Fedora directory users - Aug 2005 - Admin server setup issue on FC3

Hi,

After successfully running FDS on RH3, I''ve tried to install it on FC3.
I got this:

***
Your new directory server has been started.
Created new Directory Server
Start Slapd Starting Slapd server configuration.
Fatal Slapd ERROR: Ldap authentication failed for url 
ldap://fds1.cshl.edu:389/o=NetscapeRoot user id admin (151:Unknown error.)
Fatal Slapd Did not add Directory Server information to Configuration 
Server.
Configuring Administration Server...
Setting up Administration Server Instance...
ERROR: Administration Server configuration failed. See install.log.
INFO Finished with setup, logfile is setup/setup.log
***

First of all, I''m not sure why it''s using
"o=NetscapeRoot" - I''ve
specified a different manager DN. Second, the setup/nsperl/install.log 
file is not informative:

***
You might want to reconfigure these parameters:
./reconfigure "myhostname=localhost"
./reconfigure "mydomain=.local.domain.com"
./reconfigure "perladmin=LOCAL.ADMIN@local.domain.com"
./reconfigure "cf_email=LOCAL.USER@local.domain.com"
./reconfigure "cf_by=LOCAL.USER"

nsPerl is installed in /opt/fedora-ds/lib/nsPerl5.6.1
***

However, I''ve found part of the problem: the file 
./admin-serv/config/server.xml contain several variables instead of 
variable values. For example:

<VARS accesslog="$SERVER_ROOT/admin-serv/logs/access"/>

So it looks like the configuration program had a glitch. Is there a way 
to fix that on FC3?

Thanks,
Simon

Many times this error is caused by improper DNS configuration.

Look at setup/setup.log, not the nsperl log.

Look at setup/setup.log to see if there are any clues.  Otherwise, just 
make sure your DNS is working properly, then re-install.

Yes, this was a DNS problem. Thank you!
