openldap startup issues

I'm having an issue getting openldap started. I'm pretty sure it's just a problem with a conf file somewhere but I"m not sure where. Whenever I try to start it I get no feedback, just the [!!] instead of [OK].

I was wondering how I can enable logging with openldap so if there are problems such as these it will report them somwhere? I'm running syslog-ng currently.

I can post my config files if necessary, but I thought for starters it might be simpler to just get slapd logging somewhere.

Thanks in advance.

Actually, as usual, 5 minutes after I posted I found the problem with that. However I'm getting a couple other errors (I actually found where it was logging to). If anyone has any thoughts I would appreciate the feedback:

sql_select option missing
auxpropfunc error no mechanism available
_sasl_plugin load failed on sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: sql

This ldap server started off as just me wanting to try using it for authentication. However now I'm trying to install an Open-Xchange server, so it will also be used for that.

Regards,
Aric

I encountered this problem too. My issue turned out to be that I had emerged an OpenLDAP update which was linked against a newer version of libdb than the previous one. I had to use the db_recover/db_upgrade tools to fix my database files before OpenLDAP would work again.
