I did a clean install of Fedora 11 on a machine and updated it using yum. Then I tried to install FreeIPA on it. But strangely I had a harder time doing it. It again outputs an error complaing about not being able to contact itself. here is the ipaserver-install log 2009-12-15 20:19:51,187 DEBUG Loading StateFile from '/var/lib/ipa/sysrestore/sysrestore.state' 2009-12-15 20:19:51,196 CRITICAL Could not connect to the Directory Server on id.example.net 2009-12-15 20:19:51,204 DEBUG {'desc': "Can't contact LDAP server"} File "/usr/sbin/ipa-server-install", line 609, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/sbin/ipa-server-install", line 509, in main krb.create_instance(ds_user, realm_name, host_name, domain_name, dm_password, master_password) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ipaserver/krbinstance.py", line 135, in create_instance self.__common_setup(ds_user, realm_name, host_name, domain_name, admin_password) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ipaserver/krbinstance.py", line 119, in __common_setup raise e TIA.

On the replica server can you do something like: % ldapsearch -x -h ipa.example.com -p 389 -b "dc=example,dc=com" uid=admin That will confirm that the ports are available. Can you provide the ipareplica-install.log? rob </div></blockquote></td></tr></table> <hr size=1> <a href="http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylc=X3oDMTFnNHZxc2k1BHRtX2RtZWNoA1RleHQgTGluawR0bV9sbmsDVTExMDM0NjUEdG1fbmV0A1lhaG9vIQ--/SIG=11k7khaee/**http%3A//downloads.yahoo.com/sg/internetexplorer/"> Surf faster. </a> Internet Explorer 8 optmized for Yahoo! auto launches 2 of your favorite pages everytime you open your browser.<a href="http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylc=X3oDMTFnNHZxc2k1BHRtX2RtZWNoA1RleHQgTGluawR0bV9sbmsDVTExMDM0NjUEdG1fbmV0A1lhaG9vIQ--/SIG=11k7khaee/**http%3A//downloads.yahoo.com/sg/internetexplorer/">Get IE8 here!
