Thanks that was really useful. I ended up as follows: installed package - rpm -Uvh fedora-ds-1.0.4-1.FC6.i386.opt.rpm ignore instruction to run setup as I'm going to copy across all the config data copy over my initscripts recovered /opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv from old server recovered /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-directory recovered /opt/fedora-ds/shared/config/*.conf recovered start-admin, stop-admin, restart-admin scripts to /opt/fedora-ds removed /opt/fedora-ds/clients/dsgw/config/dsgw.tmpl removed /opt/fedora-ds/clients/dsgw/pbconfig/pb.tmpl removed /opt/fedora-ds/clients/orgchart/config.tmpl recovered /opt/fedora-ds/clients/orgchart/config.txt recovered /opt/fedora-ds/clients/dsgw/context directory of conf files recovered /opt/fedora-ds/alias files except for libnssckbi.so used restorecon on all these files - they were copied with -a so owner and perms are right, but security contexts were possibly a bit odd modify /opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv/config/httpd.conf - CentOS5 has apache 2.2 which has slightly different modules- 2 existing modules need commenting out and 5 new ones need to be loaded: # LoadModule access_module /etc/httpd/modules/mod_access.so # LoadModule auth_module /etc/httpd/modules/mod_auth.so LoadModule authn_file_module /etc/httpd/modules/mod_authn_file.so LoadModule authz_host_module /etc/httpd/modules/mod_authz_host.so LoadModule authz_user_module /etc/httpd/modules/mod_authz_user.so LoadModule authz_owner_module /etc/httpd/modules/mod_authz_owner.so LoadModule authz_groupfile_module /etc/httpd/modules/mod_authz_groupfile.so I also had to switch selinux into permissive mode, start and stop the services and then build and load an selinux module before going back to enforcing. -- Cheers, Tony -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users
