I encountered a similar issue. I got it when creating an index with the vlvindex command, which was apparently not correct. The index creation failed with a segfault and after that I could not start the server anymore. I was also unable to do deletion of the index, since ldap was not up. The error log showed also the rebuilding the database, with no percentages following. I also tried deleting the vlv named file I found somewhere, with no succes. Finally because of time pressure I just started over (by removing everything with remove-ds-admin.pl). I did find some selinux entry : SELinux is preventing /bin/bash from search access on the directory /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-asahi/db/userRoot. This might have been a cause for the issue, but I am unsure. I think this situation should somehow be fixable, but I had no clue how. Now I am off doing a reinstall and a re-import. Hope this helps anyone, if anyone knows what to do, please post :). -- 389 users mailing list 389-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/389-users
