[Fedora-directory-users] Slapd Crash and wont start up again
Hello All,
Had a power outage this morning. When the system came back up the slapd
would not start. I found the following in the error log:
Fedora-Directory/1.0.2 B2006.060.1928
landin.cs.ou.edu:636 (/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-landin)

[04/Jul/2008:16:17:37 -0500] - WARNING: ldbm instance NetscapeRoot

Any ideas on how I can fix this? This is a replica and fortunately the
master is ok. Would it be possible to simply copy the db directory from
the master and drop it on this replica?
Happy Fourth!
TIA

Please search DBVERSION files in your db directory. There is one in the db dir, and one in each backend directory (e.g., userRoot). Open the file and if the content is not "Netscape-ldbm/7.0", replace the content with the string. If other db files are not corrupted, your replica would start without the database version mismatch error. (You may still want to run replica initialization to make sure the replica is healthy.) If it still does not start, you have to recover the replica. As you asked, you could "copy" the master db to the replica, but there are some steps to follow. If your master and the replica have the same backend configuration, you could copy the directory EXCEPT __db.* files. If they don''t, you could make a back up on the master with "db2bak", then restore on the replica server just the backend to be replicated. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/cli/8.0/Configuration_Command_File_Reference-Command_Line_Scripts-Shell_Scripts.html#Configuration_Command_File_Reference-Shell_Scripts-bak2db_Restore_database_from_backup Hopefully, it recovers your replica. Thanks, --noriko

Many Thanks Norkio, I was able to edit the DBVERSION file, and luckily it started right up. My current methods of backing up using just a baisc tar command trned out to have corrupt tarfiles when I tried to extract. I am going to look into using the db2bak command for sure. Thanks again! --jim Noriko Hosoi wrote:> Jim Summers wrote: >> Hello All, >> >> Had a power outage this morning. When the system came back up the >> slapd would not start.
