Hi,

Forgive me if this is an obvious one, as i'm new to openldap. I have setup Openldap 2.4.16 from source with db-4.7.25 on Centos 5.3 x64, running on a VMWARE-ESXI Server.

#Installed with following options export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/db-4.7.25/include" export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/db-4.7.25/lib -R/usr/local/db-4.7.25/lib" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/data/extracted/db-4.7.25/build_unix/.libs/" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openldap-2.4.16 make depend make make install ### cd db-4.7.25/build_unix ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr/local/db-4.7.25 make make install

### # The behaviour is very odd, the process appears to start up but doesn't show up in netstat properly and basic ldapadd commands stall after the first entry.Firewall & selinux is turned off. I can't seem to see too many errors?

ldapadd -v -W -x -D "cn=admin,dc=labs,dc=example,dc=com,dc=au" -W -f <base ldiff file here> ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> ) Enter LDAP Password: add dc: labs add o: example add objectClass: top domain adding new entry "dc=labs,dc=example,dc=com,dc=au"
