Could you check the content of /var/log/syslog and /var/log/daemon for messages related to slapd? Could you attach them to this bug?

Is slapd running now that the upgrade has finished?

[Arjan (iafilius)]

as requested some additional syslog:

additional note.

when i do an "apt-get upgrade" again, i get::
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done

  Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.d in /var/backups/slapd-2.4.21-0ubuntu5... done.
Starting OpenLDAP: slapd

and it just keeps sitting/hanging there.

a ^C to interrupt doesn't work.

and also a manual:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/slapd start
Starting OpenLDAP: slapd

"hangs."

i'm not sure what changed, didn't do realy much with ldap, but i'm pretty sure it just started without problems

for some reason it looks just it won't start as daemon anymore.

how the proces is running:
 ps aux|grep slap
root 10073 0.0 0.0 4092 668 pts/3 S+ 06:11 0:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/slapd start

arfi 10084 0.0 0.0 7620 916 pts/2 S+ 06:13 0:00 grep --color=auto slap

hope this might some light

regards,

Arjan, can you copy your /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG to the
/var/lib/ldap/access_log directory? Also, make sure that the directory
exists, but I think it should or you'd have a different error.

Anyway, try:

  sudo cp /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG /var/lib/ldap/access_log
  sudo /etc/init.d/slapd start

Thanks

It seems that slapd is running with the debugging option set (-d 256) in
which case slapd won't fork in the background.

From the slapd manpage:

 -d debug-level

 Turn on debugging as defined by debug-level. If this option is
 specified, even with a zero argument, slapd will not fork or
 disassociate from the invoking terminal.

Could you try to not start slapd with debugging set?

Hi,

first of all, just started my laptop, again which runs the ldap, and noticed no hanging ldap startup, but also no running process.
tried by hand, bu no hangs, just an error (as below).

as requested, copied the DB_CONFIG file, i've seen this DB_CONFIG message
before, but for my purpose it didn;t matter much

now after coping (DB_CONFIG) i get:

root@arfi-laptop:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/slapd start
Starting OpenLDAP: slapd - failed:
@(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.21 (Jul 28 2010 11:13:04) $
 buildd@crested:/build/buildd/openldap-2.4.21/debian/build/servers/slapd
daemon: bind(10) failed errno=2 (No such file or directory)
slapd stopped.
connections_destroy: nothing to destroy.
root@arfi-laptop:/etc/init.d#

my /var/log/syslog says:
Jul 30 18:35:42 arfi-laptop slapd[3860]: @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.21 (Jul 28 2010 11:13:04) $#012#011buildd@crested:/build/buildd/openldap-2.4.21/debian/build/servers/slapd
Jul 30 18:35:42 arfi-laptop rsyslogd: Could not open dynamic file '/tmp/allmessages' - discarding message
Jul 30 18:35:42 arfi-laptop slapd[3860]: daemon: bind(10) failed errno=2 (No such file or directory)
Jul 30 18:35:42 arfi-laptop slapd[3860]: slapd stopped.
Jul 30 18:35:42 arfi-laptop slapd[3860]: connections_destroy: nothing to destroy.

another tip, to disable debugging by emty-ing the SLAPD_OPTIONS= in /etc/default.slapd, results in a little other message:
root@arfi-laptop:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/slapd start
Starting OpenLDAP: slapd - failed.
The operation failed but no output was produced. For hints on what went
wrong please refer to the system's logfiles (e.g. /var/log/syslog) or
try running the daemon in Debug mode like via "slapd -d 16383" (warning:
this will create copious output).

Below, you can find the command line options used by this script to
run slapd. Do not forget to specify those options if you
want to look to debugging output:
  slapd -h 'ldap:/// ldapi:///' -g openldap -u openldap -F /etc/ldap/slapd.d
root@arfi-laptop:/etc/init.d#

now, debugging again but then manually:
root@arfi-laptop:/etc/init.d# slapd -h 'ldap:/// ldapi:///' -g openldap -u openldap -F /etc/ldap/slapd.d -d 16383
@(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.4.21 (Jul 28 2010 11:13:04) $
 buildd@crested:/build/buildd/openldap-2.4.21/debian/build/servers/slapd
ldap_pvt_gethostbyname_a: host=arfi-laptop, r=0

slap_open_listener: failed on ldapi:///
slapd stopped.
connections_destroy: nothing to destroy.
root@arfi-laptop:/etc/init.d#

so it looks like it will complain about the ldapi:///

after removing the ldapi:/// it just seems starting fine
root@arfi-laptop:/etc/init.d# slapd -h 'ldap:///' -g openldap -u openldap -F /etc/ldap/slapd.d
root@arfi-laptop:/etc/init.d# ps aux|grep slapd

hi, additional note, the /var/run/slapd/ directory doesn't exists, but creating one manual seems not to change anything.

What's the error message when /var/run/slapd/ was created? Is there any
messages in /var/log/kern.log?

Was slapd running *before* the upgrade was started?

What changes were made to /etc/default/slapd?
