welcome in there…:) Just another techki site
Domino Server installation on Linux (Centos or Redhat)
I have been struggling a little, on the configuration steps until I figured that these steps could be done remotely from a Windows Machine.
I have been taken Centos 5.7 x64 and Domino 8.5.1 and Windows Machine. (Windows)
An additional machine is needed to install the Lotus Notes Administrator in order to configure and setup the Domino Server remotely and manage it later on.
Let start by installing the Domino server on the Linux machine; Before starting to install you do need to prepare the platform.
- (Linux RHEL only) Disable SELinux on any RedHat operating system:
- Open the /etc/selinux/config file for editing.
- Locate the SELINUX setting.
- Change its value to either disabled or permissive.
- Save and close the file.
- Restart the Linux server.
- Create your Domino Notes group and user.
- groupadd notes
- useradd -G notes notes
Now, you can start the installer running the command:
# ./install Lotus Domino for Unix Install Program ------------------------------------ You have to set environment variable DISPLAY to run in graphic mode Answer Yes to continue in console mode Answer No to exit application. Do you want to continue installation in console mode?[Yes]
Press Enter (Return)

Select Server Setup After the installation completes, for new installation server setup will be launched and for upgrade the server will be restarted automatically.

Select "Remote Server Setup" to launch server setup in listen mode for new server installations. You will then be able to connect to the server with the Remote Server Setup tool.

Here, you need to select the option tow (2) unless you have installed Gnome on your linux, the configuration required to be done from a Windows Machine.
Choose the setup type that best suits your needs. [ ] 1 - Domino Utility Server Installs a Domino server that provides application services only. Note that it does not include support for messaging services. See full licensing text for details. [ ] 2 - Domino Messaging Server Installs a Domino server that provides messaging services.
