LDAP Unable to start openldap for windows

Question

I watched youtube online as reference to install openldap on windows,

I also followed the tutorial on zytrax.com

C:\OpenLDAP>slaptest -f slapd.conf -F slapd.d

5c9eec00 using config directory slapd.d, error 0 config file testing succeeded

there is this part "Conversion to slapd.d is trivial. After modifying the slapd.conf file as required simply create a new directory/folder called slapd.d. Open a command line (dos box for us oldies), navigate to c:\OpenLDAP (or wherever you put your installation) and enter:" in which I don't understand, what do I need to configure in slapd.conf

C:\OpenLDAP>slapd -d 8 -h "ldaps://localhost/ ldap://localhost/"
5c9ef038 OpenLDAP 2.4.42 Standalone LDAP Server (slapd)daemon: bind(2) failed errno=10013 (WSAEACCES)
5c9ef038 daemon: bind(3) failed errno=10013 (WSAEACCES)
5c9ef038 slapd stopped.
5c9ef038 connections_destroy: nothing to destroy.

How do I get my ldapserver to start running ?

Answer 1

I had the same issue and my issue was that the ports were already open by another service. Try specifying other ports when starting the slapd server.

slapd -d 8 -h "ldaps://localhost:6866/ ldap://localhost:3899/"
