Domino 6.5 HTTP on RedHat Linux

I’ve scoured the forum and saw many people mentioning the problem with HTTP on Linux just sitting in an “Initializing” state, but no solutions.

I am having this problem now and would like to rectify this before going live on Monday.

My Linux Guru is stumped, and I as the resident CLP haven’t got a clue.

Domino 6.5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 2.1 Standard, on brand new Monster IBM Netfinity.

Thanks

Greg

Greg,Perhaps a Java VM issue? Some of the newer Linuxes have new JVMs (1.4x) installed which cause HTTP crashes and hangs. Check where the symbolic link for “java” in the Domino program directory is pointing. If you do java -version in a shell session what do you get? I believe 6.5 is only happy on Java 1.3.1 at the moment.

You may find that installing IBM’s 1.3.1 JVM on the machine (don’t bother uninstalling the other version) and pointing the symbolic link for the Domino “java” file to the java file in the IBM Java install and also symlinking the Domino “jvm” directory to the appropriate place in the IBM Java install may help. Worth a try, given your deadline.

Cheers, Ian

My Linux guy figured it out!!

I guess the kernel out of the box is the multi-processor kernel. Our box only has one processor. When he changed to the single-processor Kernel, everything worked great!!

Gregory,Glad you got it fixed - odd that Domino would start but not the HTTP task? Useful information for the future though!
