This is what I have added in my current rc.conf. I think it goes according to the guidelines of the Manual at openLDAP.
 
# The following line will enable slapd and all its dependeciesslapd_enable="YES"slapd_flags='-h "ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fopenldap%2fldapi/ ldap://0.0.0.0/"'slapd_sockets="/var/run/openldap/ldapi"
I am not 100% sure where my mistake is hence the log is not showing me anything, this is the first time for me playing with openLDAP.
I am starting to worder if it has something to do with the LDIF file or configuration of the database. Throw me a bone if you have one.

I tried following these guidelines and still getting that silly error by syslog which doesn't give a clue of where the mistake is located. 
This is the output of debug.log

I am even more confuse by this whole thing. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me with.
