Answer 1

I had the same problem with a new macOS 10.14 installation.

Any chance you have the latest version of macOS Server (5.7.1) installed too? Apparently the Xcode Server initialization process assumes that if you have macOS Server installed, then it can find a bundled version of Apache.

Since Apple gutted macOS Server recently, that assumption no longer holds, and the helper tools crash during initialization (check for xcsreciperunner crash logs).

I was finally able to turn on Xcode Server only after deleting the macOS Server app. Hope this helps.
