Re: Can't start ldap or can't create ldap database.

[Chris Jacobs <Chris.Jacobs@apollogrp.edu>]

It's merely reminding you that you might want one have one.  Put a blank file in your BDB directory with that name.

It's purely a BDB thing - nothing to do with OpenLDAP.

There are article 'out there' on what might go in the file, but in many cases you don't need to tune anything - seriously.

Caveat: I'm no expert.

Thanks,

OK, I got that fixed:

 # netstat -an | egrep '389|636'
tcp4       0      0 192.168.1.20.636       *.*                    LISTEN
tcp4       0      0 192.168.1.20.389       *.*                    LISTEN

But I am still getting the following warning:

bdb_db_open: warning - no DB_CONFIG file found in directory
/var/db/openldap-data: (2). Expect poor performance for suffix
"dc=ip6,dc=com,dc=au".

How to configure DB_CONFIG file for this issue?

Thanks
Sam
