#830 Unable to open config database
Closed: Invalid Opened by amcnabb.

Reopen Issue

I just installed Fedora 15 Alpha, and sssd isn't starting. To track down the problem, I've tried running sssd by hand, and I get the error:

(Wed Mar 23 12:31:45 2011) [sssd] [confdb_init] (0): Unable to open config database [/var/lib/sss/db/config.ldb]
(Wed Mar 23 12:31:45 2011) [sssd] [load_configuration] (0): The confdb initialization failed

Is this a bug in sssd or an error in the RPM? Or am I doing something wrong? I'm using the same config file that I've been using in Fedora 14, and I haven't changed any files in /var/lib. What else should I try?

Make sure you were running SSSD as root. Only root has permission to read config.ldb.

Also, that can sometimes mean that your config file cannot be parsed; check that you didn't make a mistake there. (Feel free to attach it to this ticket, after sanitizing).

Hmm. It looks like this might be caused by a bug in systemd: apparently /tmp is mounted read-only. I'll take this up over there. Sorry for the noise--it took me a while to figure out what was going wrong. I'll reopen this if I continue to find problems.
