[Freeipa-users] Failed installation

Tomcat is definitely not running and there's no log in /var/log/pki-ca.
SELinux is disabled and not running. The same RPMs are installed on both my
functioning and nonfunctioning system, at least as far as "# rpm -qa | grep
tomcat | sort" revealed.

I also followed Martin's suggestion to clean out the CA configuration, but
that command seems to indicate that there wasn't any existing configuration:

[root at fs1 ~]# /usr/bin/pkiremove -pki_instance_root=/var/lib
-pki_instance_name=pki-ca --force
PKI instance Deletion Utility ...

PKI instance Deletion Utility cleaning up instance ...

No security domain defined.
If this is an unconfigured instance, then that is OK.
Otherwise, manually delete the entry from the security domain master.

Removing selinux contexts


[root at fs1 ~]#
