OK, I figured this out. I had two problems. 1) The FQDN in my hosts file was wrong. After I fixed this I stopped seeing entries in admin-serv/logs/errors but it still wasn't working. 2) I edited my /etc/nsswitch.conf and put dns before files on the hosts line. Once I did that the console started up. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. -Mont On 3/3/06, Mont Rothstein <mont.rothstein at gmail.com> wrote: > > If I use the FQDN I get the following: > > ldap_simple_bind: Can't connect to the LDAP server - No route to host > > However, if I use the IP address, localhost or just the server name (not > the FQDN) it sits there for several minutes (5?) and then comes back with: > > ldap_simple_bind: Can't connect LDAP server > > It is totally possible that I have something hosed in DNS but I've run > every test I can think of and it seems to work. > > Any ideas? > > -Mont > > > > On 3/2/06, Richard Megginson <rmeggins at redhat.com > wrote: > > > > > > Try putting in your host and port explicitly e.g. > > ldapsearch -x -h yourhost -p yourport -s base -b "" "objectclass=*" > > > > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
