Domino Server 6.0.1 Trial Linux: Installation fails - missing lotusini.tpl?

Dear All,

I’m trying to install the linux trial version on a SuSE 8.2 PC according to redbook. But the installation dies at a certain point. The same exeption on two different machines with SuSE 8.2.

This is what get when it stops:

…

The OS appears to have the correct patches .

Installing Domino Server kits except template files …

An unexpected error occured during post-install processing:

Died at /tmp/lotus/linux/tools/lib/NIC.pm line 2100.

/tmp/lotus/linux/tools/lib/NIC.pm line 3028

The installation failed for the local host.

Same error on both machines. The file NIC.pm seems to look for a file named lotusini.tpl wich is apparently not existing.

No Lotus software has been installed before.

I’m installing from within /tmp directory using default settings (except this try I took the error message from → without templates). /opt/lotus is owned by root:root and /local/notesdata by notes:notes.

Any hint?

Greetings from Berlin, Germany

Dear Ulrich,

after a I downloaded the tar-file again it worked! Than I found out that the extracted linux directory from the first download had only 116083 KB (which is of course by far less than the original tra-file - I know now). Quite strange that extracting went on without errors. Twice. So its not the first thing to check if the installation routine fails.

Anyway, I just write this (even the answer to my question is almost too simple to post) to help others having same problems somehow.

bye and say hello to Ulrich :wink:

Ulrich

this is what I get within the correct extracted linux-directory:

…/linux # du -s .
