Hello Team,
I am very new to Linux and Openldap. We have setup a mail server on CentOS, Postfix, Dovecot, etc witth OpenLDAP as backend.
1) We want to change the daabase directory of Openldap from /var/lib/ldap to /var/vmail/ldap . Could someone please let me know the settings I need to make to achieve this?
2) I tried to creae /var/lib/ldap as a linked folder (actual database located under /var/vmail/ldap). Permissions to the files and folders under this were set exactly the same. when I start ldap service, i get the following error: backend_startup_one: bi_db_open failed! (-1) slap_startup failed (test would succeed using the -u switch) [FAILED] stale lock files may be present in /var/lib/ldap/dbname [WARNING] If I remove the linked folder and copy the contents to /var/lib/ldap, everything works perfectly fine. Is linked folder not going to work for ldap? or am I missing something here? (Please note that the folder /var/vmail is a separate LUN in the SAN).
I would like to achieve any one of the scinario mentioned above. Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
Best Regards PineMail Admin

Find the "directory" line in slapd.conf, which specifies the directory in which to store the database. This is, of course, easily discovered by reading the man pages.

Stop slapd. Move the directory. Change the directory in slapd.conf. Start slapd.
