the Answer 4 is useful,thank you very much.in this solution ,DB_CONFIG.example is in the directory where your ldap intalled.and default is /etc/openldap,the /var/lib/ldap is the directory you had set in the file \'slapd.conf\'

Answer 1984 (66.666664% helpful)

you might get this error if you didn't set the default directory path in slapd.conf (even if it's in /var/lib/ldap).
The error message is quite misleading because it explicitly state the directory path but doesn't actually appear to be looking at it...

On CentOS 6:

cp /usr/share/doc/openldap-servers-2.4.19/DB_CONFIG.example /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG
chown ldap:ldap /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG
service slapd restart

Also for CentOS 5.2:

1) cp /etc/openldap/DB_CONFIG.example /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG

2) chown ldap:ldap /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG

3) service ldap restart
Note, you will get this warning:
    bdb_db_open: Recovery skipped in read-only mode. Run manual recovery if errors are encountered.
    config file testing succeeded

4) service ldap restart
And now there will be no errors.

CentOs Solution works :)

Fedora 10 x86_64 worked...
cp /usr/share/doc/openldap-servers-2.4.12/DB_CONFIG.example /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG
chown ldap:ldap /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG
service ldap restart

Fedora 14 x86_64 works as well

Answer 453 (88.23529% helpful)

Here is what resolved the issue for me on Redhat 5:

1) cp /etc/openldap/DB_CONFIG.example /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG

2) chown ldap.ldap /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG

3) /etc/init.d/ldap stop && /etc/init.d/ldap start
Note, you will get a bdb related warning the first time - it\'s safe to ignore.

4) Perform step 3 again and this time it will start up correctly with no errors or warnings.
