Hi,

 

I've been trying to run my newly built OpenLDAP 2.3 server on a RedHat Enterprise server. Since it's installed under the /usr/local directory, I modified the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ldap script.

 

When I tried to start it up the first time by running service ldap start, I received the following error messages:

 

Checking configuration files for slapd:  bdb_db_open: Warning - No DB_CONFIG file found in directory /usr/local/var/openldap-data: (2)
Expect poor performance for suffix dc=mydomain,dc=com.
bdb_db_open: db_open(/usr/local/var/openldap-data/id2entry.bdb) failed: No such file or directory (2)
bdb(dc=mydomain,dc=com): Unknown locker ID: 0
backend_startup_one: bi_db_open failed! (2)
slap_startup failed (test would succeed using the -u switch)

 

When I copy the following DB_CONFIG file from an example, I received similar error messages as the above. The DB_CONFIG file that I use is the following:

 

# $OpenLDAP: pkg/ldap/servers/slapd/DB_CONFIG,v 1.1.2.3 2006/08/17 17:36:19 kurt Exp $
# Example DB_CONFIG file for use with slapd(8) BDB/HDB databases.
#
# See Sleepycat Berkeley DB documentation
#   <http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/ref/env/db_config.html>
# for detail description of DB_CONFIG syntax and semantics.
#
# Hints can also be found in the OpenLDAP Software FAQ

# in particular:

# Note: most DB_CONFIG settings will take effect only upon rebuilding
# the DB environment.

# Data Directory

# Transaction Log settings

set_lg_bsize 2097152
#set_lg_dir logs

# Note: special DB_CONFIG flags are no longer needed for "quick"
# slapadd(8) or slapindex(8) access (see their -q option).

 

The error mesages are the following:

 

Checking configuration files for slapd:  bdb_db_open: db_open(/usr/local/var/openldap-data/id2entry.bdb) failed: No such file or directory (2)
bdb(dc=mydomain,dc=com): Unknown locker ID: 0
backend_startup_one: bi_db_open failed! (2)
slap_startup failed (test would succeed using the -u switch)

 

Can anyone please help resolve the problem? Thanks in advance!
