Hi Klaus,

thx for your reply.

I checked ownership and permissions on /var/lib/ldap:
francesco@bob:/var/lib$ ls -l | grep ldap
drwxr-xr-x   5 openldap      openldap      4096 2009-06-15 17:03 ldap

that are only the permissions of the directoy
 /var/lib/ldap

maybe, You accidently changed the owner of the files in the directory ?
So whats the output of
 ls -l var/lib/ldap/*
?
is that the directory, You spcified in Your slapd-config-file ?



while the two subdirs I'm trying to place bdb data files and logs have:
francesco@bob:/var/lib$ ls -l ldap
[...]
drwxr-xr-x 2 openldap openldap    4096 2009-06-14 18:39 bdbdata
drwxr-xr-x 2 openldap openldap    4096 2009-06-14 18:39 bdblogs
[...]

the same as above:
 ls -l var/lib/ldap/bdbdata/
 ls -l var/lib/ldap/bdblogs/

Greetings
Klaus



During test, I also tried to change permissions on bdbdata and bdblogs to 775 and even 777: but I had no success in getting bdb log.0000000001 accessible when placed in bdblogs.

I'm running short of ideas... I'm even wondering if someone else had similar problems when trying to set different dir for data files and logs...

see you
fra

Hi Francesco,

likely the files in
/var/lib/ldap/
have the wrong owner (root?).

chown -R openldap:openldap /var/lib/ldap
should solve Your problem.

Greetings
Klaus
