Hi, I had a good LDAP server on Debian Squeeze, everything was ok. I was able to login using ldap users, i was able to make research using ldapsearch. Now, after adding an ldif file with some groups it doesn't run. Trying ldapsearch the answer is ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1) What can be happened?

ok, am sorry. as said i have LDAP server on Debian Squeeze. It was working fine until adding this ldif file: GNU nano 2.2.4 File: /etc/ldap/cn.ldif #gruppo Studenti dn: cn=Students,ou=Groups,dc=amahoro,dc=bi cn: Students gidNumber: 2000 objectClass: posixGroup #gruppo Staff dn: cn=Staff,ou=Groups,dc=amahoro,dc=bi cn: Staff gidNumber: 2001 objectClass: posixGroup #gruppo Admins dn: cn=Admins,ou=Groups,dc=amahoro,dc=bi cn: Admins gidNumber: 2002 objectClass: posixGroup #gruppo Teachers dn: cn=Teachers,ou=Groups,dc=amahoro,dc=bi cn: Teachers gidNumber: 2003 objectClass: posixGroup The first time i tried using ldapadd but it gave me this error: root@amahoro:/etc/ldap# ldapadd -x -W -D 'cn=Manager,dc=amahoro,dc=bi' -f cn.ldif Enter LDAP Password: adding new entry "cn=Students,ou=Groups,dc=amahoro,dc=bi" ldap_add: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error (80) additional info: index generation failed Then i used slapadd without errors: root@amahoro:/etc/ldap# slapadd -v -f /etc/ldap/slapd.conf -l cn.ldif hdb_db_open: database "dc=amahoro,dc=bi": unclean shutdown detected; attempting recovery. added: "cn=Students,ou=Groups,dc=amahoro,dc=bi" (00000009) added: "cn=Staff,ou=Groups,dc=amahoro,dc=bi" (0000000a) added: "cn=Admins,ou=Groups,dc=amahoro,dc=bi" (0000000b) added: "cn=Teachers,ou=Groups,dc=amahoro,dc=bi" (0000000c) _#################### 100.00% eta none elapsed none fast!
