Gavin, Thanks for the reply. I assume the data dir is /var/lib/ldap. I deleted the newly created objectClass.bdb file and moved all the other files from the /var/lib/ldap dir to some other dir, except for the DB_CONFIG. I left that file in /var/lib/ldap.

service ldap start says ok and ok, but status still reported as stopped.

no files generated

What do your logs show?
