Jadfer, I went through this exercise yesterday. I'll summarize what I did.
1. In Apache Directory Studio create a server and run it. 2. Right-click on the server and select Open Configuration. 3. Select Partitions on the bottom tab, then click on the Add button. 4. Rename the partition on the right-hand side. (e.g., ID: myPartition, Suffix: dc=mypartition,dc=com) 5. Save the config.ldif file. 5. Restart the server. This will reload the config.ldif for the server and create the partition. 6. On the LDAP Browser, select the Root DSE node. 7. Right-click on the Root DSE node and select New, then New Context Entry. 8. On the dialog box, select the [Use existing entry as template] option and then click on the [Browse...] button 9. On the Select DN dialog box that appears, select the ou=system and then click OK. 10. Now back on the New Context Entry dialog, select the [Next] button. 11. On the next dialog that offers you Object Classes, just click [Next] again. THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART: 12. Enter the DN that corresponds to your partition (dc=mypartition,dc=com), then click [Next] 13. Fill the ou attribute (e.g., "mypartition") that appears in the next dialog and then click [Finish].

In the end it keeps giving me a protocol error. A bonus would be to find out exactly how to create a partition in Studio with the wizard. I know how to run the wizard, I am not sure what choices to use. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot" <p...@marcelot.net> Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2012 3:08 AM To: <users@directory.apache.org> Cc: "Jadfer" <jad...@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: [ApacheDS] Unable to create a partition with DS 2.0.0 M5 and Studio 2.0.0 v2 > Hi Jadfer, > > Take a look at the 'example' partition (dc=example,dc=com). > This partition contains the minimum set of indexes. > > Or, you can use Apache Directory Studio and the new Apache DS 2.0 > Configuration editor to create your own partition visually (maybe try to > remove your incomplete partition definition before doing that). > > Regards, > Pierre-Arnaud > > On 21 févr. 2012, at 20:01, Jadfer wrote: > >> I recently downloaded the current versions of DS and Studio.
