Enable clear text login - Server error encountered

[czaveri]

I noticed that the line that was added earlier had disappeared from includes in slapd.conf. So I added the line again, and restarted ldap. This time ldap did not start and emitted the following error.
[root@zimbra ~]# /opt/zimbra/bin/ldap stop

[root@zimbra ~]# /opt/zimbra/bin/ldap start

It should have been:
include "/opt/zimbra/lib/conf/zimbra-hsm.schema"
but I had mentioned:
include "/opt/zimbra/ib/conf/zimbra-hsm.schema"
Will try proceed as per your directions and post feedback once done.

[czaveri]

Dear marcmac,
Success!
Thank-you very much for these directions and time. It was the spelling...
Sincerely,

Great problem report - I especially like the way you include the install platform, install version, install method, and where you are in the install process. Makes it really easy for us to figure out what happened.
