1.3 usersandgroups failure

[peterr]

thanks for the hint about the init.d file - it has gone and so has that error 

The password bit has me confused though
I entered a password for admin user for ldap during installation and this is what I used in the users config before trying to activate the module.
I can access the ldap server with phpldapadmin using this password but the slave does not seem to.
I have just looked in /var/lib/ebox/conf/ebox-ldap.passwd (master server) and what is there is not what I entered.  I have just tried to activate the slave using this password instead but it is unable to connect using that one either.
I am not in work tomorrow so I will have another try on thursday - I may well try and remove usersandgroups from both machines and start again and see what happens. (unless you suggest something different I could try)

Decided to start over so I tried this (from JACalvo)
sudo apt-get -y --force-yes remove --purge libldap-2.4-2 slapd ebox-.*
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/ldap* && sudo rm -rf /etc/ldap/*
sudo apt-get -y --force-yes remove --purge libebox ebox
I then deleted the folders not removed as not empty i.e.
/usr/share/ebox and /usr/share/perl5/EBox
sudo updatedb and locate ebox found these which I also removed
/var/lib/ebox
/var/lib/ebox-usersandgroups
/var/log/ebox-usersandgroups
/etc/ebox

I guess this is pretty close to a clean install
sudo apt-get install ebox-webserver ebox-software ebox-monitor ebox-usersandgroups
was chugging along fine until it did this

after which everything fell over due to ebox not being configured (apache was left up and running and so was postgreql)

Any ideas where to go next?

OK when I started typing this I was still out of luck but I have been trying things and entering the result as I have gone along (without posting) - as you will see from the very end of this post it is now working 

I have reinstalled ubuntu8.04 server on two boxes - they are totally up to date
I installed ebox - that worked on both with no errors
I then installed ebox-usersandgroups on both boxes with absolutely nothing else
It worked but with errors

 * Restarting eBox module: network 

I was prompted for and entered a password for ldap administrator (set to the same on both boxes)
apparmor is not installed on either box and /etc/init.d/apparmor has been deleted from both boxes
I set one box up as an ldap master but entered no users at this stage
I have tried to set up the other box as slave but no luck - it won't recognise the ldap password.
I have tried with the ldap admin password I entered on install, I have tried with the one in /var/lib/eboxconf/ebox-ldap.passwd (typed in and copied and pasted from this file) - each time i try to activate it fails with a password error
I have tried with the firewall enabled on both boxes (both set to accept for ldap rule) and with the firewall disabled on both boxes
FINALLY I entered a user into the master then activated the slave (ebox-ldap.passwd) with both firewalls active and ldap accepted on both.
IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(and I can now see the user I entered on the master in the edit user bit of the slave)
      
I hope this excursion down a lot of mysterious blind alleys helps anyone else who finds themselves stuck (or provides some entertainment to the smug)
I have no idea what broke (or what I broke) in the begining or at various stages along the way
but thanks to all those who gave assistance.

Failed to enable: Can't connect to master eBox at 1.1.1.11

So I tried this:

root@main:/var/backups/ebox# telnet 1.1.1.11 389
Trying 1.1.1.11...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

In the eBox config, I actually have  389 open in 1.1.1.11. When it was set to deny, and anytime I tried to enable usersandgroups in the slave, it would take forever and then say it couldn't connect. Once I enabled that port in the firewall in the master, it now says "Failed to enable: Can't connect to master eBox at 1.1.1.11" immediately.

I tried disabling the port again, no fix. I dunno what's going on. The password's right apparently.

Update, I did that purge script on the master machine and now:

I get that on the slave when trying to enable the module. Thing is, that file doesn't even exist!

[Saturn2888]

Ok, I found something. That issue I'm getting when enabling the Users and Groups module is that there's a permission problem with /var/lib/ebox/conf/ssl/master.cert. I discovered on neither server, has that file so I wonder if I need to first enable the certificate manager or not. Did I miss something important?

[Saturn2888]

I fixed my issue by the way. I figured out a few things master/slave-related.
