Os X Lion Error Reading Settings

Andy__D Level 1 (1 points) Q: Error reading settings on Server app I've just updated my Snow Leopard (non-server) install to Lion Server, and now when I try to go into the server app's "web" configuration section, I just get "error reading settings". I assume that this is because I'd manually edited my httpd.conf to allow PHP access (as well as PHP mySQL support) in my old Snow Leopard client install. Is there a way to get back to a defaul Lion web server configuration (other than a full re-install)?

My test mini had a clean install of 10.6 and then upgraded with no problem to 10.7. Another dev server upgraded but now has error reading settings issue. I tried copying the httpd.conf from the working machine to the broken one and that seemed to work until a reboot. Should I be using the httpd.conf.default maybe?

Hopefully you all had no issues following these to setup your server. However, especially if you have my luck, you most likely did. I have detailed below the issues I came across and how I resolved them. Please Note: As with everything, please, please, please make sure you have a full backup that has been booted up and tested to be working before going ahead with these steps. Profile Manager shows ‘error when reading settings’ in Server.app I’m sorry to say I found this one to have only one fix. Reset Profile Manager and start again. Helpfully enough the instructions for this were discussed by Peter earlier last week. When running the Profile Manager configuration assistant an error 1 appears. In my experience this was due to an Open Directory Master already being created that Profile Manager didn’t like. The first time I had this error, my only fix was to export my Open Directory contents, destroy the LDAP (by demoting the server in Server Admin), then re-run the configuration tool. Once I started getting the error again, even after following the above steps. I found this to be due to some saved certificates and keys from a now decommissioned Open Directory. This was done by launching the Keychain Access application(/Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access.app), navigating to the system keychain and removing
