I am trying to get the domino server to run in the background on AIX 4.3.3. If I use the scripts that are in the Redbook “Lotus Domino R5 on IBM RS/6000” I get the server started. If I do a ps -unotes I get a list of the server process and the all of the sub-processes. I can shut the server down using another script from the Redbook. If I start the server with a “nohup” command I get the same results. The server starts, I can see the processes using the ps commands but I can not access the server with the Notes client. I also can not access the HTTP Server through a web browser. The script command is /opt/lotus/bin/server < notes.input > /tmp/domino2.log 2>&1 &. If I put somethnig into notes.input , like sh ta, I do not get anything added to the /tmp/domio2.log. In fact I never get anything added to /tmp/domino2.log.
Is it possible that this is a configuration error within the AIX install?
Subject: very odd. we are using something similar and it works fine here.
a simple redirect should always work. What happens if you start the server on the console without any redirect? This is always the first step to try. Than start it without the “&” and see what happens than. Does the notes user have proper permissions to write? Do you get any messages on the screen at all if you redirect? Try only to redirect the output and not the error and see what happens than (don’t specify 2>&1 and leave the &).
