Installation of iPlane 5.1 SP1 Directory Server

I am trying to install iPlanet 5.1 SP1 on Windows 2000 Server SP4. The installation goes fine until the end, when it comes up with error messages regarding the admin server. the service does not start after the installation and does not produce any specific error message either. Any ideas what can be the reason?

Not sure, but as mentioned in the DS 5.1 SP 1 release notes ( http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6691-10/relnotes_ds51sp1.html#23830 ), that version supports W2K Server SP 2, not SP 4.
So it's possible something has changed with SP 4 that was not accounted for when DS 5.1 SP 1 was tested.

How to migrate Sun One directory server to a new physical server install

Thanks a bunch in advance

Hi,
I'm glad you're still using the old, glorious Sun One Directory Server 5.2, because it brings me back a lot of memories... But are you seriously talking of the 'plain' version, with no patches/hot fixes on top? If that's the case, you're using of a software that has been developed in 2004 and released in Jan 2005! Just for you to be aware, in the last *8* (eight) years a considerable number (in the magnitude of 10^3) of bugs, security problems and performance issues has been identified and fixed...
However, to provide a better answer to your question, it would be important to understand the 'big picture' in terms of scenario and requirements:
1) Is this a critical 24x7 service for which you need to perform an on-line migration or you have a 'maintenance window' during which the service may be switched off?
2) Is the old server member of replication environment? If yes, how many masters/slaves do you have already? Shall the new server be part of this topology? What role shall it have?
3) Would it be possible to make the the old server able to communicate with the new server?
4) How big is the database that you've got to migrate? Do you have any requirement in terms of caches?
5) Do you take backups on a regularly basis and have in place working (*tested*) backup/restore procedures?
6) Is the new server conserving or changing the O.S. and architecture? [SPARC->SPARC, x86->x86, SPARC->x86, Solaris -> ? , 32 .vs. 64-bit? ]
7) What are the steps you did to 'install' the software on the new server?
Thanks,
Marco
P.S.: I don't wanna sound 'scaring' with all these questions, neither this should be intended as an 'hidden advertising' for Oracle Professional/Consulting Services, but the only way to not put in jeopardy your data is being aware of the risks, having the control of what's going on and ... possibly have a 'B' plan ;-)
P.S.S.: My last suggestion is to consider a migration to a later release AS SOON AS POSSIBLE; the latest is ODSEE 11.1.1.7, which is available here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/oid-11g-161194.html
and seems to work pretty well ;-)

Installation Error with iPlanet Directory Server 5.1 SP1 and Windows 2000

Hello,
I'm having real trouble getting iPlanet Directory Server installed on a Windows 200 Server machine. Every time I install it, no matter what options I choose, I get this series of popup boxes at the end:
- Setup is unable to store configuration data in the LDAP directory
- Unable to create Administration Server configuration
- Could not authenticate ldap connection, "Unknown error"
- Unable to set ACI in Configuration Directory Server
But searching on this forum, I have found a lot of post. I have tested the different solution proposed :
* Add on the host file the short name and the long name of my machine with it's IP adress
* When the installation process crash, uninstall the software, reboot the machine and then restart the installation
With all this solution, the problem is always here.
Could you help me ?

Are you using Terminal Services. iPlanet DS will not install properly over Terminal Services. You have to install from the direct attached console.

You are correct. Dir 5.2 is not certified for AIX 5.2. It does install though. Like a previous reponse stated. Check the permissions for the user you are installing with and the file system you are installing to. Make certain you have enough disk space. My install took 150 MB of disk space. Finally, Dir 5.2 creates the file "/var/adm/sw/productregistry" during install. If you do not have permissions to /var/adm/sw, you may have troubles.

Installation/Config Problem with Sun Directory Server Control Center (6.0)

Hi All,
I have recently attempted an installation of Sun Directory Server EE 6.0 on a x86 Solaris 10 machine.
I have selected to install Core Directory Server and Sun Directory Server Control Center with my installation.
After installation, if I check the status of the SUNDSCC, I receive the following message:
bash-3.00# ./dsccsetup status
DSCC Application is not installed
DSCC Agent is registered in Cacao
DSCC Registry has been created
Path of DSCC registry is /var/opt/SUNWdsee/dscc6/dcc/ads
Port of DSCC registry is 3998
I have also tried to re-start the Sun Java Web Console using the /usr/sbin/smcwebserver start command but that does not do anything.
If i try to initialize the SUNDSCC usin the ./dsccsetup initialize command, the registry got created, but it still displays as "application not installed".
I do not understand. I have already installed this application using the JES installer.
please help!
Regards,
Saahil Goel

I had a similar issue. Here is how I fixed it.
Run dsccsetup status with the -v option. it will show you where it is trying to find the DSCC Application. Then do a find on your system to see where it is actually installed. Then simply copy it over to where dsccsetup is looking for it. Then do dsccsetup initialize. Below is what it looked like on my system when I did it:
# ./dsccsetup status -v
## /usr/sbin/smreg is present
## /usr/sbin/smcwebserver is present
## /opt/server/sun/dscc6/dccapp is MISSING

Installation of Sun Directory Server on Home PC - Domain name problem

Hi!
I would like to install SunONE directory server on my home PC but, I am unable to do so because one of the installation steps requires the fully qualified machine name. This is of format <hostname>.<domainname>. My home PC doesnot belong to any domain. Is there any solution to this problem? Is there a default domain name that I can use?
Thanks in advance!

Sun Java Directory Server Linux RHEL 5 Installation

Hello,
As Linux RHEL ES/AS 5 is not officially listed in the operating system requirements.
Has somebody been succesful in the installation ?
- With which Linux RHEL 5 update.
- Are the package depencies the same (compat-C/C++ libraries)
- Which Edition of Sun Java Directory Server (5.2Q6, 6.0, 6.3) and which packages (Native/ZIP)
Tips would be useful as I have been successful in Linux RHEL 4 update 4 with Sun Java Directory Server 5.x
in the past but customer requirements have changed and I did not find any Information and do not have testing Time.
Thanks,
Fab

Sun ONE Directory Server 5.1 SP1 crash

A bug not present in the 5.1 without SP, only in SP1.
Scenario:
- Solaris 8 or Solaris 9.
- Sun ONE Directory Server 5.1 SP1.
- Changelog enabled with maximun age of 1 day.
- Retro Changelog Plugin active (needed for the metadirectory access of cn=changelog).
The LDAP crashes when:
- You search for a changeNumber <= in cn=changelog and that search does not return any entry.
Something like this will crash de LDAP server:
ldapsearch -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w <passwd> -b cn=changelog "(changeNumber<=0)"
Does anyone have experienced this?
Any idea?

No. You can try it.
One with changeNumber, only with <= searches, only when the search does not return anything, and only when there has been, at least, a change in the database (that produced a changelog that it is not included in the search).
I can�t belive nobody has experienced that.
Do you think that all metadirectories use that kind of searches?. We use Critical Path.

Configuring Directory server control center after installation..

Hi,
We have already installed Sun Java Communication Suite 6.0 on a Sun solaris 10 machine along with Directory Server.
During installation , we have skipped the directory server control center component. How do we select the same after the installation?
Any addition inputs for configuration of Directory server control center will be helpful.
Thanx in advance....

Errors while installation "Failed to start Directory server instance"

hi
i was trying to install sun DS 6.3 in my system,everything is going good but while creating directory instance i get errors saying Unxpected error
"FAILED TO START DIRECTORY SERVER INSTANCE"
C:/DSEE/VAR/DSCC6/DCC/ADS
before that i start up dsccsetup/initialize

at the end it says
"Software installation is corrupted or incomplete"
i appreciate if someone can help me in this issue.

Enterprise Linux is designed for industry standard server hardware. It supports a limited and well known range of peripherals in order to provide commercial support and high reliability.
If you need Linux for any Laptop or Desktop PC, choose a Desktop Linux distribution, like Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, etc.
Your best option to run Enterprise Linux on non supported hardware is to use hardware virtualization like free Oracle Virtualbox. More information see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/developer-vm/index.html. IMO, there is no compelling reason to try to install Enterprise Linux using dual boot or relying on 3rd party driver software.

Directory Server INstallation on WinXP

Hi all,
I have tried to install DS5.2 on my win XP PRO machine and have different problems. From my search in this forum i have found conflicting information posted around...
I have found posts that say that DS5.2 cannot be installed or is not supported on Win Xp. Others say the opposite and claim to have it working just fine. i have read that JDK 1.5 has to be installed (which i have) and other details to keep this short.
I have two problems which i would appreciate if any of you could help me with.
1. I initially installed DS5.2 just for testing purposes and then had to uninstall manually. I have removed the installation folder as well as registry entries ( To the best of my knowledge). Since then i have tried to re-install DS5.2 but the installation hangs a few steps in to the installation with a message saying " Loading Components".
Again i did a search over the forum and i found that maybe some o the files might have stayed behind (after uninstall) or that other files have to be renamed???? Can someone that has dealt with this provide some guidance?
2. In order not to mess it up again could someone help me with the right procesure for installation of DS5.2 ( provided that the problem is solved and i dont have to re-install windows all together...)?
I appreciate your time and assistance in advance.
Thanks Evan

DS5.2 can be installed and working on WinXP latest SP, as well as Win2000 latest SP.
You are not alone, search this forum for keyword "windows", there are many other issues reported for DS5.2 Windows version installation or uninstallation.
I suspect somehow DS5.2 installation/uninstallation changes/updates certian Windows system DLL files in system32 directory, and these changes causes subsequent install/uninstall issues. A related discussion is at Reply 8 of 15 of:
http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=13&threadID=58600
I think we may achieve the effect of uninstallation, as a last resort, by:
1) Remove DS5.2 sw componet registry keys and windows service keys
2) Remove all temp files left by incomplete installation/uninstallation by looking at %TEMP% directory
3) Remove all files under DS5.2 ROOT directory
I have a feeling that if we observe some of these guidelines, we may (or may not have) have less troubles and frustrations.
0) Read the Release Notes, Installation Noes and/or Patch Notes, don't rush.
1) Do not install DS5.2 on a domain controller, or a member of any existing domain or workgroup, to reduce dependencies on network security services, do install it on a stand-alone server.
2) Apply SP4 to WIndows 2000 prior to DS5.2 installation, or latest SP to Windows XP.
3) Make sure the display supports 256 colors.
4) Make sure Administrator account is used
5) Make sure %TEMP% directory has enough disk space
7) The default DS5.2 install root directory may contain spaces, eg: c:\Program Files\..., change it to folder name WITHOUT spaces, eg: c:\Sun\DS52.
8) Use the undocumented ".\setup.exe -debug" command to see more debugging messages.
