dirsrv does not start

[Timotheus Pokorra]

Hello Joe,

I have the error message here:
http://www.pokorra.de/2013/05/install-kolab3-on-jiffybox/
Failed to create semaphore for stats file
(/var/run/dirsrv/slapd-kolab.stats). Error 13.(Permission denied)

This problem is also mentioned in the new documentation:
http://docs.kolab.org/installation-guide/preparing-the-system.html#lxc-containers
