So if you happen across this application and want to torture yourself trying to get it to do something useful, you’ll have to downgrade your OS to get a version old enough to include the “real server” applications. This used to be a great way to incorporate the OS backup capability (one of the main reasons for using a mac) for your servers.
Anybody who uses Xcode will know overtime simulators for watchOS, tvOS, iOS versions gets longer plus take-up more disk space, but how do you delete older versions since there isn't a delete button? Well here is a quick snippet showing where and what files to delete to make more space. Note: Used for Xcode version 9 so unsure about lower versions. Open each folder and remove app logs on Mac. Remember to delete only the files inside not the main folder itself. After choosing all the files inside the app logs folder, press Command+backspace. Restart the Mac. Tip: You can highlight & copy the entire app logs to a different folder in case anything goes wrong while doing the process. macOS Server makes it easy to configure and monitor Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV devices and network storage volumes. Here’s what you’ll get with macOS Server: Profile Manager. Mobile device management for iOS, macOS, and tvOS devices. Distribution of institution licensed apps and books pur.
Profile Manager's basic setup is in Server app. You must use Safari to access Profile Manager's /mydevices webpage and the administration webpage.
Only server administrators can access your administration page. The URL format for your administration page is:
If you can't access the administration page with a web browser other than Safari, try with Safari. If you can't access it with Safari, try the following troubleshooting steps.
Check your DNS server
DNS settings are important when you're managing a Profile Manager deployment. If Profile Manager doesn't open, make sure your server points to a reliable DNS server.
If you can't push profiles or apps to clients
If you experience issues when you push profiles or apps to client systems, check the system log file in Console. If it reports that your server can't reach Apple's APNs servers, check your network's configuration. Make sure that all needed ports are open.
For more information, turn on APNS debug logging with these Terminal commands:
You can find the log file at /Library/Logs/apsd.log.
After your APNS transactions are logged, use these Terminal commands to turn off debug logging:
If you get other issues with Profile Manager
Profile Manager logs can help you fix issues with Profile Manager. You can find a symbolic link named 'devicemgr' at /var/log. This file points to /Library/Logs/ProfileManager, where you can find these logs:
devicemgrd.log
Provides the status of querying and syncing Open Directory and Active Directory users and groups.
Reports errors that occur from queries executed by devicemgrd.
Displays entries related to sending push notifications.
Displays entries related to DEP and VPP transactions.
dm_helper.log
Logs information related to MDM related user authentication from macOS network users.
dmrunnerd.log
Displays the status of starting and stopping the managed ruby processes that support the Profile Manager webpage (/profilemanager and /mydevices). This log is sometimes empty.
migration_tool.log
Shows the status and details of migration from a previous Server.app version.
php.log
Lists the IP addresses of devices that Profile Manager manages. If your devices are behind Network Address Translation (NAT), IP addresses listed here might not match.
Shows the interaction of MDM commands sent to devices and their responses.
Lists profile installation attempts and all commands sent to devices.
php-fpm.log
Displays the status of starting and stopping the individual php-fpm helper processes.
php-fpm.devicemgr.log
Issues with PHP are logged to this file.
PostgreSQL-<yyyy-mm-dd>.log
Logs any queries with Profile Manager's PostgreSQL database that result in an error.
This also logs commands that change the database schema.
profilemanager.log
Logs all user interactions performed in the Profile Manager administration page.
Lists error messages related to the Profile Manager webpage (/profilemanager and /mydevices).
Managed ruby process transaction issues are logged here.
servermgr_devicemgr.log
Logs the starting and stopping of the Profile Manager service.
These logs can also provide helpful information:
/var/log/apache2/service_proxy_error.log
/var/log/system.log
In macOS Sierra and later, some information is stored via Unified logging. The following terminal command can provide you with some additional helpful information:
About transaction 'failures'
Some of these logs might list transaction 'failures' or retries. Most of these entries are expected and don't indicate an issue. These logged events are conflicts between attempts to modify the underlying PostgreSQL database at the same time. These kinds of failures retry until they succeed.

You can identify transaction conflicts when you see any of these notes in your log files:
Canceled on conflict out to pivot
could not serialize access due to concurrent update
@@@ Retry #X
@@@ Retry X
Use verbose logging to find more info
More information on how to fix an issue is sometimes available if you increase the log level. To gather the information you need, reproduce the issue after you increase the logging level.
When you're finished, revert to the original logging level. If you leave the logging level at a higher setting, it decreases the available space on your startup drive.
Turn on verbose logging
To increase the level of logging, use this Terminal command:
This automatically restarts Profile Manager Service.
Turn off verbose logging
To revert the logging level back to its original setting, use this Terminal command:
This automatically restarts Profile Manager Service.
