getting very frustrated with lack of success
Hello all.
I have been silently suffering through what has turned into an ordeal
with trying to set up a simply configured, very basic ldap server. I
have followed the directions in the HOWTO, the Quickstart Guide, and a
quasi-HOWTO to this mailing list (From: "Simon
Ritchie"<Simon.Ritchie@net.ntl.com>, Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2000 16:00:53
+0100) paying particular attention to the provided slapd.conf configs on
several different occasions. In fact, I am copying the config files
EXACTLY from these documents. Each time, I am running into the same
problem: "ldap_add: Operations error". This leads me to believe that
either my ldap install/database is broken, or I'm asking the ldap server
to do something the wrong way (my ldif file is syntactically incorrect,
or my ldapadd command is syntactically wrong, or something).
It's very frustrating. I have searched through the mailing list
archives, but found nothing that has helped me get around the issue.
Nothing in the documents I have read helps either. I have never found
any sort of troubleshooting guide, either. So ...
Here are the details of my setup: RedHat 7.2, installed openldap from
RPM packages (version 2.0.22 from open-it.org). I have attached my
slapd.conf and init.ldif.
Here's the output I get when I run ldapadd:
[root@redhat openldap]# /etc/init.d/ldap start
Starting slapd: [ OK ]
[root@redhat openldap]# ldapadd -x -D "cn=noris,o=home,c=sys" -f
init.ldif -W
Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "o=home, c=sys"
ldap_add: Operations error
ldif_record() = 1
Does anything immediately jump out at anyone as being wrong? I'm lost,
and very frustrated. Is it possible that I have munged my database with
so much messing around? I keep seeing references to destroying the
database and starting over with a fresh new database, but ... how do I
do that? What files do I delete? Is there a command I need to run?
Thanks in advance.
