Hi, I am new to openldap. I've been searching the internet and this list, but have not found a match for my issue (though there are several failures of slapd to run reported, they all appear to differ from my case in that there were some side infos provided by slapd). I've built slapd (fairly plain: --enable-bdb=no --enable-hdb=no --with-tls) , installed it and tried to start it following the instructions in the admin guide ( chapter 2. A Quick-Start Guide, for that matter).
modified /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.ldif ran [root@...]# /usr/local/sbin/slapadd -n 0 -F /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.d -l /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.ldif _#################### 100.00% eta none elapsed none fast! Closing DB... [root@...]# chown -R slapd.slapd /usr/local/etc/openldap/ [root@...]# chown -R slapd.slapd /usr/local/var/openldap-data Then, attempting to start slapd: # /usr/local/libexec/slapd -u slapd -g slapd -F /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.d -VVVVV -d65535 ldap_url_parse_ext(ldap://localhost/) ldap_init: trying /usr/local/etc/openldap/ldap.conf ldap_init: using /usr/local/etc/openldap/ldap.conf ldap_init: HOME env is /root ldap_init: trying /root/ldaprc ldap_init: trying /root/.ldaprc ldap_init: trying ldaprc ldap_init: LDAPCONF env is NULL ldap_init: LDAPRC env is NULL @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.49 (May 4 2020 11:30:05) $ [email protected]:/usr/local/src/openldap-2.4.49/servers/slapd Included static overlays: syncprov Included static backends: config ldif monitor mdb relay 5eb2c445 slapd stopped. 5eb2c445 connections_destroy: nothing to destroy. I've tried to strace the slapd start, but that gave me no clue ... What can I further do to get useful hints to the cause o slapd's failure to run? Why, albeit I submit -F /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.d, does slapd / ldap_init report "using /usr/local/etc/openldap/ldap.conf"?
