I get the following erro whenever I reboot my W2K box and Domino try to startup automatically as a service:
box title–>“server setup”
error messasge–>“you must specify a valid data directory”
but everything is correct on my setup and configuration along with all of the registry settings set correctly!
If anyone has seen or heard of this before, please let me know and respond to this post
Thanks!

How about HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services<Your Service Name>\ImagePath
(here’s mine:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Domino R6
ImagePath=C:\R6devel\Domino\nSERVICE.EXE =C:\Domino\notes.ini
)
If that’s correct, does the notes.ini that it points to contain a valid data directory?

check for the notes.ini file (or files? search to be sure) and look for your data directory in the .ini file.
Make sure it matches the path of your data directory on the server.
You say it won’t start automatically, but does it work when you manually run it (from the start menu)? If it does, it kind of blows my “bad notes.ini” theory away…

I had the same problem. Turned out to be an access rights (to the data directory) problem. Once I changed the domino service “to logon as” my-userID, problem was solved.
