Réf. : Re: initialize openldap

[emmanuelbiennier@virtualvercors.net]

Hi 
I try to do what you say ( slapd -g ldap -u ldap -d -1) 

daemon_init: <null>
daemon_init: listen on ldap:///
daemon_init: 1 listeners to open...
ldap_url_parse_ext(ldap:///)
daemon: initialized ldap:///
daemon_init: 2 listeners opened
slapd init: initiated server.
slap_sasl_init: initialized!
bdb_initialize: initialize BDB backend
bdb_initialize: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.2.52: (March 25, 2004)
could not open config file "/etc/openldap/slapd.conf": Permission denied 
(13)
slapd shutdown: freeing system resources.
slapd stopped.
connections_destroy: nothing to destroy.

but I delete the ldap directory /var/lib/ldap
so I create a new directory (as root) but I don't know what owner must I specified and rights to this 
directory 
thank you

Well, on Mandrakelinux, the default database directory is actually
/var/lib/ldap

You should try starting slapd as follows, which should make it easier to
find the problem:

# slapd -g ldap -u ldap -d -1

BTW, a common mistake is to do operations on the database directory (and
the files in the database directory) as root, without correcting the
permissions on the files before starting the ldap service.
