I had the same issue when trying to migrate from fusion directory. I 
thought it was because I had fusion directory schema already present, so 
I opened https://github.com/gosa-project/gosa-core/issues/66 for 
migration documentation.

But figured out even a fresh slapd installation does not work. Though it 
failed much earlier in the setup, it does not proceed after the LDAP 
server configuration screen. Clicking on Continue button keeps 
refreshing the screen, the connection is shown as successful.

Note: the default screen is in German and I had to use LibreWolf/Firefox 
translate to try it.
