[Bug 450645] Re: error during slapd configuration: chown: cannot access `olcDbDirectory\nolcDbDirectory'

[Ross Golder]

I have the same problem on one of our servers. I don't have backup files
in the config area:

root at leopard:/etc/ldap/slapd.d# grep olcDbDirectory: /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn\=config/olcDatabase*
/etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config/olcDatabase={1}hdb.ldif:olcDbDirectory: /var/lib/ldap
/etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config/olcDatabase={2}monitor.ldif:olcDbDirectory: /var/lib/ldap
/etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn=config/olcDatabase={3}ldap.ldif:olcDbDirectory: /var/lib/ldap
root at leopard:/etc/ldap/slapd.d# grep olcSuffix: /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn\=config/olcDatabase*
