    I've not seen a Server.app upgrade go more than a half-hour or so, and freshly-installed OS X Server.app installation should be quick.   Is this a fresh install, or are you upgrading an older OS X Server environment?

     

    If I had a backup or didn't care about the contents of the disk, I might try a reboot and see if restarting allows this installation to continue.   Failing that, clear out /Library/Server and related areas (I'd try this sequence), trash the download of Server.app, and redownload Server.app and try again.  Failing that, wipe and install.
