It is generally advisable to update to the latest version which 
currently is 2.4.36. You can use the RPMs/repo from:

If you upgrade to 2.4.36 you may want to consider switching from BDB to MDB.

I have no idea what that means but for the more knowledgable people on 
this list to be able to help you show them what you exactly did. Show 
the logs and the ldifs and commands you used.

If you are new to LDAP/OpenLDAP then it probably helps to read a book 
like 'LDAP System Adminstration' or 'Mastering OpenLDAP: Configuring, 
Securing and Integrating Directory Services' or 'Understanding and 
Deploying LDAP Directory Services'. And always read the OpenLDAP Admin 
Guide and the openldap man pages.
