Hi Folks –
I am getting the No PID file for openLDAP error when starting/stopping slapd.

It seems to show that openLDAP is running on this box, but I can’t connect to it.
The slapd.conf file is attached.
I see a lot of results about this error out there on the web, but most of the fixes like manually creating the pid file don’t seem to work. If anyone has any tips I can try, it would be greatly appreciated.
This is a standalone (test oldap, running 2.4.36) on redhat 6.
Hi,
seems you are using LTB OpenLDAP packages, or at least LTB OpenLDAP init script. Try to run: # service slapd debug
You should get information on why it is not starting.
Clément.
