Hello,

The log says that slapd failed to start, but not why.

Please could you check /var/log/syslog for messages emitted by slapd and
paste them here.

Alternatively, start slapd in debug mode (-d):

/usr/sbin/slapd -h 'ldap:/// ldapi:///' -F /etc/ldap/slapd.d -u openldap -g openldap -d1

and paste its output.

Thank you!
