[Fedora-directory-users] help....unable to start fedora server

[Steven Jones]

Not knowing a huge amount about FDS/LDAP....I'd start with checking the
OS. Eg.,

 

[17/Sep/2007:20:52:06 -0500] - Please make sure there is enough disk
space for dbcache (10485760 bytes) and db region files



Suggests to me to check the filesystem with df -h to make sure there is
space left....possibly there is a core dump or something that needs
deleting...rare in Linux but not known on Solaris....

 

Or maybe some mount point failed to mount as the OS considered it too
damaged....make sure all the filespaces are mounted...

 

Beyond this I cannot help, sorry.

 

Making no backups or at least not exporting the database is hopefully
something you will not do again....

 

regards

Hi all,
I'm certainly in deep s*&#t now. I just updated my file-server with new
updates and patches and tried to reboot it; but it hanged: reason -
Kernel Panic. So I had to shutdown the system manually and had to run
'fsck' manually afterwards. Everything seemed to run well afterwards.
But today evening I found that  I was not able to connect my pc to
file-server. When I checked, it turns out that 'slapd' daemon wasn't
started at all. I manually tried to start the server using the scripts
(in /rc.d/init.d ) but got an error. Here's an error logged in log
file:

As all the client machines depend upon this server for authentication
and as weekend is still far away, I'm in big trouble now. I'm quite
clueless what to do and would really appreciate any kind of help. And
no, unfortunately I don't have a backup to fall back to . 

Thanking you in advance
