I have domino 5 running in SuSE linux, and generally it is doing pretty good. The problem is the web server used by domino is listening on the internal interface, which makes it useless for our sales people in the field. I have googled the crap out of this, as well as searched the domino forums, and found nothing. Does anyone know where to change the interface the Domino web server runs on? I know it is a long shot, but I figured I would try here before completely wiping and reinstalling.

May I hyjack this thread. I am having problems starting domino R6.5 for linux. No one seems to want to help. I have posted questions on the IBM fourm, but now answer as of yet. If you can offer help I post my question.

I found the problem! It turns out the directive 'BIND SPECIFIC' is set to yes by default in domino.cfg, causing the server to bind to the first ip address it finds for the machine name. In cases where eth0 is the internal interface of the machine, that is what it will bind to. Simply reversing the order in /etc/hosts and rebooting the machine cures the problem, as the machine then finds the external ip address first. Hope this helps someone someday.

Sure, hijack away, my issue is resolved. What error are you getting when attempting to start the server?

I am ruinning fedora 3 kernel 2.6.9-1.681 .
When I go to start the server it doesn't do anything. It wont even bring me back to a prompt. This is the first time that I have installed Domino for linux. If you can give me some tips it would me nice. I am not really sure what I am doing.

Are you cding into the /local/notesdata directory before you run /opt/lotus/bin/server?

Did you follow the partitioning scheme and user creation set forth in the install guide?

Yep. Thats exactly how I do it and it sits at the promt. I did a single notes install and used all the default settings.

Check /var/log/messages for any helpful error messages.

-bash-3.00$ /opt/lotus/bin/server
./java -ss512k -Xoss5M -cp jhall.jar:cfgdomserver.jar:Notes.jar lotus.domino.set
up.WizardManagerDomino -data /local/notesdata
Please edit your shell's DISPLAY environment variable to reflect an unlocked ter
minal that you would like to launch the Domino Setup Program on.
*Warning all runtime debug info will be logged to /local/notesdata/setuplog.txt
-bash-3.00$

What do I do here. Acutually I did this by using ssh. I think if I log in via terminal it just sits there. Let me see and I will be back.
cat setuplog.txt

PC!!!!!!!! I need help!!!!!!!!

The display error is caused by a security feature preventing other users from launching apps on the display of the user in control of the X server, at least that is my understanding of it. See this thread for the solution to that issue. Once that is out of the way try again and see if you get less errors.

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to this, I had family issues as well as the flu this past week.

Thanks, I got it working by doing the remote server setup.

Hi!! you did manage to install domino right?! i had this error when i tried to install Domino:

./java -ss512k -Xoss5M -cp jhall.jar:cfgdomserver.jar:Notes.jar lotus.domino.setup.WizardManagerDomino -data /local/notesdata
Error status: 2816


What the hell is this?!?!?!

i'm using Suse 10 OSS and domino R6
my PC specs:

PIII 400Mhz
RAM 256 MB

You must use the remote setup utility thats on the cd. Just follow your manual and it will tell you how, or get back with me.

i see..so, is it the part of the installation where it lets you choose between "Manual Server Setup", "Local Server Setup" and "Remote Server setup"??... Anyways, i'll try it first..i'll get back to you for any problems...Thanks 4 replying...

Hi! i tried selecting the Remote Server setup and.......same error happens..i browsed my CD and there are no other remote utilities that can be found in there...is your manual a softcopy?? can you send it to me please? (bra-100031@apc.edu.ph or lenny_619@hellokitty.com)

Or do you have any step by step documentation of your whole installation process?? anywayz, thanks
