Hi Howard,

Thanks so much for trying to help me to resolve this issue; the thing is
that when I initially installed this instance of OpenLDAP, everything came
up, I was able to create some entries, but all of a sudden, I started getting
this error; that said, how do I specify the olcConfigFile to point
to the slapd.conf during runtime inside the slapd.conf
file?

Thanks,

Ike

The error message comes from cn=config trying to set the olcConfigFile
attribute to the name of the slapd.conf file. It's the full pathname of
the file that's relevant here, not its contents.
