You may also want to check some directory and file permissions for /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/adm.conf

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"

*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?
