IBM Domino 9 FP4 error in Ubuntu 15.10

Hello, my name is Gabriel Oberreuter, I am from Chile, and this is the first time at this forum ;)

My configuration is as follows:

IBM Domino 9.0.1 32-bit with Fix Pack 3 installed on Ubuntu Server 15.10 64-bit.

I followed these steps for the installation:

  1. Install a fresh copy of Ubuntu Server 15.10 64-bit, with ssh server option only.
  2. Upgraded the system with the latest packages (sudo apt-get update and upgrade).
  3. Installed some packages "required by IBM Domino" that I found on some forum:
    1. sudo apt-get install libstdc++5:i386 libxmu6:i386 libxtst6:i386
  4. Installed IBM Domino as root user.
  5. Executed the server with -listen parameter, and configure it from a Windows machine using Remote Server Setup
  6. Installed Fix Pack 3
  7. Registered domino as a service using a script
  8. Setup some additional tunning on Domino and on Ubuntu so everything works better (like modifying /etc/security/limits.conf)

Everything is working fine, I got almost everything I wanted working (ssl certificate, CA process setup, and lots of other stuff).

The problem occurs when I install the Fix Pack 4 (FP4):

  • The installation goes fine, with no errors
  • The server can start no problem
  • The server crashes when I access the server via Web, using iNotes, to access my email account

The server shut itself down and a log file is generated.

I had to uninstall the FP4 and now is working again.

  • Does anybody knows what can be happening? Without FP3 the server also works fine, so with no FP it works, with FP3 it works, but with FP4 it crashes.
  • Are the packages libstdc++5:i386 libxmu6:i386 libxtst6:i386 sufficient, or I am missing something? Where can I find the official required linux libraries to run Domino?

I can provide the generated error log, if anybody ask for it, because I will have to reinstall the FP4 and save it. (I have always gotten the error when installing the FP4, and it also occured on Ubuntu 15.04)

Thanks

IBM Domino 9 FP4 error in Ubuntu 15.10

Hi Nico,

I know that Domino is not supported in Ubuntu, I just wanted to try how well it worked, and for now it has been OK, only this strange crash is bothering me. I assume all responsibilities for testing on an unsupported platform!

Anyway, I downloaded the FP4 after July 14th, date when the FP4 was corrected for the bug you are informing, so I think it is not related to this "SECFreeSSOInternetSitesConfig" error.

I will try downloading it again (just in case), and test installing the FP4 and the IF3 too, I will report later.

Thanks!

IBM Domino 9 FP4 error in Ubuntu 15.10

I have done more testing, and this is what I have found:

Downloaded again FP4 so the pack doesn't contain the SECFreeSSOInternetSitesConfig bug.

  • FP3 works well
  • FP3 with IF3 works well
  • FP4 gives me the error when accesing my email db via Web/iNotes. I can access via web webadmin.nsf, no problem as when entering my db
  • FP4 with IF3 gives me the error when accesing my email db via Web/iNotes. I can access via web webadmin.nsf, no problem as when entering my db

So, it seems that FP4 doesn't like Ubuntu at all, at least this version and with the libraries I installed...

I also tried to install additional libraries, with the same results:

  • sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 libstdc++5:i386 libstdc++6 libstdc++6:i386 libxtst6 libxtst6:i386 libxmu6 libxmu6:i386

Does anyone else tried Domino on Ubuntu, and got this error while installing FP4? Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

Possible file permission issue...

Thank you Scott,

Exactly what I needed, the problem is now solved!
