Step 4: Starting Lotus Domino Server for the first time
Just like on a Windows server, you must perform a setup process the first time that Lotus Domino Server runs on the Linux operating system.
- Type exit to log out as root.
- Log back in as notes.
- Type startx to start the X Window System and the GNOME desktop.
- Open a GNOME Terminal session by clicking on the Computer icon in the lower-left and choosing the GNOME terminal.
- Within the terminal session, type cd /local/notesdata, then /opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server.
- Configure the Domino server as you normally would on any operating system.
- When configuration is finished, type exit to leave the terminal session.
- Click on Computer / Logout to leave the GNOME session.
