Help installing openldap

I'm having trouble getting openldap working on slackware 10.2.

I installed the package from linuxpackages.net, and have a very basic and minimual slapd.conf file.

Code:

include                        /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema

include                        /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema

include                        /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema



loglevel                        296

pidfile                        /var/run/slapd.pid

argsfile                        /var/run/slapd.args



password-hash                  {SSHA}



database                        bdb

suffix                          "dc=hopto,dc=org"

rootdn                          "cn=Manager,dc=hopto,dc=org"

rootpw                          {SSHA}QxZTzC3ZAYiGtpoOp+J4GkrM14XU3NC8

directory                      /var/ldap/hopto.org

mode                            0600

index          objectClass    eq

index          cn,sn,mail      pres,eq

cachesize                      2000

access to *

 by * read

I can start slapd, but the I can't kill it, even with -sigkill.
Tried:

Code:

kill -INT `cat /var/run/slapd.pid`

kill -s sigkill `pidof slapd`

killall slapd

I have to reboot to stop it.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought a INT signal to the master slapd process should cause it to clean up and terminate.

I'm thinking I must be doing something wrong. If you know what, please advise. Or if you know of a better way of getting a basic openldap working on slackware, let me know.

Thanks

*SOLVED*

Solution:
1. Uninstall all 3 versions of Berkeley db that ship with slackware.
2. Configure/Compile/Install Berkeley db from source.
3. Configure/Compile/Install OpenLDAP from source.

Commands that did the magic:

Code:

## Remove all 3 bdb packages

removepkg db3-3.3.11-i486-4

removepkg db31-3.1.17-i486-1

removepkg db4-4.2.52-i486-2

## Download/configure/compile/install Berkeley db

cd /usr/local/src

wget http://downloads.sleepycat.com/db-4.4.20.tar.gz

tar xzf db-4.4.20.tar.gz

cd db-4.4.20/build_unix

../dist/configure --prefix=/usr/local/

make

make install

## Download/configure/compile/install openldap

wget ftp://ftp.openldap.org/pub/OpenLDAP/openldap-stable/openldap-stable-20060127.tgz

tar xzf openldap-stable-20060127.tgz

cd openldap-2.3.19

./configure --enable-wrappers

make depend

make

make install

To start OpenLDAP:

Code:

/usr/local/libexec/slapd

To stop OpenLDAP:

Code:

kill -HUP `cat /var/run/slapd.pid`

I really hope this saves other Slackers some time - it sure was a pain to figure out.

BTW: Below is the /etc/rc.d/rc.openldap script I wrote to control it all.
Usage: /etc/rc.d/rc.openldap (start|stop|restart)

Code:

# /etc/rc.d/rc.openldap

if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then

 echo "Usage: $0: (start|stop|restart)"

 exit 1

fi



start_ldap() {

echo "Starting OpenLDAP."

echo "/usr/local/libexec/slapd"

/usr/local/libexec/slapd

sleep 1

}



stop_ldap() {

echo "Stopping OpenLDAP"

LDAPPID="$(pidof slapd|sed 's/ /\n/g'|sort -n|head -n1)"

if [ -z $LDAPPID ]; then

 echo "slapd not running"

 exit 1

else

 echo "kill -INT $LDAPPID"

 kill -INT $LDAPPID

 sleep 1

fi

}



case $1 in

 start )        start_ldap      ;;

 stop )        stop_ldap      ;;

 restart )      stop_ldap

                start_ldap      ;;

 * ) echo "Usage: $0: (start|stop|restart)"    ;;

esac



exit 0
