Fedora directory users - Feb 2009 - Directory Server Problems

Finally got directory server to install by setting permissions on /var/ 
run/dirsrv to the fedora-ds user I created. Now my problem is when I  
run setup-ds-admin.pl it stops with:
[Setup] Fatal Error: failed to open an LDAP connection to host  
''fds.local'' port ''389'' as user
''cn=Directory Manager''. Error: unknown.
[Setup] Fatal Failed to create the configuration directory server
[Setup] Fatal Exiting . . .

I have been trying to get this dir server running for a week without  
any luck. I am setting up the box for my office to use instead of  
windows 2008 with Active Directory as I don''t like m$ very much.

Thanks!

For one thing, you cannot run setup-ds-admin.pl again unless you first 
do some clean up:
service dirsrv stop
service dirsrv-admin stop
rm /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/adm.conf /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/local.conf 
/etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/admpw
rm -rf /var/log/dirsrv/admin-serv/*
rm -rf `find /etc/dirsrv /usr/lib/dirsrv /usr/lib64/dirsrv /var -name 
slapd-yourinstancename\*`

Note - replace yourinstancename with your actual instance name - also 
run the find command by itself to make sure it actually finds what it is 
supposed to find (or you may nuke your file system)

Then, when you are ready to run setup-ds-admin.pl again, use -ddd to 
enable verbose output.
