ldap error: bdb_db_open: database already in use
 

the ldap service starts successfully. but when running the script "migrate_all_offline.sh" i get the error below. i am unable to log into the client system using ldap. has anyone experienced this kind of error? thanks

Preparing LDAP database...
bdb_db_open: database already in use
backend_startup_one: bi_db_open failed! (-1)
slap_startup failed
Migration failed: saving failed LDIF to /tmp/nis.ldif.zf5108

running 'slaptest -v -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -u' was successful though

Hi,

From the script name it looks like you have to run it while slapd is stopped. That's why it complains that the database is in use.

Hi,

bathory's hunch is correct: LDAP MigrationTools (see bottom of the page).

Hope this helps.

thanks for the tip guys. still getting errors though. i stopped ldap service then ran the migrate_all_offline.sh script and it gave me errors below. i remember reading that the first run will give errors but i ran this twice and still same error. i'm still unable to ssh or log into the client machine through ldap.

[root@server~]# sh /usr/share/openldap/migration/migrate_all_offline.sh
=> bdb_tool_entry_put: id2entry_add failed: DB_KEYEXIST: Key/data pair already exists (-30996)
=> bdb_tool_entry_put: txn_aborted! DB_KEYEXIST: Key/data pair already exists (-30996)
slapadd: could not add entry dn="dc=kuroi,dc=com" (line=5): txn_aborted! DB_KEYEXIST: Key/data pair already exists (-30996)
Migration failed: saving failed LDIF to /tmp/nis.ldif.lQ5812

on the client side, if i configure env LANG=C authconfig-tui to use ldap, md5, shadow and point to the ldap server, i get a "fail" trying to start autofs. if i do the manual or permanent (fstab) method, i get wrong ownership for the username when mounting server's /home directory.
