With Ubuntu 10.04, slapd is shipped by default using slapd.d configuration instead of slapd.conf. Referring to the document [1] I believe adding a new database should be as simple as adding a new file in slapd.d/cn=config/

No. Never create files inside slapd.d by hand.

One would usually add the new configuration object via LDAP, rather than by modifying the database files. This is the point of cn=config. However, adding files may work also...

No. cn=config is only meant to be manipulated via LDAP or slap* tools. Never muck around directly in the files.

But it doesn't work for me.
