This is most definitely not supported. I was able to change a server 
name only after first switching to a generic instance name. Still, it 
required modifications to 24 files in various places.

I suggest you rename the server back to it's original name, start the 
directory, take an ldif export, completely remove the fds RPM and 
/opt/fedora-ds, rename the server, reinstall fds, and reload your ldif.

Yes, it is a PITA.
