No dirsrv directories at all? There should be some - try rpm -V
fedora-ds-base - if that has problems, try yum reinstall fedora-ds-
base
finally, try setup-ds-admin.pl -ddd to generate debug output - log
file is in /tmp
Thanks, guys. The problem was this: I was trying to create a new LDAP
server with the same name (i.e., hostname) as a server that already
existed on my network. So, the admin server configuration utility was
freaking out. I played with the /etc/hosts file and now life is good.
Thanks for the help! Now I have another problem, but I'll create a new
thread :)
