This section describes procedures to help you debug problems installing Directory Proxy Server. It includes the following:
Installation may fail if the password contains a dollar sign ($) character, such as pa$$word. For example, you might get the following error message:
[4] stderr > Can't read "word" no such variable |
When the installer parses the password it interprets the text after the dollar sign, $word, as a variable, and this variable does not exist.
Change the password to not include the dollar sign character.
If Directory Proxy Server 5.2 fails to start on Windows, check the following:
Check that no keys remain in the registry, such as dps, sunOne, idar, dar and iplanet.
Remove the product registry file located in the C:\WINNT\System32 directory.
Reboot your machine.
Try to reinstall Directory Proxy Server
You may also need to manually remove the Localmachine->system->controlset001->services->admin52 entry. This entry may be causing your problem if you receive the following error in the Admin server install log:
Error: Writing Administration Server service keys to the Windows registry... failed. |
