[389-users] Cannot start Admin server - host_ip_init(): - SOLVED

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I came across the solution to this one (lots of digging + a little bit
of luck).

 

In the /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/local.conf file, there was a
'configuration.nsAdminAccessAddresses:' entry, but no entry labeled
'nsAdminAccessHosts:'. After manually adding that entry, the
Administration server started up successfully and I was able to continue
with getting SSL working.

 

The root cause of this appears to be me making too many changes at once,
and possibly skipping a step or two in the directions, which resulted in
me shutting down the admin server without saving some changes somewhere
- that's my current guess anyway, I'm still pretty new to this.

 

Thanks for the suggestion.

You may also want to check some directory and file permissions for
/etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/adm.conf

Sorry to reply to my own message, but I have come across some

Server Group

  389 Administration Server

    admin-serv-us1lxas111(this is the hostname)

      configuration

 

make no changes, and just click on the OK button at the bottom, I get an
error message that says "Unknown error with naming attribute"

Hello,

 

I have installed 389 Directory Server (v 1.2.2) and Admin Server
(v1.1.8) on RHEL 5.4, and in the process of getting SSL/TLS configured I
have somehow gotten the administration server into a state where it will
not start. When I run the init script it fails, and the
/var/log/dirsrv/admin-serv/error file has the following entry:

 

[Wed Dec 23 10:15:32 2009] [crit] host_ip_init(): PSET failure: Could
not retrieve access hosts attribute (past error = ) Configuration failed

 

Googling the problem led me to
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:AdminServerLDAPMgmt -
which contains directions for modifying the nsAdminAccessAddresses and
nsAdminAccessHosts entries, which I did. The entries are currently as
follows:

 

nsAdminAccessAddresses: *

nsAdminAccessHosts: 

 

Which from my reading of the documentation suggests that access is
unrestricted, but starting the server still fails. Does anybody out
there have a suggestion as to what it is I have broken?
