I had configured ldap in server-client I had created the ldif file also and added that file to the ldap database. It was working fine yesterday,but when i started the machine today and when i restarted the ldap service the stopping ldap is always coming failed.

When starting ldap is always coming start,when i check by *service ldap status* it is showing slapd is stopped.

[root@testnode ~]# service ldap restart Stopping slapd: [*FAILED*] Checking configuration files for slapd: config file testing succeeded Starting slapd: [ *OK * ] [root@testnode ~]# service ldap restart Stopping slapd: [*FAILED*] Checking configuration files for slapd: config file testing succeeded Starting slapd: [ *OK * ] [root@testnode ~]# service ldap restart Stopping slapd: [*FAILED*] Checking configuration files for slapd: config file testing succeeded Starting slapd: [ *OK *] [*root@testnode ~]# service ldap status slapd is stopped [root@testnode ~]#
