Thanks Adrian, I found a question that helped me: I attempted to create or join an ArcGIS Server site and something failed. How do I troubleshoot the issue? If you encounter a failure when creating or joining an ArcGIS Server site, you can troubleshoot the issue by addressing the error messages reported in the create site or join site summary panel. Additionally, a log of the event is recorded on disk, located at /arcgis/server/usr/logs//server. The messages in the log can provide additional insight into what caused the issue. To view the log, browse to the logs directory and open the log in a text editor. Seemes there's something wrong with my license I'm checking that out now. Thanks again
