Ever migrated a website running on a Microsoft Windows Domino environment to a Linux Domino environment.
The first thing you CAN detect, is that developers are sometimes not so strict using the UPPER- and lowercase in their code when defining folders.
On a Microsoft Windows server, it doesn’t matter what you use, the OS translate it for you. But on Linux, the UPPER- and lowercase on folders is very important. Linux is case sensitive. You can create several folders with the same name, but in a different case. The folder “domino” is a different folder compared to “Domino”, where the name is the same, but the casing isn’t.
You can tell development to examine their code and use one syntax for the folders.
OR…… you can use the “Trace & Lowercase Conversion Extension” from Daniel Nashed.
Works perfectly and traces the pain-points in the website code.
Installation on Linux:
- Get the ExtensionFile (libnshextlo.so) from Nashcom
- copy the file to /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/latest/linux or /opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest/linux
- change rigths: chmod 755 /opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest/linux/libnshextlo.so
- alter notes.ini on your Domino server
- extmgr_addins=libnshextlo.so
- nshextloOptions=4
- Restart the Domino server
