"Server failed to start !!!" when installing FDS 1.1.3 in RHEL5.2

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

 



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@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@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@falls ~]# chmod 770 /var/run/dirsrv && chown nobody:nobody /var/ run/dirsrv
[root@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:

[08/11/14:09:00:33] - [Setup] Info Are you ready to set up your servers?

[08/11/14:09:00:36] - [Setup] Fatal Failed to create the configuration directory server
[08/11/14:09:00:36] - [Setup] Fatal Exiting . . .

Any thoughts? This is getting pretty frustrating :-\

Thanks,


Chris
