Hello Brian,

As I was using a development server, I decided to purge M23 and start
again. Before I started the new server for the first time, I edited
config.ldif and changed all the references for "example" to suit my own
partition. When I ran my first admin ldapsearch, the server created my
empty partition (and not the example one). I subsequently had no difficulty
running my first few 1.5.4 customisation scripts.
Did I use the most suitable technique to create my partition under M23? Is
the best technique already documented somewhere, because I couldn't find it
in my searches? Should the best procedure be documented in the "adding
partition" page of the wiki? Can I do it, or must it be done by someone
with special access privileges?
We also deploy apacheds 2 M23 on ubuntu (14 and 16). We use the same trick
to create our own partition.
That is reassuring, so thank you for letting me know Louis-Gabriel.
Just to be clear, did you mean you did not find a way to create a
partition /after/ config.ldif has been "migrated"?
We did encounter an issue when the OS sends SIGKILL to apacheds; the jdbm
database becomes corrupted and makes apacheds unable to start again. That
is very unfortunate.
Under ubuntu 14 we update-rc and add apacheds to system services. We had to
add apacheds' pid to /run/sendsigs.omit.d and make the system wait on
apacheds stop sequence. Otherwise after 10 seconds sendsigs SIGKILLs
everything.
Under ubuntu 16 we increased systemd stop delay.
Hope this helps others as well.
Thanks for warning me! I will be careful to check restart behaviour when
the server is stopped.
Regards,
Brian
