Q: Server 3.1 Breaks Profile Manager (PM won't start)

Hi All,

Updated to server 3.1 this am and now Profile manager will not start. When I go to turn it on via the server app, its simple hangs on "starting" for a few minutes then reverts to "Off".

I tried reverting to my backup of 3.0.3, but of course the service updates that are done by 3.1 prevent this.

I'm also not seeing any devicemgr logs in the console.

Any suggestions?

Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

With 3.1.1 out now, has anyone seen any improvements?

No, unfortunately Profile Manager is still broken.

Same issues as before and I can reproduce the problem on a freshly installed test server.

Please note, if you applied the "ALTER TABLE" workaround I mentioned in this thread, you will need to apply the workaround I posted in Server 4.1 Profile Manager Migration Failed before you can successfully upgrade to Server 4.1. I would recommend doing this before you install Server 4.1 if you haven't already.

sudo psql -U _devicemgr -d devicemgr_v2m0 -h /Library/Server/ProfileManager/Config/var/PostgreSQL -c "ALTER TABLE mdm_targets ALTER COLUMN last_update_info_time SET DEFAULT 'epoch'"
