This generally indicates a permission issue.  If, for example, you run
slapd as root and then later try to run it as another user, or if you
change what user you're running slapd as, you need to change the ownership
of all of the files in /var/lib/ldap to match the user you're running
slapd as.

Could you check and see if that's the problem that you're having?  (And
was this also the source of the problem you reported in #416272, to which
I just responded?)
