Q: 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
Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Fixed it, very odd. Looked at Console.app, it was trying to copy a launchd job into the /Library/LaunchDaemons/ folder, and for some reason it didn't exist so it failed. Created the folder manually and it worked.
Very very odd.. shoudn't this folder be installed by default?!
