| TLSCACertificateFile    /opt/openldap/etc/openldap/cacert.pem

| Or just try and rename
|
|
|
| #

| # Database Directory

|

|

|
|

Try running it with debugging without daemonising, as follows:

# slapd -d1

It is usuallu also a good idea to run it as the user and group it
normally runs as, to find permissions problems:

# slapd -d1 -g ldap -u ldap
