Failed to delete old semaphore for stats file

Failed to delete old semaphore for stats file

Today I was getting this error:

[09/Feb/2016:12:21:26 +101800] - 389-Directory/1.3.5 B2016.040.145 starting up
[09/Feb/2016:12:21:26 +101800] - Failed to delete old semaphore for stats file (/opt/dirsrv/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-localhost.stats). Error 13 (Permission denied).

But when you check:

/opt# ls -al /opt/dirsrv/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-localhost.stats
ls: cannot access /opt/dirsrv/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-localhost.stats: No such file or directory

Turns out on linux this isn't actually where the file is. You need to remove:

/dev/shm/sem.slapd-localhost.stats

A bug will be opened shortly ....
