Upgrade/migration 6.5.4 (win2k3 32bit) to 8.5.1 (win2k8 R2 64bit)

Hello,

we have a problem. We are trying to migrate Domino 6.5.4 currently running on Windows 2003 Standard (32bit) to Windows 2008 R2 (64bit).

Steps we took:

  • stopped Domino on old server

  • migration of data folder to new server

  • physical shutdown of old server

  • install & setup Domino 8.5.1 FP3 (64bit)

though this is a tested migration/upgrade procedure we encounter a strange problem.

“The Lotus Domino Server (DDominoData) service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.”

Then we did another “Clean” install of Domino in another directory and it started without any problems.

Tried to insert old Data and we got the same error as before.

We did a clean setup (removed old notes.ini) but the problem remains.

I know that Windows 2008 R2 (64bit) is not officially supported, but our client wouldn’t listen to us. Another company ‘supports’ Windows enviroment.

.out files tell us this:

"createServerSocket=Unrecognized Windows Sockets error: 0: JVM_Bind

Unable to open listener socket: Unrecognized Windows Sockets error: 0: JVM_Bind

Domino Server Controller exiting: Listener startup timed out.

Please check if another Server Controller instance is running in the same data directory"

No other DOmino server is running. No other software is running on w2k8.

We even tried removing Domino service from ‘services’ and then reaplying it (ntvisnt.exe) with no luck.

No lock files in data or program directories.

We will try and reproduce the problem in our own test enviroment with production data.

Any ideas how to tackle this problem will be appretiated.

Thank you in advance.

Exact same error messages.

Domino 8.5.2

Traveler 8.5.2

Since applying Windows updates early Dec2010, service would start and stop 10 seconds later.

Domino could be run as an application but this in unsatisfactory, requiring the account to stay logged in.

The updates apparently contain a lot of security updates, and may be blocking certain ports.

“netstat -a” from the command prompt didn’t show that port 2050 was listening.

Disabling the Windows Firewall service had no effect.

Solution that worked for me was to remove the updates and now it starts as a service again.
