What error messages did you receive?

You can use slaptest (with both -f and -F options) to convert your
configuration to the newer configuration database format (see man
slapd-config), although you can still use a slapd.conf based configuration.

See chapters 10, 19, and appendix B of the OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide,
and the man pages for slapcat/slapdd. You should dump the contents of your
databases on the old system with slapcat, and slapadd them on the new
installation.
