LDAP Crashing

Over the last couple of months I've been having an issue with one of my LDAP servers. A few times a week the LDAP service crashes, the mail system carries on because my backup server picks everything. But I am getting paged at 1AM a few time a week and it is very frustrating. When I upgraded the servers last time I was hoping it would resolve the issue, it did for a couple of weeks, but after a while it started to get worse and it is almost a daily occurrence now. I have attached the log file from the ldap server, any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I have the same issue which started after I upgrade to 5.x.

After debugging I found that the zimbra-openldap version 2.3.41 was calling the ldap libraries from the Linux distribution /usr/lib/libldap2.2*, which I suspect is what cause the ldap to crash.

Unfortunately, in my case I couldn’t uninstall the libraries, since we use them for our own authentication. So, I ended with writing a script that will restart zimbra-ldap when it dies :(.

I hope this help.

I hope this help.[/QUOTE]It shouldn't be using those libraries, did you file a bug report about the problem? Which operating system is this?
