[Fedora-directory-users] Admin Console fails to start

[Tay, Gary]

I have not tried FDS on RHFC4 yet, anyone could confirm it works as
usual?

Some points:

1) Use mymachine.mydomain as hostname during installation.

2) If the /etc/hosts appears something like this:

127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost mymachine

I suggest you change it to something like that:

127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX     mymachine mymachine.mydomain

Where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the IP of your ldap server.

3) make sure admin server is started.

4) Check the /opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv/logs/error for error info

I tried all - localhost, localhost.localdomain, mymachine,
mymachine.mydomain etc.

Any combination did not help.

no, not yet (cause now it works) :-)

Yes I did.
