Log in as “root”. Open a terminal session. Add a user and group to
your system called notes
:
bash# adduser notes
Give this new user a password by entering:
bash# passwd notes
Mount the CD-ROM, and enter the following command to install the Lotus Domino R5 package:
bash# /mnt/cdrom/dom509ux/linux/install
The install program displays a series of screens about the IBM Lotus license agreement. Use the TAB key to accept a setting and advance to the next screen, the ESC key to back up to the previous screen, the space bar to toggle through possible choices other than the default, and ENTER to edit a text field.
Select a setup type. Choose Domino Mail Server, Domino Application Server, or Domino Enterprise Server and press TAB.
Select the program file location. The default is
/opt/lotus
.
Make sure you have enough space. The installed files in the program directory
are approximately 70 MB. If you select a program directory other than
/opt/lotus
, then a soft link will be created from
your program directory to /opt/lotus
so that
commands may be executed from that path.
Indicate if you plan a number of Domino servers on the current
physical machine. The default is No
.
Select the data file location. The default is
/local/notesdata
. If you do
not have a large root partition it will not work. If so, change the
directory to /usr/local/notesdata
.
If you ignore this during installation process, later you will get an error like this one:
Error validation settings: There is not enough disk space for the data directory at /local/notesdata 125889K is required, and only 95370K would be available. Make sure you have enough space.
The installed files in the data directory are approximately 160 MB.
Select the user and group for this server. Choose the default
that you set up earlier (notes
in the example).
The install program displays the settings you selected. Use the TAB key to accept these settings and begin the installation, or press the ESC key to back up to change any settings. The install program will then begin installing the files.
During installation process you may see the warning:
The following system commands were not located: rsh.
It does not influence the local server installation.
After successful installation, this message will be displayed among others:
The installation completed successfully.

Log on to Linux as the user you established earlier (notes
in
the example).
Change to the directory /usr/local/notesdata
(/local/notesdata
for SuSE) by entering:
bash# cd / bash# cd /usr/local/notesdata and then enter the following: bash# /opt/lotus/bin/http httpsetup
A series of messages indicate the start of the Domino server. For example:
05/09/2002 8:39:09 PM Created new log file as /usr/local/notesdata/log.nsf 05/09/2002 8:39:09 PM *************************************** * Lotus Domino Server Setup * * To setup this server, please connect* * your web browser to port 8081 * * Example: http://example.com:8081 * *************************************** 05/09/2002 8:39:09 AM JVM: Java Virtual Machine initialized. 05/09/2002 8:39:10 AM HTTP Web Server started
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://example.com:8081
To perform setup from the Linux machine, enter:
http://localhost:8081
or
http://linux:8081
for SuSE 7.3 Professional.
where example.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. Follow the instructions on these screens and
click the button on the final screen to complete the initial
configuration. Online help is available on each of these screens.
The HTTP Setup program will have created SERVER.ID
and
CERT.ID
files in
/usr/local/notesdata
. The USER.ID
file is attached to a person document in NAMES.NSF
.
Before starting your Domino server, make sure no other Web server is running because it will block the Domino HTTP task from operating correctly, and you will be unable to use a Web browser to administer your server after the initial setup.
Log on to Linux as the user you established earlier (notes
in
the example).
From the /usr/local/notesdata
directory
(/local/notesdata
for SuSE), enter:
bash# /opt/lotus/bin/server
The server starts and the usual server console messages appear.
Before you can perform any more administration on your Domino for Linux server, you will need to extract the administrator ID file and move it to the machine you plan to use for administration.
After the HTTP Web Server task has started, switch to your administration machine and use a Web browser to connect to your new server:
http://example.com
where example.com
is either the IP address or DNS name of your
Linux server. The default Lotus Domino navigator screen displays.
Now open the address book by entering:
http://example.com/names.nsf
Click to the People view and open the Person document for the
administrator you created earlier and download the USER.ID
file to your
administration machine. If you are using a Netscape browser, you may have
to rename the id file to USER.ID
.
