You need to add an entry for dc=nerdbot,dc=net. You are trying to add branches to a tree with no root.

Hello all,

I am getting this very annoying error when ever I try to add to lapd. I had the server running, and accepting connections, I was also able to add users...etc. My setup is simple, I am using LDAP to authenticate users for Horde. I made a mistake in the Horde config, and had to use ldapmodify to correct the issue. After some tinkering I made the mistake again, and had to run ldapmodify again. The next time I tried to add something I get ldap_add: No such object (32). I looked over my config and ldif files about 60 times, and even re-installed openldap. I have been searching Google all day for answers to this problem, but nothing has worked.

I am using Freebsd 6.1, with OpenLdap 2.3

and my ldif...

and the command I used to add it...

ldapadd -x -h localhost -D "cn=root,dc=nerdbot,dc=net" -f horde.ldif -W

I have tried many different combinations, adding the includes (as you can see in the .conf) and trying different things with ldif, but nothing will work. However, it worked earlier! I do not understand what might be the problem. Here is what the log file says...

and here is what the terminal says...

Enter LDAP Password: adding new entry "ou=DSA,dc=nerdbot,dc=net" ldap_add: No such object (32)

Does anyone know what is going on? Thanks in advance.
