Hello,

What platform are you using (Fedora? CentOS? RHEL?) and what version of FreeIPA
are you using?

Also, I following error in the log
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
So it seems some port is occupied. Is your port 8443 occupied? Maybe by running
httpd daemon before the installation?
