Directory Service Crashing

I am having the same issue, what is up apple? Having LDAP crash is not really server class material. I am running 10.5.1

Same here... really hoping for major updates to AFP and OD in 10.5.2...

I'm having this same problem as well and have also tried various setups / fresh installs.

My Server is crashing too many times a day.
Nobody can login after the crash since i restart the Server.

Hi

Time Machine does not work and should not be used in Advanced Configuration.

Hope this helps, Tony

Just re-reading my last post and it may be seen by some as if I've said 'Time Machine does not work'. This is not the case, what I mean is Time Machine should not be used in Advanced mode because it does not work or is not supported. I hope this clears this up.

Hope this helps, Tony

Hi Luda,

Our system is the same. Whenever DirectoryService crashes, I have to stop and restart AFP before logins can work again for shares. I am trying my best to trace the causes of the crash, but right now it seems random (I'm sure it's not... SOMETHING must be causing it...)

Network logins so long as the user is mobile and has a local home directory already... if it's a network user and the home directory is on the server on an AFP share, or if it's a mobile user who hasn't logged onto the system before, then the login fails.

I'm considering a rebuild, but from reading other posts, I'm not convinced this will save me grief... if it were my fault somehow, I would assume the issue wouldn't be so widespread.

Best,
Josh

I'd just like to chime in as yet another person experiencing this exact same problem. Funny thing is that the server was running (mostly) fine for months. We were brave enough to start running Leopard Server soon after 10.5.1 was released. A couple times we had a problem with AFP under high load where AFP would hog all cores and have to be restarted, but this DirectorySErvices problem is new. In the last few days DS has crashed several times requiring us to restart AFP even though existing AFP connections did not seem to have a problem.

I filed a ticket with Apple support. Hopefully I will get something back. In the meantime, if anyone has a workaround to this that doesn't involve disconnecting dozens of users (and thus disrupting classes), please let us know!

BTW, this Leopard server is not the OD master. The master runs on a Tiger server. Not sure if this is significant or not.

Actually, looking at the crash report here, it seems my crash is a bit different. I get a Sig Abort, not a segmentation fault.

I have both flavours (sig abort and segmentation fault)... neither especially a good thing in my books. Server ran great for upon the initial 10.5.0 install, and then started tanking shortly after 10.5.1... but not immediately after the install. Trying to recall whether there was a security patch in there somewhere that might have triggered the issue.

I have solved this issue in our environment. However, unless you understand what is going on below, I would NOT try this in your environment, you can lock yourself out of your server (until reboot).

We had 2-5 crashes an hour until we did the items below.

Our clients are in a 10.0.0.0/8 network. You should edit rule 5 to reflect your environment.


This config assumes you are running afpserver, and opendir with nothing else.


1. Delete the ds_store files on all shares.
2. Use the settings at afp548 to change the thread settings on afpserver set them to no less then 400 threads.
3.REBOOT
4. enable the firewall service and then ON THE CLI, using the ipfw cmd make your firewall config look like:

00005 30 1540 deny ip from 10.0.0.0/8 to any dst-port 22

My server is grinding to a standstill regularly and in frustration I did a complete erase & install and re-built everything from scratch. The only thing which I 'imported' from the old setup was my mail config using mailbfr, as I need to keep the IMAP mailstores etc. Everything else - Users, Groups, etc was all entered from scratch. I setup the server as a standard install for simplicity's sake.

And after all that, I am still getting the server grinding to a halt and the only thing I can see in the server logs is that Directory Service is crashing, similar to described in this thread. Why? Could CMB-Mike248 maybe give a bit more info on what his fix does as I cannot pretend to understand it but I am going mad with frustration because I can't get any work done and neither can my staff because they have no services.

Other clues/information - Mail Service suddenly stops (this has happened 4 times in as many days since the re-install).
AFP continually stops working and you have to stop/start or toggle a setting to get it going again (well documented bug).

How can I have this much trouble with a brand new install?

Mac Mini G4 server, 10.5.1, no other extensions or third party stuff at all, apart from a MySQL installation (latest version). 5 users.

Hope someone out there can help me.

Thanx

James,

What are the rest of specs for the Mac Mini? How much memory and what type of network connection? You also mention afp & mail in your post, but then say that you are only running Open Directory. Is AFP & mail running on separate server and if so what version of os x are they running? How many users do you currently have on your Open Directory server?

Jason

Hi Jason

Didn't mean to suggest that the machine is running OD only. It is running OD, DNS, Mail, iCal, iChat, VPN, AFP, Webmail/wiki. It is a very small network of 5 users. I was previously using an 'advanced' setup but only because I had upgraded from a Tiger installation with portable home directories. I decided to scrap those, do an erase & install and run a simple setup in the hope that I could get on with some real work. But oh no. It's even worse than before!

CPU - 1.4GhHz PowerPC G4. Memory - 1 gig. Network - gigabit ethernet, Airport Extreme base station.

I'm lost.

Thanks

Why did you decide to upgrade to 10.5? Not to suggest that you give up but maybe you are better off using 10.4.x. Can you try only using some services? Maybe just Open Directory and AFP?

Jason
