Re: Erasing and rewriting 389

Well, I am far from an expert but if the directory server is working properly 
then your scripts have to create your DIT. If you are running a script to create 
the dc=tld,dc=dn entry and it is not being created there must be some error 
there.

Hi Patrick,

Yes, my script does the exact inverse of the procedure.

I didn't see any error while reinstalling, setup-ds-admin.pl says that all is right...

That's pretty much the steps I follow to completely remove 
a 389 DS installation.

I presume your "existing scripts" attempt to recreate your DIT. Do they 
produce any error messages?

Hi Laposte experts (French national mailing delivery)!

I'm trying some experiments some simple things on 389 ds. 
I've an existing 389 installation, with some users, groups and acls (on fedora 21), and I'm trying to uninstall, erase my existing ldap to reinstall it.

So my script is: 
* remove-ds-admin.pl -a -f -y 
* service stop (dirsrv@myldap, dirsrv-admin) 
* yum uninstall 389-* 
* rm -rf /**dirsrv*/** 
* then reinstalling with my existing script.

As it looks like a nice thing, it seems that there's a catch: my dc=tld,dc=dn subgroups are not created.

Is there something somewhere that I should be aware to be able to remove everything?

​Best regards, 
Charlie​

Hi Patrick,

dc=dn,dc=tld entry is usually created while calling that setup-ds-admin.pl
script (which is delivered with FDS), it's totally working on a new fresh
install, but not after a complete erase then reinstall: this was purpose of
the original question.

Erasing and rewriting 389

[Charlie Mordant]

Hi,

I'm really sorry, I had an ldif2ldap script that were called between the
erase and the import...

Thank you to have tried to help, that issue is solved ;).
However, the yum erase script should also remove **/*dirsrv|slapd stuff...

Best regards, keep on keeping users data safe!
