I have successfully migrated ldap to use back-bdb, thanks Matt i followed the steps which you have suggested and it worked :) However, at first run slapd starting without giving any error or warning but when i stop/start it using 'service ldap restart' it gives me weird warnings/errors.... Checking configuration files for slapd: bdb_db_open: unclean shutdown detected; attempting recovery. bdb_db_open: Recovery skipped in read-only mode. Run manual recovery if errors are encountered. bdb(dc=awpdc,dc=com): PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery bdb_db_open: Database cannot be opened, err -30974. Restore from backup! bdb(dc=awpdc,dc=com): DB_ENV->lock_id_free interface requires an environment configured for the locking subsystem backend_startup_one: bi_db_open failed! (-30974) slap_startup failed (test would succeed using the -u switch) Running 'db_recover' solved this problem, now slapd stopping/starting working fine without any warning or errors. Thanks guys I greatly appreciate all your help and support. Regards, Askar
