   Hello,

I'm in the process of copying a server configuration to an Ubuntu server
and I'm getting a very strange error on start up:

Jul  7 14:46:03 Ubuntu64 slapd[5079]: config error processing
olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config: olcDbDirectory: value #0: invalid path:
Permission denied

strace shows:

[pid  5079] open("/opt/local/var/run/openldap//DUMMY",
Where is the DUMMY coming from?

I assumed it was from the internals somewhere, it isn't part of my config.

The previous strace output is:

Have you verified that you can get to /opt/local/var/run/openldap and create a file as the user you are running slapd as? Just because /opt/local/var/run/openldap has the right permissions does not mean the higher level directories do. Also things like AppArmor often block slapd if installed.
