[ecologist09]

Hi all,

Our system has been running for the better part of two years. After a power outage today i am getting the following:

slapd runs for a few seconds then quits:

root@zimbra:~# ps -ef | grep slap

Turned out to be a corrupted ldap database. I had to run the ldap startup command by hand. Then when i saw that it was corrupted i had to restore from on old backup.

I followed this for the restore:

solved-ldap-slapd-database-environment-corrupt-issue-solutionl

EXCEPT that after creating the new directory, restoring the data with slapadd i had to create the logs directory by hand before everything would start up again.

Back in business.
