An error in the ldap configuration file could also prevent the service to start

start openldap manualy using

# /kolab/libexec/openldap/slapd -d 1

If the error message is unclear try using 2, then 3, then 4, then 5
until you get something you can understand.

Look the kolab's wiki for interesting information about how to deal with ldap.

MAKE A DAILY BACKUP (AND KEEP SOME ARCHIVE OF THEM)
OF YOUR CRITICAL DATA. (I put this in upercase because this is important :-)
and so easy, look the wiki)
