Modifying OpenLDAP ldif file throwing an error, but successfully configure?

Question

I was configuring OpenLDAP on my Fedora 17. When doing this slaptest, I got this output:

50f16531 hdb_db_open: warning - no DB_CONFIG file found in directory /var/lib/ldap: (2).
Expect poor performance for suffix "dc=my-domain,dc=com".
config file testing succeeded

I fixed that problem by modifying that string into my own domain name locate at slapd.d/cn=config/olcDatabase={2}hdb.ldif. When I do this slaptest again, I got this output:

50f16987 ldif_read_file: checksum error on "/etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config/olcDatabase={2}hdb.ldif"
50f16987 hdb_db_open: warning - no DB_CONFIG file found in directory /var/lib/ldap: (2).
Expect poor performance for suffix "dc=huahsin,dc=org".
config file testing succeeded

May I know does this mean the test has been successfully being configured?

Answer 1

It's been successfully configured, there's just no DB_CONFIG file. You probably have a DB_CONFIG.example file somewhere that you forgot to copy into /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG, set the correct permissions on, and edit to suit your configuration.
