From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17-14 i686) Description of problem: I'm setting up a main server with a replica server. The updates are not sent to the replica server. After a bit of investigation I discovered the following: slapd creates the replog file (/usr/tmp/slapd.replog), and this file is copied to /var/lib/ldap/replica/slurpd.replog, but slurpd does not send it. Manually starting the servers with debug option on, I saw that slurpd was reading correctly the file but was saying "not mine". After checking the format, I discover that the first line is missing. The replog format should be: 1) first line with "replica: machine:port" (or more than one line if there are more than one replica 2) line with the timestamp 3) body of the modification (several lines) In my case the file starts with the timestamp. I tried adding the line by hand and restarting the daemon and this time the modification was done on the replica. I don't know if the problem is in slurpd "forgetting" the line or in slurpd chopping the line when it copies the file. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.set up a main server and a replica server 2.populate the main 3.copy the db files to the replica 4.restart both server 5.try to modify something in the main server. You will see that the replica still has the old data Actual Results: You will find the replica server without the modifications done in step 5. Expected Results: You should have found the new data Additional info: As I sai before, to me the problem seems to be in the format of the replog file (even if I don't know if it is produced wrong or if something happens later on). Just to be more complete: I'm using two PCs with i686. On both of them RH7.1 has been installed from scratch. From the point of view of the severity of the bug I'm not sure if it should be considered a security problem or not
I suspect you have a configuration problem. Replicas are associated with particular databases, so if you're using a single LDBM database (as the default supplied configuration file does), you need to place the replica directive after the database directive. Marking as WORKSFORME because I made this exact mistake when attempting to reproduce the reported bug, and reording the directives in slapd.conf fixes it.
