-H "ldap:/// ldaps:///" in slapd command?

Hi,

2.1.21 (same occurred on 2.1.19, but I built the latest anyway)...  I
can't get OpenLDAP to start a.  ( I have seen MANY posts in archive of
people with similar issues, but never an answer that I could apply to this
situation. )

I have recently Downloaded, Configured, Compiled and installed these
packages (RedHat 7.2):

Sleepycat Berkeley - db-4.1.25
openssl - 0.9.7b
openldap - 2.1.21 (uses the above packages)
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var \
  --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-syslog \
  --enable-dynamic --disable-ipv6 --with-readline --with-threads \
  --with-tls=openssl --enable-slapd --enable-cleartext --enable-crypt \
  --enable-bdb --enable-monitor --enable-slurpd --with-gnu-ld

All packages built successfully with zero errors.  Here is my Config, sans
comments.

-+-+-+-slapd.conf-+-+-+-
include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
pidfile /var/slapd.pid
argsfile /var/slapd.args
access to dn.base="" by * read
access to * by self write by users read by anonymous auth
database bdb
suffix "dc=cvweb"
rootdn "cn=manager,dc=cvweb"
rootpw {SSHA}HV...
directory /var/openldap-data
index objectClass eq
-+-+-+-end-+-+-+-

Every how-to and readme I read says that I don't need to create the
database first - just run it. But it doesn't run - here is the info from
my running it /usr/libexec/slapd -d 4

-+-+-+--d 4 output-+-+-+-

And finally, /var/openldap-data

drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Apr 10 09:37 ..

The above (__db.001) is created automatically by running OpenLDAP.

Could somebody tell me what stupid thing I am missing!?

Thank you,
