issue with slapadd

[Judith Flo Gaya <jflo@imppc.org>]

Hello,

I'm using openldap-server 2.4.19-15 in a Red Hat 6 box (x86_64), rpm 
installation.
This is the very first time I use ldap and I'm having some issues with 
the configuration.
I read that the slapd.conf file should not be use, instead the slapd.d 
directory is the new system that is meant to be.

As I don't know how this exactly works, I've been reading and folowing 
the tutorial in the openldap page. Specifically I read the 
Administration guide and I copy and adapt the config.ldif file to suit 
my needs.
After a while I manage to run the command:
slapadd -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d -n 0 -l config.ldif
with no problems. I thought that once this was done the slapd should 
start smoothly, but instead I'm having an slaptest error saying that my 
configuration FILE is wrong. As the slapd.conf doesn't exists, I don't 
know where this error comes from. I tried
#slaptest -v -d1 -F ../slapd.d/
[......]
ldif_back_add: "olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config"
oc_check_required entry (olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config), 
objectClass "olcDatabaseConfig"

ldif_back_add: err: 68 text:

slaptest: bad configuration directory!


Since the directory structure was built by the slapadd command, where is 
the problem?
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I can't find it ;(
Permissions are ok (at the beginning I had issues with the include 
core.ldif part of my config.ldif, I ended pasting the contents in the 
config.ldif)

Thanks in advance for your help, hope you can shed some light on this.
