Thanks for your help. I can't seem to be able to start the server with the -d flag. Here is what I tried:
su root -c /usr/local/libexec/slapd -d 65535
I also tried:
su root -d 65535 -c /usr/local/libexec/slapd
And it complains in both cases that -d is an invalid option.
Using -d works for me. Which version of OpenLDAP is this?
Can you post any output it produces?
I am using openldap-2.3.39 on Ubuntu.
Here is the output:
su root -d 65535 -c /usr/local/libexec/slapd su: invalid option -- d Usage: su [options] [LOGIN]
Obviously this is wrong since you use option -d for the su command.
How about doing "su -" just to get root and then use
/usr/local/libexec/slapd -d 65535 [..other needed args..]
You also have to check your syslog and which user is running slapd normally.
Ciao, Michael.
