You can create /etc/sysconfig/ldap and in it put something like: SLAPD_OPTIONS="-d XXX" and restart ldap. Man the slapd manpage for all the options. If it is a corrupted database, you might look at the various db_* commands, such as db_recover. Googling for any error messages you get will help, too.
