[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1616335, member: 307555"] From what I am gathering you installed the server OS on an external hard drive that is attached to an iMac that has Yosemite on its boot drive. When you installed the server OS on the external hard drive you could set it up (in effect you made the OS drive the external - temporarily.) When you shut the computer down and restarted, Yosemite, which is on the internal main hard drive, loaded but the server app didn't. From what I am reading the server app is able to be installed with Yosemite. It is intended to convert your computer into a "lite" server giving you server-like services. When you installed did the app encourage or indicate using an external hard drive would be the best option? I have a feeling it needs to be on the main boot drive. I also see the reviews are mixed and some are raving the server app is great while others are saying it does not work with Yosemite. Given the fact some people are having no problems with Yosemite and others are, I would not be surprised that there are issues. I would recommend a very good back up and then reinstalling the server app on the main drive and go from there. I will be curious to see what you come up with. :D Servers are funny thngs..they can run flawlessly or drive you nuts. The two windows servers I have at work are running flawlessly and I tell them daily what good girls they are. ;D Lisa [/QUOTE]
