Where did my camera roll go in iOS 8?

Your photos have not been deleted. They have just moved to a new location. The new Photo App has replaced your camera roll and PhotoStream.  Your photos that had been in PhotoStream are now in Recently Added.  Recently Added consists of photos added within the last 30 days on you iOS devices.  If you delete a photo here it will delete off of all of your devices. In order to view your older photos, you need to use the Years, Collections, and Moments views.

CrashPlan runs out of memory and crashes

Before backing up to your destinations, the CrashPlan app performs data de-duplication. Large file selections take more memory to de-duplicate, so in some cases, a large file selection (over 1 TB or 1 million files) can cause the CrashPlan app to run out of memory and crash.

FileMaker Server Web Services and OS X Server

If you install FileMaker Server web publishing services on an OS X Server machine it takes over the default http and https ports, 80 and 443 respectively.  What this means is that you cannot have FileMaker Server web publishing and built in OS X Server web services (ie. - Profile Manager) on the same machine.  Even if you then uninstall Filemaker web services, you may find that it holds on to the ports and you will not be able to load default OS X Server web pages.  You can usually check this by going to Activity Monitor, and search for httpd.  You may see multiple services owned by fmserver, which is the indication that FileMaker web services has taken over.

You can manually unload the processes but it will load itself up at next restart.  So try going to /Library/LaunchDaemons and look for com.filemaker.httpd.graceful.plist , com.filemaker.httpd.start.plist , and com.filemaker.httpd.stop.plist.  Remove them and restart.  Always back up these files first as a precaution.  I would also recommend stopping and starting OS X Server web services and/or Profile Manager and clearing your browser cache.
