Hi,
am creating a database ldap on squeeze. the configuration was ok.
due to some errors adding new entries, following the guide "Mastering
OpenLDAP", page 96, i deleted with this command:
rm __db.* *.bdb log.*
then i succesfully added two ldif files using slapdadd. i started slapd
with
/etc/init.d/slapd start.
i launching ldapsearch but the answer ii can't contact the server. i
checked with ps -aux about the slapd process but i didn't find it.
i checked in /var/run/slapd/ and there is not slapd.pid.
have you got idea about this? what could i do?
thanks
Could you try running
db_recover -h /path/of/your/bdb files
I am not sure of the openldap version or bdb version, so probably you need
to check whether in your case should you be using slapd_db_recover or just
db_recover,
as in recent versions db4 and openldap have been decoupled.
Also can you enable logging , the local4.* facility can be used to get
ldap logs. ( I am not exactly sure if this is true for ubuntu also )
Add "local4.* /var/log/ldap.log in your rsyslog or syslog" configuration
and restart rsyslog/syslog and restart slapd service, if slapd fails, the
errors would be thrown in /var/log/ldap.log file
