RE: [Fedora-directory-users] Configuration Directory Question

[James Deuchar]

Thanks for your patience - and apoloiges for that rookie typo error.Fixed that and retried
a few times but still to no avail - new instance is created and running ok but doesn't
show up in the admin console. Where does the admin server get this list of servers etc
from (and will that info help me!?).If I install an instance on server2 and point it
towards the config instance on server1 as part of the setup script then it does appear in
the console and all is well in my DS world...Seems only to cause problems when I'm
trying to create a new data instance (using ds_newinst.pl) on the server1 when the config
instance (created during install/setup) is already there. If there were an option to
create a new instance via the console and specify a separate configuration directory
it'd be easy...presumably!Is this the normal way to do this? Kind regards,James>
