Domino 8.5 not starting as a service on Windows 2008

Hi all, got the following problem:

Installing Domino 8.5 on a freshly installed Windows 2008 core doesn’t want to start as

a service. When starting as a ‘normal’ application the Domino is running smooth.

But when trying to run it as a service, Domino starts and within a second it stops.

Anyone got a solution for this? IBM?

Regards,

Ronald

When copying an Domino environement to a windows 2008 server it’s starting as a service.So it’s confusing, going to compare some inin’s :slight_smile:

Subject: Time to open a PMR

You should go ahead and open a PMR for this issue, as it will be difficult to resolve through the forum.

Subject: What is response from IBM?

I have the same problem. Did you get answer from IBM?

Subject: my solution

I solved it by entering controller’s IP address despite I have no partition server but single server.

Thanks for your hint. I confirm the problem is still present in domino 8.5.3 and windows 2008 R2. I have only one NIC and I solved.

Greetings

Subject: works

Works for me…moved a Domino Server 8.5.3 on Windows server 2003 (32bit) to a Windows server 2008R2 (64bit)

added those 2 ini settings:

TCPIP_TcpIpAddress=0,8.55.128.173:1352

TCPIP_ControllerTcpIpAddress=8.55.128.173:2052

done.

So it seems not to be fixed in the version 8.5.3

Subject: it works, thx

You may want to evaluate the following. Windows Server 2008 is fully supported now so if you have any issues you can also open up a PMR and support will help.

Hi Ronald,

Did you already solve the problem?

I have the same issue.

Subject: Data?

Is the server crashing? If so, check for the associated NSD in the IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT directory. If there’s no NSD, what is in the log file?

Subject: No log’s

There are no logs, cause the Domino server is starting as a service but within half a second it’s stopped
