Hi,

After successfully running FDS on RH3, I've tried to install it on FC3. I got this:

---

Your new directory server has been started. Created new Directory Server Start Slapd Starting Slapd server configuration. Fatal Slapd ERROR: Ldap authentication failed for url ldap://fds1.cshl.edu:389/o=NetscapeRoot user id admin (151:Unknown error.) Fatal Slapd Did not add Directory Server information to Configuration Server. Configuring Administration Server... Setting up Administration Server Instance... ERROR: Administration Server configuration failed. See install.log. INFO Finished with setup, logfile is setup/setup.log

Many times this error is caused by improper DNS configuration.

First of all, I'm not sure why it's using "o=NetscapeRoot" - I've specified a different manager DN. Second, the setup/nsperl/install.log file is not informative:

Look at setup/setup.log, not the nsperl log.

You might want to reconfigure these parameters: ./reconfigure "myhostname=localhost" ./reconfigure "mydomain=.local.domain.com" ./reconfigure "perladmin=LOCAL.ADMIN@local.domain.com" ./reconfigure "cf_email=LOCAL.USER@local.domain.com" ./reconfigure "cf_by=LOCAL.USER"

nsPerl is installed in /opt/fedora-ds/lib/nsPerl5.6.1

However, I've found part of the problem: the file ./admin-serv/config/server.xml contain several variables instead of variable values. For example:

<VARS accesslog="$SERVER_ROOT/admin-serv/logs/access"/>

So it looks like the configuration program had a glitch. Is there a way to fix that on FC3?

Look at setup/setup.log to see if there are any clues. Otherwise, just make sure your DNS is working properly, then re-install.

Thanks, Simon
