[Fedora-directory-users] Requirements

[kenwood]

Sorry if these are really dumb questions but what software is required
before Fedora Directory can be installed?

Now, I know that Sun Java is needed. I've installed v 1.5.n and it tests
out ok.

Beyond Java, what else?

Do I need OpenLDAP or is that included with RPM?
Do I need Berkley SleepyCat or is that included?
Do I need OpenSSL or is it included?  What about a certificate?

I have completed the Setup and FDS provides the login box but then it
fails with an error complaining that it could not start the Admin
Service.

And, this is where I become overwhelmed by a lack of understanding.

I cannot find docs that explain how to start the service and/or what the
required fields are.
I think the service is named  'ns-slapd.

If someone could provide an example of how to start the service I would
really appreciate the help.

Depends how you're installing it and what you're installing it on.

On my machines, the only other software I have to install is Apache.  As
far as I know, Java isn't really a requirement for the server, unless
you plan to also run the admin client on it.

According to Fedora DS Installation Guide
http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Install_Guide

You need the following;
1. Apache 2, worker model. This binary is generally available on RHEL and
Fedora Core platforms as /usr/sbin/httpd.worker. It is provided via the
httpd package (e.g. up2date httpd or yum install httpd). HP provides a free
depot format download which includes the correct version of Apache. For
other operating systems, you will have to build it yourself. Especially for
Solaris - the binary available from sunfreeware.com is not the worker model.
Here are the build and installation instructions for building your own
Apache.

2. Java runtime. The JRE is required in order to use the Console. Either the
Sun or the IBM JRE version 1.4.2 or later is required. Unfortunately, the
console does not (yet) build and run with the open source GNU gcj/Classpath
java implementation, but we are working on it. We thought that gcc/gcj
4.1included with Fedora Core 5 would work, but it still has many
problems, so
your best bet is to use Sun or IBM JRE. For x86_64 platforms, there is a Sun
Java 1.5 for AMD64.

No. OpenLDAP is not required, and not included with the RPM.

It is included.

You do not need OpenSSL See

and http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:SSL

Err 151? This usually indicates a problem with your DNS or reverse DNS. 
Look in /opt/fedora-ds/setup for your setup log file.
