Hi all
Im starting to take the plunge to learn LDAP.
Im reading the "OpenLDAP Software 2.3 Administrators Guide".
If someone could help, I would me most grateful.
Why do you have two different databases trying to store their data in the *same* directory? That's a sure suicide.

Yes, the manual will advise you to set up a database directory for each database. However, it should be somewhat obvious that you cannot use the same database directory for multiple databases. And of course, the manual pages are very clear on that, so it is not what they advised you at all.
From the slapd-bdb manual page:
directory _directory_ Specify the directory where the BDB files containing this data- base and associated indexes live. A separate directory must be specified for each database. The default is /usr/local/var/openldap-data.
See how it clearly states that a *separate* directory must be specified for each database.
