I'm getting this error when I put the address of the server and the port into a browser, I don't even get a login prompt; I just automatically get the error.

This is rather strange for several people to be getting this error. I can speak from experience of having no difficulties logging in after following the install steps in one of the above posts.

Unfortunately, this is not enough information for me to see what is going on. Could you post, or look though the logs for more information?

The FDS logs are at /opt/fedora-ds/slapd- is the node portion of your VM's hostname.

The Admin Server logs are at /opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv/logs.

In both cases the log files are name "access" and "error."

Excellent. I think that is the info needed. It looks like a failure to resolved the hostname of the client with a reverse lookup. Please check How to set the hosts/IP addresses allowed to access the Admin Server[/url] for a solution.

Thanks, that fix the problem.

I downloaded the torrent and unzipped it into the /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/ directory.

I then open the vmx file and start the virtual machine. All I get is a black screen. I can't click in the window and type to bring up the machine. I am a little lost. Am I missing something??

Also, how big is the HD for this VM?

Thanks

No, you are not missing anything, it just sounds wrong. It should boot up like any Linux box, you should see the messages scroll by, etc.

Can you check the md5sum of the package? It should be 1009520d55a9e732a58352b04f8f1ec4.

Also, how big is the HD for this VM?

60GB is the maximum size. Its uncompressed size as-is in the package is about 1.2GB.

Thanks

No problem!

[Shredder83]

Figured it out. The .vmx file was missing an execute flag. Added that and all worked as expected.

When you say 60GB, does that mean it can grow to that if needed, but only uses as much disk space as needed?

Thanks for the quick response.

if needed, but only uses as much disk space as

needed?

Yep, you've got it exactly right. If even more space is needed, VMWare Server or Workstation can add additional virtual harddrives as well. The info could then be copied to the larger drive, or perhaps extended via logical volume management.

Incidentally, the harddrive file tends to reflect a high watermark. That is, if one downloaded a 5GB file into the appliance, and then deleted it, the 5GB of space that the virtual disk file grew would not automatically shrink away. There is a shrink action in VMWare to do that as required though.

[wordup64]

Nice, thanks! Works perfect now!!!!

[kwanlowe]

Just got the VMWare image installed and got another FC5 instance authenticating against the fedora-ds. Still having some issues with automount maps.

Any chance of getting the 1.1 version in a VMWare image? :smileygrin:

Thanks a bunch for creating this image.

[chutchin]

First I would like to thank you for your time and efforts with this. We would like to use this to evaluate FDS. The problem I am having is that when I login I do not get any wizard to set this up. I went ahead and assigned an IP and put a record in DNS for the box. Is there a command I can run to start the wizard?

So how the heck does one download it if there are no torrent providers?

Hi,

After several difficult adventures with LDAP I'm trying the Fedora Dir Serv appliance.

Had some trouble I could overcome searching this forum topic.

I'v taken the initial snapshot, but needed to install Gnome and X and Java..

After that I can see things are starting to get working, but...

I'm not sure about the randomly chosen port anymore, searched throught the adm.conf and think I found it, but I cannot connect to the console.

How can I rerun the configuration setup without needing to install all the previous?

I tried touch /reconfigure but this doesn't seem to reset completely..

I have following error on reboot:

Start Slapd Starting Slapd server reconfiguration.

Info Slapd No old nsperl references found

Configuring Administration Server...

InstallInfo: Apache Directory "ApacheDir" is missing.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi,

We want to connect OPENFILER (exists also as a vmware appliance) to the Fedora Dir Server appliance.

We have Fed Dir Srv running, but we lack information to properly setup OPENFILER connexion. This is what we need to fill in:

Server: IP or host or FQDN

Base DN:

Authenticated bind DN:

Authenticated bind password:

Root bind DN:

Root bind password:

Until now I can connect to Fed Dir Srv with LDAPBrowser, the root and root pwd is okay, but what about the authenticated bind ....

Also:

I can only connect / configure Fed Dir Srv via the running X-server on the appliance and not remotely.

So basically how do I create an authenticated bind user?

Thanks for helping out and thanks for this appliance!!

Sounded great.. I downloaded, powered on, got a blank screen and "Your version of VMware Tools is out of date" message.. Useless.

[shark986]

Yep, you've got it exactly right. If even more space

is needed, VMWare Server or Workstation can add

additional virtual harddrives as well. The info

could then be copied to the larger drive, or perhaps

extended via logical volume management.

And if i need to export the vm on a phisical machine... Considered that i have a 13GB hd... In wich way i can export the appliance?

I searched tools to dump the hd but i don't know the lvm system...

I've just tried a lvreduce operation on the LogVolume00... Fortunately i've a copy of the working vm!!! 😄

Some ideas?

Thanks in advance!!

[aantonopoulos]

The torrent is not seeded. I got 99.98% and then I'm stuck. There are 11 seeds but not one of them has the complete file. Can you please re-seed the complete file? I will keep seeding afterwards so that it can propagate a bit better.

Right now this appliance cannot be downloaded!
