recovering ldap problems

[Terabyte]

Hi,

I’m having severe problems with my zeroshell system,

now when i switch it on I get:

activating swap file… [ok]
starting x.509 certification authority…. [ok]
starting ldap daemon….
recovering ldap db

and here it stops, and waits………

This has happened before on a brand new install that

Have I forgotten to configure something?

I note this:

I had this issue after trying to reset the admin password – ZeroShell web interface locked up and after a reboot got stuck at “Recovering LDAP DB”.
In case anyone still having this issue, I fixed mine as follows:

Boot to any Live CD.
Mount the partition with the affected configuration.
cd /mnt/sda1/_DB.001/var/openldap-data
sudo mkdir bak
sudo mv __.db.00* ./bak/
sudo reboot

ZeroShell reboots okay but not sure what part of LDAP configuration is affected.
