error reading settings in wiki and profile manager

I have just upgraded from Snow Leopard Server to Lion server.

I now have the following errors in server app:-

Wiki : message "Error Reading Settings"

Profile Manager: message "Error Reading Settings"

What do I do to get my wiki back!

When I visit my default ssl Wiki I get the following:-

Collaboration::PGCConnectionError in Sources#index

Showing /usr/share/collabd/coreclient/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb where line #5 raised:

FATAL:  role "collab" does not exist

Extracted source (around line #5):

I've had the same issue where profile manager was not reading the settings. I ran the following script: /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/share/devicemgr/backend/wipeDB. sh

When i went back into the server app and tried to enable device management, it's telling me "This computer is already a network directory server" and i can't continue.

Not sure what to do.

This problem is fixed for me after couple days of frustration.

The final things that fixed were the following

1) create a .bash_profile if it doesnt exist already in your ~/ folder (home folder)

save and reload by typing ". .bash_profile"

2) in this edit to add the following command

export PGHOST=localhost

3) Initialize postgres with

sudo -u _postgres /usr/bin/pg_ctl initdb -D /var/pgsql

4) sudo chown _postgres:_postgres /Library/Logs/PostgreSQL

5) Initialise all databases

run all the scripts found

/System/Library/ServerSetup/CommonExtras/PostgreSQLExtras

especially for the profile manager error that I was getting, the devicemgr_db did not exist in the right location. So running create_devicemgr_db.sh fixed it. Some of you may have issues with CalDAV or Webmail or CoreCollaboration. This solution will fix all of them, I believe.
