In the end, I went with: -
- Install Lotus Domino 8.0.1
- Start the server to perform the initial configuration, allocate an administrative user ( domadmin ), load the HTTP task etc.
- Stop the server
- Install Lotus Quickr Services for Lotus Domino 8.1 ( I opted to use the same user ID - domadmin - and password for the Quickr installation, even though my first act would be to configure it to use Domino Directory )
- Start the server
- Open a browser to the default Quickr home page: -
http://hostname.domain.com/LotusQuickr/lotusquickr/main.nsf - Log in using the domadmin user ID and password
- Configure Quickr to use Domino Directory
- Log out
- Stop the server
- Copy 8.1-Quickr-Domino-HF19-ENGLISH.jar to C:\Lotus\Domino\jvm\lib\ext
- Add C:\Lotus\Domino to the Windows system path
- Execute the JAR file and point it at the notes.ini file in C:\Lotus\Domino
- Once installed, start the server
- Unlock and upgrade the Quickr databases: -
load qptool unlock –a
load qptool upgrade -f –server
load qptool upgrade -f –a - Job done
as well as in the page source: -
It's great to see other people's upgrade scripts like this. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI noticed you used an admin account from the Domino directory for the Quickr administrater. If you read Rob Novak's post here http://www.lotusrockstar.com/blog/robblog.nsf/d6plinks/RNOK-7J58J4
...you will see that #10 recommends that you NOT used an admin account from the directory.
FWIW
Hi Chris, thanks for your input - you're quite right; I would be following Rob's advice if this wasn't purely a desvelopment/test environment. Thanks for the feedback; much appreciated, regards, Dave
ReplyDeleteIt seems like all fixes to Quickr 8.1 currently are available for English only. I was trying to apply HF19 to my German installation, it worked fine until I found out that all templates were english after install... Does anyone know if there is a solution?
