Fedora directory users - Jun 2005 - Admin Console fails to start

Hi,
 I installed the fedora-ds-7.1-2.RHEL4.i386.opt.rpm RPM, configured the 
server, and tried to start the administration console from the command line:
 
[root@vectra-4 fedora-ds]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant)
[root@vectra-4 fedora-ds]# uname -a
Linux vectra-4 2.6.9-5.EL #1 Wed Jan 5 19:22:18 EST 2005 i686 i686 i386 
GNU/Linux


[root@vectra-4 fedora-ds]# ./startconsole
sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `(''
sh: -c: line 0: `/opt/fedora-ds/bin/base/jre/bin/java -ms8m -mx64m  -cp 
.:./mcc70.jar:./mcc70_en.jar:./nmclf70.jar:./ldapjdk.jar:./jss3.jar:./base.jar:./nmclf70_en.jar
-Djava.library.path=/opt/fedora-ds/lib/jss  
-Djava.util.prefs.systemRoot=/opt/fedora-ds/java/.java 
-Djava.util.prefs.userRoot=/opt/fedora-ds/java 
com.netscape.management.client.console.Console -A 
http://vectra-4.(none):1500''

I didn''t find a bug in bugzilla, but I was also not able to use
bugzilla
to properly report this bug, since when I selected the Product Fedora 
Directory Server, the page did not update the version and component 
fields. Strangely enough, those fields are updated when searching for 
existing bugs, but not when trying to report.

BR,

Hi Mike,

It appears that you are getting this error because you don''t have a 
domain set on your box.  If you look at the end of the error output, it 
has your admin server URL as "http://vectra-4.(none):1500".  It
doesn''t
like the "(none)" that it is encountering.  You should set your 
domainname and see if that fixes your problem.

Hi,
 Yes, I noticed that after I wrote the mail. I fixed it, and now I get a 
slew of java errors. I was able to figure out how to use the bugzilla, 
and I reported this java problem there also:

What JVM are you using?  I''ll bet you''re using the one that
comes with
some Linux distro.  Right now the admin tools require the one of 
Sun-derived JVMs.

IBM. I guess the java runtime wasn''t in the path correctly, but I seem 
to have fixed it now. I don''t get anymore warnings when attempting to 
start the console, but I still can''t start it...

The next problem is that I can''t seem to get SSH X11 forwarding working
from this server. Now, I guess I have to install a pile of Xorg packages 
onto my headless server. I am wondering how the RPM prerequisites for 
this software will evolve, seeing these initial problems I am facing. 
Mind you, the slapd works just fine. I just wanted to test the admin 
console, for no other reason than curiosity, because it hasn''t ran on 
linux in a long time, but it seems that it requires some work from my end.

Please forgive me, I am a longtime Netscape DS user, but I have very 
rarely used the admin console, mainly due to it''s extreme slowness. And
when I have used it, I was used to the software coming with the java 
runtime already built-in.

I think you can close that bug due to PEBKAC.

Check the value of X11Forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

Note:

After installing all of the xorg-x11 RPMS and the 
java-1.4.2-ibm-1.4.2.1-1jpp_2rh.i386.rpm on RHEL4, as well as modifying 
the /etc/sshd_config to allow x11 forwarding, and restarting sshd, I now 
have the admin console running.

It seems that the console works just fine with the IBM JVM. I flipped 
through all of the tabs, and was able to see logs from the server, as 
well as other queried information. Do you know why it requires a SUN 
derived JVM, e.g. what was the problem? The only reason I have installed 
the IBM JVM is that it comes with RHEL extras CD, so I figure there is a 
better chance that it works out of the box with RHEL4...

Actually, FDS uses, and ships with, the IBM JRE on Linux.  Other 
platforms, such as Solaris, require the Sun JRE.

Oh, interesting.  So this must have been some other problem?

Also, in theory, you should be able to run the admin console on your 
local computer, and run the admin server and the directory server on the 
headless machine without installing all the X libraries.

OK, then there seems to be some sort of bug with the startconsole, 
because before I installed the IBM JVM RPM, it was spitting that long 
slew of java errors I sent earlier.

On my FC4test<mumble> workstation:

[root@mobile2 ~]# java -version
java version "1.4.2"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.0.0 20050525 (Red Hat 4.0.0-9)

That''s why I thought maybe it was a path problem.

That was then and this is now. CPU speed has caught up with Java/Swing
and the Console is really very snappy on recent hardware.
