Hi, I was able to install and configure FDS 1.1 on CentOS 5, but in the latest step of the configuration, the service doesn't start. 1) I saw the following messages in the last part of the installation: Are you ready to set up your servers? [yes]: Creating directory server . . . Server failed to start !!! Please check errors log for problems Could not start the directory server using command '/usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1/start-slapd'. The last line from the error log was '[28/Dec/2008:11:18:14 -0300] - Fedora-Directory/1.1.3 B2008.269.157 starting up '. Error: Unknown error 256 Error: Could not create directory server instance 'dirserver1'. Exiting . . . Log file is '/tmp/setupRikE7Y.log' 2 ) The error log just says the following: [28/Dec/2008:12:41:07 -0300] - Fedora-Directory/1.1.3 B2008.269.157 starting up 3) The log file /tmp/setupRikE7Y.log says the following: [08/12/28:11:13:10] - [Setup] Info Are you ready to set up your servers?

Well, I'm using the user 'nobody' and group 'nobody'. 4) When I try to run the command by hand as root, I get the same: [root at dirserver1 slapd-dirserver1]# pwd /usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1 [root at dirserver1 slapd-dirserver1]# ./start-slapd Server failed to start !!! Please check errors log for problems 5) Running the command with sh -x, I got the line that it not starting the command: + cd /usr/sbin + ./ns-slapd -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1 -i /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.pid -w /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.startpid 6) Running the last command by hand: [root at dirserver1 sbin]# ./ns-slapd -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1 -i /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.pid -w /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.startpid [root at dirserver1 sbin]# [root at dirserver1 sbin]# ps -fea | grep slapd root 6893 6729 0 12:55 pts/3 00:00:00 grep slapd ==> this is not starting. 7) Trying the same, but with trace level: ./ns-slapd -d 1 -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1 -i /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.pid -w /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.startpid [28/Dec/2008:12:58:18 -0300] - <= send_ldap_result [28/Dec/2008:12:58:18 -0300] - Fedora-Directory/1.1.3 B2008.269.157 starting up Failed to open stats file (/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.stats) (error 1). Then, the binary ns-slapd is not creating the file /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.stats (I think). 8) Some details of the binary and my kernel version: [root at dirserver1 sbin]# file ns-slapd ns-slapd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped [root at dirserver1 sbin]# [root at dirserver1 sbin]# uname -a Linux dirserver1.cdsl.cl 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jun 10 18:49:47 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Could it be related to the difference of the kernel version?
