Fedora directory users - Dec 2005 - Admin Console

Hello List,

New to the list here and just beginning to evaluate the fedora-directory 
server.  I have been running Sun''s iplanet DS5.1 for a couple of years 
now and would like to migrate away from that platform.

Installed Sun Java 1.5.0.4

I installed the 1.0.1 binary and then ran setup.

Then when attempting to start the admin console, the blue Fedora 
Directory Server / Please Login logo box is displayed.  But the next 
window where login info can be entered is never displayed.  It hangs 
until I go back a do a Ctrl-C.

Ideas or suggestions on what I may have overlooked?

TIA

I don''t remember the fix, but check the archive.  This was answered in
the
last few days.

Rich,
  Do you think that maybe the splash screen could be disabled by default 
(or just removed altogether) in a future release? That thing has 
bothered me for years, and a lot of folks seem to have problems with it 
as we have seen recently. I think that it can be categorized as a 
usability flaw.

BR,
Mike

I recommend trying Fedora DS 1.0.1 instead -

Hello.

We are running RHEL3 with update 6.  When we install FDS 7.1, the server 
installs and runs fine, but the Admin Console will not connect.   Below 
is the initial output after installation:

If I run start-admin the output is normal, "...ready to accept 
requests".  If I then run startconsole, I get the login panel, enter my 
information, and get back a message that either the server is not 
running or the URL is incorrect.  I''ve repeated the installation, 
verified URL, etc.

Any thoughts?

Thanks - Kieran

That did it!!

Thanks.
