You may also want to double-check that you have all the correct schema's
loaded (and restart slapd once you've defined them).

This error looks suspciously like the scripts have a hard-coded default
for the servername or IP.  Or that your server segfaulted and died at

success with it that earlier 2.x releases and the configuration is much
cleaner than the 1.x series.
