Hai, Thanks for the reply. I tried to run the admin server after changing the JRE path in "start_JVM" file and admin configuration file.But i am still not able to run the admin server.I am getting the same error as i stated in my previous posting.That is the server is seems to be running but it is not actually. Is there any incompatability between FDS 7.1 and CentOS? Is anybody tested Fedora DS 7.1 on either CentOS 4.2 or CentOS 4.3? [I also attached <servroot>/admin-server/logs/error file in my previous posting] Pls help me resolve the problem. Regards, Hariharan R --------- Can any one pls guide me. http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/FAQ#Admin_Server_fails_to_start_on_MP_Linux_kernel_or_on_x86_64 Is there a reason you aren't using FDS 1.0.2? rob ------------- Thanks for your reply. As Jim summers said, i am running all the server instances as a same user(root).But still i am not able to run my admin server.When i try to run it it shows the following "server is ready to accept requests at 1800" suddenly the process get detatched.There is no process listening on port 1800. I looked into the "/opt/fedora-ds/start-admin" script.There they are running the following command "./uxwdog -d /opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv/config/ $@" I think this is the place the process get struck. My admin-server/log/error file has the following [19/Apr/2006:17:09:59] info ( 9431): successful server startup [19/Apr/2006:17:09:59] info ( 9431): Netscape-Enterprise/6.2 B04/18/2005 13:49 [19/Apr/2006:17:09:59] info ( 9431): Access Host filter is: *.cs.iitm.ernet.in [19/Apr/2006:17:09:59] info ( 9431): Access Address filter is: * [19/Apr/2006:17:09:59] info ( 9432): Installing a new configuration [19/Apr/2006:17:09:59] info ( 9432): [LS ls1] http://lilac.cs.iitm.ernet.in, port 1800 ready to accept requests [19/Apr/2006:17:09:59] info ( 9432): A new configuration was successfully installed Hai, I am trying to install Fedora DS 7.1 on CentOS4.2. At the End of the installation,the Admin server is not able to run. After starting the console i tried to login using admin ID but i am getting error like "URL not found or server not running" When I first started with FDS I hit this also. It seemed like the suggestion that worked for me was to have all of the servers (dir and admin) run as the same user. -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users redhat com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users --- Hariharan.R
