For now I'm useing nsslapd-ldifdir and just ~ s//ldif// to cut off the
ldir directory, but am just confirming this behavior is intended. FWIW
I built the packages myself, so it could very well be my own fault :P


Well, it depends - what were you using nsslapd-instancedir for? There
are several other attributes you could use now, depending on what you're
trying to do.




I was using nsslapd-instancedir to as the ref point on where to put the
changelog db files. Which by default in the console (1.1+)
is /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE/changelog.

If you want the changelog directory, use nsslapd-directory, and see
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/cli/8.0/Configuration_Command_File_Reference-Plug_in_Implemented_Server_Functionality_Reference-Database_Plug_in_Attributes.html#Configuration_Com mand_File_Reference-Database_Attributes_under_cnconfig_cnldbm_database _cnplugins_cnconfig-nsslapd_directory


when you grab that attribute, just replace /db$ with /cldb to construct
the changelog directory.


But I couldn't find any attributes that would just point
to /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE/. Which was what I assumed
nsslapd-instancedir was for.

No. Fedora 1.0 put everything under /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-instance - so
there was a single "instance" directory. Fedora DS 1.1 is FHS-ified -
see http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FHS_Packaging
I guess when I was working on the script for 1.0.4 it just happened to be set
to the correct location so I used that value.

Roger that, got it working with

##############################
# find the instance-dir
##############################
$msg = $ldap->search (
base => "cn=config, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config",
scope => "sub",
filter => "(objectClass=*)",
);

my $instance_dir = $msg->entry(0)->get_value("nsslapd-directory");
if (!defined($instance_dir)) {
print "Unable to determine the instancedir, pretty big issue, puking
";
exit 1;
}
$instance_dir =~ s//db//;

Thanks Rich.

I would suggest using /db$, but otherwise, yes, that's it. It's not
really an instance dir anymore, more like a database instance dir - you
will find under there the db dir, the changelog db dir, the default ldif
db export dir, and the default db backup dir.

Thanks Rich.
