Hi, I'm running Centos 5, with openldap Version: 2.3.27 Release: 8.el5_2.4. When I run: $ sudo /etc/init.d/ldap start I get the following error: Starting slapd: /bin/bash: /tmp/start-slapd.l14891: Permission denied (obviously the temp file number changes every time). It appears to be a permission problem but I thought I did everything to set up the permissions correctly... Everything is owned by the ldap user: $ cd /etc/openldap/ $ ls -al total 40 drwxr-xr-x 4 ldap ldap 4096 Jan 16 18:07 . drwxr-xr-x 66 root root 4096 Jan 16 17:55 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 ldap ldap 4096 Jul 9 2008 cacerts -rw-r----- 1 ldap ldap 886 Jul 9 2008 DB_CONFIG.example -rw-r--r-- 1 ldap ldap 246 Jul 9 2008 ldap.conf drwxr-xr-x 3 ldap ldap 4096 Jan 16 17:40 schema -rw-r----- 1 ldap ldap 3456 Jan 16 18:07 slapd.conf -rw-r----- 1 ldap ldap 12288 Jan 16 18:07 .slapd.conf.swp $ sudo ls -al /var/lib/ldap/ total 572 drwx------ 2 ldap ldap 4096 Jan 16 17:41 . drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 Jan 16 17:40 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 ldap ldap 2048 Jan 16 17:41 alock -rw------- 1 ldap ldap 24576 Jan 16 17:41 __db.001 -rw------- 1 ldap ldap 278528 Jan 16 17:41 __db.002 -rw------- 1 ldap ldap 270336 Jan 16 17:41 __db.003 -rw------- 1 ldap ldap 98304 Jan 16 17:41 __db.004 -rw------- 1 ldap ldap 352256 Jan 16 17:41 __db.005 -rw------- 1 ldap ldap 24576 Jan 16 17:41 __db.006 -rw------- 1 ldap ldap 10485760 Jan 16 17:41 log.0000000001 When I run slaptest, it doesn't look great, but it doesn't look like a problem... $ sudo /usr/sbin/slaptest bdb_db_open: Warning - No DB_CONFIG file found in directory /var/lib/ldap: (2) Expect poor performance for suffix dc=XXXX,dc=net. bdb_db_open: db_open(/var/lib/ldap/id2entry.bdb) failed: No such file or directory (2) bdb(dc=XXXX,dc=net): Unknown locker ID: 0 backend_startup_one: bi_db_open failed!
