Sorry to reply to my own message, but I have come across some information which might narrow down the search.
>From the Directory Server Console GUI, if I open up (by double-clicking): Server Group 389 Administration Server admin-serv-us1lxas111(this is the hostname) configuration make no changes, and just click on the OK button at the bottom, I get an error message that says "Unknown error with naming attribute" ________________________________ From: fedora-directory-users-boun...@redhat.com [mailto:fedora-directory-users-boun...@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Fairchild, Anthony Sent: Wednesday, December 23, 2009 10:43 AM To: fedora-directory-users@redhat.com 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? -- Anthony
