Hi,

I know I'm not helping, but-

# Subject: OpenLDAP 2.2.13 released

Please, update to the latest OpenLDAP 2.4.21 release. The one you're
playing with is 6 years old.

You can try to start % slapd; from command line and see what the problem
is/might be.

As a root or whoever is supposed to run OpenLDAP:
# slapd -h 'ldap://127.0.0.1' -d 256;

You might want to supply full path to # slapd; binary and I'm no
familiar with 2.2.x version, but I guess this (parameters) apply as well.

Regards,
Zdenek

PS: whatever
