I am trying to setup OpenLDAP on CentOS 5.3 i386 for a client of mine. everytime I try running 'service ldap start', I get the following in syslog:
root@xx ~: tailf /var/log/messages .....slaptest: sql_select option missing ....slaptest: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available ....slapd[4392]: sql_select option missing ....slapd[4392]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available ....ldap: slapd startup failed
I have checked the permissions on /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/openldap.conf and the two are chmod'd ldap:ldap
Can anyone give me pointers?
This is *not* a permissions problem. Read the message - it's saying you have an error in your slapd configuration file. Also, you can run slaptest by itself, to check the config, and you can add debug levels (-d 3, or whatever) to identify the lines, I believe I remember.
