[Fedora-directory-users] error logging in first time

[Bob Wooden]

I am new to Fedora Directory Server, but six or seven years linux
user.

I have built a Fedora Core 6, selected the "web server" option on build
and installed the FDS 1.0.4 version.  Located java and adjusted the
symbolic link.  Did my FDS setup/setup and set all the defaults.  When I
perform the ./startconsole command (within the fedora-ds directory, I
get the following error message:

Cannot connect to the Admin Server "http://******.***.***:43766"
The URL is not correct or the server is not running.

I have searched the mailing list archive and I am unable to locate any
reference to this error message.

What do I do now?

First, make sure both the DS and admin server are running:
ps -ef|grep ns-slapd
ps -ef|grep httpd.worker

If one or the other is not running, make sure you start the DS first, 
then the admin server.

Next, try connecting to the URL http://******.***.***:43766 using your 
web browser - does it work?

I would suggest looking at /opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv/logs to see if 
there are any errors.

These report that both are running.

No, neither the browser on the server nor a browser on the lan can
connect.  I can ping the ipaddress of the FDS server.  So, I tried the
ipaddress:43766 and browser reports "unable to connect . . . "

For fear of asking the complete obvious, have you checked your local  
firewall?

The default for Fedora is to block everything (assuming it's enabled).

cheers,

I am still testing and operating from the CLI.  So, I do not think it is
the firewall.

This morning, I discovered that I had two java loaded.  The version that
came with FC6 and the Sun version.  So, I removed the FC6 version.  Same
result, so I am still stuck.

netstat -an|grep 43766 - do you see a process listening to 43766?
telnet IPaddress 43766 - can you connect using telnet?

I suggest looking at /opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv/logs to see if there are 
any errors in the file "error" or "access".  Are there any?

I figured it out!  On re-installing, I answered the last setup question
with the user I wanted to run fedora-ds under (instead of accepting the
default, which I think was "administrator.")

If you could tell me the install log file to review, I could better tell
everyone what my setup mistake was?  I reran setup/setup and (now that
fedora-ds is running) I could not return to review all of the setup
questions.  Where is the install log file, please?

Look for logs under /opt/fedora-ds/setup

Thanks, I will check this out.  I have moved the server to work and look
at the logs there.
