I'm trying to set up an LDAP server on my box (only for address book management). It seems like there is no schema (or a problem related to the schema) on my test server, and I don't know what I should do to overcome that problem.
Your problem is not that the slapd(8) instance has no schema (all slapd(8) instances have some schema... as there is always built-in schema).
Your problem is that you are unable to read the (sub)schema. The root of that problem appears to be a misunderstanding of the general procedure used to read the subschema controlling a particular entry. (The general procedure is defined in these terms, as opposed to a "server's schema", as the specification allows different subtrees to be controlled by schemas... hence the term "subschema".) This procedure is discussed in the FAQ answer: http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?file=1366
I suggest you take the remaining issues, which are clearly of a general nature, to a general LDAP list (e.g., ldap@umich.edu).
