Fedora directory users - Jul 2008 - Re: Can't start Fedora DS server or connect to Admin Console

Thank you, Wolf!

After pulling a listing of all files inside the tar of a previous 
days backup that was good/working - I was able to recreate the unique 
permissions (not root) for directories and files that your ldap user 
has to own. This is for Fedora DS 1.0.4.   And the server and console 
now start.

I''m listing them in case others get stumped on why neither the Fedora 
DS server nor the Admin Console will start and the logs don''t give
enough clues

Your defined ldap user and group of same name have to own:

/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-mail/  (just the directory level)
/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-mail/config
/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-mail/db/
/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-mail/locks/
/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-mail/confbak/
/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-mail/ldif/
/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-mail/logs/
/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-mail/bak
/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-mail/dsml/
/opt/fedora-ds/alias/
/opt/fedora-ds/bin/slapd/authck/
