Topic: slapd error filling logs

[tariqf]

I have a fresh sme server 7b8 install with openxchange rpms from http://smeserver.free.fr/ox/ox7/

My problem is that slapd errors are filling up my /var/log/messages file as below. Please can anyone help?

You are trying to run two instances of ldap simultaneously. Presumably one was started up as a backgrounded daemon by the OX install, and the other is the supervised instance of slapd started by SME server.

"killall -TERM slapd" should fix the errors.

Ok thanks for the information - I see that sme LDAP is somehow conflicting with the openxchange LDAP but I'm not an expert so I'm stil struggling with this.

I simply cannot get slapd to stop!

I do

/ett/init.d/ldap stop
killall -9 -9 slapd (numerous times to kill it)

But then something else starts slapd up and I can still see it with

ps -A | grep slapd

Any ideas? I think I need to stop sme server loading up it's slapd configuration so openxchange can do its thing or so that I can simply start slapd myself to debug

How can I stop this damn slapd so I can then start it alone with slapd -d 256?

/sbin/e-smith/config setprop ldap status disabled
svc -d /service/ldap

Brilliant thanks that did the trick. Now at least I can start slapd and i know its the only one running.

Now I just have to figure out why all my clients are getting

Your new ldap server is using a different password. I think you'll find you're not using the same root password as has been set.

[tariqf]

thanks it seems I have a long night of reading up on ldap and openxchange ahead of me!

Can you give me a hint where I can change or see what root password has been set in my ldap server?
