I'm not sure... I can no longer run that script because...

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 . . .


I've tried to remove it, but

[root at unix-services2 ~]# /usr/sbin/ds_removal -s unix-services2 -w
mypassword

Error:The server '' is not reachable.  Error: unknown error

Unfortunately, I don't know what "o=NetscapeRoot" means.  I see
references to that all over the place.  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?
