ldap export/import?

[tiger2000]

Dear All,

i'm following article from : Exporting and Importing Zimbra LDAP Data » Zimbra :: Blog for export/import LDAP data.

my environment is :
192.168.1.17 mailz.xxx.com (active , 5.0.18 oss)
192.168.1.188 mailz.xxx.com (testing, 5.0.18 oss , newly install)

and encounter some problems below:

1. when i dump LDAP data from active server, i got this warning message:

$ openldap/sbin/slapcat -f /opt/zimbra/conf/slapd.conf -l /tmp/ldap.ldif
The first database does not allow slapcat; using the first available one (2)

2. when removing openlda-data/* , i got this warning message:

$ rm -f openldap-data/*
rm: cannot remove `openldap-data/db': Is a directory
rm: cannot remove `openldap-data/logs': Is a directory

(should I remove openldap-data/db/* and openlda-data/logs/* ???)

3. when importing to "testing server" , i got this message:

$ openldap/sbin/slapadd -f /opt/zimbra/conf/slapd.conf -l /root/ldap.ldif 
The first database does not allow slapadd; using the first available one (2)
bdb_db_open: Warning - No DB_CONFIG file found in directory /opt/zimbra/openldap-data: (2)
Expect poor performance for suffix .

any advice on this?
Thanks

rm will refuse to delete directories unless you use the -R option. That post appears to be rather old, probably from the 4.5.x release, 5.0.x has a few directories within the data directory.

As for the errors I can't provide too much help there sorry
