A quick and easy guide to installing Domino on Linux (continued)
The ":8081" syntax is a special case that allows you to set up the server over the Web by running the http task in this special "standalone" mode. Once the server is set up the http task is just loaded like any other task (usually automatically) and takes no parameters.
The Apache Web server is the default in Linux as IIS is on NT. You can choose to disable Apache (as I suggest in a previous section) or move the port number Domino uses to something else, say :8080, using the Administrator. In fact the latter is often the preferred mode, as many people looking at Domino want to take advantage of the good things in Apache and forwarding appropriate .NSF requests to Domino (in the same way that people use the IIS/Domino combination in Windows).
Now you can switch to this ID and use your Client and Administrator as normal from your PC.
Congratulations, you're done!
Conclusion
I hope this has given you the confidence to try out Domino on Linux. Although it's complicated by the Windows standard, the reliability is very high and the cost negligible. Linux is set to grow as a server choice that can only be good for the Domino market. All in all, it's a platform worth getting to know.
