RE: OpenLDAP error - ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (

Hello, thank you for your reply. Here are the answers to your questions

Yes the process is running.

/etc/init.d/slapd status

slapd: [INFO] Using /etc/default/slapd for configuration

slapd: [INFO] LDAP Tool Box OpenLDAP init script version 2.1

slapd: [INFO] Process OpenLDAP is not running

This is the OpenLDAP process running.

_______________

I ran the command tail –f /var/log/openldap.log

In another terminal I ran the ldapsearch –x command.

I did not see any output to the openldap.log.

I am still getting the Can’t contact LDAP server error after the command.

ldapsearch -x

ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

_______________

I ran the command.

/etc/init.d/slapd debug

In another window I ran the command ldapsearch –x

Again, no output to debug.

Again - getting the Can’t contact LDAP server error

ldapsearch -x

ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

Thoughts?

Thank you

Hello, I am new to OpenLDAP and could please use your help.
I just created a brand new install of the latest OpenLDAP server - openldap-ltb.x86_64 0:2.4.42-1.el6
on Centos 6.7

There are no entries in the bdb database as this is a new install.

I am getting the error when running to following command.
ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

# ldapsearch -x -d 1 -LLL
ldap_create
ldap_sasl_bind

ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I came up very short with my google searches.

Could you check that the service is up wih:
# /etc/init.d/slapd status

You can also check logs on /var/log/openldap.log

Or run OpenLDAP with logs in console :
# /etc/init.d/slapd debug
