Hi everyone,
I am in the procress of trying to upgrade a DC from a packaged
"4.7.6-Ubuntu" to a self-compiled 4.14.6.
I copied a self-compiled version of Samba over to /usr/local/samba, and
copied the config files, databases (private folder etc) from their
typical debian locations too.
When I try to start the new samba with debug level 10, the syslog says:
Jul 31 16:02:43 ad1 samba[3001]: [2021/07/31 16:02:43.347737, 0,
pid=3001, effective(0, 0), real(0, 0)]
../../source4/samba/server.c:646(binary_smbd_main)
Jul 31 16:02:43 ad1 samba[3001]: samba version 4.14.6 started.

../../lib/util/become_daemon.c:122(exit_daemon)
Jul 31 16:02:43 ad1 samba[3003]: exit_daemon: daemon failed to start:
Samba failed to prime database, error code 22
I've seen this error documented on a downgrade, not an upgrade (see
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Downgrading_an_Active_Directory_DC#Samba_failed_to_prime_database.2C_error_code_22).
* Should this work or should I give up and go for a scary DC rejoin?
* If this should work, how can I find out more about what's going wrong?
Let me know if I should provide config files, (what) logs, etc.
Thank you,
Daan
