Thanks.  Here are the results. I can start googling this result, but I am kind of a newbie at openldap, so if you know something obvious, let me know. Thank you very much.

Hi,

seems you are using LTB OpenLDAP packages, or at least LTB OpenLDAP init script. Try to run:
# service slapd debug

You should get information on why it is not starting.
