"server starting up" message after update

Question

Hi All,
I've just updated my server from 10.6.5 to 10.6.7 and upon restart I can't connect to my wikis or blogs. I just get a grey screen and a spinning wheel saying "server starting up". I have tried the Apple solution listed here, as I do host my Collaboration folder on a sperate volume:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3757
and the post from Tarnyinc
https://www.tarnyinc.com/groups/trainingcenter/weblog/03f55/Wiki__Blog_Surprise_ for_1064_Update.html
but to no avail.
Here is the last output from the wikid error log
2011-05-26 14:15:19+0100 [-] Main loop terminated.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am having a similar issue as you marktech, with colaboration folder on a different drive.
My temporary solution is to stop and start web services on the server, and the message goes away and users can log in.  Problem comes back on a server restart.
Swamped here so have not been able to apply troubleshooting techniques.
What I have checked is verifying permissions on collaboration folder.  Seems like I had to re-apply permissions after any significant update.
My final resolution will be to migrate from the ssd hard drive (the extra speed is not any significant impact for us) to a 1TB hard drive and migrate data back over to a single drive in original directory locations.  appologies have not had ample time to research the issues....
