slapd won't start - bind() failed errno 98

[Stephan Burkhardt <sburkhardt@debis.de>]

Hi all,

I downloaded OpenLDAP 1.2.1 today and managed to build it on my Linux
(Intel) machine - at least, the tests were successful. Then I edited the
.conf files (ldap.conf and slapd.conf) according to the man pages and
created a minimal database using ldif2ldbm.

Starting slapd, however, failed, and /var/log/messages told me this:

slapd[11431]: bind() failed errno 98 (Address already in use)

Which address is in use ?
Where could I find out ?
is there something wrong in the .conf files (attached) ?

My Linux machine's name is fedp365.sns-felb.debis.de
It's known to a name server
I'm doing everything under root.

I browsed through the archives but errno 98 was not mentioned yet.

Thanks in advance for a helpful hint
Stephan
