[Fedora-directory-users] Admin server startup errors 1.0.4-1 onRHEWS3

[Steven Jones]

Hi,

 

You are installing? I have FDS running fine on RHAS4-32, at the time I
don't think RHAS5/ES5 was a supported platform and it would not
install/run, is it now?

 

AS3 is too obsolete to use IMHO.

 

I would also avoid the 64bit versions of RHAS/ES due to compatibility
issues with 3rd party software....

 

regards

Rich,

 

>From multiple install attempts, I've learned to set this before doing
anything:

 

export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/fedora-ds/bin/slapd/lib/:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"

 

On ES5 the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not previously set. On ES3 it is rich with
developer libraries in /usr/local, but the DS path is now first.

 

As for host names, nslookup and reverse lookup are both OK, for short
name, FQDN and IP. The /etc/hosts file does not conflict with DNS.

 

This is on Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon Update 6) and
ES5 Update 1 64 bit. I don't know if having the latest Update level
matters. However I'm running out of Red Hat versions to install this on.
They all have the same problem configuring the Admin server.

 

>What errors did you get during setup?

 

Pretty much the same behaviour on ES5/64bit end ES3/32bit. The startup
script merely says the Admin server doesn't start. At that point,
/opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv/logs/errors is empty. Later, after I manually
hack up a bunch of httpd.worker config files, it has the AdmldapInfo
error I already reported.

 

The only real difference between the two is that I can later manually
hack up Apache 2.0 configs on ES3/32, but it's hopeless on the Apache
2.2 of ES5/64, given the lack of mod_auth.so et al.

 

It seems that in all cases, the Admin server startup script exits early
and quietly.

 

Looking at the list, it seems I am not the only one with this problem.
This is very frustrating, I have NDS 6.3 I am heavily reliant on, and
very badly need a backup DS so I can do an extended service on that
server. Perhaps entering that server's info in the setup/setup script is
part of the problem?

 

-Ken.
