389-ds - issue after reboot

[Danduri]

Hi,

After installing the 389 server and admin, which worked well, a rebooting will not bring up the DS. Looking the error log, it shows the user 'nobody' have issue with permission on /var/run/dirsrv. After doing a chmod 777 on the dir, now if the server is started/restarted I always get the following error:

"Shutting down due to possible conflicts with other slapd processes"

running with -d 1 option gave me

Problem accessing the lockfile /var/lock/dirsrv/slapd-xxx/lock

I am unable to proceed after that. Pointers on where to look is appreciated.

PS: I don't have any other ldap server running nor have any other instance of slapd running.
OS: fc17 64 bit

Solved! The 'dirsrv' in the lock path didn't have the permission for the DS user. Changed its owner and gave others read execut permission, my 2 day problem got solved Still I dont understand why this issue will crop up only when rebooted.
