[389-users] 389-console: tries to connect to localhost:389 instead of hostname:389

[Chandan Kumar]

Few things to check with your 389 setup.

1. Please ensure all hostnames are FQDN4. If you don't have DNS then create
hosts file entries for those hostnames.
2. The admin console uses the /etc/dirsrv/admin/conf* . -- Mostly you don't
have to touch this file if you have used the setup-ds script.
3. The hostname MUST be resolved from your remote host.

if you are running the 389-console -a http://ldap.server.net:9830

So here the ldap.server.net MUST be defined either in your DNS server or in
your host file.

Also check whether server is running on that port "netstat -plunt"
