I’d like to start my domino server on Windows 2000 as a service with the Java controller. So far I haven’t found a way to do this. Anyone has?

Thanks. However, if I add -jc to my key in the registry, the result is a little popup window on startup saying Notes 6.0.1, 7 feb 2003. And that’s it. No Domino server. Any ideas?

Strange - it works this way on dozen of my servers…

Maybe something wrong on your machine?

have you checked if it possible to start Domino under Java Controller from command prompt?

nserver -jc

(I assume you have only one partition)

It turned out to be a problem with the pathname of Domino in the services. My pathname had spaces in it, so my service had “” around the pathname. Once i had moved my server to a directory with a path without spaces, I removed the “” in the service and it worked fine…

If you don’t want to move your Domino installation, you can use DOS 8.3 filenaming for the path.

For example, ImagePath =

c:\progra~1\Lotus\Domino\nservice.exe =c:\progra~1\Lotus\Domino\notes.ini -jc

[Note that you need a space after nservice.exe and before the =]
