Fedora directory users - Feb 2006 - problems after server rename

My boss forced me to rename the server hostname (I KNOW this is a stupid
idea, but ...) and now I have the following situation:

lanldap4:/opt/fedora-ds# ./start-admin
lanldap4:/opt/fedora-ds# tail admin-serv/logs/error
[Wed Feb 15 14:53:42 2006] [crit] mod_admserv_post_config(): unable to build
user/group LDAP server info: unable to set User/Group baseDN
Configuration Failed

The admin server is not running and I cannot connect with startconsole.

I suppose I have to change some configs (in
/opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv/config ?) but which ones?

This is most definitely not supported. I was able to change a server 
name only after first switching to a generic instance name. Still, it 
required modifications to 24 files in various places.

I suggest you rename the server back to it''s original name, start the 
directory, take an ldif export, completely remove the fds RPM and 
/opt/fedora-ds, rename the server, reinstall fds, and reload your ldif.

Yes, it is a PITA.
