Hi guys,

I have the following problem: I have two servers, ldap1 and ldap2 that I am trying to sync both ways using syncrepl. However, when I was entering an 8mb data into ldap1 using ldapadd, the changes were not propagated or was not retrieved by ldap2. What's worse is ldap2 syncrepl gets a "Can't contact server error." However, when doing an ldapsearch from the ldap2 terminal to ldap1, the results are displayed.

Additionally, I was doing an ldapsearch in ldap2 while the syncing was going on. Does this have any effect?

Below is the olcDatabase={2}bdb.ldif files from both ldap1 and ldap2.

The ldap1 logs show nothing and the ldap2 logs display the following lines:

do_syncrep2: rid=001 (-1) Can't contact LDAP server do_syncrepl: rid=001 rc -1 retrying (4 retries left)

I have tried rebooting both the servers but the problem persists.

I am using OpenLDAP v2.4.23 on a CentOS 6.3 VM.
