I came across the solution to this one
(lots of digging + a little bit of luck).
In the /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/local.conf
file, there was a ‘configuration.nsAdminAccessAddresses:’ entry,
but no entry labeled ‘nsAdminAccessHosts:’. After manually adding
that entry, the Administration server started up successfully and I was able to
continue with getting SSL working.
The root cause of this appears to be me
making too many changes at once, and possibly skipping a step or two in the
directions, which resulted in me shutting down the admin server without saving
some changes somewhere – that’s my current guess anyway, I’m
still pretty new to this.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Subject: [389-users] Cannot start
Admin server - host_ip_init():
Hello,
I have installed
389 Directory Server (v 1.2.2) and Admin Server (v1.1.8) on RHEL 5.4, and in
the process of getting SSL/TLS configured I have somehow gotten the
administration server into a state where it will not start. When I run the init
script it fails, and the /var/log/dirsrv/admin-serv/error file has the
following entry:
[Wed Dec 23
10:15:32 2009] [crit] host_ip_init(): PSET failure: Could not retrieve access
hosts attribute (past error = ) Configuration failed
Googling the
problem led me to http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:AdminServerLDAPMgmt
– which contains directions for modifying the nsAdminAccessAddresses and
nsAdminAccessHosts entries, which I did. The entries are currently as follows:
nsAdminAccessAddresses:
*
nsAdminAccessHosts:
Which from my
reading of the documentation suggests that access is unrestricted, but starting
the server still fails. Does anybody out there have a suggestion as to what it
is I have broken?
