Configuration directory server administrator ID [admin]: Password: Password (confirm): Error: the server already exists at '/etc/dirsrv/slapd-unix-services2' Please remove it first if you really want to recreate it, or use a different ServerIdentifier to create another instance. When using Silent or Express mode, some of the dialogs are skipped, but validation is still performed on the default or given answers. You should run this program again and choose Typical or Custom mode in order to provide a valid input for the problem dialog. Exiting . . .

On the working server, there's a /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/adm.conf file that contains that line, but I do not have an adm.conf on this new server. Is there a way to back out of this without uninstalling fedora-ds? make it completely forget about everything I've done so I can just start from scratch and try again? -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * ***********************************************************************
