Error

Hi There,

I am new to OpenLDAP and followed the steps mentioned in this quick start guide
as it is 
https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin25/quickstart.html
but failing the configuration of OpenLDAP. 

I followed the below steps on CentOS 8 with 2.5.7 and successfully installed
but while configuring facing issues, please correct me if I am doing this in
the wrong way. 

1. Created a Linux user dedicated to OpenLDAP with the name "nchalla" which has
sudo permissions.

2. Login with Root user and created a folder /u01 

3. change permissions on /u01 (for time being granted 777 (

4. change ownership of /u01 to "nchalla" 

5. downloaded the tarball and extracted the OpenLDAP 2.5.7

7. downloaded the required developer libraries 

8. Logged in as nchalla and navigated to the OpenLDAP 2.5.7 extracted folder
and start compiling and installing with the below commands
./configure --prefix=/u01/ldap
make depend
make
make test (all tests were passed)
make install 

9. Started the configuration following the below steps 
a. created a folder /u01/ldap/etc/slapd.d 
b. updated the slapd.ldif with our domain name
c. navigate to /u01/ldap and executed the command below, 
sbin/slapadd -n 0 -F /u01/ldap/etc/slapd.d -l /u01/ldap/etc/openldap/slapd.ldif
which is throwing error messages
