Hallo, the problem could be gentoo specific so i am asking on the devel list. some infos on the system: apr-utils are build against mozldap (not openldap) so also apache is build against mozldap the dirsrv-admin initscript is only a modified apache intiscript (no LD_PRELOAD ) the error i am facing is: cat /var/log/dirsrv/admin-serv/error [Wed Jan 21 16:14:45 2009] [crit] do_admserv_post_config(): unable to create AdmldapInfo Configuration Failed [Wed Jan 21 16:20:48 2009] [crit] do_admserv_post_config(): unable to create AdmldapInfo Configuration Failed thx in av Mario -- Fedora-directory-devel mailing list Fedora-directory-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-devel
