Re: ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

Ok, now I typed in ldapdelete -x -W -D "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" then it asked for password (Enter LDAP Password:) and I entered it. I entered rootpw, which is in my /etc/ldap/slapd.conf is that right? Anyways, it seems not as the answer was same old ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

When I write ldapdelete I get answer like that from my terminal:

ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1) What should I do to connect

to LDAP server?

If "ldapdelete" was your full command, most likely:

1)Your configuration files (e.g. /etc/openldap/ldap.conf, .ldaprc etc.) are 

not configured

2)You should provide the hostname/IP of the LDAP server, or a URI on the 

command line

Read the man page for ldapdelete, or if you want assistance, provide the full 

command line you are using.
