Comment 4 for bug 1003854

We just upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04 and subsequently our nightly backup of ldap database reports the same error as this bug report.

Our backup script run from root's crontab is

/usr/sbin/slapcat -F /etc/ldap/slapd.d -l /root/system/ldap.ldif

the error reported is

51256a8a olcDbDirectory: value #0: invalid path: No such file or directory
51256a8a config error processing olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config: olcDbDirectory: value #0: invalid path: No such file or directory
slapcat: bad configuration directory!

the database structure is

/var/lib/ldap
/var/lib/ldap/accesslog

meanwhile

#slaptest -u
config file testing succeeded
