------------------------------------------
Preparation of Installation
------------------------------------------
1. login root
2. create group notes via yast
3. create user notes via yast
4. mount CD (make sure not to use "nosuid" flag) like mount /dev/sr0 /cdrom
5. run /cdrom/linux/install
6. install notes in /opt/lotus & /local/notesdata
7. make sure all files have owner&group notes
- chown -R -h notes:notes /opt/lotus
- chown -R -h notes:notes /local/notesdata
8. make sure files have right permissions
- chmod -R 550 /opt/lotus
- chmod -R 700 /local/notesdata
9. make sure special file has root/daemon rights
for accessing ports < 1024 via notes user
- chown root:notes /opt/lotus/notes/latest/linux/bindsock
- chmod 4550 /opt/lotus/notes/latest/linux/bindsock
10. add Notes and JAVA libs to LIB search path
append the following lines to /etc/ld.so.conf
/opt/lotus/notes/latest/linux
11. add some environment settings in .profile of notes user
export LOTUS=/opt/lotus
export NOTES_DATA_DIR=/local/notesdata
export Notes_ExecDirectory=$LOTUS/notes/latest/linux
export PATH=$PATH:$NOTES_DATA_DIR:$Notes_ExecDirectory:$Notes_ExecDirectory/res/C
12. Set the apporiate time&date settings, because they are not read from OS like on NT
Example for Germany:
DateOrder=DMY
ClockType=24_HOUR
DateSeparator=.
TimeSeparator=:
------------------------------------------
Run Configuration
------------------------------------------
1. login as user notes
2. change to data directory via cd /local/notesdata
3. start the http setup via /opt/lotus/bin/http httpsetup
A series of messages indicate the start of the Domino server. For example:
02/18/2000 10:49:35 AM Created new log file as
/local1/6.0_0218_Ent_dom/lotus/notesdata/log.nsf
02/18/2000 10:49:35 AM
*****************************************
* Lotus Domino Server Setup *
* To setup this server, please connect *
* your web browser to port 8081 *
* Example: http://this.server.com:8081 *
*****************************************
02/18/2000 10:49:36 AM JVM: Java Virtual Machine initialized.
02/18/2000 10:49:38 AM HTTP Web Server started
4. You begin the configuration process by connecting to your Linux server
with a Web browser, either from an external machine, or the Linux machine.
to perform setup from another machine, enter:
http://servername.mydomain.com:8081
to perform setup from the Linux machine, enter:
http://localhost:8081
where servername.mydomain.com is either the IP address or DNS name of your
Linux server. At this point, the standard Domino configuration screens
are displayed in your browser.
------------------------------------------
Automatic start on SuSE Linux
------------------------------------------
1. copy rc script domino to /sbin/init.d/
2. copy start_domino & stop_domino scripts to /opt/lotus/bin
3. change the following lines in /etc/rc.config
a.) append
--- snip ---
# Set to yes to allow to start the Lotus Domino Server
START_DOMINO="yes"
#
--- snip ---
b.) modify
--- snip ---
#disables Apache httpd
START_HTTPD=no
#disables mail daemon / SMTP
SMTP=no
--- snip ---
4. add links to one of the run level (e.g 3) directories via
cd /sbin/init.d/rc3.d
link -s ../domino S80domino
link -s ../domino K80domino
5. after finishing the configuration change
runlevel via init 3 to start domino server
----------------------------------
/opt/lotus/bin/start_domino
----------------------------------
#! /bin/sh
if [ `id -u` = 0 ]
then
echo "ERROR: root can not run the Lotus Domino Server"
exit 1
fi
export PATH=$PATH:/local/notesdata
/opt/lotus/bin/server < /dev/null > /home/notes/server.log &
exit 0
----------------------------------
/opt/lotus/bin/stop_domino
----------------------------------
#! /bin/sh
export PATH=$PATH:/local/notesdata
/opt/lotus/bin/server -q < /dev/null > /dev/null &
count=0
while
[`ps -ef | grep "/opt/lotus/notes" | grep -v "grep" | wc -l` -ne 0 ]
do
sleep 2
count=`expr $count + 1`
if [ $count = 61 ]
then
exit 1
fi
done
exit 0
----------------------------------
/sbin/init.d/domino
----------------------------------
#! /bin/sh
#
# Lotus Domino Server rc script
# April 2000, Hilden/Germany.
# Author: Daniel Nashed, nsh@nashcom.de
#
# /sbin/init.d/domino
. /etc/rc.config
# Determine the base and follow a runlevel link name.
base=${0##*/}
link=${base#*[SK][0-9][0-9]}
# Force execution if not called by a runlevel directory.
test $link = $base && START_DOMINO=yes
test "$START_DOMINO" = yes || exit 0
# The echo return value for success (defined in /etc/rc.config).
return=$rc_done
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting Lotus Domino Server "
startproc -u notes /opt/lotus/bin/start_domino || return=$rc_failed
echo -e "$return"
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down Lotus Domino Server "
/opt/lotus/bin/stop_domino || return=$rc_failed
echo -e "$return"
;;
restart)
$0 stop && $0 start || return=$rc_failed
;;
reload)
$0 stop && $0 start || return=$rc_failed
;;
status)
echo -n "Checking for Lotus Domino Server: "
checkproc /opt/lotus/bin/server && echo OK || echo No process
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart|reload}"
exit 1
;;
esac
test "$return" = "$rc_done" || exit 1
exit 0
------------------------------------------
Optional after install & config
------------------------------------------
1. To void change of servertasks after installation
notes.ini setting
SetupLeaveServerTasks=1
2. Make sure DST Law is correct
notes.ini setting
DSTLAW=3,-1,1,10,-1,1
------------------------------------------
Installing on partitioned machine
------------------------------------------
1. Create additional users
2. Duplicate Notes Data directory
like /local/notesdata2
3. Set right file owner
chown -R -h notes2:notes /local/notesdata2
4. Add alias IP addresses to the IP stack
add lines like this to /sbin/init.d/network
ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.96.112
ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.96.113
/sbin/route add -host 192.168.96.112 dev eth0:0
/sbin/route add -host 192.168.96.113 dev eth0:1
5. Add the following lines to the corresponding notes.ini
and set the an unique IP address for each partition specified in step 4
This has changed in R5!!!
Before a notes.ini partition=n was used.
The name of the partition is the data directory!
TCPIP_TcpConnectTimeout=0,30
TCPIP_TcpIpAddress=0,192.168.96.111
SMTPNotesPort=TCPIP
POP3NotesPort=TCPIP
LDAPNotesPort=TCPIP
NNTPNotesPort=TCPIP
IMAPNotesPort=TCPIP
