Aug 19, 2011 3:37 PM in response to wobaby gracoat,It appears that Lion Server may be the wrong product for you!
I'd stick with SL Server until you can see Lion providing the services that you need.
In the mean time, remember that the command line interface with Lion Server is equally as viable as it was with Snow Leopard server. If you're keen, learn it! Lion server suddently becomes equally as usable as Snow Leopard.

Aug 19, 2011 8:00 PM in response to gracoatby woba,Thank you for your advice. However I am working with computer more than 40 years and I am quite familiar with this stuff. However I have a business running and of cause ...I have SL server still running on some machines as backup. I have LS as upgrade and as clean installation as well. So I think I am able to compare.
However learning never stops... may be you have some ideas to the web sharing problem because it seems that this issue prevent the computer to connect to the website urls. Why does the server not keep his DNS settings after reboot... The SL servers so.

Aug 19, 2011 8:53 PM in response to wobaby gracoat,Sure... You said:
Websharing = apaches can not be activated by system properties which crashes if you try....
You're speaking of server.app in lion server?
Or are you speaking of System Preferences? If you're in System Preferences then enabling the web server there will not work. If you try and enable it there, I'm really not sure what'll happen. Hehe...
Either use Server.app, or the command line.
If the Server.app won't work, in the terminal use the serveradmin command to start the apache service. Remember that you have to be 'root' to do so.
If it errors in the command line, check the console and paste it in here. We'll try and help out. It's usually something simple. There's not a lot to the Apache service that's super cryptic.
The configuration files for Apache are in the /etc/apache2 folder. Have a look at the httpd.conf file and you'll have a pretty good handle on how things work. In lion server, nine tenths of your configuration will need to happen in this file or the files in the /etc/apache2/sites folder.
WGM... It shouldn't be crashy. Delete the preferences in your ~/Library/Preferences folder. If that doesn't work then I have a hunch that it's a problem with your OD. Run a backup of the database, and demote the server to standalone. Repromote it and see if WGM is still unstable. If it's stable, then reimport your databse and check for stability once more.
Good luck!
