Check your /etc/host file and make sure that it says the correct ip address and hostname Per <blockquote style="border-style: none none none solid; border-color: -moz-use-text-color -moz-use-text-color -moz-use-text-color rgb(34, 67, 127); border-width: 0pt 0pt 0pt 2px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;">--- Original message follows --- Subject: [389-users] Changed hostname of machine. FDS Admin Server FAILS to start: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name From: "David (Dave) Donnan" <david.donnan@thalesgroup.com> To: "Fedora-directory-users@redhat.com" <Fedora-directory-users@redhat.com> Date: 15-05-2009 13:06 Hello everybody and thanks for the continued support. It's incredible. I thought I'd be clever and installed my FDS on a machine with a hostname of localhost.localdomain ! When I rename it to it's proper hostname, a.b.c, the admin server FAILS when I start it: <blockquote> <blockquote><tt>./dirsrv-admin start</tt> <tt>Starting dirsrv-admin:</tt> <tt>httpd.worker: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for a.b.c</tt> <tt>httpd.worker: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName</tt> <tt> [FAILED]</tt> </blockquote> </blockquote> Honestly, I've tried everything I can think of, for example: - hacking /etc/init.d/dirsrv-admin - hacking /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/httpd.conf specifically the variable: ServerName a.b.c:390 - hacking /usr/sbin/start-ds-admin ... Q1. Can anyone recommend a solution ? Thanks, Dave -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users</blockquote>
