Migrating OpenLDAP data from 2.4 to 2.5

au flag

I have gone through documentation online and on some forums but I am stuck on importing data from ldap 2.4 to 2.5 (Migrating to a new server as well). Here are the steps I did and the error I am receiving. (There were multiple other errors but that is fixed now

Installation that I performed for 2.5:

sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-static --enable-debug --with-tls=openssl --with-cyrus-sasl --enable-dynamic /
--enable-crypt --enable-spasswd --enable-slapd --enable-modules --enable-rlookups --enable-overlays=yes --enable-ldap=yes /
--enable-ppolicy=yes --enable-accesslog=yes --enable-mdb=yes --disable-ndb --disable-sql

Slaptest my slapd.conf file :

slaptest -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf.template -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d -u
config file testing succeeded

slaptest -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf.template -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d
config file testing succeeded

After this is completed there is some content under /etc/openldap/slapd.d, and I changed the permission to the ldap user. The content:

'cn=config'  'cn=config.ldif'

##Now I want to import my data file with slapadd. With -u (dryrun) there are no errors but without it I am receiving the following:

slapadd -n 1 -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d -l data.ldif
mdb_id2entry_put: mdb_put failed: MDB_KEYEXIST: Key/data pair already exists(-30799) "dc=test,dc=com"
=> mdb_tool_entry_put: id2entry_add failed: err=-30799
=> mdb_tool_entry_put: txn_aborted! MDB_KEYEXIST: Key/data pair already exists (-30799)
slapadd: could not add entry dn="dc=test,dc=com" (line=1): txn_aborted! MDB_KEYEXIST: Key/data pair already exists (-30799)
Closing DB...

Any suggestions please?. Thanks

It seems your DB is not empty because slapadd already fails at entry "dc=test,dc=com" which I assume to be the base DN of your DB.

Remove the old DB files and then try again.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
