Now I am running OS X server
Authored by: uteck on Nov 12, '02 10:36:58AM

I did this and then ran software update, and the OS 10.2.2 Server update is listed now. I will install it to see if it works. If I don't respond today then assume I am reinstalling :)

Now I am running OS X server
Authored by: uteck on Nov 12, '02 11:09:23AM

Everything is OK! In Utilities I now have the extra programs that Server has, Macintosh Manager, SQL Manager, ect. Some do not work (Network Image Utilty), others I don't know what they do (Workgroup Manager). Over all, the machine still boots and the apps still run.
But then I go out of my way to try to destablize my machine, it is the only way I know how to learn about it :)

Now I am running OS X server

I logged in to my machine via an account where I had not turned of auto software update; next thing I know the 10.2.2 Server Update was being downloaded and installed. (Actually, having installed 10.2.2 remotely via ssh, I thought it strange that the update didn't seem to take and said "go ahead" before I realized it was Server not Client update that was being applied.)

Unfortunately you'll find that none of those things (the server apps that end up in the Utilities Folder) work (Cannot Connect to server) and you now have no control over Sharing from the Pref Panes for example.

Luckily my php and apache installs seem to still work correctly as does mod_mp3, but who knows what's caught now in a half-server, half-client state. For example, 10.2.2 Server says it updates Apache 2.0, but my box is still @ 1.3.27

I am hoping that removing Serverversion.plist (which incidently is no longer a symlink after the 10.2.2 Server ug is applied) and installing 10.2.2 Combo from the standalone will put things right, but who knows.
