Unable to open profile manager; postgres error

After several days of trying today I was able to connect a network user to the server, but now I'm not able to open the profile manager. It shows the error message:

The server is freshly installed and after setting up DNS, OD and a group and user, I'd liked to setup the profiles for the users. After opening the profile manager all I see is the error message above. All I've done after activating the Profile Manager was "Standard Configuration: Including Configuration for Services" and "Sign Configuration Profile".


All i found in the community is that I have to back up all data, delete Server.app and restore it from the backup. Than launch and reinstate services. But the thread ist from december 2012 and I'm hoping, that there's another way to make it work.


Thanks in advance for all hints, tipps and tricks to make it work as it should.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), early 2009
