Domino on RH7.3 problem with starting a fresh install

I have never seen this problem before, and I think I have installed on RH7.3 with no problems.

When I try and start the domino server for the first time (using /opt/lotus/bin/server or /opt/lotus/latest/linux/notes/serversetup) even from a script which changes to the /local/notesdata directory, under the uid of notes with the same group I get the following message:

./java -ss512k -xoss5m -cp j.hall.jar: cfgdserver.jar : notes.jar lotus.domino.setup WizardManagerDomion -data /local/notesdata

Please edit your shell’s DISPLAY enviroment variable to reflect an unlocked terminal that you would like to launch the domion setup program on.

  • warning all runtime debug info will be logged to /local/notesdata/setuplog.txt

As far as i know this this is just a standard RH7.3 install, with no graphical interface. I didn’t install the OS, so is there something missing from it?

thanks

I was under the impression that Domino 6 required a GUI. A quick Google search produced the following:

The setup is no longer browser-based in R6. You need to export your

display (something like the following):

DISPLAY=:0.0

export DISPLAY

if you’re doing this locally. Otherwise you’ll need a machine name before

the :0.0.

Then when you run http httpsetup it’ll pop up a swing-based GUI thingy to do

all

the same configuration steps as in the browser before. I had to find this

out

the hard way myself.

If you have no X on Linux use -listen and connect with remote Server Setup (Part of Admin Client installation)
