Some time due to server failure or hard reboot of Qmail-LDAP server the LDAP services fails and LDAP database gets corrupted 

Restarting the Ldap services will show failure . 
 service ldap restart 
 Stopping slapd:                                            [  FAILED  ]
 Checking configuration files for slapd:  config file testing succeeded
                                                           [  WARNING  ]
 Starting slapd:                                            [  Failed  ]

In this case we have to recover the LDAP database 

 cp -pvr /var/lib/ldap /var/lib/ldap.backup.<date>
 slapd_db_recover -h /var/lib/ldap
 service ldap restart 
 Stopping slapd:                                            [  FAILED  ]
 Checking configuration files for slapd:  config file testing succeeded
                                                           [  OK  ]
 Starting slapd:                                            [  OK ]

Check by ldapsearch command and should get following / Similar outputs. Now the LDAP is working Fine .

 [root@node1 ~]# ldapsearch -x
 # extended LDIF
 #
 # LDAPv3
 # base <> with scope subtree
 # filter: (objectclass=*)
 # requesting: ALL
 #
 # energoindia.com
 dn: dc=energoindia,dc=com
 objectClass: dcObject
 objectClass: organization
 o: energoindia

 # energoindia.com, energoindia.com
 dn: ou=energoindia.com,dc=energoindia,dc=com
