Make sure you have packages installed
Run the uninstall command several times (5 for example)

 ipa-server-install --uninstall -U

In case of failed installation and other steps you made the installtion might 
be in the corrupted state.
Running severl times might help as it might detect and remove/unconfigure 
different things at different moments.

Before trying to reinstall again make sure you have latest SELinux policies.

If it explodes again let us know.
