Can't install 1.5.7 on mac osx after installing 2.0M1

[Fred Arters <fr...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I've been using OpenDS for a while now and wanted to try something different, so I was going to give apacheds a change.  Looking at the website I saw there was a 2.0 milestone release and I downloaded and ran the installer for Mac OSX.

It seemed to install but then trying to figure out how to manage it I found that the links for the documentation on the 2.0 website are broken.   I tried to use the prior release (1.5.7) docs but they don't seem to match up (cant find server.xml in 2.0 for example).  

I called it a failed attempt and tried to remove it and install 1.5.7.   I stopped the service, deleted the plist file, the apacheds file in /usr/bin and the directory under /usr/local  

Then I downloaded and ran the 1.5.7 installer.   That reports that it cannot install because I have a newer version of the software installed on the drive.  

Anyone know what else I need to remove to get 1.5.7 to install?

Actually, the documentation for ApacheDS 2.0 is missing ATM. The 1.5.x documentation needs to be duplicated and updated to match the modifications that were made for 2.0.

FYI, the server.xml file does not exist anymore. It has been replaced by a single 'config.ldif' LDIF file (in the conf folder of the instance).

If you're on Snow Leopard (should work the same on Lion too, but I haven't tested yet), you need to remove the following installation receipts files:

> $ sudo rm /private/var/db/receipts/org.apache.directory.server.plist

Hope this helps,
