Domino 6.5 w/ Fedora (or RH9). Attempts? Success?

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi all you Bleeding-Edgers,

Has anyone else tried to get Domino running under Fedora Core or even Redhat 9?

Here are the results of my attempts under Fedora Pre-3.

  1. Installation worked like a charm.

  2. Server setup required that I modify the serversetup script to use my own version of of Java; I changed the last line to run from /usr/j2re1.4.2_20/bin/java instead of ./java . After that change, setup ran as expected.

  3. After configuring Domino for SMTP the problems start… Shutting down the server hangs on the SMTP task.

  4. To finish things off, loat http causes an immediate crash. Error? “- Child Terminated from signal 11”

I’ve tried replacing the java link to point to another JVM.

I’ve tried export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5

I’ve tried all sorts of different network configs/bindings.

But still nothing…

Any other ideas? Any successes? Please share.

Thanks,

J.

Problem is in JVM in domino.You must download new JDK from IBM (version 1.3.1 SR6 or higher), install it to system and run

/opt/lotus/bin/notesjre -n /opt/lotus/notes/latest/linux -j JRE_DIRECTORY

where JRE_DIRECTORY is the location of the JRE root directory (for example, /opt/IBMJava2-131/jre ).

Hi,

I notice that the date of this posting is relatively old (ie last year) but I am hoping that someone will read this and be able to see what I have done wrong.

I have fully patched fedora core 1.0 and am currently trying to setup Domino 6.5.1 on it. The install is fine, no probs. But I have HEAPS of probs with the setup.

Firstly, I am not sure how to proceed after that.

I install as user root from cd. If I choose local server install, when it tries to launch the server setup I get an error about permission denied.

So I run manual server setup, and when I run /opt/lotus/bin/server I get an error that says “You must install the Domino SErver in order to run the setup program”

I have installed the latest jre from solaris website and enabled it using the instructions in this posting. Prior to this the instruction was just hanging. If I try to run serversetup I get a java error about not being able to find the WizardManagerDomino.

Please could someone tell me where I am going wrong?

Thanks, Gillian

I found the answer in one of the other posts from Peter Stoz

"

It is works, but not supported by IBM.

Required packages:

compat-libstdc+±7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm

IBMJava2-JRE-1.3.1-6.0.i386.rpm

Symlink the /jre to /opt/lotus/notes/65000/linux/jvm

And add the following line to (notes’) .bash_profile :

export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.0

"

But instead of the symlink I ran /opt/lotus/bin/notesjre /opt/lotus/notes/latest/linux -j /opt/IBMJava2-131/jre

as the notes user.

Once I had done this, the server just popped up.

Thanks so much for this great source of info.

Hi I agree with you.

and i have never see any comments from lotus/ibm regards that problem …

to adding export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5

is not a true solution…and you will face other problem if you run the JRE from SUN…

and the Main Problem is that Domino on Linux do not support NTPL and newer LIBC… therefor you must allways install ++compatlib …

I would be very happy to have som comments from developer from IBM/Lotus,

We would to have a domino based on newer lib…
