Re: master ldap database is not getting populated

I actually tried restarting slapd but wasn't successfull.
   Anyways when i do slapcat there are entries like timestamps that gets created in the ldif file. slapadd will complain about these. Is there a way to export the database without those, or should i do the cleanup
   
  Regards,

Moe,

You are correct that you recovered incorrectly. You in fact made recovery 
impossible, and helped to corrupt your database. The "db_recover" command 
needs the log files and the database environment to be present to run 
recovery correctly. You should never, ever delete the (in-use) log files 
unless you are going to be completely reloading your database. Also, on 
OpenLDAP 2.3, there is no need to run db_recover manually. Simply restart 
slapd, and it'll recover things for you.

The best thing to do for you at this point, is to export the database on 
your slave via slapcat, and then wipe out your master and slapadd the 
database there.
