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>
