[Fedora-directory-devel] Installing FDS

[Joe Baker]

Is there a good howto for installing Fedora Directory Server (FDS) on a
Fedora Core 5 system.

I've heard many good things about FDS.  I'd like to begin migrating from
our old Mandriva 9.1 system running OpenLDAP to FDS.

I've been surprised that FDS hasn't shown up over on Gentoo as an ebuild
script.

I tried but failed to install FDS on CentOS 4.

I'm looking for an easy way to try FDS but my past installation attempts
have left me thinking it is a difficult thing to get right.

We don't (yet) have RPMs for Fedora Core 5, but you can build it using 
the One Step Build method easily.  
http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Building#One-Step_Build

You won't be able to install RPMs for Fedora Core 4 on FC5 because FC5 
uses Apache 2.2.

What problems did you have?  I think CentOS 4 is roughly the same as 
RHEL4 - did you try to install the FDS RHEL4/FC3 rpm?

It may be something simple like hostname/DNS configuration.

Yes.  It's hard to guess what it might be, but I assume you have first read

sure
I had problems too, but after installing sun java from rpm (java.sun.com) (JRE 
5.0 update 6 rpm)

and exporting JAVA_HOME variable, I had no problems.
