and I am encouraged to consult the forum or the chat.
The further message is “Service slapd is not running but is required to perform this action … You can try to investigate what’s happening with ‘systenctl status slapd’”
But I do not know how to do that.
Just before things went wrong I had uploaded a theme for the PluXml (it did work for a while) by using FileZilla. In order to be able to use FileZilla I changed ownershio of var:
< chown -R my_admin_user: var >
(I did it first without the colon, which worked while I was logged into the server (via ssh in terminal. Shortly aft er it did not work anymore, and I added the colon - not really knowing if that would make a difference. But worked. At least for a short while)
I do not recall the exact detail of what I did the second when things broke down, but I was adding content to a blog post.
Any ideas of how to solve this?
E.g. how can I "investigate what’s happening with systemctl status slapd’?
Through a browser, I seem to bi ‘in’ the server, but I cannot see any apps. In fact it states that there are no apps installed.
Going through ssh via terminal I just get a “Permission denied, please try again.” I also cannot connect through FileZilla (which makes good sense cf. I can’t access through ssh).
Even YH now states that there are no apps installed, some of them work. E.g., just before this ‘crash’ I installed PluXml (a flat CMS to build lightweight websites easily without database) and the blog post I made for testing is actually accessible. Also, my collabora server another blog I have (using my_webapp) work.
By the way, I have tried to restart the server in two ways., First through Hetzner’s web console, secondly from the terminal, when I had access via ssh.
It is so long time ago I installed this, that I don’t remember, how exactly I did. As far as I can recall, I only have one user, which is my admin.
Still, following your advice, I logged in as root with my admin-user’s password, and that worked. I am in
I have now uninstalled the PluXml app. I cannot know for sure that that was the problem, but I do not want it anyway. I could remove it using yunohost app remove, but when I tried yunohost app remove --purge I was told the something could not be done because of slapd not running.
I am now trying to uninstall dokuwiki, which I also do not want, but again I get the same error message as when first ran systemctl start slapd above:
Job for slapd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See “systemctl status slapd.service” and “journalctl -xeu slapd.service” for details.
That’s very bad.
This folder should be owned by root:root. Inside it, the folder mail should be owned by root:mail and inside it, all the folders should be owned by vmail:mail. The www subfolders are owned by their respective system user apps.
You should fix the ldap issue before.
If you ever have a snapshot of your server, it would be much easier to fix
