[Freeipa-users] Trouble creating replica

I think this keeps coming back to the fact that ldap isn't listening on
7389 for some reason. When I try to *really* manually start pki-ca like
this, it complains about ldap before dying:

# sudo -u pkiuser -s /usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin/java -classpath
:/usr/share/tomcat6/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/share/tomcat6/bin/tomcat-juli.jar:/usr/share/java/commons-daemon.jar
-Dcatalina.base=/var/lib/pki-ca -Dcatalina.home=/usr/share/tomcat6
-Djava.endorsed.dirs= -Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/cache/tomcat6/temp
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=/var/lib/pki-ca/conf/logging.properties
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
:
:
Could not connect to LDAP server host oldmaster.my.com port 7389 Error
netscape.ldap.LDAPException: failed to connect to server ldap://
oldmaster.my.com:7389 (91)
[root at oldmaster]#

This bears out what I see in /var/log/pki-ca/catalina.out too.
