i used these;

Then, i restarted ldap, and did
slapadd -l data.ldif


slapd should not be running when you use slapadd.



but id doesnt do something.
It only waits.


You should actually do this:

1)Stop slapd
2)slapcat -l data.ldif
3)Edit slapd.conf, change ldbm to bdb, add a checkpoint directive (see
slapd-bdb(5)).
4)Move the existing database files
5)Add a DB_CONFIG file (see the FAQ-o-matic for some info here)
6)slapadd -l data.ldif


But it gives a message like this

[root@alibaba root]# slapadd -l data.ldif
slap_startup failed


When slapd is not running? Does your slapd have support for bdb?


Yes, i have bdb support, i compiled it with bdb support.



Did you try increasing the verbosity (ie slapadd -d -1 -l data.ldif)?


[root@alibaba root]# slapadd -d 2 -l data.ldif

You skipped step 4. Remove *all* the database related files from /var/lib/ldap



Yes that is right, i have done rm -f *dbb, i have not removed log files and the others.
Now everything is ok. It works and using bdb..
Thanks!



(except DB_CONFIG, if present), including the database environment files (__db*), the transaction log files (log.*) and any database files (*.bdb). Why these are present, if you had only used ldbm before, is another question (ie, there's something you haven't told us).
