Server.app "Could not connect to the server."
I just downloaded and installed Mountain Lion (the day after its release). It seems fine so far.
The next day I decided to install Mac OS X Server, so I dished out $20 and downloaded it from the App Store.
"setting up your server is incredibly simple" - Yeah okay. This is exactly what I do:
1) Open server. The "Set up your server" screen comes up.
2) Click "Continue".
3) Click "Agree".
4) Authenticate
I get a dialog box that slides down and says, "Could not connect to the server." The only option is "OK".
5) I select Manage->Connect to server..., and choose "This mac" from the list and click "Continue". It brings me back to the same screen that I started with.
6) Repeat 1-4. Same results, except that the application exits (gracefully - but with no feedback).
There aren't many options at all and I can see nothing else I can even try. I'm on a Mac Pro connected wirelessly to a Time Capsule. I also have a MacBook Pro, which curiously got further than I could get on the Mac Pro. Both computers are connected wirelessly to the same network and configured the same (as far as I can tell). The Mac Pro has far superior hardware compared to the MacBook Pro. (MP: 6-Core 3.33 Xeon / 24GB RAM/ 1TB HD / MBP: 1 Core2 Duo 2.4 GHz, 4 MB RAM, 160 GB HD). Both computers are running Mountain Lion.
I'm completely new to using OS X Server. I figured I could learn something with it for only $20. If I left out any important details, please let me know.
There's no documentation out there for this new product and I could find nobody else who has had any similar issues. Any help is greatly appreciated.
