Topic: Lotus Domino 6 for Linux

[Amazing Iceman]

Any Luck installing Lotus Domino 6 for Linux on SME Server???

Installation goes fine, but when I try to run it, It  keeps saying: Permission Denied.
I think it has to do with the account I'm trying to use to run it.
By default it does not allow using root to run the server (I'm going to try to modify the startup script as a last resort),

In the meantime, my cuestion is:

How can I make a regular account a member or the root group without messing up SME Server?

Thanks for your help.

You could try adduser.

Thank you, but that does not work! I already tried that.

(Make sure you know what you are talking about before you reply, please.)

Hello Iceman,

Login at the console as root

Create a new user

  adduser notes

Give the user Notes a password

  passwd notes

Create a dir in /va/log/notes

  mkdir /var/log/notes

change ownership

  chown notes.notes /var/log/notes

Edit  /home/notes/.bashrc and add the follow users alias

  export PATH=$PATH:/ opt/ lotus/bin:/ Local/notesdata

Then you install lotus notes on the server and provide it whith the richt inlog names

I have seen on the Internet somewhere a story how to install lotus domino on a SME 5.5. server. But on this moment I cant find it where this was.

Goodluck

Johan

It is on www.jimmix.de.

There are some Problems with the masq rules if in
Server & Gateway mode.

It is for R5 on SME 5.1.x // 5.5 only  as 5.6 now uses iptables

libjitc.so might not be needed, in my R 5.0.11 it is included.

I'm working to correct the Problems as soon as I have a spare pc.

Hope someone can shed some light on this for me?

I have installed domino 6 on SME 5.6 and have been succesful up until the point that I need to logon to the domino setup using a browser on the nertwork. I point browser as indicacted to http://IP_ADDRESS:8081 but I just cannot get connected.

Can anyone help

Hi Jochen,

As soon as you have the time, please send me your address, and I’ll send you a small PIII - 500 Mhz - 256 gb ram, 40 gb HD server for free.

I'm addicted to your beautiful work on getting the Lotus Domino server to work on the SME server.

And, yes I’m still running on the 5.5, as I haven't had the skills to get it to work on the 5.6 version. Even though you send med a revised script.

Are you still working abroad? If, then keep passing those open windows...

Cheers

Dennis

I have been fully sucessful installing Domino 6 on SME 5.6  on a number of different installs now and am going to publish a "How to" soon on my web site. I will post a link soon.

Hi Nigel,

Was the SME 5.6 configured as “server-gateway” ?

[Nigel]

SME was installed as server gateway. Originally the server had one NIC card and 56K Modem. I had domino sending and receiving multidrop and replication with no problem.

I latter went DSL and took out modem so a new install was required. I had the SME setup with five users in 20mins and domino up and running with all cert.id and server.ids and 5 users setup in a further 20mins.

Not a bad alternative to MS Exchange on Win Server or MS SBS, time saved and of course all the extras that MS can only dream of.

Hi Nigel,

How about all the services that conflict with the standard SME?
E.g. standard web service on port 80?
Have you made an setup & config script?

[Nigel]

You have to decide prior to install waht services you want the SME and Domino to do. For the install process you have to stop certain services. Once domino has been installed (Which is totally configurable by connection docs) you can then restart the services required on the SME. For instance, configure Domino over seperate ports for http and so on. I will be posting a how to on my web site at a latter date but the configuration of the Domino server is very much up to you. If you just need the features for replication then all is very simple. However if you require all features of domino, configuration of the domino server is required.

Hi Nigel,

Any chance that you had finished the howto?

For anyone that's interested, I have posted a 'How to' for installing Domino 6.5 on SME 5.6.  Go to www.westcountrybusiness.com and click on the SME How To's link.

Its an early draft & so all comments, corrections & feedback will be most welcome.

D6.5 installs BEAUTIFULLY onto SME 6.01...

Only issue is that the server-manager is no longer available, in your guide you say it will be on http://ip:980/server-manager - but i get acess denied...not a big deal, stop http in Dominio and start it in sme.

Additionally, if you use the default settings of D6.5 POP and IMAP are launched at initial startup causing some MINOR Domino network errors, as the ports are in use, i just stopped these imap and popd services in SME...

Last time i did this was RH and R5x - it was no WHERE near as smooth as R6.5 = worked a treated - thanks.

PS include a section on installing from the CD -

1. mount /mnt/cdrom
2. cd /mnt/cdrom/linux/
3. ./install

http://ip:980/server-manager is wrong.
you need either
http://ip:980
or
http://ip/server-manager
not both.

[pete]

The above doesnt work either. I get "the connectiobn was refused when attempting to connect to ..."

[Boris]

Where is second instance of apache running on the port 980 for the admin purpose. You may have shut it down too.
Try to start it by
service httpd-admin start
