Network accounts unavailable after update

After the latest update for OS X Server (2.2.1) all my network accounts are gone and I cannot create new ones. There home folders are still on the disk but they do not appear in server app. Users cannot login.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Primary address = 10.0.1.3



Current HostName = server.antben.private

DNS HostName = server.antben.private



The names match. There is nothing to change.

dirserv:success = "success"


Good luck reading the log…

I think you just need to rebind to open directory.


In Server.app (on the server), under the Tools menu, choose Directory Utility


Click the lock to unluck


In Services, edit LDAPv3


You should have an entry in the table for 127.0.0.1, delete that entry.

(this doesn't delete data, its just an association of that machine to the open directory database)


Click new

Enter: 127.0.0.1

Leave all defaults, then click continue

Hit OK and quit Directory Utility


Recheck your server.. hopefully that does it.

yes that worked! Thanks for your help! If you have the time, I am also having a problem with the server website. Wiki works but the main dose not. I checked permissions and the website says anyone.

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.
