The last couple of days I began setting up a new server for the small network that I administrate. Sadly, I ran into a mind-boggling problem right after the installation:
Adding the freshly set-up server to Server Monitor only produces the following error messages:
“Software not installed properly on server”
and
“CANNOT_LOAD_BUNDLE_ERR”
There are some posts about this issue on the web, so I wanted to let you all know what I found out.
One reason for the error can be a faulty DNS configuration. Check this by entering
$ sudo changeip -checkhostname
in your terminal. This might tell you if there’s a DNS problem. You might then refer to the Network Services Administration document on the Apple website, which gives some basic but useful information about DNS configuration.
Another reason might be the following: The Server Monitor tool only works together with a Mac OS X Server operation system that is installed on an XServe. It won’t work with an OS X Server installed on different hardware (as a Mac Pro, which turned out to be the problem in my case).
