Can't add initial directory entries with 2.0.11 (ldap_add: No suc h object).

[Zach Copley <zach@ework.com>]

Hello!

I'm using RedHat Linux 7.1 and OpenLDAP 2.0.11, and I'm having trouble
creating initial entries in my directory.  I built OpenLDAP from
source, and it passed all the tests.  Here's what happens:

--->8---
bash-2.04$ ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=ework,dc=com" -W -f ework.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
"dding new entry "dc=ework,dc=com
ldap_add: No such object

ldif_record() = 32
--->8---

I've seen messages from other people who have had this trouble, but
upon scouring the list archives, I can't find any answer.  I'm afraid
I'm too new to LDAP to figure out where I'm going wrong... any help
you could give me would be much appreciated.  I'm eager to learn all
about OpenLDAP and LDAP in general.  Below are my config files (I
followed the instructions in the documentation).

Thanks for you help in advance,

Zach
