LDAP & Samba not running on Linux server
 

HI Have a Clear OS 6.4 Linux installation that is acting as a file store for a windows network. Over the weekend the server lost power and when it came back the server fails to start a couple of services

Ldap
smb

The Ldap service starts and stops immediately and the samba service fails to start because it can't connect to the ldap service.

I did some searching on the network and found a few articles but they didn't really help me.

Does anyone know in basic terms how to get my ldap service running again. My Linux exposure is pretty limited.

I will add that this setup was installed by my predecessor and one of his friends so I'm not sure what was set up or how.

Please check of the problem is due to timing issue and the backup, since it mostly happens.

I'd think that there is a log of the problem. I assume that you had it ready to start on power on. Logs tend to be in /var subdirectory. You'd have to double check clearos docs.

I get the feeling that the network is the issue so after looking at logs might also look at network.
