Now, if the connection between client and server is down, client detects and terminates itself but server does not. The server still shows that client as connected. when I traced the server side, I found out that server was waiting at the readObject (client object input stream) line but it didn't throw any IOException. I tried to send some message to all connected client at every 20 seconds, so I expected to catch IOException when the server did not reach the client. Unfortunately, it didn't work. That is my question how can server side detect network failure?
Thanks for help.
Regards
Bulent

That is how TCP works (noting that it has nothing to do with java.)
Your solution is one of the following or some combination...
- If the server does not receive something every X time period then it disconnects.
- If the server has not received something after X time period it sends a keep alive message to the client. If the client does not respond (or the message fails) then the server disconnects.

Defining Virtual Hosts so the Server App does not hijack them?

Does anyone know how one might define manually define virtualhosts in Lion Server so the OS does not go and trash them, or mess with the conf files? Right now the server keeps stealing any virtual hosts I create manually and creating conf files to the standard of the Server App. The problem is I have several virtual hosts that have custom information in them and I need to restore the file whenever this happens. Any ideas?

Put all your config files in something unknown to Apple. I like to use 'vhosts' instead of 'sites'.
Then just add this to your httpd.conf...
Include /private/etc/apache2/vhosts/*.conf
I would keep a copy of your httpd.conf at all times. Apple likes to wipe that out on system updates.

Server.app does not authenticate network admin users

Running fresh installation of Lion Server 10.7.3. I'm logged in as the original, local, administrator.
I open Server.app and successfully log in to the local machine with the local administrator creditials. I create a networked user allowed to administer the machine. Close Server.app window.
Attempt to log in as the new networked administrator. I get a message about using the server's self-signed certificate. I click accept, then the log-in shakes it head, won't let network admin log-in. Repeated attempts to log in do not show the certificate warning -- the log-in fails every time, though.
Attempt to log is as local admin, works OK.
How to fix?

Hi Stefan, I have the Server app problem here on my Xserve 2009 and it happened after about 14 days of working correctly. No users or groups(850 network) show in the panes other than the two local admin users on the server. The +/- buttons are greyed out also. If you enter some letters for a search in Users/Groups it will actually display the network users containing the letters and eventually it populates the window with network users up to the usual 500+ limit but refresh and they all disappear again. Thinking back before it happened I used WGM to add a new user instead of Server and it was shortly after when the users "disappeared" and the+- buttons greyed out. I dont have much confidence in Server app at the moment and im just glad WGM/SA is still in operation. I agree with Danny_Sch that Server app starts to act strangely after using WGM
WGM acts as usual with all my 850 users showing from the OD and Server admin shows all my services running ok. All users can log in and out fortunately at the moment. This happened initially when I migrated to Lion and I had to use my OD archive demoting and promoting to master to get it to work but I dont want to have to rebuild the whole thing again as we have very limited downtime to do it in a big institution etc. I'm trawling the net looking for a fix but no definitive answer. Has anyone reported this as a bug to Apple I wonder?

Windows 8 and Server 2012. Not detecting network is a domain.

Hi Guys,
I hope I have posted this to the correct forum.
I have 2 x Windows 8 PCs that do not detect that they are connected to a domain (network location awareness not working). I can join them to the domain but they still don't recognise the network as a domain. Instead they identify it as "private".
Other PCs on the network (Win XP and Win 7) work prefectly, just the windows 8 machines don't work.
Also, when I do join them to domain I also receive this message.
"changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed. The name will remain xxxx.local. The error was: the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. "
I have tried the following
- DHCP and DNS has being tried both as static and dynamic (can ping DNS server which is the domain controller Windows Server 2012) .
- Updated PC NIC drivers.
- No AV is installed on either server or PC.
- Updated PC to windows 8.1.
- Disabled both server and PC firewalls.
- Check NLA service and all dependent services are running.
- Disabled all adapters on server except for one.
I am really hoping someone can help with this as I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.
Shaun

Hi Guys,
I managed to find a solution to the problem. I noticed that the DNS server zones did not look quite right. The _msdcs zone was missing the subfolders (dc, domains, gc, pdc).
To fix this issue: on the NIC adapter I had to tick the box "register this connection's addresses in DNS" (found under TCP/IP v4 > advanced > DNS tab).
I then had to remove the DNS role, reboot then re-add the role. Problem solved. Hopefully this saves someone else pulling their hair out for an entire day.
