Description of my issue

Hello :slight_smile:

My name is Frank I’m new to Linux and Yunohost and very surprised to get a mail about problems with SLAPD.

After checking the server i found that i could not restart the slapd service.

I found some tips that the service is not terminated correct but it’s not clear to me how i can fix this in the yunohost enviroment.

Here is the log:

Sounds like there’s already something using slapd’s port on the system … Not sure how this happened …

Possibly we can try to check what process with

netstat -tulpn | grep 389

Also maybe that’s another slapd service for some reason, so maybe let’s try to

pkill slapd

then attempt to re-restart the service :

systemctl restart slapd

Hello Aleks,

thanks for your help.

After killing the service and restart everything seems to work fine :slight_smile:
