Fedora Directory Server 1.1.2 seems to have a broken setup-ds-admin.pl. Is anybody else getting the same error below? I have tried Express, Typical and Custom setup types and all of them give me this error. I have even rebuilt the server and started from scratch. The console gives me the following messages... "Creating directory server . . . Server failed to start !!! Please check errors log for problems Possible timeout starting server: timeout=1222110628 now=1222110629 Could not start the directory server using command ''/usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-basis/start-slapd''. The last line from the error log was ''[22/Sep/2008:12:00:29 -0700] - Fedora-Directory/1.1.2 B2008.248.1448 starting up ''. Error: Unknown error 256 Error: Could not create directory server instance ''instance_name''. Exiting . . ." The setup log shows the following... "[08/09/22:12:10:29] - [Setup] Info Could not start the directory server using command ''/usr/lib/dirs rv/slapd-basis/start-slapd''. The last line from the error log was ''[22/Sep/2008:12:00:29 -0700] - F edora-Directory/1.1.2 B2008.248.1448 starting up ''.

FYI, I followed the same procedure and setup answers with Fedora Directory Server 1.1.1 a few weeks ago and it worked. Help. Regards, Jerome

I changed it to "nobody" the default for FDS, and was able to install just fine. I found this bug which might be helpful. Bug 430368 - Running setup-ds.pl on Fedora 8 fails: Server failed to start !!! / Failed to open stats file Tom
