Hi, i have openldap(2.4.9) installed in ubuntu 8.04 server. i want to create a multi master set up with two such servers(2 or more than 2) first i tried to follow http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.htmlto form n-way master setup. but in starting only i got a problem saying database(dc=mytest,dc=com) is not configured to hold "cn=config" then i tried setting up cn=config using http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ch6/slapd-config.html but that doesn't help me meaning even after configuring that cn=config as he mentioned in the site i got the same error so i removed everything(slapd.d) what i did earlier so now i have slapd.conf in both of my servers

finally i found one more link http://itsecureadmin.com/wiki/index.php/OpenLDAP_Multi-Master_Replication that displays sample config file so i followed that you can check the slapd.conf below so now i set up the same configuration in the second server too.

after writing these slapd.conf i just restared slapd on both servers. for the first time when i add some data the first server it got replicated on the other server only when restart slapd on second server. that is fine. when i tried to add some other data on second server its not getting replicated on the other server even if i restart slapd. after that wherever i add data not getting replicated adding locally only.

what could be the problem. plz check my slapd.conf file and suggetst me how to do multi master replication on ubuntu 8.04 server.

so my slapd.conf is below.
