For one thing, you cannot run setup-ds-admin.pl again unless you first 
do some clean up:
service dirsrv stop
service dirsrv-admin stop
rm /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/adm.conf /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/local.conf 
/etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/admpw
rm -rf /var/log/dirsrv/admin-serv/*
rm -rf `find /etc/dirsrv /usr/lib/dirsrv /usr/lib64/dirsrv /var -name 
slapd-yourinstancename\*`

Note - replace yourinstancename with your actual instance name - also 
run the find command by itself to make sure it actually finds what it is 
supposed to find (or you may nuke your file system)

Then, when you are ready to run setup-ds-admin.pl again, use -ddd to 
enable verbose output.
