[Freeipa-users] Trouble with replica install

Thu Jan 2 16:46:55 UTC 2014

Hello Les,

Did you manage to resolve the issue? I just got to it after the Christmas
break. Reading few resources online, this error seems to come of a
misconfigured httpd when for example mod_authz_groupfile.so or
mod_authz_user.so Apache modules are not loaded (I have them loaded in
/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-base.conf).

Did you modify httpd configuration before you run ipa-replica-install in any way?
