Having some issues with your JVM? Unsure as to what you are running for a VM? More than likely it is the MS VM, to be sure you can check here. You should be able to run a Sun VM or MS VM when hitting a 5.0.12 and 6/6.5 Lotus Domino server. For most this might not become an issue for awhile, but those who are running XP, you may be fighting this battle soon enough. Or some of your end users will...

I've started trying to get PHP to work on Lotus Domino. I've been partially successful. I get PHP content but am having trouble getting Lotus Domino to recognize index.php as the start page. So, if you enter the url 'http://www.keithstric.com/php-bin/sysinfo/' it should display the index.php file located in that directory. But Lotus Domino is instead producing a 500 error...

This is no longer needed in R6 thanks to Split(), but if you're stuck in <= R5, it's handy. Probably not good for huge amounts of text, but handy for little bits here and there. Pretty much functions just like javascript String.Split. This is a shorter version of that posted yesterday...

Many times we have agents that run both in the foreground and in the background. For example, if there's an agent that does some weekly processing we may want to run it during the week manually. When we run it in the foreground, we want to include print statements to update on the progress. But those are unnecessary when running in the background. How do we selectively decide when to print progress statements?

Resolving problems sometimes requires you to delete profile documents. For example, a corrupt Calendar Profile document in a mail database can cause a Notes workstation crash when creating a Calendar entry. Such crashes can be avoided only by deleting the Calendar profile and recreating it. If using Notes R4, there is also an additional Delegation Profile document which may need to be deleted as well.
But as profile documents do not appear in views and folders, how can profile documents be deleted?
