Domino 8 on RHEL 5.2

Running the Domino server installer on Red Hat platforms.
To successfully install a Domino 8 server using graphical mode on supported Red Hat platforms, I performed the following steps: (Note these steps were performed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 x86_64)

1. Install the seamonkey fedora rpm from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/1.1.11/contrib/FC_RPMS/seamonkey-1.1.11-1.i386.rpm

or simply download the source rpm from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/1.1.11/contrib/FC_RPMS/source/seamonkey-1.1.11-1.src.rpm and build it yourself

2. Install the following dependency packages.

#yum install libXp libXmu

3. After the initial install run the following as root

#/usr/bin/xhost local:notes

#su notes
#cd /local/notesdata < – if this is the data path you selected during installation

#/opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server

to complete the install.

I had a couple of issues setting up the Domino 8 server on Linux.

– when installing the server, do not select to create the symbolic link – softlink if you are installing into the default locations.

- I also had the usual problem where x-windows could not display the setup program. The error was

“Please edit your shell’s DISPLAY environment variable to
reflect an unlocked terminal that you would like to launch
the Domino Setup Program”
The fix was to su to root and run the command /usr/X11R6/bin/xhost this sets security to let the machine export the display on it’s own screen
then as the “notes” user run…
DISPLAY=:0.0
export DISPLAY

Once this is done cd to the /local/notesdata directory and run /opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server to start the setup program.

PDE5 inhibitors are a good choice for men at any age who are in good health and who do not have conditions that preclude taking them.

However, PDE5 inhibitors are not suitable for everyone. Men who take nitrate drugs for angina, or certain types of alpha-blockers for high blood pressure and benign prostatic hyperplasia, should not take PDE5 inhibitors. The PDE5 inhibitors are less effective in men with diabetes and in men who have been treated for prostate cancer.

Men with the following conditions should not take PDE5 inhibitors without the recommendation of their doctors and even then should use them with caution.
