I have installed Domino 8.5 on a Linux box (RHEL 5) and upon completing the install I cannot find the /bin/server folder. I have taken all the defaults on the install and can’t help but feel I am doings something wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Subject: Domino 8.5 install on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
There is not a folder called “server”. I think you’re referring to the instructions show the command to start the Domino service. You may be a little confused as to what to do once Domino is installed on Redhat. Try this:
From a command shell, switch to the “notes” user you created.
su notes
You need to be in the data when you start the Domino service. Navigate to the Domino data folder. You’ll have to remember (or find out) where you installed the data files. The default is /local/notesdata/
$ cd /local/notesdata
Once you’ve got to the data folder, start the Domino service by entering the server command
$ /opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server
That should do it. Remember though, you’ll need to start Domino this way each time the server reboots. If you want it to start automatically, you can request a script and files that will configure your Redhat server to run Domino as a service: Domino for Unix/Linux Start-Script
Let me know if you need more help.
