Problem

A Forum reader recently asked:

"I keep getting the error message that no instances for the eDirectory Server are configured. What can I do to solve this problem?"

And here's the response from Novell's Akos Szechy ...

Solution

Do you have a "/etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf/.edir/instances.0" file? It should be created by the ndsmanage/ndsconfig process. However, basically this file contains a line corresponding to the conf. file for each of the instances, like this:

aszechy-linuxtest:/etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf/.edir # cat instances.0
/var/nds/CPL-ASZECHY-LINUXTREE/conf

You can re-create and use this file if necessary ...


Disclaimer: As with everything else at Cool Solutions, this content is definitely not supported by Novell (so don't even think of calling Support if you try something and it blows up).

It was contributed by a community member and is published "as is." It seems to have worked for at least one person, and might work for you. But please be sure to test, test, test before you do anything drastic with it.
