Installing Domino 9 on Linux


Beware of old versions of Linux (such as CentOS 5.4). It won't work! You need a glibc of version 2.7 or greater. Check it before installing with

ldd --version

Ubuntu Server is still not supported but works well. Minimum release is 10.04 LTS. This server runs with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, too Winken

Please do a complete uninstall before you install the new release!

Uninstall Domino as root user with the following commands:

cd /local/notesdata

/opt/ibm/lotus/notes/latest/linux/_uninst2/uninstaller.bin -console

You may have to replace the term "lotus" with "domino" in that command line of you run Domino 9.x or newer.

If you had to backup and restore your /local/notesdata then you must do this as root user:

chown root:root /local/notesdata -R

First check if your new server will start up by logging in as user "notes" and type the following commands:

cd /local/notesdata

/opt/ibm/domino/bin/server

Do this to see the console instead of starting the server with a start script when you start it the first time.

I experienced that Google Chrome is not supported well with this release. Maybe it's Chrome that sucks here...

What installation package are you using? I've looked high and low through IBM Passport Advantage and can't find the installation file.
