Check your /etc/host file and make sure that it says the correct ip address and hostname Per --- Original message follows --- *Subject: *[389-users] Changed hostname of machine. FDS Admin Server FAILS to start: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name *From: *"David (Dave) Donnan" <david.donnan(a)thalesgroup.com&gt; *To: *&quot;Fedora-directory-users(a)redhat.com&quot; <Fedora-directory-users(a)redhat.com&gt; *Date: *15-05-2009 13:06 Hello everybody and thanks for the continued support. It's incredible. I thought I'd be clever and installed my FDS on a machine with a hostname of localhost.localdomain When I rename it to it's proper hostname, a.b.c, the admin server FAILS when I start it: ./dirsrv-admin start Starting dirsrv-admin: httpd.worker: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for a.b.c httpd.worker: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName [FAILED] Honestly, I've tried everything I can think of, for example: - hacking /etc/init.d/dirsrv-admin - hacking /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/httpd.conf specifically the variable: ServerName a.b.c:390 - hacking /usr/sbin/start-ds-admin ... Q1. Can anyone recommend a solution ? Thanks, Dave -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users
