Starting slapd with debug flags is always more useful for diagnostics

From the results below it looks like your server is not even
coming up.
This would explain why you are not able to search or add entries. Next
thing to look at is to see if you are getting any useful information in
the slapd.log. This should be in /var/log/slapd.log. If you don't know
where it is located then try using the locate command I think ubuntu
should have that or something equivalent.
If you don't find one then you might need to enable the log in
/etc/syslog.conf.
I use RH so I assume something similar is available on ubuntu.
I added the list back to the CC so others that might know more about
ubuntu specifics can help and so they can assist you as well.

hello kris
this are the results that i get when i try to listen , guess this is not
wat u were expecting
root@ubuntu:/home/administrator# ps -eaf | grep slapd
root 14183 14172 0 22:07 pts/0 00:00:00 grep slapd
root@ubuntu:/home/administrator# netstat -na | grep 389
root@ubuntu:/home/administrator# telnet 10.4.139.5 <http://10.4.139.5>
389
Trying 10.4.139.5...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
i tried the earlier steps like ldapsearch -d 255 after reading different
forums of ldap but please dont misunderstand me to be an expert in openldap
could you tell me how to establish the connectivity or where did i go wrong
thanking you

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:389
<http://0.0.0.0:389>
0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
If the above come back and indicate it is up and listening see if you
can telnet to the <ip> 389 and get something back.
Also you could check to see if you are getting errors on server startup
by checking the slapd.log on the server side and see if it is reporting
any errors.
If you are using the command line search are you specifying the remote
server using the –h option?
Most of the errors seem to indicate there is nothing listening on the
server to handle the search request.
