[Fedora-directory-users] Could not register the directory server with the configuration directory server

[Nick P]

I am trying to install and configure my first FDS, and first LDAP
server.  I have spent many hours with little fruit so far.  Currently,
I am receiving an error at the end of the setup-ds-admin script:
[08/02/29:02:37:41] - [Setup] Fatal Could not register the directory
server with the configuration directory server.

The error is similar to what is described in this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431103.  However, my
configuration directory is _not_ on another host.  I answered 'no' to
the question of whether I would be registering with a current
configuration server.  I don't know if the solution presented there
would work - I am forwarding a port to the server, and do not have a
hostname.domain.org to use there.  I have had trouble adding entries,
so if I added them and it didn't fix the problem, I would not know if
the solution failed or if I failed to add the entries properly.   The
server is NAT'ed and receiving a forwarded port.  so I have been using
mydomain.org for the servername and identifying the port that gets
forwarded.

If you can help me make some sense of this, I would very much
appreciate it.  If the workaround in the bug above is the answer,
could you address my specific situation of not having a FQDN with a
host and everything - how will this effect the entries?  After failing
to add entries with success many times I have started to use a windows
client, Ldapadmin - could I use this, if the work around is the
solution?  Should the entries go in o=netscaperoot or dc=domain,dc=org
?

I am also including a portion of the log file that was created during
the installation.  Is there anything here that shows what the root of
the problem is?

Thanks,

Nick
