Trouble installing Server 4.0 (14S333) on 10.10.01 (14B25)

Hello.
I am trying to install Server 4.0 on my OS X 10.10.01 "Mavericks" system (MacMini (late 2012), quad i7, 16GB RAM, dual SSD).
First things first: being fairly paranoid and conservative, before attempting an installation of something so basic I took a Carbon Copy Cloner image of my System HD, dumped it to an external USB drive, and booted off that. So this is something of a test flight and should anything go catastrophically wrong I still have my system intact.
Now, I am trying to install Server 4.0 and the installer/setup wizard-thing excited with errors. According to /Library/Logs/Server/ServerSetup.log the actual error is this:
Dec 14 07:12:00.427 DeviceManager<7fc9b061bd80> Error running '/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/deviceManagerCommon.s h' [42871.962011 ms]
Dec 14 07:12:00.427 DeviceManager<7fc9b061bd80> '/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/deviceManagerCommon.s h' Error: No matching processes were found
Dec 14 07:12:00.427 DeviceManager<7fc9b061bd80> Profile Manager finished with errors
Having exited the Server installation tool I reloaded it, pointed it at my local machine ("Syntax"), and it loaded and behaves as advertised. But since I've been burned badly in the past I'd like some comfort with this so as to understand what actually happened, and what the implications might be... before I go ahead and do the same thing on my actual live system.
Thanks. Your time and patience will be most appreciated.

So, paranoia is good eh?
I must say I find the error message to be rather unhelpful and quite improperly alarming.
I’ve got DNS up and working (albeit with local IPs: a bit of a kludge for now) and there’s no sign of mishap.
Which is kind of relieving, since with 10.8 I experienced a total meltdown when I installed Server onto a machine that had been cloned from another. The old machine had been running Server and was cortex.something.com whereas the new one was codex.something.com. Some kind of LDAP mismatch ensued when I layered Server on top of it and the machine wouldn’t even boot… I have the habit of maintaing verbose boot and I could see it fail hard on mDNSresponder.
In the end I had to reinstall from scratch.
Hence the paranoia.

Trouble installing Distiller Server 8 alongside Acrobat Standard 8

After having installed Acrobat Standard 8 on a Windows XP machine (and updating to 8.1), I attempted to install Distiller Server 8 and received the following message: "Distiller Server is incompatible with the version of Acrobat installed on this computer. Please uninstall Acrobat to proceed with the installation of Distiller Server 8. Setup will now terminate."
I've called Adobe Technical Help and Adobe Customer Service, and they only direct me from one to the other resource. The info sheet for Distiller Server 8 states that this combination is supported, yet no one at Adobe appears to be familiar with either product.
I know that if I install Server first and then install Acrobat, it will cause issues with the Server functions - any suggestions?

Adobe doesn't support using different versions of Acrobat on the same Windows computer. You might be able to run Distiller Server on a virtualized Windows computer on the same hardware (but different OS) that is running Acrobat 9.

(Solved) Having trouble installing vlc and openoffice

I am having trouble installing both VLC and Openoffice.
VLC
I tried typing in:
yaourt -S vlc
At first, it finds the package, and the first time I did it, downloaded quite a bit of stuff, and then it failed after installing a rather large package and then says :
error: failed retreiving file 'vlc-0.9.9a-6-i686.pkg.tar.bz' from archlinux.unix.heads.org : Not Found
Any idea what may be causing this?
OpenOffice
I tried typing in:
yaourt -S openoffice
Then it said it could not find openoffice in my /etc/customizepkg.d and then asks me to change my PKGBUILD and I had no idea what to edit in it.
Then, it tried to install it, and it tells me svn is not found in AUR.
What does this mean and how can I get openoffice?

You need to use the -y flag to update your local repository list.
Ie pacman -Sy
You can conveniently combine all of your tasks..
pacman -Sy vlc openoffice-base
Error retrieving a file means either
A) The mirror you are using is updating itself and you were unlucky enough to sync right when it was doing so.. youll need to wait a little while and try -Sy again then..
B) Related to A.. your database could be either older or newer than the mirror you are using. If you switched mirrors recently, this happens sometimes. Most mirrors update ~daily, but some update ~weekly. -Sy to sync.. you could try -Syy to force a full sync so that even lists of supposedly up-to-date repositories (core,extra,so forth) are synced (doing so is only good/useful if you have problems)..
C) Your mirror is offline.. change it to another one in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
D) Your internet is not running / your DNS is not working properly.. try to ping a site you know is online to be sure. Google is always a good choice. ping www.google.com. You can ctrl+c to end it if it responds as expected. Fix your internet (see the wiki) and domain name server (/etc/resolv.conf and your router) if you have problems.
You may or may not also wish to pacman -Scc in order to clean out your cache of saved packages in case there is a download problem.
Your post gives the impression you don't understand pacman vs yaourt.. apologies if i'm wrong, but just in case:
Pacman is used for official binary repository files. Yaourt can do pacman's job in addition to its own with the same syntax (imo it does a pretty slow and lousy job of such though), but it's real original function is primarily to install 3rd party / community packages that the Arch devs either can't or won't maintain (and most often, have not "ok"ed them as safe to install). You should look at yaourt in the wiki.. when it asks you to change the pkgbuild I imagine you mean when it says 'what do you want to edit it with?'.. which you dont need to edit it at all. The reason it asks you is because yaourt can install stuff from AUR, which like I said is 3rd party / community stuff that can contain something malicious (AUR is open to submissions, unlike the official repositories) and you are highly advised to look it over for something fishy before compiling and installing. FYI -- believe me, you don't want to compile openoffice without reaaally good reason on a really fast machine. It hurts. Your machine will be as usable as a doorstop for a very long time while it's doing it's business. Just save your time and patience, install the compiled binary via pacman instead.
Please use the wiki, forum search functions, and man pages. Most of the Arch community is friendly and knowledgeable, but people get (rightly) irked when their work maintaining the aforementioned to answer queries like this one are ignored.

Can't install Server Admin Tools 10.6.2

Running Snow Leopard Server on a new Mac Mini Server and have had no trouble updating software through Software Update. I would like to install Server Admin Tools 10.6.2 but it is not picked up by Software Update, and when I downloaded it, the installer would not let it install "on this disk. Server administration software must be installed on the same volume as Mac OS X." The volume identified but blocked out IS the Mac OS X volume. Any ideas?

you should ask in the snow leopard server forum.
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=264
however, while I don't run os x server I'm quite sure that you should have server admin installed already if you have a server. that's probably why Software update is not picking it up.

You'll continue to have trouble, because...
There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player. Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it drains your battery, also shortening the life of it. Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both free in the GooglePlay store.
These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.

Trouble installing 9iDS R2 v9.0.2

We downloaded this new release of 9iDS v9.0.2 but having trouble installing it :
- Downloaded all 10 parts of this v9.0.2 for Windows on a Win2K machine in c:\9idsr2 directory
- Run the file10.bat which created 9.0.2ids_win32.exe in the same directory
- But now when we double click on 9.0.2ids_win32.exe to run it, it invokes the dos window and closes it immediately with following message :
"This program can not be run in DOS mode."
We tried it on two different Win2K machines and downloading it twice but same error all the time. Any idea what's wrong ?

Having same problems. Env: MS Windows 2000 Server with latest service pack on a P4 machine.
Response I got from Oracle support: They do not support OTN downloads per contract.
They told me to re-download as the files may be corrupt.
I chose to order the CD's via order request TAR. For MS Windows Pack Part Number is A91766-01

OS X Server 4 (Build 14S333) won't update from App Store

I bought "OS X Server" back in October of this year. It did not show up in updates on the App Store's update page but the OS X server claimed there was an update. I am running OS X 10.10.1 (Build 14B25) on an old mid-2008 iMac.
When I explicitly go to the "OS X Server" page of the App Store it shows an update as being available. When I try to update it says it will stop all OS X Server services and then hangs. Note: I am running Little Snitch but disable it for this update.
I have tried this multiple times with OS X Server opened and closed but after several weeks I still cannot update it. I would be willing to uninstall OS X Server and then try reinstalling it if I knew how.
Dealing previously with Apple on an non-updating App Store APP was extremely frustrating and did not get the issue resolved.
Does anyone have any suggestions so I can apply this update?
Note: I DID not need OS X Server on my system and I am not using it to manage other computers on my home network.
Thanks so much for your time and help.
Best Regards,
Bob

Thanks, that may have worked. I am a bit confused.
After doing as you suggested and rebooting the APP Store did allow installation but the version installed was Server 4 (Build 14S333) ** the same as before ** and yet again the App Store shows that OS X Server is update-able. Attempting to update again hangs.
I cannot find anything via Google or otherwise that has the Build number of the "latest released build" of OS X Server 4. Also the App Store page does not contain this information.
Thanks again for your help.

I am having trouble installing Snow Leopard on my MacBook -it just quits midway through. I have one GB of memory which I think should be enough. Any advice

I am having trouble installing Snow Leopard on my MacBook. It's around 4 years old and has 1GB Memory. The installation just quits around 20 minutes into the process without any error message. My current OS is Leopard.

but it didn't have Mac OS installed, the previous owner was a Windows 7 user, so that was the only OS installed in my Mac.
The previous owner should have given you the discs that originally came with the computer.
Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html

Having trouble installing Java 1.6 on Redhat via a SSH connection

I am struggling with almost the exact
same setup, RH6.2 & 8.1.5.0 patched
to 8.1.5.0.2. (Have been unable to
successfully start an instance).
What I found:
Make sure you're using jre1.1.6_v5
and it is linked to /usr/local/jre.
Also the /mnt/cdrom/runInstaller
never worked for me, but this did:
$cd /mnt/cdrom/install/linux
$sh runInst.sh
Hope this helps. Good Luck!

When installing Server 2008 Datacenter from disc, I get the error message "Windows could not parse or process the unattent answer file for pass [specialize].

This is a clean install from s disc onto a 3TB GPT drive. This is for testing. I'm not concerned with finding a more practical solution for this installation.
There is no image or answer file involved. But at the "Completing Installation" phase, I receive this error message about an answer file.
Has anyone else expecrienced this problem? The only results I find here are regarding actual imaging with answer files.
EDIT: [Redacted]
EDIT 2: Since this now happens with every single installation of Server 2008 on this system, I feel the need to keep this open and elaborate on my situation.
I originally installed Server 2008 on the 2TB partition of this 3TB drive. The partition type was MBR. I reinstalled it (there was a false alarm for malicious software) since it was a fresh install without updates or anything else installed. And for the
second time, it installed fine.
I decided to make the most of my 3TB drive and try GPT partitioning. So I went into the command prompt > diskpart > ran "clean" on the disk, then "convert GPT"
That is when I tried another install of Server 2008 and received this error message about an answer file.
I decided to convert it back to MBR and get on with what I wanted to test in the first place. So I went into Diskpart again, ran "clean", rand "convert MBR" and started the install. But this resulted in the same error message about an
answer file.
I went back to Diskpart, "clean"ed the disk, ran "convert dynamic" to make sure it was dynamic, then tried the install again, with the same result.
Now, I've tried installing on the disk as GPT, MBR basic and MBR dynamic. I've tried a different installation disc, as well. I got the same result. At this point, I'm going to switch hard drives, but I'm still open to input. Thanks for reading!

Hi,
As you swapped the hard disk, whether the same issue occurs again if you redo the same steps?
I asked "OEM or retail" because of this known issue:
"Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]" error message when you perform an in-place upgrade in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2425962
An answer file may already contain in the disc which causes the issue.
If issue still exists you can click Shift + F10 during the installation process to see the log. Check if the installation error for detailed information.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

Trouble installing 2.1.1 for ipod touch generation 1

I am having troubles installing 2.1.1 ipod touch software on a gen. 1 ipod touch. I am using an IMac G5, itunes 8, OS 10.5.4 and the process of updating in itunes has frozen with the blue candy stripe bar spinning as it says "preparing iPod software for restore."
The ipod is black with an white apple and a spinning wheel.
It's been about 5 hours.
What should I do?
Cheers.

Just found some info on apple support.
Updating your iPhone and iPod touch to iPhone software 2.0 or later for the first time
Software updates prior to iPhone software 2.0 updated the device without affecting your settings or media content. Updating your iPhone and iPod touch from iPhone software 1.x to 2.0 or later includes a back up, erase, and then restore of your device prior to installing the new update. iTunes will offer to create a one-time media backup of your device depending on what content is on your device and what content is stored in the iTunes Library you are connected to. You should ensure that you have enough free space on your Mac or PC to accommodate a backup that matches the capacity of your iPhone or iPod touch (4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB) if you proceed with the this backup.
As a result of this comprehensive one-time media backup, this process can take some time. The amount of time, is determined by the amount of data on the iPhone or iPod touch.
7 hours and counting. Stay tune. Maybe by tomorrow morning!
