Hi,
I was able to install and configure FDS 1.1 on CentOS 5, but in the
latest step of the configuration, the service doesn't start.
1) I saw the following messages in the last part of the installation:
Are you ready to set up your servers? [yes]:
Creating directory server . . .
Server failed to start !!! Please check errors log for problems
Could not start the directory server using command
'/usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1/start-slapd'. The last line from
the error log was '[28/Dec/2008:11:18:14 -0300] -
Fedora-Directory/1.1.3 B2008.269.157 starting up
'. Error: Unknown error 256
Error: Could not create directory server instance 'dirserver1'.
Exiting . . .
Log file is '/tmp/setupRikE7Y.log'
2 ) The error log just says the following:
[28/Dec/2008:12:41:07 -0300] - Fedora-Directory/1.1.3 B2008.269.157
starting up
3) The log file /tmp/setupRikE7Y.log says the following:
[08/12/28:11:13:10] - [Setup] Info Are you ready to set up your servers?
[08/12/28:11:13:16] - [Setup] Info yes

server using command '/usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1/start-slapd'.
The last line from the error log was '[28/Dec/2008:11:18:14 -0300] -

Well, I'm using the user 'nobody' and group 'nobody'.
4) When I try to run the command by hand as root, I get the same:
[root@dirserver1 slapd-dirserver1]# pwd
/usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1
[root@dirserver1 slapd-dirserver1]# ./start-slapd
Server failed to start !!! Please check errors log for problems
5) Running the command with sh -x, I got the line that it not starting
the command:
+ cd /usr/sbin
+ ./ns-slapd -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1 -i
/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.pid -w
/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.startpid
6) Running the last command by hand:
[root@dirserver1 sbin]# ./ns-slapd -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1 -i
/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.pid -w
/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.startpid
[root@dirserver1 sbin]#
[root@dirserver1 sbin]# ps -fea | grep slapd
root 6893 6729 0 12:55 pts/3 00:00:00 grep slapd
==> this is not starting.
7) Trying the same, but with trace level:
./ns-slapd -d 1 -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1 -i
/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.pid -w
/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.startpid

starting up
Failed to open stats file (/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.stats)
(error 1).
Then, the binary ns-slapd is not creating the file
/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dirserver1.stats (I think).
Yes. There is a bug in the spec
file - it does not create
/var/run/dirsrv, and it can mess up the permissions/ownership on that
directory.
After you install/yum upgrade fedora-ds-base and the other packages, but
before you run setup-ds-admin.pl, make sure /var/run/dirsrv exists and
has the correct permissions and ownership.
8) Some details of the binary and my kernel version:
[root@dirserver1 sbin]# file ns-slapd
ns-slapd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for
GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped
[root@dirserver1 sbin]#
[root@dirserver1 sbin]# uname -a
Linux dirserver1.cdsl.cl 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jun 10 18:49:47 EDT
2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Could it be related to the difference of the kernel version?
Thanks!
