Package: slapd Version: 2.3.30-5 Severity: normal Upgraded my OpenLDAP server this morning and slapd failed to start. The initial failure was in the middle of a general dist-upgrade from sarge to etch. As such the notices about the failure scrolled off the screen.
So, to find the reason for the failure I ran "apt-get -f install". This of course failed due to the backup already existing, as others have noted. Moving the latest backup out of the way allowed the previous upgrade failure message and notes to be displayed. Running "slapd -u openldap -g openldap -d 16383" revealed the cause of the failure. While the database ownership had been updated to the new user:group, the configuration files (/etc/ldap) had not. Specifically, the SSL certificate and key used for SSL connections could not be read. Changing the ownership on the key and certificate to openldap:openldap and once again moving the backup out of the way corrected the problem. --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-k7 Debian Release: 4.0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
