What version of Apache are you running on the system?

Make sure that your directory server is up and running.  You should try 
doing an ldapsearch as the same user you are attempting to log into the 
Console as.  If all else fails, tail your DS access log when you attempt 
to log in via Console to see if the Directory is even getting hit.
