I am trying to install and configure my first FDS, and first LDAP server. I have spent many hours with little fruit so far. Currently, I am receiving an error at the end of the setup-ds-admin script: [08/02/29:02:37:41] - [Setup] Fatal Could not register the directory server with the configuration directory server. The error is similar to what is described in this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431103. However, my configuration directory is _not_ on another host. I answered 'no' to the question of whether I would be registering with a current configuration server. I don't know if the solution presented there would work - I am forwarding a port to the server, and do not have a hostname.domain.org to use there. I have had trouble adding entries, so if I added them and it didn't fix the problem, I would not know if the solution failed or if I failed to add the entries properly. The server is NAT'ed and receiving a forwarded port. so I have been using mydomain.org for the servername and identifying the port that gets forwarded. If you can help me make some sense of this, I would very much appreciate it. If the workaround in the bug above is the answer, could you address my specific situation of not having a FQDN with a host and everything - how will this effect the entries? After failing to add entries with success many times I have started to use a windows client, Ldapadmin - could I use this, if the work around is the solution? Should the entries go in o=netscaperoot or dc=domain,dc=org ? I am also including a portion of the log file that was created during the installation. Is there anything here that shows what the root of the problem is?
