I have a openldap replica running syncrep that became corrupted irrecoverably yesterday. Since it is running syncrep I just deleted the database files and restarted it.
Now I can run openldap with this command
Code:
slapd -u ldap -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
but not with
Code:
# service ldap start
Checking configuration files for slapd: bdb_db_open: alock package is unstable
backend_startup_one: bi_db_open failed! (-1)
slap_startup failed (test would succeed using the -u switch)
[FAILED]
stale lock files may be present in /var/lib/ldap [WARNING]
I have removed the alock file from /var/lib/ldap and then run slapd_db_recover but I still get the same result.
I have seen this error be caused by file permissions but I cannot find a permission problem this time.
I found this in the init script that makes me wonder if the __db.001 should not exist?
Code:
# Check the configuration file.
if ! action $"Checking configuration files for $prog: " /sbin/runuser -m -s "$slaptest" -- "$user" $slaptestflags; then
if /sbin/runuser -m -s "$slaptest" -- "$user" "-u" > /dev/null 2> /dev/null ; then
dirs=`LANG=C egrep '^directory[[:space:]]+[[:print:]]+$' /etc/openldap/slapd.conf | awk '{print $2}'`
for directory in $dirs ; do
if test -r $directory/__db.001 ; then
echo -n $"stale lock files may be present in $directory" ; warning ; echo
fi
done
fi
exit 1
fi
