The install on OS X 10.11 appears to go fine. At the end, I get a popup saying "Server was replaced in the Applications folder". However, when I go to launch Server from my applications folder, it launches Server version 4.1.51.


Best I've found in the release notes is this:

Older versions of OS X Server can launch on OS X v10.11 Developer Beta 1 after an OS upgrade or migration. Quit OS X Server and install OS X Server 5.0 Beta 1.

... but this is immediately after the 5.0 Beta 1 install, not an OS upgrade or migration.


Is there another way to launch Server 5.0 beta 1?

Version 4.1.51 (15S2126s) is Server 5.0 Beta 1


Not the first time Apple have done a beta version where the version number on the application shows as if it was a newer version of the previous version. They are not big on having version numbers show as 5.0b1.

It should be based on what Server.app is in your /Applications folder I believe. What version is in there?

Thanks! I know they show the beta versions in Xcode -- had no idea they might choose to not do this in Server.
