If you plan to install Domino V11 on CentOS 8.1 you have to do some steps before because there are some requirements:
Install CentOS 8.1.x ( without any graphical interface – you won´t need it )
- Install perl
- To run the Domino console installation you need perl to run it
- yum install perl
- I don´t exactly know if the libXp library is also needed ( it was in the last releases ) but I installed it
- yum install libXp
Afterwards I created the default user und group for the Domino Server:
- sudo groupadd notes
- sudo adduser notes
- To add the user “notes” to the group
- sudo usermod -g notes notes
- To add the user “notes” to the group
- Set up the notes user to use DOMINO_LINUX_SET_PARMS:
- # vi /home/notes/.bashrc
- Add to the end of the file: export DOMINO_LINUX_SET_PARMS=1
- Update the Security/Limits File:
- Edit /etc/security/limits.conf using root and add or modify the lines:
- notes soft nofile 65535
- notes hard nofile 65535
- (Use 65535 for 64 bit Linux for both soft and hard limits, per HCL 2019/12.
- Edit /etc/security/limits.conf using root and add or modify the lines:
- Update SELINUX:
- $ vi /etc/selinux/config
Change to SELINUX=disabled and save.
- $ vi /etc/selinux/config
Then you have to check if the firewall is active – you can do this with the following command:
- firewall-cmd –state
- If it´s running you can stop and disable it with
- systemctl firewalld stop
- systemctl disable firewalld
- or you have to add the rules for running your Domino V11 server for the required ports
- 1352
- 80/443
- 25
- 389
- …
Afterwards you just have to install your Domino V11 server, implement the perfect start/stop scripts of Daniel Nashed ( which are extremely well documentated ), configure your Domino server and run a great collaboration tool !!
