Re: Request for short term help with Openldap 2.1.25 -- will pay $$

I've had similar very strange problems with openldap where I could start it fine from the command line in debug mode but not from system init scripts. Turned out to be the user I was starting openldap as did not have full read/write access to the backend database, but when I started it from command line as root I wasn't specifying a user to run as so it ran as root -- which had the correct permissions. Seems like a simple thing but it did take a few hours to track down as there were no log entries or warnings indicating this was happening. I'm pretty sure this was on a redhat server but it may have been solaris 8.

Hope that is some help.

Regards
Luke

I posted a message yesterday regarding a failure in my system.  I am
convinced it is a configuration/environment issue, but I cannot easily
resolve it, and I don't have the time to figure it out right now.

I will pay a minimum of $100 for up to one hour of assistance, with $75/hr
thereafter for someone to straighten this out.  Please send me your "bid,"
ie.  what you think you can do for me.

I will give you SSH access and temporary root to debug and fix.

The particulars of the problem are in the attachment.

Chris

Seg fault on make test on RH 7.3 using 2.1.21

I can't get past the make test portion of the software installation.   I
need to get this working for a project, so any help would be appreciated.
Having used OpenLDAP in the past, I am not a newbie, but I am far from an
expert.  I used LDAP with Perl to run a few applications.  I am trying to do
the same with a JSP/Java app, but the software is several releases newer
than the last time I used it.

Installed:

BDB 4.1.25 (High Encryption option)
openldap 2.1.21

Machine:

RH 7.3 (all pertinent updated applied)
Dual Athalon
1 GB of Ram.
Version 2.96 of GCC
Linux 2.4.20-18.7smp #1 SMP Thu May 29 06:44:21 EDT 2003 i686

Tests I tried:

* Shut off ipchains and xinetd (rebooted to make sure it was clean)
* Built 2.1.15 with the same result
* Tried to build 2.0.9, but I believe it requires an older version of BDB
and died in the make phase.

Results:

During make test, slapd fails to start with a seg fault in the test000
script.  I get a failure after an install and I attempted to start the
daemon directly.

Relevant entries from slapd.conf:

include         /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
pidfile         /usr/local/var/slapd.pid
argsfile        /usr/local/var/slapd.args
database        bdb
suffix          "dc=chrisweiss.com,dc=com"
rootdn          "cn=chris,dc=chrisweiss,dc=com"
rootpw    <<< A hash
directory       /usr/local/var/openldap-data
index   objectClass     eq

The attached file is the strace from trying to start the daemon.  It comes
up and goes down *without* a seg fault.  It complained about the following
issues:
