Fedora directory users - Oct 2005 - Consumer directory server crashes during configuring Single-Master replication in Console ("Unable to contact LDAP Server")

Hi,

Are there issues known with configuring replication?

I try to configure the read-only replica for a Single-Master
replication. Therefore I''ve deleted the original root-suffix on the
consumer(,because I will replicate this from the supplier), recreated a
new suffix, create a replication entry, and then enable the replica
checkbox on the suffix'' database in the replication folder under the
configuration tab. Then I check dedicated consumer, fill in the bind DN,
and the supplier url. When I try to save this configuration the
directory server console looses all connection to the ldap server
(message "can not connect to LDAP server", and the ldap process
terminates.

I tried this in 2 configurations: a Single-Master replication between 2
servers, and a Single-Master replication between 2 directory instances
on the same server, and in both scenarios the ldap server terminates.
What did I wrong? Should I leave the original root-suffix intact on the
consumer and do I need to define 2 different root-suffixes on the
servers? I''ve used the same root suffix on both servers.
   
Thanks in advance.

You don''t need to do this - replica initialization will do basically
the
same thing.

What messages do you see in the error log?  Access log?  Was the master 
already configured to replicate?  Was the master attempting to replicate 
when the crash occurred?
