ERROR: Could not load module httpstk, -5980

Repeated attempts to configure a new tree or add a server to a tree using either ndsconfig or ndsmanage lead to the following errors in ndsd.log file.

ERROR: Warning: Could not load module httpstk,-5980
ERROR: Failed in loading module BKCache
ERROR: Warning: Could not load module embox, -5984

Tree configuration using ndsconfig or ndsmanage utilities seems to hang and a new tree cannot be configured or a server cannot be added on the Linux/Solaris host.

This is a bug and has been fixed in Novell eDirectory 88 SP1 release. As a workaround, delete the /etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf/nds.conf file and attempt the eDirectory configuration again using ndsconfig or ndsmanage.

The ndsd.log file extract with the errors will look like this:

"Warning: Could not load module httpstk,-5980
Failed in loading module BKCache
NDS iMonitor 2.4 for Novell eDirectory v20111.44 started successfully
Warning: Could not load module embox, -5984"
