fedora directory server

[Marcel Janssen]

Hi Graig,

Thanks for the reply.

One of the things that bothers me is that I seem to be running a very new 
version and all docs I find on the web are outdated except for this :
http://www.orangespike.ca/?q=node/81

I've been trying for nearly 6 hours now and get nowhere. I will remove 
everything and start all over again. Hopefully I made a mistake somewhere and 
have better luck with a fresh try.

What I understand from your mail and the above web page is that I'm on the 
right track. The problem at this moment is that the admin console doesn't 
start and I have no clue yet why.

regards,
Marcel
