Hello All, I hope you can forgive a request which I am sure doesn't have enough information in it, please let me know what else I can add if you might be able to help. I have a problem with our installation of RHDS9 and practically nothing in the logs to suggest where to look. We have a multi-master pair, with DNS round robin to load balance. Due to the problem I have updated DNS to point all traffic to the working server so I hope I can get this working again without impacting the users. But while I don't know the reason I'm concerned it may occur on the working server and prevent all logins. :( We first noticed that replication was not working, now it seems that I can't get slapd to start on one of the pair. Have restarted both dirsrv and both servers. There is woefully little in the log files, but if there is a way to increase logging levels I haven't found it yet. If there is, please advise and I'll do that and post. This is the info I have gathered so far. Please let me know what else might help. /usr/sbin/ns-slapd -v 389 Project 389-Directory/1.2.11.15 B2013.211.1952 dirsrv dir01 is stopped There is no: /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-dir01.pid # service dirsrv start *** Error: 1 instance(s) failed to start The start-up runs the wait loop and finally exists, with the message above. errors log includes the message: [01/Oct/2013:12:14:47 +0100] - 389-Directory/1.2.11.15 B2013.211.1952 starting up [01/Oct/2013:12:14:47 +0100] - WARNING: userRoot: entry cache size 10485760B is less than db size 10739712B; We recommend to increase the entry cache size nsslapd-cachememsize.

I recognise that we need to tune the cache, but don't believe that it will cause the start-up failure, just a performance hit. To tune via the console I suspect I have to get it running first! The working server shows the same error, along with: [01/Oct/2013:12:16:26 +0100] slapi_ldap_bind - Error: could not send bind request for id [cn=repman,cn=config] mech [SIMPLE]: error -1 (Can't contact LDAP server) 0 (unknown) 107 (Transport endpoint is not connected) Which makes sense. The logs errors and access provide no other content at all, so nothing to indicate what is failing. Any ideas where I might start will be greatly welcomed. Many thanks, Ric. -- 389 users mailing list 389-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/389-users
