Some of these were in the documentation. Some you discover after your 5 minutes of setup and you've already blown it.
1. As the documentation says, choose the hostname VERY carefully. There is no mechanism to change it afterwards.
(Other than Telnet/SSH session to update the Linux files by hand. Nope. Don't do this, doesn't fix Domino Domain name.)
2. The domain name is JUST the domain name. It needs to be the EXTERNAL Internet domain name (e.g. mindwatering.com). Do NOT include the hostname or you will be hostname.hostname.mindwatering.com.
3. Register new user names as the format you want for e-mail addresses:
jane.doe@mindwatering.com would be registered as jane.doe.
4. Adding the Domino add-on is as simply as following the instructions. (Yes, what a concept.) Simply copy the file to the server (wait 5-15 minutes)'s auto-install folder. Then install it via the Web Config Software update (Status-sub) page. (BTW, the PKG to send up is not a file but a folder of files once it has been extracted from the Lotus Passport site.)
5. Disable the services you don't need if your client has other services (e.g. internal DNS).
6. Now that you have your server set-up, click the button to allocate a backup drive(s).
7. Domino doesn't run on 80. Doing a port forward does seem to work for a "main" site. However, w/o Domino having port 80, multiple different virtual web sites (Internet Site documents) doesn't work in Lotus Foundations.
