You can forget about all the ldap.conf things before you did not solved 
this:

Maybe because all processes did not end and still sit on the port.
Check your process list and netstat to solve this.

Before trying to connect with a client again, make perfectly clear that 
the server is running and listening, i.e. by increasing the log level of 
slapd (or with debug output).

ldap.conf is more or less for convenience, it let's you type less but 
everything in there can be set as options and parameters with 
ldapsearch/add/delete/modify etc. It's more important that your slapd 
config is fine at first.
