Re: [Fedora-directory-users] Centos 4.1 - FDS Problems

[Vik P]

I've chowned the lock and server folder to the ldap user, and even tried as 
nobody and I still got the same warning. After changing several other 
permissions ./start-admin still doesn't remain running but when I run 
startconsole, while continually running start-admin (as su) I eventually got 
the following error dump:

[user@node fedora-ds]$ ./startconsole

Trying to run start-admin as non-root doesn't do anything at all, checking 
the log files reveals that they weren't even written to meaning the admin 
server didn't even attempt to start. I've checked all the permissions and I 
can't see any problems.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Fedora-directory-users] Centos 4.1 - FDS Problems

[Rich Megginson]

Try startconsole -D for debug mode.  Some preferences are written to a 
file in $HOME/.mcc - I can't remember the name.

Apologies for continually pestering you but I am really tearing my hair out

As you can see, the fun starts when the connection is reset, and this 
happens the same time start-admin randomly stops running. So I think the 
problem is with that element of the FDS. If it can run fine, then suddenly 
stop, without any error codes in any of the logs, etc, then it can only mean 
that there's a setting somewhere for the timeout, making adminserver just 
stop. Trouble is finding it...

[Fedora-directory-users] Centos 4.1 - FDS Problems

[Rich Megginson]

Those permissions problems are troubling.  I know the console is having 
problems writing to something.  Check your $HOME/.mcc directory.  The 
console needs to be able to create and write to files in that directory.

As for the admin server, I'm not sure.  But lets see if we can remove 
those console errors first.

[Fedora-directory-users] Centos 4.1 - FDS Problems

[Rob Crittenden]

He is also trying to start FDS on port 389 as a non-root user. That 
simply won't work.

It may be better to wipe this installation and start over from scratch 
(rather than having unknown and perhaps wide open permissions).

If you don't want to have to be root when starting this choose all ports 
>  1024 on the next install. To bind to port 389 you must be root when 
the server starts (but the server doesn't have to run as root).

As for admin server, it isn't suddenly exiting when you connect to it. 
It simply isn't starting up. We've traced this in the past to an 
interaction with the IBM JDK and SMP kernels. Try a uni-processor kernel 
as a test to see if this helps things.
