Does anyone know if I am having a serious problem with my login issues, if I go an re-install mac os x server 10.2, will this cause everything to be messed up? Do I have to re-install all my programs, or will it jsut write over the mac os x components and hopefully repair the corrupted files maybe?



ANyone know?



thanks



dave

    setup is the same as Client. You can do an install over the current OS and it will keep your settings, prefs, etc.



    I dont know about server settings, special servlets, etc etc etc.



    Do a good Apple Backup and maybe even a BUUP (Back Up User Prefernces (versiontracker)).



    Even a Carbon Copy Cloner of the essential files you're not sure about.

    Ya im a little confused now. I just called apple and they said that the server software isnt the same as the clien. I dont get the options that the client has. I can only do a fresh install and they said i will loose everything if you know otherwise let me know for sure
