If you can resolve the machine name via dns or local files, try this

I had the exact same problems and this took care of it

Subject: Re: [Fedora-directory-users] Can't login to console
I am running Apache 2.0.52
As far as verifying that my directory server is up and running:
ns-slapd is running under the dsuser account
httpd.worker is running under the dsuser account
I fear I need help with ldapsearch.
If I try the following as root:
ldapsearch -LLL "(cn=Directory Manager)"
I get:
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
If I try the following:
ldapsearch -LLL "(cn=Directory Manager)" -x -W
it prompts me for a password. I enter the administrator (dsadmin)
password and get:
ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
This may indicate something is wrong, ot simply that I am trying to use
ldapsearch incorrectly.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

What version of Apache are you running on the system?
I've run setup. I've created a user and group dsuser which is
set as
the server user. I set the admin to be dsadmin. I set the
admin
server to be run as root.
setup completes and appears to start correctly.
I use the following line to launch the console:
./startconsole -x nologo -u dsadmin -a
http://rheles4rs1.forayadams.foray.com:45303
In the login window I enter the dsadmin password. I then get
a panel
with the following message:
Cannot logon because of incorrect User ID,
incorrect password or Directory problem.
HttpException:
Response: HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required
Status: 401
URL:
http://rheles4rs1.forayadams.foray.com:45303/admin-serv/authenticate
I'm sure I've done something stupid and basic somewhere, but I
have no
idea what and I can't find anything about this via search.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I've done wrong?
Make sure that your directory server is up and running. You
should try
doing an ldapsearch as the same user you are attempting to log
into the
Console as. If all else fails, tail your DS access log when you
attempt
to log in via Console to see if the Directory is even getting
hit.
