SOLVED Setting up LDAP server.

Arch is boring because everything runs too smooth .  So for a challenge, I tried to set up an LDAP server and I can't getting it to work.  I even have a book in front of me!!

I keep getting this error: ldap_result: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

This is my query: ldapsearch -x '(objectclass=*)' -W -D "cn=admin, dc=example, dc=com"

This is my slapd.conf:

include         /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
pidfile   /var/run/slapd.pid
argsfile  /var/run/slapd.args
 access to *
        by self write
        by users read
        by anonymous auth
database        bdb
suffix          "dc=exemple,dc=com"
rootdn          "cn=admin,dc=exemple,dc=com"
rootpw          secret
directory       /var/lib/openldap/openldap-data
index   objectClass     eq

And this is my ldap.conf:

BASE    dc=exemple,dc=com
URI     ldap://localhost

nmap localhost shows : 389/tcp  open  ldap so I guess the server is running

Can someone give me some hint??
-------------------------------------
EDIT:
hosts.allow damn it.
slapd:ALL:ALLOW.

I did not see any mention whatsoever in Mastering OpenLDAP book from Packt Publishing
