I tried to start the ldap server: service ldap start and it says ok..but when i tried to look at the messages logs this shows:
Mar 11 07:48:16 main slaptest: sql_select option missing Mar 11 07:48:16 main slaptest: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available Mar 11 07:48:16 main ldap: succeeded Mar 11 07:48:16 main slapd[9183]: sql_select option missing Mar 11 07:48:16 main slapd[9183]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available Mar 11 07:48:16 main ldap: slapd startup succeeded
What does this mean?

I'm creating an ldap server for my network. I'm quite confuse about /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/openldap/ldap.conf files. What are the difference of those two config files? Thanks!

---- I'm gathering that there are some configuration options chosen in /etc/openldap/slapd.conf (which I don't use and don't have familiarity with) that are causing these errors. Are you trying to use something other than BDB database?

The means that you need to learn to use google to find how to do things. Google is faster than any mailing list, and will usually turn up better answers.

Let me translate your answer:
This mailing list is useless and should not be used.
Where does it say on the announcement email when I joined, that this mailing list should not be used to ask question, and we should drop it in favour of Google?

Woah there centos@911networks.com ... I cant quite work out if you are the same person as the original poster, but that point is not relevant; your tone is. You can use that tone when you're talking/emailing a paid rep/helpdesk but not here. Do you really think that the community is going to leap into action to help solve a problem after a snipe like that?
If you have an axe to grind, pay for some support from (eg) RHEL - they will be happy to listen.
What John meant (imho) is that for questions like the original poster, google is a more appropriate source of information. You wont find many subscribers here who are willing to answer questions which clearly show you/OP haven't bothered to do a 10 second search.

I am not the original sender. I was just following the thread. The purpose of the list is to help other people. To just say, since you have not searched on Google, then too bad....
You are right my tone was more flippant than I intended, but I was 'offended' by the response.
At least some other people, when they say that they provide either a link to another website that has a good tutorial or they provide the search words.

I somewhat agree, that people should 1st search on Google, but it's not a requirement, and people should not say:
I won't help you because you can't prove that you were on Google.
Now, what would be a proper help if the person would have started the same email with:
I have searched on Google and ...

I have been helping people on many lists for many years - if you look up my name at googlism.com you will find some statements about me that are substantially true, but I expect people to make a decent effort to help themselves first
I would rather check my distro for relevant documentation, then spend half an hour with Google than wait the probably 24 or 48 hours to get a reply on any list.
If those don't help, then when I go to the list I make it clear that I have done some homework (or just rarely confess I don't know where to start, googling for a product called "word" is fairly difficult). And I try to provide good information for people to assess.
Mostly, when I answer, I try to tell people how to help themselves. I'd rather teach you how to catch a fish than give you a fish: catching fish is more fun.

No. Think courtesy, a thing you illustrated you don't understand when you replied off-list.
Basically, you ask for help only after you've made a decent effort yourself. Ask google about netiquette and about asking good questions, Eric Raymond aka ESR has a useful treatise on the topic.
We are not your servant, let alone your slaves, and some of us get very testy when people presume too much.

---- I have a bit of sympathy for OpenLDAP as the openldap.org admin manual and their 'faq-o-matic' aren't going to answer either of his questions, the openldap-software mail list would simply tell him that he needs to upgrade to 2.3.34 and his questions are off-topic.
As someone who has googled for some things openldap, it is not the easiest to get answers.
If that weren't enough, I already answered his 2 questions in less words than I have spent here. It wasn't a big deal and the answers are not easily googled or found in man pages or anywhere else.

That might be, it's not the answer to everything, but at least you made the effort.
