This version of Server does not support upgrading the Server data on this volume

Hey Guys,

I have recently updated my server to ElCapitain and downloaded mac server from the App Store.

When i go to run Server, i get the following

Unable to set up Server - This version of Server does not support upgrading the Server data on this volume. To upgrade the Server data, you will need to install an older version of Server and OSX.

Is there any way i can override this and install server fresh?

Im stumped.

Cheers,

Hi Chris,

After removing the /Library/Server directory, I've managed to upgrade the Server.app and only obtained User/Groups settings.

You will need to manually restore others.
