actually i'm reading this book , ' mastering openldap' from packt publishing, on it, the book uses ubuntu as distro in their examples and i just assumed the working of openldap between distro's wouldn't be any different (except for directory paths). however i removed the moduleload line , ran 'slaptest -v -u -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf' (the 'database hdb' bit was already there) and now it's fine.
Thanks, wessel

Hi,
I assume you are following a random tutorial on the net. Don't do that. It simply does not fit.
Instead of using a modulepath just (the proper one on CentOS would be /usr/lib/openldap, as pre-defined in slapd.conf; but the backends are not available as modules on CentOS), define you database properly. Where you see
database bdb
in the slapd.conf CentOS ships with, just change bdb into hdb.
