I have a virtual machine with Ubuntu Server 12, Apache, MySQL, PHP. I am trying to setup ApacheDS on the same machine. So, i install xubuntu, java and apacheds (using the deb package) without a problem. Then, when i try to start ApacheDS by using:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apacheds-2.0.0-M15-default start

i get :

Starting ApacheDS - default...
$

and then if i execute:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apacheds-2.0.0-M15-default status

i get:

Starting ApacheDS - default is not running

I checked /var/log/syslog and there is nothing there! What is going wrong? Any idea?

    What does your apache (error) log say? – deagh Aug 26 '13 at 13:32
  • Nothing! There is nothing logged in the syslog. (Sorry for the delayed answer. Something happened and i was without internet for a few days) – Alexandros Gougousis Sep 02 '13 at 09:41
  • As mentioned above have a look at your apache error log (ex. /var/log/httpd/error.log) not syslog. – deagh Sep 02 '13 at 12:36
  • The OP is running ApacheDS (an LDAP server), which is entirely separate from Apache httpd, the webserver. `/var/log/httpd/error.log` isn't the right log file. (And doesn't exist, in my case, and I have the OP's problem!) – Thanatos Jun 05 '14 at 23:18

I had the same problem.

You can see start-up problems in the "console" mode. Just execute:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apacheds-2.0.0-M15-default console

In my case I got the following error message, which originated from the "java" command:

Running ApacheDS - default...
wrapper  | --> Wrapper Started as Console
wrapper  | Launching a JVM...
wrapper  | JVM exited while loading the application.
jvm 1    | Error occurred during initialization of VM
jvm 1    | Could not reserve enough space for object heap
jvm 1    | Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
jvm 1    | Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
wrapper  | There were 1 failed launches in a row, each lasting less than 300 seconds.  Giving up.
wrapper  |   There may be a configuration problem: please check the logs.
wrapper  | <-- Wrapper Stopped

It was the java options that needed to be fixed. In my case I had to reduce initial heap size:

java -Xms16m -Xmx64m  ...
