Hey all,
I'm having some troubles with the Admin Server (web). First, some details:
* This is my first experience with FDS * I'm running Debian and followed the install instructions here: http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:DebianUbuntu * I created/installed the debian package from fedora- ds-1.0.4-1.RHEL3.i386.opt.rpm * I can run the java console application, login, create entries, etc. * I'm a python coder, not a java one, so I have no idea about the java stuff.
Here are the issues I am seeing: 1) clicking on the "help" buttons on the java console results in a download dialog with the following message: The file "help" is of type application/octect-stream... 2) Clicking the "Restart" button (admin tasks) on the java console results in a 404 3) Attempting to visit the url http://myhost:62332/ results in a download dialog 4) If I download the file, open it and read it, it's a binary file. The file begins with the following: ELF

What version of Apache are you using? e.g. /usr/sbin/httpd.worker -V

That's all I can think of for now. Does anyone have any clue as to what could be going on? Is this a java app server dealie? I tried searching through the docs and the FDS pages for anything that might clue me in, and came up empty-handed...
Other than this, though, it looks like a killer LDAP server. Looking forward to getting this rolled out here, and providing folks with the web admin link to manage their info...
Thanks!

Anything in the admin-serv/logs/access or error? You might try using the debug log level - edit admin-serv/config/httpd.conf and set LogLevel to debug, then restart the admin server.

The above is all that's all that's in the log file...

Yup, that's with LogLevel set to "debug".

Looks like mod_cgi is not working properly or is misconfigured. It should be executing the help CGI and other CGI programs, not attempting to download them. Does the Apache on Debian include mod_cgi? Does Debian have anything like SELinux which would prevent CGI execution?

Hmm. I created a test cgi on the server in the system Apache, and it executed properly.
Ah, but then I checked the module loads in the FDS admin-serv/config/ admserv.conf, and the cgi module was commented out -- thanks!
I can now access the web admin server from the local machine. Can't get to it remotely, even though I followed the instructions described here: http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:AdminServerLDAPMgmt But I can now see it working, and that's more than I had before. I'm sure I'm just a few tweaks shy of getting remote access working.
Thanks for your help and patience!
