5. Next to the label “Primary DNS Suffix of this computer,” enter the
appropriate domain name.
The port is in use.
You probably did not shut down a server before you upgraded it. Shut down
the old server, then manually start the upgraded one.
Another installed server might be using the port. Make sure the port you have
chosen is not already being used by another server.
LDAP authentication error causes install to fail.
If you are installing Directory Server in a network which uses NIS naming
rather than DNS naming, you may get the following error:
ERROR: Ldap authentication failed for url
ldap://
incorrect.DNS.address user id admin (151:Unknown error.)
Fatal Slapd Did not add Directory Server information to
Configuration Server.
ERROR. Failure installing Netscape Directory Server. Do you want
to continue [n]?
This error occurs when a machine is not correctly configured to use DNS
naming. The default fully qualified host and domain name presented during
installation is not correct. If you accept the defaults, you receive the LDAP
authentication error.
To successfully install, you need to provide a fully qualified domain name that
consists of a local host name along with its domain name. A host name is the
logical name assigned to a computer. For example,
mycomputer is a host name
and
example.com is a fully qualified domain name.
A fully qualified domain name should be sufficient to determine a unique
Internet address for any host on the Internet. The same naming scheme is also
used for some hosts that are not on the Internet, but share the same namespace
for electronic mail addressing.
“Failure (4322): Configuration initialization failed” error message on Linux.
libjvm.so
(from JRE 1.4), which the Administration Server uses to run servlets
requires that the
compat-libstdc++-6.2 package (RPM) be installed when
running the server on Redhat 7.x and Advanced Server.
The RPM may or may not be installed depending on the options that were
chosen when the operating system was installed. If the RPM is not installed,
you will get an error similar to the one shown below.
