Here is what I remember about the upgrade:
I got the upgrade done but it wasn't smooth. No fault of the software
I'm sure, just my lack of LDAP experience.
# now, take a look at the file diffs, and edit your config/dse.ldif
with any pertinent changes in diffs
./start-slapd
It wouldn't restart at this point. I think it was due to having, prior
to the upgrade, performed the steps in the SSL and Samba How-to's. I
removed my changes to the new dse.ldif and started slapd. I think I
also had to remove the files that I restored to the alias directory.
cd /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-host2
./stop-slapd
./bak2db /var/backup/fds
./start-slapd
This part went well. I then restored the old 61samba.ldif to the schema
directory and at that point stuff was mostly working properly, except
for logging into the web admin wouldn't work. I had to loosen up the
permissions on the directory /opt/fedora-ds/bin/slapd/authck to get that
working.
One remaining weird thing that I've found. To run the Java "Console"
tool I change directory to /opt/fedora-ds and run ./startconsole and
login. When I do that, the console is empty. There is nothing at all
listed in "Servers and Applications". It is just bare. However, when I
cd into
/opt/fedora-ds/$fedora-ds_some_backup_that_I_made_prior_to_the_upgrade,
run the ./startconsole command and connect to the same host on the same
port with the same credentials, it looks as I expect it to look, listing
my domain name, host name, server group, etc. So for now I'm just
running startconsole from the old backup folder.
Thanks for the help.
