Public bug reported: I had a couple of systems with jaunty installed, running the openldap server, configured to use "cn=config" for configuration. On both systems, when I upgraded to karmic, something rewrote /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config/olcDatabase={0}config.ldif (or perhaps it was olcDatabase={1}bdb.ldif) to add a new "olcAccess" line. However, the file already had an olcAccess line, and openldap doesn't allow duplicate lines without prefixing the value with {0}, {1}, {2}, ... The newly added value isn't prefixed in such a way, and hence is a syntax error, and hence slapd won't start after the upgrade.
I'll attach a backup of /etc/ldap from one of the systems from when it was still running jaunty. Presumably, dumping this in /etc/ldap and testing a backup will yield the same problem. ** Affects: openldap (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- jaunty -> karmic upgrade modifies cn=config DB definition, creates syntax error, slapd won't start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/526230 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openldap in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
