Did you use "localhost" as the hostname during the installation? Rather than the FQDN. Did you try "startconsole -D"? The debugging mode, to gather more info. Did you add FQDN of ldap server as an alias to /etc/hosts? in case it is not resolved by DNS.

After figthing heavily with startconsole after my rpm installation on FC4, I finally found out, why the console did not want to start. I made sure, everything, what needs to be installed is so and I surely re-configured the whole thing more than 20 times :-) Webaccess to the admin port was well, ldap server responded but startconsole did not want to run - all the time this error with "unexpected token..." I made sure, during the setup I used a FQDN - no chance. But then: I simply called ./startconsole -a http://localhost:23711 ...and it works! I think there is still some bug around, which simply swallows the domainpart of the hostname, because it still showed http://mymachine.[none]:27311 when calling ./startconsole without the "-a" Maybe this helps other users to save some time and troubles ;-) Greetings Andy
