[Fedora-directory-users] FDS 1.1 is not starting on CentOS 5

[Morenisco]

Hi,

I was able to install and configure FDS 1.1 on CentOS 5, but in the 
latest step of the configuration, the service doesn't start.

1) I saw the following messages in the last part of the installation:

Are you ready to set up your servers? [yes]:
Creating directory server . . .
Server failed to start !!! Please check errors log for problems
Could not start the directory server using command 
'/usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1/start-slapd'.  The last line from the 
error log was '[28/Dec/2008:11:18:14 -0300] - Fedora-Directory/1.1.3 
B2008.269.157 starting up
'.  Error: Unknown error 256
Error: Could not create directory server instance 'dirserver1'.
Exiting . . .
Log file is '/tmp/setupRikE7Y.log'


2 ) The error log just says the following:

[28/Dec/2008:12:41:07 -0300] - Fedora-Directory/1.1.3 B2008.269.157 
starting up


3) The log file /tmp/setupRikE7Y.log says the following:

[08/12/28:11:13:10] - [Setup] Info Are you ready to set up your servers?
[08/12/28:11:13:16] - [Setup] Info yes
[08/12/28:11:13:16] - [Setup] Info Creating directory server . . .
[08/12/28:11:23:18] - [Setup] Info Could not start the directory server 
using command '/usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1/start-slapd'.  The last 
line from the error log was '[28/Dec/2008:11:18:14 -0300] - 
Fedora-Directory/1.1.3 B2008.269.157 starting up
'.  Error: Unknown error 256
[08/12/28:11:23:18] - [Setup] Fatal Error: Could not create directory 
server instance 'dirserver1'.
[08/12/28:11:23:18] - [Setup] Fatal Exiting . . .

Well, I'm using the user 'nobody' and group 'nobody'.

4) When I try to run the command by hand as root, I get the same:

[root at dirserver1 slapd-dirserver1]# pwd
/usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1
[root at dirserver1 slapd-dirserver1]# ./start-slapd
Server failed to start !!! Please check errors log for problems

5) Running the command with sh -x, I got the line that it not starting 
the command:

+ cd /usr/sbin
+ ./ns-slapd -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1 -i 
/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.pid -w 
/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.startpid

6) Running the last command by hand:

[root at dirserver1 sbin]# ./ns-slapd -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1 -i 
/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.pid -w 
/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.startpid
[root at dirserver1 sbin]#
[root at dirserver1 sbin]# ps -fea | grep slapd
root      6893  6729  0 12:55 pts/3    00:00:00 grep slapd

==> this is not starting.

7) Trying the same, but with trace level:

./ns-slapd -d 1 -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1 -i 
/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.pid -w 
/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.startpid

[28/Dec/2008:12:58:18 -0300] - <= send_ldap_result
[28/Dec/2008:12:58:18 -0300] - Fedora-Directory/1.1.3 B2008.269.157 
starting up
Failed to open stats file (/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.stats) 
(error 1).

Then, the binary ns-slapd is not creating the file 
/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.stats (I think).

8) Some details of the binary and my kernel version:

[root at dirserver1 sbin]# file ns-slapd
ns-slapd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for 
GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 
2.6.9, stripped
[root at dirserver1 sbin]#
[root at dirserver1 sbin]# uname -a
Linux dirserver1.cdsl.cl 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jun 10 18:49:47 EDT 
2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


Could it be related to the difference of the kernel version?

Thanks!
