I am new to LDAP, and am trying to get OpenLDAP installed on a computer running SUSE 11.0. (Actually, I did this on two similarly configured machines with the same result.) Everything goes smoothly up until the "make test" step, which produces:
>>>>> Starting test000-rootdse ... running defines.sh Starting slapd on TCP/IP port 9011... Using ldapsearch to retrieve the root DSE... Waiting 5 seconds for slapd to start... [omitting repeats] ./scripts/test000-rootdse: line 66: kill: (4683) - No such process ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1) >>>>> Test failed >>>>> ./scripts/test000-rootdse failed (exit 255) make[2]: *** [bdb-yes] Error 255 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/pkg/openldap/openldap-2.4.11/tests' make[1]: *** [test] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/pkg/openldap/openldap-2.4.11/tests' make: *** [test] Error 2
The file slapd1.l.log in tests/testrun ends with the following:
>>> dnNormalize: <cn=Write> <<< dnNormalize: <cn=write> slapd starting daemon: listen(ldap://localhost:9011/, 5) failed errno=98 (Address already in use) slapd shutdown: initiated ====> bdb_cache_release_all slapd destroy: freeing system resources. slapd stopped.
I found another thread on this list that suggested slapd might already be running, but in my case a check of processes found nothing including "slapd" or "ldap". I also found threads suggesting that this kind of error can be caused by IPv6, so I repeated everything with the option --enable-ipv6=no with the same result. I also tried adding the line ALL: ALL : ALLOW in hosts.allow, which didn't help either.
Suggestions? Thanks.
