i’ve installed domino 6.5 on fedora1/rhel3. because of the known “…segmentation fault…” problem, i’m not able to start the domino server.
i want to update to release 6.5.1 (using the incremental installer), but i get an error message “…no valid domino server installation found…”.
i’m not able to start/stop domino 6.5, so i’m looking for a workaround.
thanks,
boban

Hi,
I was just asked about properbly the same problem.
An incrementall installer to 6.5.1 could not “find” the properly installed 6.5 version.
But i ws told that the incremental worked if it was started with a dat-file:
“./install -script /tmp/script.dat”
Simply fill out the dat-file for only the one server.
I have not seen it myself but you should give it a try.
Hope this helps.

PS: If you can get a full installation package (from passport adv.) use it rather then the incremental.

Hello, the script file is included in incremental, then with command:
./install -script script.dat
works fine 
Best regards, Hyacinth.

That did it. Thanks for the tip.
Interestingly enough, after I ran the incremental installer, the HTTP and DIIOP tasks wouldn’t start. They complained about a missing libzlib.so file. I downloaded the latest GNUpdate/libcomprex binaries and copied the libzlib.so file to /opt/lotus/notes/latest/bin.

For Solaris 9 (SPARC), I reinstalled 6.5 in a tmp dir (program & data) and copied libzlib.so
cp /tmp/lotus/notes/65000/sunspa/libzlib.so /opt/lotus/notes/65010/sunspa/

Hi Boban,
First of all, when you have a question, try to give more details like OS used, and when the problem comes up.
Now, I don’t like to upgrade to solve this kind of problems. I never had this message since late release 5. I propose to uninstall fully your server, then install 6.5 again, and test if it’s working. Then start restoring system dabases one by one. This will get some time, but it’s the best way to do. If you have no problems, start restoring other databases in groups of 10% of the total. Once you restore databases, you will get sure this database isn’t the one crashing the server.
When you finnish this stage, wait a few days and start incremental upgrade.
Regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
I think Boban did say what OS it was. Look at at the Posted by: lines; at the end of the 2nd one, you will see the OS category that he picked. Granted, the information in those lines doesn’t exactly leap to meet the eye.

Why not get the full installation for 6.5.1 server, and install that?
Subject: incremental installer (6.5.1)
Same problem but on RHEL 2.1. “A valid Domino server installation could not be found.” when there is a valid, properly working copy installed.

fyi.
same issue on Suse 9.0
./install -script script.dat
worked here also.
