This error message is telling you that Apache will not run as root. You must change your User in admin-serv/config/console.conf to a non-root user, preferably the same user as you run your directory server as (if that is also root, I strongly encourage you to use a non-root user).fedora core 6 - 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 fedora-ds-1.0.4-1.FC6 httpd-2.2.4-2.fc6I installed the directory server as a typical install with owner and group set to root.Directory server starts OK Admin server will not start.

If you're not very far along, I suggest starting over from scratch, and re-installing using a non-root user for both the Directory and Admin servers.
Changing the console.conf user and group to apache does not make any difference.Output of ls -l admin-serv/config: -rw------- 1 root root 337 Jun 24 13:17 adm.conf -rw------- 1 root root 39 Jun 24 13:17 admpw -rw------- 1 root root 4588 Jun 24 13:17 admserv.conf -rw------- 1 root root 1324 Jun 24 13:17 admserv.conf.rej -rw------- 1 root root 3726 Jun 24 15:54 console.conf -rw------- 1 root root 30468 Jun 24 15:38 httpd.conf -rw------- 1 root root 2048 Jun 24 13:17 httpd.conf.rej -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19707 Jun 24 13:17 local.conf -rw------- 1 root root 4573 Jun 24 13:17 nss.confI have installed on two separate servers with latest fc6 and have the same problem on both boxes.I would appreciate any ideas from list members as to how to resolve this problem.-- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users
