You don't need the dc=com object because your suffix definition says
"dc=redivi,dc=com" - so that is the first object that you should add.

Remove this part:

This should be the first object to add, but it needs an 'o' attribute
as it has objectClass: organization.

I would also advise removing the extra space in the dn: line so
that it looks like this:

dn: dc=redivi,dc=com

(Certain versions of OpenLDAP are very picky about DN format so it
pays to be consistent)

Once you have added dc=redivi,dc=com you should be able to add the
things underneath it.
