Re: Problems installing Domino 6.5.5 on Suse OES running on a VMWare GSX Server

G'day Torsten,

I once came across this problem myself however it was not under a VMWar=
e
environment and I made a note of what I did to workaround as follows:

Work around for the following error when setting up Domino on Linux.
Please edit your shell's DISPLAY environment variable to reflect an
unlocked terminal that you would like to launch the Domino Setup Progra=
m
on.
   Login as the Linux Notes user.
   CD to the domino data directory i.e /dominodata/congo
   Start the server from the domino program directory with -listen opti=
on
   i.e /usr/local/lotus/bin/server -listen.
   Start the remote server setup utility on a Windows PC and connect to=
 the
   server via IP that you want to complete the set up on.


My config was 6.5.4 on SLES 9.

Hope this is of some help.

cheers

Jason.

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to install Domino server 6.5.5 on a Suse OES 9 which itself =
was
installed into a VMWare GSX Server.
I can install the Domino files, but when trying to setup the server,
regardless which method I choose (manual, local or remote) I always end=
 up
with the following error message:

Please edit your shell's DISPLAY environment variable to reflect an
unlocked terminal that you would like to launch the Domino Setup Progra=
m
on.

Any ideas what this could be ? I've got 20 Dominos running on SLES 9
installed directly onto the machine and never had a problem. Could it b=
e
that VMWare somehow locks the Terminal ?

MfG
