Hi,
I am totally new to openldap. I have an openldap 2.2.20 running on
solaris 8. I needed to install and migrate it to linux. I have
suuceesfully comiled and installed openldap 2.2.20 on redhat linux.
Now I am unable to understand what do I have to do inorder to migrate
all the data. I have already copied the schema files and edited the
slapd.conf file according to what it was on the solaris machine. I
have a vague idea that I will have to migrate the db files some how,
may be using ldiff...On my solaris machine I do have the data folder
which contains all the db files, should I just copy those in the
openldap-data folder on linux machine? If any one can please point me
into right direction...
thanks and regards

Rule of thumb, consider migrating platforms (i.e. your Solaris to Linux
case) the same as an OpenLDAP upgrade, even if it's 2.2.20 -> 2.2.20. As
such,
http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/842.html
applies, as do many of the tips in the FAQ-O-Matic upgrade area.
With that said, running 2.2.20 on your new installation is a pretty awful
idea. There are known security holes. If you're going to be messing around
with your OpenLDAP installation anyway, you should run an upgrade to the
latest 2.3 release at the same time.

OpenLDAP-2.2.20 is rather old, you should consider to update to the
latest version.
To migrate just slapcat(8) the old database and slapadd(8) to the new
system.

Hello,
As most people already replied about 2.2.20, you should upgrade to
2.3.x at least, which is much better also in terms of performances and
replication (something which has been critical for me in OpenLDAP).
Out of curiosity, which version of redhat are you actually using ?

Hi,
Thankyou so much for all the prompt replies from everyone. I really
appreicate it. Well my boss is a bit concerned about the ugradation though,
and I don;t think I can do anything about it in near future. I will try all
what you have told me.
It is Red Hat Linux 8.0 .... Any issue which I should be knowing?:)

Where are you getting all these ancient versions from? 2.2.20 from
source? RH 8.0? You really need the latest stable, supported software
versions.
Any reason for these old versions?

Make sure you stop slapd before you run slapcat on you
directory. Also, slapd should not be running when you do a slapadd. I had
to learn the hard way.
