Diagnosis:
HCL support found that notes.ini contains the following two lines:
. . .
CREATE_NIFNSF_DATABASES=1
NIFNSFENABLE=1
NIFBASEPATH=/local/nif
FTBASEPATH=/local/ft
. . .
Solution:
The Domino server with this issue was a new Domino 14 "first server" installation.
As part of our prerequisites for running the install, we create the /local/notesdata folder, but we did not create the other two folders.
Therefore, we have updated our documentation to include the other two folders:
$ sudo mkdir /local/ft
$ sudo mkdir /local/nif
$ sudo chown notes:notes /local/ft
$ sudo chown notes:notes /local/nif
$ sudo find /local/notesdata/ft -type d -exec chmod 770 {} +
$ sudo find /local/notesdata/nif -type d -exec chmod 770 {} +
After the creation of the folders, we returned to the admin client, and issued:
> load updall
< indexing completed successfully>
Warning:
MS Windows has an gotcha, as well, as Domino 14 installs, not with the SYSTEM account, but a non-administrative user set-up in the Domino R14.
When the MS Windows version HCL Domino 14 is installed, the default account to use is: NT Authority\LocalService.
If keeping the default, confirm the local account still exists (not been removed) and not disabled. Ensure that when upgrading the user selected, LocalService, or whichever has rights to the program folder, the data folder, any NIF indexing/FT (full-text) indexing directories, and Transaction Logging directories have the user account with List, Read, Write, Modify, and Delete.
For more information, see the HCL Domino 14.0 document page: Enable Running Domino as a Non-Admin User.
