Starting and Stopping the Server from the Command-Line
Use one of the following scripts:
serverRoot/slapd-serverID/start-slapd
or
serverRoot/slapd-serverID/stop-slapd
where serverID is the identifier you specified for the server when you installed it.
Both of these scripts must run with the same UID and GID as the Directory Server. For example, if the Directory Server runs as nobody, you must run the start-slapd and stop-slapd utilities as nobody. (From the Administrator’s Guide)
If you forget what your admin server port number is, look in /opt/fedora-ds/admin-serv/config/adm.conf
Start the admin console with:
/opt/fedora-ds/startconsole -x nologo -u admin -a http://hostname.domainname.com:portnumber
