Domino 8.5 on Fedora 10

First, and before I get some nasty response, I am new to Linux…… Well installing Domino…

Here is my problem, my company wants to drop Windows 2003 for Redhat Linux, we run Oracle on Linux and it has work great. Now we are planning to move Domino to Linux. I setup the first Linux server, and a Fedora 10 server. I installed Domino 8.5 on F10, no issues during the installation. I follow the instructions for the installation of Domino on Linux,. My question is how do I setup the server after the installation? Following the installation I can’t see to get the server setup come up…

Help…….

Subject: Installing Domino on linux

Hi,

when I install Domino on Linux systems I used to setup Domino remotely.

During the installation procedure, at the question to manually setup Domino, answer yes.

After the installation finishes, you have to log with the right user selected during installation with the command

su -

next, you have to position to the data directory

cd

next you have to launch the command

/opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server -listen

this is for turn the server on in listen mode.

Next in your notes client (with administrator installed) you have to launch the program “Remote server setup”. It is a java program to setup the server. It asks for the server ip. Next the Domino setup starts like in windows.

When you finish, you can launch domino server with command

/opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server

On IBM site you can find the script for starting domino on linux as a service.

Hope it helps

Subject: another way to setup on Linux

you can do it without windows machine and admin clientif you have linux box with X

===========you need real paths & names======

su - notes

export DISPLAY=my.linuX.here:0.0

xhost + (repeat on both machine)

cd /local/notesdata

/opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server (Setup window opens on linux box, if X server working)

Subject: No icons?

After installation, you should now have a “Lotus Domino Server” icon on your Fedora desktop. There will also be an entry for “Lotus Domino Server” under Applications->Office on the main Fedora menu.

If you don’t see them, then maybe something’s gone wrong. Please see guide at:
