That's most likely what happened to your server...

Well, I'd try the following, but since we haven't tested it, we don't 
know how it ends up...
1. shutdown the admin server and console
2. go to your <server_root>/admin-serv/config
3. replace "ou=duraflex.com.sv" with "ou=duraflex" in all the files in 
the directory
4. restart the admin server, then console
5. login on the console

Hope it goes fine...
