[Fedora-directory-users] New install with Admin Server issues

[Duncan McGreggor]

Hey all,

I'm having some troubles with the Admin Server (web). First, some  
details:

* This is my first experience with FDS
* I'm running Debian and followed the install instructions here:
   http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:DebianUbuntu
* I created/installed the debian package from fedora- 
ds-1.0.4-1.RHEL3.i386.opt.rpm
* I can run the java console application, login, create entries, etc.
* I'm a python coder, not a java one, so I have no idea about the  
java stuff.

Here are the issues I am seeing:
1) clicking on the "help" buttons on the java console results in a  
download dialog with the following message:
      The file "help" is of type application/octect-stream...
2) Clicking the "Restart" button (admin tasks) on the java console  
results in a 404
3) Attempting to visit the url http://myhost:62332/ results in a  
download dialog
4) If I download the file, open it and read it, it's a binary file.  
The file begins with the following:
      ELF


           
   ,Ü4   8      4

2        
   GNU                               
    And then later in the file, there is this:
      Error: %s

5) I saw the following rewrite rule in /opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv/ 
config/admserv.conf:
      RewriteRule ^/$ /dist/download [R,L,QSA]
    I commented it out, restarted the server, and now I get a 403  
(Forbidden) when I access http://myhost:62332/
6) I set the admin server's log level to debug, and I started seeing  
these messages:
[Sun Dec 31 03:00:57 2006] [debug] mod_admserv.c(1759): [client  
72.51.42.180] admserv_check_authz: uri [tasks/operation/StatusPing]  
did not begin with [commands/] - not a command
[Sun Dec 31 03:00:57 2006] [debug] mod_admserv.c(1808): [client  
72.51.42.180] admserv_check_authz: execute CGI [/opt/fedora-ds/bin/ 
admin/admin/bin/statusping] args [(null)]

That's all I can think of for now. Does anyone have any clue as to  
what could be going on? Is this a java app server dealie? I tried  
searching through the docs and the FDS pages for anything that might  
clue me in, and came up empty-handed...

Other than this, though, it looks like a killer LDAP server. Looking  
forward to getting this rolled out here, and providing folks with the  
web admin link to manage their info...

Thanks!
