Hi all,
I've just performed an upgrade on my FreeBSD servers to get them all to
version 13.5 and am now in the process of updating various @ports.
OpenLDAP was upgraded from the 24 version port to the 25 (or version 2.5
in real terms) but for some reason the service does not want to start.
I have checked the "upgrading" information here:
https://openldap.org/doc/admin25/appendix-upgrading.html
and tried to read around the issue, but I can't really understand what
is going on.
This is the output from the ldap.log file:

Has something with the configuration file changed in the meantime, or
based off this line: "ldif_read_file: no entry file
"/usr/local/etc/openldap//cn=config.ldif"" is it something to do with
the slapd.ldif file in the openldap directory?
If need be I can post my slapd.conf file too.... any pointers would be
great or at least if there was somewhere to increase the logging to say
exactly what and where is wrong would be great.
Many thanks.
Kaya
