No dirsrv directories at all? There should be some - try rpm -V fedora-ds-base - if that has problems, try yum reinstall fedora-ds-base finally, try setup-ds-admin.pl -ddd to generate debug output - log file is in /tmpOn Nov 14, 2008, at 6:53 PM, Rich Megginson wrote:Christopher Waltham wrote:This looks like a different problem. This is what usually happens if you run setup again without having first cleaned up everything from the prior run. One problem with setup-ds-admin.pl is that you cannot simply run it again - it will detect the previous configuration (however broken it may be).Hi Prabhat, On Nov 14, 2008, at 2:16 PM, Prabhat Ranjan Pradhan wrote:Hi Chris and all,I too struggled for the same problem for almost 4 months. I googled several times to find any solution.At last I discovered a link Posted by Pieter de Rijk <http://blog.adslweb.net/serendipity/authors/1-Pieter-de-Rijk> . I must say thanks to this gentleman who did a splendid job to pinpoint the error.getting hint from this link what I did is: 1. disabled SELinux 2. created a user (and default group) fedora-ds 3. installed fedora-ds using yum. 4. changed the ownership of /var/run/dirsrv to fedora-ds # chwon -R fedora-ds:fedora-ds /var/run/dirsrv 5. started installation with setup-ds-admin.pl.6. entered fedora-ds as user and group name when prompted by the installer..7. Hurray!!! my installation was successfull.I had repeated this procedure several times on vmware virtual machines runing fedora9 and fedora8.Thanks for the note! I'm using VMware ESX so I'm taking snapshots to make troubleshooting easier.I didn't realize SELinux was still enabled, so I disabled it. Then I followed the rest of your instructions, but I still had problems:Are you ready to set up your servers? [yes]: Creating directory server . . .Your new DS instance 'ldap' was successfully created. Creating the configuration directory server . . .The suffix 'o=NetscapeRoot' already exists. Config entry DN 'cn="o=NetscapeRoot",cn=mapping tree,cn=config'.That's using fedora-ds as both user and group. Curiously, if I do a chmod/chown and set /var/run/dirsrv to to nobody:nobody (and then choose the "nobody" user in setup-ds-admin.pl), I get exactly the same problem...That's what I thought -- and can't understand. :) This is a fresh install of RHEL; I did a find / -name dirsrv and it came up with nada. Zero. Zilch! I'm not sure what else to look for?
