I’ve personally run into all kinds of hassles trying to set up an outdated version of Server.app, so save some time and update it (and anything else) before setting up anything. Next up, before setting up anything, I think it’s worth immediately checking for and installing any available software updates. So, do yourself a favour and stop by the major blacklisting sites (, , etc.), and be sure your IPs are ‘clean’.

The last thing you want is to get all set up on a new server only to discover later that - oops - one of your IPs recently belonged to a spammer and wound up getting blacklisted. One of the first things to do - probably before even logging into your shiny new server - is to check the IP address or addresses you’ve been assigned by your colocation facility. This is part 1 of an ongoing series on setting up your OS X Server as if your livelihood depended on it. Use a USB flash drive or other secondary volume to create a bootable installer.Even before you fire up Server.app to get your Mac Mini server delivering websites and other services, it’s important to plan for backup and recovery of the machine itself, should anything go wrong.
