First of all, thumbs up to the developers. The scripts work great!
However to get it to run on a Mac OSX Server you need to stop apache service to free up port 80 and stop the DNS service on the server and use the DNS service for example on the Airport Extream.
This can cause issues for some. Is there any way to at least leave the DNS service running and add the trailers lookup domain to the Local DNS with a specific IP to trick the Trailers app but leave the DNS in tact?
Or if I’m barking up the wrong tree perhaps the are other solutions for those running OSX Server?
I think the best solution is to run it off another box on your network if you have one. This is what I have done as I don't want to stop all my services running from Server.
Mmm, I trying to set it up on my Dlink DNS-323 with fun_pkg but would rather run it on my MacMin Server.
Perhaps someone will find a way …
I'd love to be able to run this on my Mac Mini 10.8 server as well, but am running into the DNS and apache issues. If someone has a solution, I'd love to hear about it.
the last version has a "enable DNSServer" setting. You can easily disable that part, but have to make sure on your side, that the trailer request is resolved correctly.
I've found that, and configured my DNS server to forward trailers.apple.com to my own server. I'm getting stuck on what to do so that I can use the web server service though (My server is the only computer that is reliably turned on and handles DNS, web sites and PMS for me). I set up a site that points at PlexConnect-XML_templates/ and listening on its a separate IP address, but I don't know the slightest bit of python, so I can't figure out how to make Apache handle what the Webserver.py script is currently doing.
Sorry, I have no experience with Apache so far. I only was able to help you with the DNS server part.
A couple of guys here have changed the PlexConnect WebServer port to something else... keeping #80 free for Apache.
*** I don't recommend doing this if you don't know your system! ***
If you try it anyways, you need to have Apache forwarding the aTV requests to PlexConnect - I have seen a couple of setups/scripts around here, that might do just this.

Baa I saw the iis server thread but nothing for OS X and apache.
There are a couple...
Here is one: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/69927-osx-server-cant-get-plex-connect-to-work/
Another one even showed some XML file with the server setup - if I remember correctly.
