Domino server setup problem: data path not correct

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I’ve installed a Domino R6.01CF1 server on RedHat according to http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/SG246835.html. So far so good. Troubles start when I try to start the remote setup. I start it from the notesdata directory (as I should according to the redbook). Then I get a popup window telling me "You must specify a valid data path

backup".

When I take a look at setuplog.txt I see:

Startup arguments = -data backup -data /domino/lotus/notes/60010/linux/LotusXSL.jar -data /domino/lotus/ (etc)

Creating new WizardData instance

argument 0 -data

Processing -data parameter

*Error invalid data directory= backup

but where does it get this parameter? I’ve setup everything according to the redbook, made PATH changes etc.

Who can bring some light to this?

ok now i’m going mad. I tried a 6.0 domino for linux and gues what. It works. I did the same things as with the 6.0.1.

I’m puzzled now what could be the problem

Hi,

i guess now we are the only two having this problem.

First I tried installing 6.0.1 on RedHat 9. After many days i thought ‘NO not with me’. So I reinstalled RedHat with version 8.

We have already 3 server with RedHat8 and Domino 6.0 (and 2 server with Redhat 7.2 with Domino 5.09a). I upgraded also the 3 Domino 6.0 server to 6.0.1CF1. Everything works fine.

So now, a new Linux Redhat 8 server and I thought I install 6.0.1 so I don’t have to make the upgrade later AND…

the same error like you got: “You must specify a valid data directory: backup”

I looked a while, but now I will also install 6.0 and then make the upgrade…

Once you issue ‘server -listen’ command, it will expand into ‘server -listen’. In your case, it has taken an invalid argument which is ‘backup’. So, you may try issuing the following command:

$ server ./java -ss512k -Xoss5M -cp jhall.jar:cfgdomserver.jar:Notes.jar lotus.domino.setup.WizardManagerDomino -data /domino/lotus/(etc) -listen.

Hope this helps you!!!
