It looks that DS database is somehow corrupted, is possible that there 
might be some leftovers from previous installations

start: Failed to start databases, err=-1 BDB0092 Unknown error: -1

I'm not sure what that error means, maybe DS guys will know

Can you run server uninstall twice? It should remove all leftovers, and 
then check /var/lib/dirsrv/ if there are any slapd-* directories, if yes 
please remove them
