Hi Guys, I'm having problems upgrading from 1.2.5 Here's what I did: # yum upgrade 389-ds-base -runs fine # setup-ds-admin.pl -u -error encountered: The server 'ldap://myldapserver.com:389/o=NetscapeRoot' is not reachable.

I did a locate and only found it here: /usr/share/dirsrv/ script-templates/template-dn2rdn -So I got really confused and thought maybe I should do this: # setup-ds.pl -u -d = = = = = = ======================================================================== This program will update the 389 Directory Server. It is recommended that you have "root" privilege to perform the update. Tips for using this program: - Press "Enter" to choose the default and go to the next screen - Type "Control-B" or the word "back" then "Enter" to go back to the previous screen - Type "Control-C" to cancel the update Would you like to continue with update? [yes]: = = = = = = ======================================================================== The update process can work in one of two modes: - Online: The changes are made to the running directory servers using LDAP. The operations must be performed as an administrative user. You must provide the name and password, for each instance if there is more than one instance of directory server. Some operations may require a directory server restart to take effect. The update script will notify you if you need to restart the server. - Offline: The changes are made to the server configuration files. The servers MUST FIRST BE SHUTDOWN BY YOU. The script will not shutdown the servers for you. You MUST shutdown the servers in order to use this mode. A username and password are not required to use Offline mode. If the servers are not shutdown, CHANGES WILL BE LOST. To summarize: Online - servers remain running - you must provide admin name and password for each server - servers may need to be restarted Offline - servers must be shutdown - no username or password required Which update mode do you want to use?

I see on the http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Notes stating that there is no problem upgrading from 1.2.5..Am I doing something completely wrong here? Any help is much appreciated!
