Installing Fixpack 2: Couldn't find strings.res

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

Hi,

At the end of install dialog (when update starts) this message appears:
… Couldn’t find strings.res in /opt/ibm/domino - will attempt to use default
I’ve done this to determine LANG:
[root@zeus2 domino]# echo $LANG en_US.UTF-8
The res directory of program path looks as this:
[root@zeus2 res]# pwd /opt/ibm/domino/notes/90010/linux/res [root@zeus2 res]# ll total 12 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Sep 7 16:46 C drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 8 09:49 en_US.UTF-8
I’ve done this on 4 other servers without any problems. They had in some cases only the C directory in res.

What can i do ?

Thanks

Uwe

Subject: Missing language directory

Steps to resolve:

echo $LANG (resulted in my local settings - en_ZA)

find / -name strings.res (/opt/ibm/domino/notes/90010/linux/res/C/strings.res)

Note no local language directory !

Copied /opt/ibm/domino/notes/90010/linux/res/C/. to /opt/ibm/domino/notes/90010/linux/res/C/en_ZA/

Installation settings:

Program directory : /opt/ibm/domino
Data directory : /local/notesdata
UNIX user : notes
UNIX group : notes

Subject: Reason: faulty .install.dat

This file resists in /opt/ibm/domino

It contains among other thinks installation path.

In my case this was wrong and fixpack installation uses this information.
