Yes I was asked many more questions: Fedora configuration directory server? [No]: Do you want to use another directory to store your data? [No]: Directory server network port [389]: Directory server identifier [lanldap2]: administrator ID [admin]: Suffix [dc=rus, dc=uni-stuttgart, dc=de]: Directory Manager DN [cn=Directory Manager]: Administration Domain [rus.uni-stuttgart.de]: Administration port [47328]: Run Administration Server as [root]: Apache Directory [/usr/sbin/]: I confirmed all defaults (besides the password, of course) and then I got: [slapd-lanldap2]: starting up server ... [slapd-lanldap2]: Attempting to obtain server status . . . [slapd-lanldap2]: Attempting to obtain server status . . . [slapd-lanldap2]: Attempting to obtain server status . . . [slapd-lanldap2]: Attempting to obtain server status . . . These other questions from above are not found in the log-file. > problems.
