Hi,

openLDAP a écrit :

I am quite new to OpenLDAP and cannot seem resolve why slapd does not start when I add a custom schema. Nothing appears in syslog and the following appears when I try to start it:

root@control:/etc/ldap# sudo slapd -d acl @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.7 (Apr 29 2008 08:44:27) $ buildd@rothera:/build/buildd/openldap2.3-2.4.7/debian/build/servers/slapd AttributeTypeDescription = "(" whsp numericoid whsp ; AttributeType identifier [ "NAME" qdescrs ] ; name used in AttributeType [ "DESC" qdstring ] ; description [ "OBSOLETE" whsp ] [ "SUP" woid ] ; derived from this other ; AttributeType [ "EQUALITY" woid ] ; Matching Rule name [ "ORDERING" woid ] ; Matching Rule name [ "SUBSTR" woid ] ; Matching Rule name [ "SYNTAX" whsp noidlen whsp ] ; see section 4.3 [ "SINGLE-VALUE" whsp ] ; default multi-valued [ "COLLECTIVE" whsp ] ; default not collective [ "NO-USER-MODIFICATION" whsp ]; default user modifiable [ "USAGE" whsp AttributeUsage ]; default userApplications ; userApplications ; directoryOperation ; distributedOperation ; dSAOperation whsp ")" slapd stopped.

Can someone please point me in the right direction to resolving this type of error?

It looks like your custom schema declaration isn't quite right. To find out more, I suggest you use the 'config' debug level: slapd -d 64

That should provide lots of information on configuration file processing, including schemas.
