Here is a look at the logs as it happens ~ # tail -f /var/log/dirsrv/admin-serv/error [Wed Jun 07 09:19:27 2017] [error] Could not bind as []: ldap error -1: Can't contact LDAP server [Wed Jun 07 09:19:27 2017] [warn] Unable to bind as LocalAdmin to populate LocalAdmin tasks into cache. [Wed Jun 07 09:19:27 2017] [notice] Access Host filter is: (*.old.domain.com|*.domain.com) [Wed Jun 07 09:19:27 2017] [notice] Access Address filter is: * The /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/adm.conf shows that the ldapurl is still pointing at the old non-existent server. cat /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/adm.conf AdminDomain: old.domain.com sysuser: ldapuser isie: cn=389 Administration Server,cn=Server Group,cn=new-server-01.my.domain.com,ou=old.domain.com,o=NetscapeRoot SuiteSpotGroup: ldapuser sysgroup: ldapuser userdn: uid=admin,ou=Administrators,ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot ldapurl: ldap://my-old-server-01.old.domain.com:389/o=NetscapeRoot SuiteSpotUserID: ldapuser sie: cn=admin-serv-new-server-01,cn=389 Administration Server,cn=Server Group,cn=new-server-01.my.domain.com,ou=old.domain.com,o=NetscapeRoot As a side not, the "domain.com" is not changing but the "sub-domain" is changing. (old.domain.com vs. my.domain.com) I also thinking that there is no o=netscaperoot on this machine since it was originally registered to another (now non-existent) server. If I am not able to re-register is to a new server, can I at least get its own admin server running? I would like to have console access to these machines again. _______________________________________________ 389-users mailing list -- 389-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to 389-users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
