[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 at 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.
