What platform?  Which Java are you using?
fedora-idm-console -D 9 -f console.log may provide more information.

This is very strange.  The admin server should be using 
/var/log/dirsrv/admin-serv for its logs.  You should not have the 
operating system apache running and listening to the same port number 
(9830) as the admin server, if you have them both running at the same time.

grep Listen /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
grep Listen /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/console.conf

The console cannot talk to standard apache - the admin server has 
special configuration and a special apache module that allows it to 
communicate with the console.

Does "localhost" resolve to the same thing as "localhost.localdomain"?

Try doing fedora-idm-console -A http://localhost:9830/
