opensuse 13.2: openldap fails to start

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Hi,

I’m out of ideas now, so maybe someone here can help me. This is an upgraded system (from 13.1) with an openldap server. The problem is that systemd somehow fails to detect that the server is started and kills it after a 30 seconds timeout. There is not much info:

slapd.service - OpenLDAP Server Daemon
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/slapd.service; enabled)
Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Do 2015-03-05 15:56:43 CET; 47min ago
Process: 23346 ExecStart=/usr/lib/openldap/start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

It’s likely some configuration or permission problem on my side, but I failed to debug this. Any ideas?

Hi,

the problem is service type forking in /usr/lib/systemd/system/slapd.service. Comment it out and slapd should start.
