[Freeipa-users] Failure configuring certificate server instance

[Scott Ryan]

I am trying to get freeIPA up and running on a minimal CentOS6.5 installation.
i have forward and reverse DNS setup on an external DNS server - no
SELinux & no iptables (for troubleshooting)

but keep running into the following problem during installation :

 [3/21]: configuring certificate server instance

Any ideas would be helpful.
