Desktop HTTP Process

HCL Domino Domino Forum

For one reason or another we do not have a true test environment, so I have to develop and test using the Notes nhttp.exe process located in my local \notes directory. Since I upgraded to from Notes 5 to Notes 6 nine months I have not been able to run servlets on my local desktop, and now I am finding out that cgi calls from within notes no longer work either. Again all of this (servlets, cgi, etc.) worked FINE under Notes 5, the upgrade to Notes 6 seens to have broken it all. The notes.ini and servlets.properties files are in tact.

I have seen post about the Webadmin.nsf and the web retriever process needing to be installed/started, but this seems to apply only to a FULL BLOWN DOMINO SERVER, not the LOCAL desktop HTTP process. Do they apply here? I have not seen a server document for my local PC anywhere. Does one exist? Can everything be configured in the Notes.ini, if so, how?

Bottom line: How do I get this HTTP process to work correctly on the desktop?

Help, please!

Thanks.

Why not just install a Domino 6 server on your client PC. All it takes is some memory. And then you havce a proper test environment.

I most definitely agree that that would be the best approach to this problem. I even asked that of our Notes’ Administrator that same question nearly 6 months ago, and I just got a puzzled look and a comment of “That’s interesting”. And I haven’t heard anything on the topic since. I figure I’ll have to wait and fight that battle some other day, in the mean time I need to figure a way to get my desktop environment back in working order.
