Setting up new Casper server with 10.10.5 and Server 5.0.4

[jfreeseman]

I am having an issue getting a new JSS set up going. I was able to get MySQL, Java and everything else set up correctly I believe. I am able to get all the way through the installer but when I get to the last window where it gives the link to get to the JSS (https://127.0.0.1:8443) I get redirected to the default Mac OS X Server page instead of my JSS page.

Can anyone give any thoughts/help?

I think I just read in another thread a few days back that the current JSS installer doesn't recognize Server 5.x yet. You need to go to Server 4.x for now.

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist

Try that. If it doesn't work, you may need to fall back to Server.app 4.1.5, which is not available from the App Store. May need to snag it from another machine with Server.app installed, or from a kind soul who has it, as Apple does not make older versions of Server.app 4 available from the App Store...

You can also try editing /Library/Server/Web/Config/Proxy/apache_serviceproxy.conf

Look for the line starting Listen 8443 and change it to #Listen 8443

Start and restart apache (sudo serveradmin stop web; sudo serveradmin start web) then try again

Recently when I was creating a test JSS I noticed in the system requirements it had (Recommended) beside OS X Server in the listing. It made me wonder what you need OS X Server for ? It sounds like it may run without it. @RobertHammen It is possible to get Server 2 and 3 from the App store in a round about way. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203137 You gotta figure they will add Server 4 to that list as well. I'm betting Jamf has the Server 5 thing ironed out for the next update.

Perhaps this will still work with obtaining Server 4.

Your answer is in maxbehrs reply. There is a whole bunch of unwanted ports being used or hijacked by the new server.app. Check out a recent post on Charles Edge's blog with a fantastic (raving) walkthrough on the subject here: http://krypted.com/mac-security/troubleshooting-apache-proxies-and-tomcat-in-os-x-server-5/

JAMF actually has a defect number for this, D-009587. Check out this post:

You might want to reach out to your TAM and have your issue tied to the defect.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I reached out to our Jamf support person and we ended up getting it working. We are not using the JDS setup. Had websites enabled (since it was on the old server we were migrating from) we turned it off, removed the Tomcat folder from Library/JSS and re-ran the JSS installer and it seems to be working now.

@rcorbin @gskibum This is why I specified "Server.app 4" in my post. I exhausted all of the options to make it work. If anyone has AppleCare Enterprise and wants to open a case on how they can still get 4.1.5, suggest that you do. I know that Casper Suite 9.8 nor the pending 9.81 address the JDS incompatibility with Server.app 5.
