The following list provides you with some info on problems that can occur when trying to install Lotus Notes on a RedHat 7.1 box.
People often mail me about issues on RedHat 8.0 or RedHat 9, so far we have not been able to get Notes working on those version, ( we didn't try that much yet either ;)) , we have most version up and running on RedHat 7.3 however.
During the installation you get the following error.
An unexpected error occured during post-install processing:
Died at (eval 34) line 2.
...propagated at (eval 33) line 231.
/home/notes/linux/tools/lib/NIC.pm line 727
The installation failed for the local host.
Notes Installation does NOT like symlinks.. so if you wanted so keep the default settings however you did not enough diskspace and created symlinks for the /opt/notes and /local/notesdata this is what happens.
Try running the install with other directories again and you won`t have the same problem.
I get the following error when starting
[notes@dhcp97 notesdata]$ /opt/lotus/bin/http httpsetup /opt/lotus/notes/latest/linux/http: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory
you have a wrong verscion of libstdc check in your /usr/lib if you have a file with a different version number, e.g.
ln -s libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
I get the following error when starting
[notes@dhcp97 notesdata]$ /opt/lotus/bin/http httpsetup 10/18/2001 11:58:12 AM Created new log file as /usr/local/notesdata/log.nsf 10/18/2001 11:58:12 AM ***************************************** * Lotus Domino Server Setup * * To setup this server, please connect * * your web browser to port 8081 * * Example: http://this.server.com:8081 * ***************************************** libjitc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (libjitc.so)
This means that notes does not find its Java Libraries. Either they are not installed or you have to include them in your /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig afterwards.
When starting http httpsetup it stops just after
[notes@dhcp97 notesdata]$ /opt/lotus/bin/http httpsetup 10/18/2001 01:43:53 PM ***************************************** * Lotus Domino Server Setup * * To setup this server, please connect * * your web browser to port 8081 * * Example: http://this.server.com:8081 * *****************************************This is again a Java library problem You can verify this by running strace -p $pidofnotes you should normally then get a list of
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) --- --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) --- --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) --- --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) --- --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) --- --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) --- --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---This has everything to do with your JDK. Let`s tackle this problem step by step. remove the file libjava.so in /opt/lotus/notes/latest/linux now try starting the httpsetup again you should see a listing like this
[notes@dhcp97 notesdata]$ /opt/lotus/bin/http httpsetup 10/18/2001 01:43:53 PM ***************************************** * Lotus Domino Server Setup * * To setup this server, please connect * * your web browser to port 8081 * * Example: http://this.server.com:8081 * ***************************************** 10/18/2001 01:43:53 PM JVM: The JVM runtime library could not be found. 10/18/2001 01:43:53 PM JVM: Java Virtual Machine failed to start 10/18/2001 01:43:53 PM HTTP server error, could not load the Java VM 10/18/2001 01:43:53 PM HTTP Web Server started
As you can see this works but you don`t have a JVM available.
Recently I have discovered that with the java versions that are currently included with Notes there are less problems.
[root@linnotes linux]# more /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla) [root@linnotes linux]# ./java -version java.bin version "1.1.8" [root@linnotes linux]# pwd /opt/lotus/notes/50100/linux
No problem there .. but we use the java version included with Notes .
You get Error : Lotus Notes: error 0x102 this basically is a permission problem, make sure you run chown -R notes.notes /opt/lotus , this should normally solve the problem.
When trying to install Domino on RH9 , we encountered frequrens segmentation faults.
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
Solves these segfaults
