Hi, Sorry for the spotty responses. I am not receiving all digests, but now I've found mail-archive web page and can now see all the responses. I have re-run the top level setup script (after rpm -e the DS, rm -fr /opt/fedora-ds , rpm -ivh, start over from scratch) and just the admin server startup script, multiple times each. In every case, it fails to set up anything. This is on a very new install of ES5, now updated to Update 1, 64 bit. FYI Running nslookup of short name, FQDN, and reverse lookup all work fine. The /etc/hosts file entries all agree with DNS. I would like some concrete debugging steps- a specific script to run in debug mode, for example. I guess I have been focusing on fixing the Admin setup gaps myself instead of fixing setup itself. I am Unix/Linux literate, so don't hold back. :-) -Ken. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
