On 10.7.2 Server DHCP, DNS, Netboot, Web and Open Directory services stop (as seen in Server Admin/Server.app) and are unable to be restarted. If I try to restart them I don't get an error message, but the indicator resolutely remains grey (instead of green).
I can make this problem happen by:
restarting the server
restarting the switch/router that runs the whole school
It also happens pseudo randomly.
To fix the problem I need to:
- Unplug the main router and our internet ADSL box
- Shut down the Server
- Cuss.
- Plug the main router/switch in
- Plug in the internet box
- Wait for a minute or so
- Turn on the server
This is far, far less than ideal. I'm happy to grab error messages from console if that helps - but give me an indication for what service you'd like it from. Perhaps you can tell me if this is a conflict somewhere - a bug, or something I can fix. It's driving me crazy.
Cheers, Glen.
