Picked up a new i7 Mac Mini with Mavericks, but I want to put OS X Server on it.
Where/how can I get the previous version of Server for Mavericks since Server 4.0 is only for Yosemite?
I could not find it in the App Store (not saying it isn't there, but searching isn't finding it).
Thanks!
Hi Darryl,
Contact Apple Support for this I suppose...
Because I did purchase OSX server for Mavericks and other previous versions, but I am only able to choose from the most recent version of OSX server for Yosemite, all other server versions do not appear in my purchased section of the App Store.
I can see all downloads for client OSX like Mavericks and Mountain Lion, but for the server version there is only one download left, Yosemite.
For what it's worth your Mac Mini will run Yosemite just fine, so upgrading to 10.10 and getting OSX server shouldn't be a problem.
Any reason why you want to run OSX Server Mavericks?
This Mac Mini is going into a production environment as a server, replacing an old Mac Pro with SL. Yosemite is too new to put into production, and Mavericks is more polished.
That link doesn't do anything for me but take me to a website page about OS X Server...
If you don't have the appropriate version of Server.app already in your purchase history, you will want to contact Apple Support directly and acquire a redemption code.
The posted URL is showing Server.app 3.2.2 here, though it's possible it's checking purchase history, or you account, or your geography.
As for stability, test whatever you decide to install, don't assume. (Now if you'll excuse me, I'll head back to my evening of chasing Mavericks server bugs around.)
If you try to download the current version, you will get a message saying it's too new for your machine, would you like to download the correct one.
Follow this link's instructions. I've tested it out and it works for both OS X Server 2.2.5 and 3.2.2.
Where to get OS X Server 3.2.2 for new Mavericks setup?
