[Fedora-directory-users] Re: Fedora directory server 7.1 on CentOS

Hai,

  Thanks for your help.

  Finally i made the Fedora DS get working on CentOS 4.3 SMP kernal.

There is a problem in support for java by FDS. To configure the Fedora DS 7.1 
on Multiprocessor kernal like CentOS 4.3 SMP we need to do the following,

1) By default FDS 7.1 uses IBM JRE which will not help the Admin Server to run 
on Multiprocessor kernal

2) So Download the latest Sun Java(JDK V 1.5 or above) and install

3) Open the configuration file "/opt/fedora-ds/bin/https/bin/start_JVM"

4) Edit the file and update the NSES_JRE field with newly installed java
    (jre)path.Accordingly update the NSES_JRE_RUNTIME field.

For Example:
-----------

NSES_JRE=/opt/jdk1.5.0_06/jre;export NSES_JRE
NSES_SERVER_HOME=/opt/fedora-ds; export NSES_SERVER_HOME
NSES_JRE_RUNTIME_LIBPATH=${NSES_JRE}/lib/i386/server:${NSES_JRE}/lib/i386:${NSES_JRE}/lib/i386/classic:${NSES_SERVER_HOME}/lib/i386/native_threads; 
export NSES_JRE_RUNTIME_LIBPATH

5) Open the "/opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv/config/jvm12.conf"  modify the 
jvm.option field as "jvm.option=Xrs -server" remove all other entries below on 
that file

6) Make sure directory server instance is running

7) Now start the Admin server (./start-admin).

It should work.

There is no problem in configuring the Fedora DS 7.1 in Uniprocessor Kernal.

Thanks a lot for all your support.

(Let me contact you all for further enquiries if i have any.)

Note: I kindly request the moderator to post this mail in the user 
archive.This must be useful to fedora directory server users to configure 
FDS 7.1 on CentOS and Multiprocessor systems.
