Analyzing the Console Data

If you are using a 5.2 version of the Console, confirm that the correct jar files are being used.

Next, determine if a 5.1 installation of the Console existed previous to your installation of the 5.2 version. You can make this verification by running startconsole as follows:

# ./startconsole -D

If running this command does not work, use the following instead:

# /usr/sbin/directoryserver -u 5.2 startconsole

If running the command from the /usr/sbin/directoryserver directory works, then you hang is a result of a version compatibility issue. After you have installed the 5.2 version of Directory Server , run the following command to set the default version to 5.2.

/usr/sbin/directoryserver -d 5.2

Now you can use the various directoryserver commands with the 5.2 version of Directory Server.

You may need to confirm that the /etc/ds file contains the following settings as well:

5.1|//usr/iplanet/ds5/sbin/directoryserver|YES|YES
5.2|//usr/ds/v5.2/sbin/directoryserver|YES|NO
