Hello –
I am new to LDAP and I’m trying to setup Sync Replication on a Fedora Core 8 system (2.6.23.9-85.fc8). However, when I start the LDAP service, I get the following error message:
Checking configuration files for slapd: [FAILED]
overlay "syncprov" not found
slaptest: bad configuration file!
I’ve searched the archived threads for this group (as well as many others) and wasn’t able to find any postings that matched what I’m seeing. If I missed an old post by mistake, I apologize in advance. I’ve included a copy of my slapd.conf file below. The interesting thing is that when I comment out the following lines, LDAP will start without any issues:
overlay syncprov
syncprov-checkpoint 100 10
syncprov-sessionlog 100
This leads me to believe that the issue is with the replication process, but I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I’ve followed the examples given in the OpenLDAP Admin Guide, but it just doesn’t seem to want to work for me. Also, in case anyone asks, here are the packages installed on the server in question:
openldap-2.3.39-3.fc8
openldap-devel-2.3.39-3.fc8
openldap-servers-2.3.39-3.fc8
openldap-clients-2.3.39-3.fc8
On RHEL systems, the overlays are in a separate RPM, openldap-servers-overlays:
# rpm -qa | grep openldap | sort openldap-2.3.43-3.el5 openldap-clients-2.3.43-3.el5 openldap-servers-2.3.43-3.el5 openldap-servers-overlays-2.3.43-3.el5
Since RHEL is based on Fedora, I bet you need to install the separate overly RPM on FC8, too
