[Fwd: Re: slapcat: slap_init no backend for "dc=magtech,dc=com,dc=au"]

[Paul Milazzo <paulm@magtech.com.au>]

Thanks for you suggestions (see below), however, I have
tried making the suffix just

"dc=magtech,dc=com,dc=au, c=AU"

and I still get no joy. I tried leaving the "c" country
attribute out and no joy there either .... 

Can someone supply a sample slapd.conf file as a bare bones
file with just a root user to define rootdn so I can run it
against openLDAP 2.0.19. At this stage I'm not sure if the
problem is within my slapd.conf file OR it's an operating
system problem (like directory permissions etc ...) or it's
a slapd problem.

I have made the database directory world readable and
writeable (/var/lib/ldap rwxrwxrwx) just to remove any
possible issues with writing to the db file (this is a
temporary measure to eliminate one source of problems)

I note however that my installation does not have an index
file, I just have a db2id.gdbm file is this correct ? Am I
not missing an id2index.gdbm file or something like that or
is generated after running "slapindex" ?

Regards
Paul
