invalid .ldif? [newbie]
I've just loaded an .ldif file within Apache Directory Studio and the
program is pointing out *Unexpected token*. I can't see anything wrong with
the file, any ideas pls?

And now it's fine. Hard to explain why, but I must have done something
wrong :)

Damn... You probably attached the file the first time, too.
So forgive me for my ironical comment...
I'm afraid that the spam system has removed the attached file (I didn't
received it either).
Can you post it on http://pastebin.com/ ?
Thanks !

I've also noted the attached error when loading Apache Directory Studio for
the 2nd time. A visual check of the file didn't catch anything unusual.

Ok, can you post the ldif so that we can give you a more appropriate

Almost all your lines (except line 1) start with one or two spaces. I'd
suggest you remove them all. Maybe that is really an issue with CR/LF.
>From RFC2849 [1]:
Any line that begins with a single space MUST be treated as a
continuation of the previous (non-empty) line.
An issue in the Studio LDIF editor is that it needs a newline at the end
of the file, so please add one.
Kind Regards,
Stefan

Well, it seems to me that lines 8/9 do not start off with a space, although
Burch wrote that they should be . Apache Directory Studio seemed to point
out issues in that part, so I'm thinking that the parser "did not like" the
spacing there, is this so?

Thanks,
so the first lines start with a space. No chance that the parser will
accept it.
A space on first line is always considered as the continuation of a
previous line, which is not the case.
LDIF is a pretty strict format...

Unlikely ...
Otherwise, there are many potential traps :
* no space after the ':' or '::'
* a multi-line value not starting with a space
* an attribute type with a non valid char in it
* a missing ':'
* a missing RC at the end of the file (not sure if it still generates an
error...)
* the #version:1 does not contain the valid '1' number

A trick on linux/unix, to remove window$ ^M : open your file in vi, and
type :%s/^V^M// in command mode
(to produce the ^V, just hit the control key and the V key. The very
same for ^M). Doing the same with sed should also work...

Don't know about apache studio, but I've often had this sort of error
with command line ldapmodify when I've copied a windoze or os2 based
ldif file to unix and then updated it there. In almost every case, I've
tracked it down to a cr/lf problem.
If this is possible in your case, edit the file under linux; go to EVERY
single end-of-line position and delete characters until the next line
concatenates with the current one; hit return. (repeat for every line,
including the last empty line).
Hope that helps!
