According to the error you're getting, there is a CA instance already

After uninstalling IPA, destroy it with:

I tried, this, but no joy.

# pkidestroy -s CA -i pki-tomcat
Loading deployment configuration from /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat
/ca/registry/ca/deployment.cfg.

pkidestroy : ERROR   ....... No security domain defined.
If this is an unconfigured instance, then that is OK.
Otherwise, manually delete the entry from the security domain master.

Uninstallation complete.

And then when I tried to run ipa-server-install, I got the same error
again. I may just wipe the box and start over. It might take less time
overall.

This, BTW, is on F20 using freeipa 3.3.4-3 and pki-ca 10.1.1-1 (also
dogtag-10.1.1-1).

From the ipa-server installation output the error looks the same, but the underlying error should be different when there isn't already a PKI instance. If the PKI installer fails early enough we don't record that it was installed which is why ipa-server-install --uninstall doesn't remove it. We have a ticket open for this.

So is there a recommended way to clean it up and get it working?

Never mind; I found the bug (953488) which said to:

# pkidestroy -s CA -i pki-tomcat
ERROR:  PKI instance '/var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat' does NOT exist!
# rm -rf /var/log/pki/pki-tomcat
# rm -rf /etc/sysconfig/pki-tomcat
# rm -rf /etc/sysconfig/pki/tomcat/pki-tomcat
# rm -rf /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat
# rm -rf /etc/pki/pki-tomcat
# ipa-server-install --uninstall

And re-run installation. This didn't work for me. Was there another bug that I missed?
