HI,

I am trying to install OpenLDAP server on Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 (AS) .

I am using openldap-stable-20080813.tgz package downloaded from openldap.org site. Before that as the pre-requisites I have installed cyrus-sasl-2.1.22.tar.gz for SASL libraries, db-4.2.52.tar.gz for Berkeley DB, openssl-0.9.8j.tar.gz for OpenSSL.

The first error I got while installing the OpenLDAP is when using the "make depend". It says that "The LDAP server can't be found".

I thought may be it is the problem with the DNS resolving, so I have installed it and then it worked fine. But later, again it says that the "Berkeley-DB version is not accepted."

Upon ignoring all these errors, I have installed the OpenLDAP and configured the slapd.conf file,

and when I say ldapsearch -x -d5 , i get the following error:

ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1).


I hope I will get a answer soon.

Thanks and Regards,
eshwar..
