I'm using RHEL5.2 (i386) and installing RPMs from the FDS repository
that's mentioned on the FDS wiki. But I'm having trouble configuring
FDS 1.1.3 due to errors that I believe are related to permissions on /
var/run/dirsrv.
Before installing DS, here are the permission on /var/run/dirsrv:
[root at falls ~]# ls -ald /var/run/dirsrv
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 14 09:24 /var/run/dirsrv
When finishing the end of setup-ds-admin.pl, I see these messages:
Are you ready to set up your servers? [yes]:
Creating directory server . . .
Server failed to start !!! Please check errors log for problems
Possible timeout starting server: timeout=1226673415 now=1226673416
Could not start the directory server using command '/usr/lib/dirsrv/
slapd-falls/start-slapd'. The last line from the error log was '[14/
Nov/2008:09:26:55 -0500] - Fedora-Directory/1.1.3 B2008.269.157
starting up
'. Error: Unknown error 256
Error: Could not create directory server instance 'falls'.
Exiting . . .
Log file is '/tmp/setupblsNWZ.log'
There is nothing else of relevance in either /tmp/setupblsNWZ.log or /
var/log/dirsrv/slapd-falls/errors
If I try and start the directory server after the installation failed,
I get this error:
[root at falls ~]# /etc/init.d/dirsrv start
Starting dirsrv:
falls... [FAILED]
*** Warning: 1 instance(s) failed to start
If I manually chmod & chown the /var/run/dirsrv directory, it will
start:
[root at falls ~]# chmod 770 /var/run/dirsrv && chown nobody:nobody /var/
run/dirsrv
[root at falls ~]# /etc/init.d/dirsrv start
Starting dirsrv:
falls... [ OK ]
However, because the setup-ds-admin.pl process never completed, the
admin server hasn't been configured (and I don't want to have to do
that by hand). Note that I am using nobody:nobody in the FDS installer
when asked who I want to run the services as.
When I manually ( chmod 770 /var/run/dirsrv && chown nobody:nobody /
var/run/dirsrv ) *before* I run setup-ds-admin.pl I get this error:

Any thoughts? This is getting pretty frustrating :-\
Thanks,
Chris
