If you can resolve the machine name via dns or local files, try this section of this wiki http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:AdminServerLDAPMgmt I had the exact same problems and this took care of it ________________________________ From: fedora-directory-users-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:fedora-directory-users-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Mont Rothstein Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 3:26 PM To: General discussion list for the Fedora Directory server project. Subject: Re: Can't login to console I am running Apache 2.0.52 As far as verifying that my directory server is up and running: ns-slapd is running under the dsuser account httpd.worker is running under the dsuser account I fear I need help with ldapsearch. If I try the following as root: ldapsearch -LLL "(cn=Directory Manager)" I get: ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server (-1) If I try the following: ldapsearch -LLL "(cn=Directory Manager)" -x -W it prompts me for a password. I enter the administrator (dsadmin) password and get: ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1) This may indicate something is wrong, ot simply that I am trying to use ldapsearch incorrectly. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. -Mont On 3/2/06, Nathan Kinder <nkinder at redhat.com> wrote: Mont Rothstein wrote: > I am trying to setup Fedora Directory Server 1.0.1 on an x86 box > running RedHat ES4 in a VMWare session.

Make sure that your directory server is up and running. You should try doing an ldapsearch as the same user you are attempting to log into the Console as. If all else fails, tail your DS access log when you attempt to log in via Console to see if the Directory is even getting hit. -NGK > > Thanks, > -Mont > >----------------------------------------------------------------------- - > >-- >Fedora-directory-users mailing list >Fedora-directory-users at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users <https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users> > > -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users at redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users www.preferredcare.org "An Outstanding Member Experience," Preferred Care HMO Plans -- J.
