AFP: File Sharing Error: Error Reading Settings Mountain Lion

i have recently upgraded to Server 2.1.1 and now, none of my users can log into their account.

The errors I am getting are:

Multiple errors occured on the server while processing commands.

Going to the server log I get this:

Oct 4 10:27:03 macserver.sfhigh.net AppleFileServer[1063] <Info>: TCP Listener returned error on accept

Oct 4 10:27:08 macserver.sfhigh.net AppleFileServer[1063] <Info>: TCP Listener returned error on accept

Oct 4 10:29:08 macserver.sfhigh.net AppleFileServer[1063] <Info>: TCP Listener returned error on accept

Oct 4 10:30:23 macserver.sfhigh.net AppleFileServer[1063] <Info>: TCP Listener returned error on accept

Oct 4 10:30:46 macserver.sfhigh.net AppleFileServer[1063] <Info>: TCP Listener returned error on accept

Oct 4 10:54:33 macserver.sfhigh.net AppleFileServer[1063] <Info>: TCP Listener returned error on accept

Oct 4 11:11:00 macserver.sfhigh.net AppleFileServer[2059] <Info>: TCP Listener returned error on accept

and sometimes after switching the service Off and then On I get

The error occurred while processing a command of type 'getConnectedUsers' in plug-in 'servermgr_afp'.

I have tried stopping and starting the service via Terminal, but nothing!

HELP!

Thanks

OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

I have the same problem as you, since the upgrade to 10.8 + server 2.1.1 I'm experiencing a lot of problems - but with no response from Apple (open few bugs).

Occure only after the upgrade:

- Cannot do AFP connection to the server

- "System Image utility" crash ("An Unknown Error Occured")

I was having trouble with selecting File Sharing in the Server app. It would tell me that an error occurred every time...

An error occurred on the server while processing a command.

The error occurred while processing a command of type 'getConnectedUsers' in plug-in 'servermgr_afp'.

I simply restarted the server and the problem went away.

Restarted the server multiple times, does not fix. Restarted the service still no change. It will pop up briefly on the settings page till someone tries to connect to it then it displays Error Reading Settings

yes 10.8.3 and 2.2 updated. The weird thing is it was working just fine last week, no changes over the weekend.

I'm seeing:

"The error occurred while processing a command of type 'getConnectedUsers' in plug-in 'servermgr_afp'."

Can't connect my laptops to my server and don't know how to fix. Running 10.8.3 and 2.2.1. Worked until update 😟

I had this too, but was able to fix it by deleting /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist and restarting the server.

However, this solution also seems to reset the maxConnections to 10 users, so you will also need to reset this. The command to do this, in the Terminal, is:

sudo serveradmin stop afp

sudo serveradmin settings afp:maxConnections = -1

sudo serveradmin start afp

Hope this helps.

This solution makes a bit of sense, since the problem only occured once we added 4 more users to the system, AFP crashed and File sharing and Time Machine backups stopped working even after restarting the services. However once we seperated our 2 external USB drives, everything started working again. Currently now have 2 Mac Minis set up, each with a external drive for Users to back up to.
