Admin Notes: Unable to read httpd.cnf

I recently installed a new Domino server. Not an upgrade, but a scratch install. As expected, everything went smoothly.

Until I started up the server.

Once I started the server, I noticed the following message:

HTTP Server: Using Web Configuration View
HTTP Server: Unable to read httpd.cnf
HTTP Server: Shutdown

I hit the web and came up with this IBM technote, "Httpd.cnf deleted during Domino server upgrade.".

But I didn't do an upgrade. It was a fresh install of Domino 8.5.1, but low and behold, that was the issue. I didn't install "Web Services Data Files" originally, but did in fact need them. I went back, re-ran the installed and selected it.

The HTTP server now starts.

Another lesson learned.

Fun Little Earthquake

It's 1:45pm EST in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. We just had an earthquake. Not strong enough to damage anything, but enough that I watched people run out of buildings. What a fun Wednesday.

Error 217 - Error creating product object on Domino 64 bit

I'd like to share something with you. An error that you'll get if you are trying to use ODBC with Domino 8.5.1 64bit. It starts out with an agent error of Error 217. The text of the error is "Error creating product object" You can read about it here on the Notes/Domino forum . You can find the solution here as well . I guess I'm now waiting for Domino 8.5.2 for a solution for this. It would have been nice to have had this in the release notes. It would have help me greatly.

Lotus Trading Cards

I was painting the house last night, and my mind got to wandering... Bruce Elgort mentioned on Twitter last night that he was thinking of a VC fund for Lotus projects. So my mind wandered about that, and turned to how we present ourselves. I got to thinking that business cards are so ... old school. I think we need Trading Cards. So, here are the first few I've come up with.
