Well, it depends - what were you using nsslapd-instancedir for?  There
are several other attributes you could use now, depending on what you're
trying to do.
I was using nsslapd-instancedir to as the ref point on where to put the
changelog db files.  Which by default in the console (1.1+)
is /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE/changelog.
If you want the changelog directory, use nsslapd-directory, and see
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/cli/8.0/Configuration_Command
_File_Reference-Plug_in_Implemented_Server_Functionality_Reference-Database_
Plug_in_Attributes.html#Configuration_Command_File_Reference-Database_Attrib
utes_under_cnconfig_cnldbm_database_cnplugins_cnconfig-nsslapd_directory

when you grab that attribute, just replace /db$ with /cldb to construct
the changelog directory.


Roger that, got it working with
	##############################
	# find the instance-dir
	##############################
	$msg = $ldap->search (
                          base    => "cn=config, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config",
			  scope   => "sub",
                          filter  => "(objectClass=*)",
                         );

	my $instance_dir = $msg->entry(0)->get_value("nsslapd-directory");
	if (!defined($instance_dir)) {
		print "Unable to determine the instancedir,  pretty big issue,  puking\n";
		exit 1;
	}
	$instance_dir =~ s/\/db//;
I would suggest using \/db$, but otherwise, yes, that's it. It's not really an instance dir anymore, more like a database instance dir - you will find under there the db dir, the changelog db dir, the default ldif db export dir, and the default db backup dir.
Thanks Rich.
