[1] Install 389-admin

ls /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/

admserv.conf console.conf httpd.conf nss.conf

[2] Run "remove-ds-admin.pl -y -f" without ever running setup-ds-admin.pl (no admin server currently installed).

ls /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/

[3] Running setup-ds-admin.pl

[4] To fix this the 389-admin package must be removed (dnf remove/yum remove), and then re-installed

If there is an admin server installed then "remove-ds-admin.pl -y -f" works correctly the first time, but if you run it again it removes all the contents of /etc/dirsv/admin-serv.
