Hi Rob,

Just to let you know, I tried to again reproduce the installation. I did a 
clean install of Fedora 11 on a machine and updated it using yum. Then I tried 
to install FreeIPA on it. But strangely I had a harder time doing it.  It again 
outputs an error complaing about not being able to contact itself. 

here is the ipaserver-install log

TIA.

Ok, strange. On the replica server can you do something like:

% ldapsearch -x -h ipa.example.com -p 389 -b "dc=example,dc=com" uid=admin

That will confirm that the ports are available.

Can you provide the ipareplica-install.log?
