Hey! Thanks! Much better than sifting in the dark :)

 

Here is my output:

 

XXXXXXXXXX~ # slaptest

hdb_db_open: warning - no DB_CONFIG file found in directory
/var/lib/openldap-data: (2).

Expect poor performance for suffix "dc= XXXXXXXXXXXX,dc=XXX".

hdb_db_open: database "dc= XXXXXXXXXXXX,dc=XXX":
db_open(/var/lib/openldap-data/id2entry.bdb) failed: No such file or
directory (2).

backend_startup_one (type=hdb, suffix="dc=XXXXXXXXXXXX,dc=XXX"): bi_db_open
failed! (2)

slap_startup failed (test would succeed using the -u switch)

 

So, I am guessing I need to initialize somehow? Is that right?

 

Thanks again.

 

Regards,

or...
you could run slaptest and get some failure output.
I noticed that my slapd was having issues too, I managed to track it down to
a bdb version mismatch

miniroute ~ # slaptest
bdb_back_initialize: BDB library version mismatch: expected Berkeley DB
4.8.26: (2010-03-14), got Berkeley DB 4.8.30: (2010-05-03)
backend_init: initialized for type "bdb"
slaptest: slap_init failed!
miniroute ~ #

That puts the debug of the init scripts on, not of openldap. Try:
slapd -d 65535

That should give you all the debugging output of slapd.
