Topic: Cannot start OpenLDAP after migration

Hi all, I set up iredmail server with below information two years ago.
==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version: 0.8.6
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): LDAP
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit
- Related log if you're reporting an issue:
====

Now I want to move my mail server to Ubuntu 64bit with the latest iredmail 0.9.2 so I set up a new ubuntu server  14.04 64bit. Then I download and install the latest iredmail and it works OK after installation.
After  that, I backup LDAP in old mail server and migrate to new server and I do as migrate guide from iredmail website. But  after restoring LDAP,I couldn't start slapd service.
If you are in my case,please recommend for me what is the best solutions for this
migrate
Best regards

Re: Cannot start OpenLDAP after migration

Please turn on debug mode in OpenLDAP config file, then start it. Any related error message in /var/log/openldap.log or /var/log/syslog?

Re: Cannot start OpenLDAP after migration

Dear Zhang,

Is there a way to install IREDMAIL 0.8.6 now because I see it check latest version and not let me install v 0.8.6

Because I'm currently running iredmail 0.8.6 so I think if I migrate to new server with same version of iredmail, it would be OK and then I could upgrade latest version of redmail on my new server.

Best regards,
