    You can't upgrade OS X Lion to OS X Lion Server. You have to start with a OS X Lion Server install.

     

    Bringing up the log window (I think the installer had a log window back in 10.7) may also give more detailed information.

    Install.log (in /var/log) will be more helpful than "All messages"

    As I said in the beginning... You can't upgrade Lion to Lion Server. You have to start with a Lion Server install. According to this line:

    Running OS Build: Mac OS X 10.7.5 (11G63)

     

    It appears that you have OS X Lion installed on your Xserve, not OS X Lion Server.
