[Fedora-directory-users] Creating backup LDAP server.

[John Oliver]

Since I figured I was pretty well screwed anyway, I deleted
/etc/dirsrv/slapd-unix-services2 and re-ran setup-ds-admin.pl  To my
amazement, it was able to complete successfully!  It went all the way
through, create an adm.conf and other files, etc.  I was able to log in
to the web admin screen.

So, I ran /usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd-unix-services2/bak2db to restore the
database I'd copied over.  That looked very promising, but there were
two points where it said it was deleting an attribute of unix-services2
and then adding one for unix-services, which is the other, live machine.
After that, clicking on Fedora Administration Express gave me an error.
I just went back to copy-and-paste it, but now I get an Internal Server
Error, and /var/log/httpd is empty.

Since I seemed to make some progress, I stopped dirsrv, deleted
/etc/dirsrv/slapd-unix-services2 and re-ran setup-ds-admin.pl  When it
was done, I could get in to the admin interface again, only now it shows
me slapd-unix-services and slapd-unix-services2  So, I'm not sure if
that's progress or not.

I want to wind up with a working backup of slapd-unix-services so if
that machine takes a crap, I can just bring up an interface with it's IP
address on slapd-unix-services2 and keep LDAP authentication working
while I puzzle out what went wrong on the first server.
