Chapter 6 Initial Server Setup 121
Handling Setup Errors
When a server encounters a setup problem, Server Assistant shows a description of the
setup error, and gives some opportunity to either x it or try again.
If you are setting up the target server remotely, you are given the option to share its
screen and interact via the Server Assistant.
If setup fails because a passphrase le can’t be found when using setup data saved in
a le, you can:
Use Server Assistant (if installing locally) or Screen Sharing (if installing remotely) to Â
supply a passphrase interactively.
Supply the passphrase in a text le and restart setup. Â
For information on how to supply the passphrase, see “Using Encryption with Setup
Data Files” on page 118
If a remote server setup fails for any other reason, repeat initial setup before trying to
reinstall the server software.
If a local server setup fails, restart the computer, rerun Server Assistant, and reinitiate
setup, or reinstall the server software.
