Problems with the Directory entry in Notes.ini

The Directory= line in my Notes.ini keeps changing on me. This points to the Domino Data directory (e.g. “e:\notes\data”). However, with my server on 6.5.1, something keeps changing it to the Domino PROGRAM directory (e.g. “c:\program files\notes”). After this, the server is not responding do user requests anymore. I can locally enter commandos, but some fail because of the wrong entry for “Directory”

I can’t figure out what is changing my notes.ini. To fix it, i have to restore an old notes.ini and restart the server.

But, sometimes the next day, sometimes a few weeks later the notes.ini gets updated again.

Has anyone else experienced this???

Subject: Try and check this

you have to create a configuration document.open your admin client, select configuration tab and create a configuration document for this server. goto “notes.ini settings” and modify notes.ini parameter. add parameter of directory.do this no your hub server and push it to the another server which one do not works correctly. at the end restart the domino server again. you have to difine this document just for this server.

reg
