RE: [Fedora-directory-users] Startconsole Directory Server access causes traceback and hangs startconsole

[Kancianic, Jennifer C.]

OK - I turned on debugging for the startconsole with this command:
./startconsole -D 9 > /tmp/console.log 2>&1
Around when the traceback happens, the logfile indicated "Unable to read
<my_user_home>/.fedora-console/jars" directory.  
 
This directory did not exist in the user's home/.fedora-console directory.
I checked a working Fedora DS installation on another machine and saw that
there were two jar files that should be in that directory: ds10.jar and
ds10_en.jar
 
I created the jar directory by hand and put the two jarfiles in from the
installation directory, then everything worked.
 
It looks like there's a possible installation problem.
 
Thanks,
Jenny

Subject: [Fedora-directory-users] Startconsole Directory Server access
causes traceback and hangs s tartconsole



I've been working on this for a few hours and am now stumped as to what to
do next.  Any pointers would be great: 
I installed fedora-ds-1.0.2-1RHEL4.x86_64.opt.rpm on RedHat 2.6.9-34.Elsmp
on my Linux server, configured it to run as a non-root user, pointed the
ports appropriately and started it up as the non-root user.  I can login
using JXplorer fine (it's using ldap:\\ method of connecting).

I then want to initialize the database with an LDIF from another server, so
did a startconsole and logged in as the Directory Manager using the
<http://> http:// method of connection.  I am able to see the Administration
Server and Directory Server listed items, but when I click on the Directory
Server to open it, I get this traceback, which hangs the startconsole:

Exception in thread "<my_IP>" java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException 
        at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read(BufferedInputStream.java:306) 
        at
com.netscape.management.client.com.AsyncByteArrayInputStream.write(Unknown
Source) 
        at com.netscape.management.client.com.HttpChannel.invoke(Unknown
Source) 
        at com.netscape.management.client.com.HttpChannel.run(Unknown
Source) 
        at java.lang.thread.run(Thread.java:595) 
  

Some other info: 
------------------------- 
1. When I open the server to see the Administration Server and Directory
Server, the icons associated with them were not displayed (only white
boxes).

2. In the error.log for the admin-serv, I see this text: 
Admserv_host_ip_check: ap_get_remote_host could not resolve <my_IP> 
3. I saw reports about bug #183925 and configured the admin server as
nsAdminAccessAddresses=255.255.255.255 and nsAdminAccessHosts: *, but this
didn't help.  When I do an nslookup <myIP>, it shows the appropriate
hostname for all Ips involved, so reverse DNS seems to work.

4. When I use a web browser to browse to the Directory Server Gateway,
images are also not shown there. 
Any thoughts about what may be causing the traceback or how to fix it? 

Thanks, 
Jenny
