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.
Does your slapd command line include an -f or -F argument?
If I remember correctly, in 2.4 the default if not specified was to use
a traditional config file (slapd.conf(5); -f .../slapd.conf).
In 2.5 (and later), I believe the default is a configuration database
(slapd-config(5) aka cn=config; -F .../slapd.d).
You can use a slapd.conf file with 2.5. You just have to run slapd with
an explicit '-f /usr/local/etc/openldap/slapd.conf'.
The slapd.ldif file is an example of an LDIF file for bootstrapping a
cn=config database (input to slapadd(8)). It is not a usable config file
on its own.
