openLDAP server

Hi Gurus,

I have downloaded openldap-stable-20040822.tgz and installed on RHEL 3.0.

But I don't see ldap in /etc/init.d.

And it is not found on the server as well.

What's wrong here ?

I think you should use a RPM package if you want a simple install.

rpm -qpl openldap*.rpm will give you the list of files if you want
to check before installing.

Where can I find the RPMs ?

It depends on your distribution !

On fedora (or debian), just use "apt-get install openldap"
(or yum install ...).

On Mandrake, look at urpmi

I'm using RedHat Advanced Server 3.0.

I don't know which package manager uses RH Advanced Server.
This distribution isn't supposed to be sold with support and documentation ? :-)

type whereis openldap

or
type locate "openldap"

Since you installed it from source there was probably no Sys V script ever created. So you probably don't see it as a service when you do a /sbin/chkconfig --list | more

The executable is definitely somewhere on your box

This seems to be strange I don't find any deamon executable on my machine.

Deamon supposed to be created with installation no ?

Or it should be created manullay ?

The OpenLDAP daemon is called slapd, from memory. Could this be why you can't see it?

On Fedora Core Install DVD it is found under /Fedora/RPMS/openldap* ( there are several packages , server, client, etc ).
