Subject: [Freeipa-users] unable to install or uninstall ipa

I have a failed install with lots of critical failures...

:(

When I try to re-install it says its installed but when I try to --uninstall it will not.....

How do I clean it up manually?

========
[root at vuwunicoipam001 ~]# ipa-server-install --uninstall

This is a NON REVERSIBLE operation and will delete all data and configuration!

Are you sure you want to continue with the uninstall procedure? [no]: yes
Shutting down all IPA services
Removing IPA client configuration
Unconfiguring directory server
Unexpected error - see ipaserver-uninstall.log for details:
 [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/dirsrv/slapd-UNIX-VUW-AC-NZ'
[root at vuwunicoipam001 ~]#
