Problem now understood

Thanks for sharing.

I have finally identified what the problem was. I'm split between slapping myself round the head and unamused at the lack of diagnostics data and the "helpful" way that the Java Console engine blows the server away on startup.

I found I had not put back One configuration value. The Server Console IP address.

The configuration of the servers (yes I know I should have looked), is different to what I was led to expect. There are two network adapters and the Second adapter is Natted to the IP address given to me for the server.

As such I, slap, entered the given NAT address in the Server Console field of the Domino Directory server document.

Bang, one server on it's back and unrecoverable with no diagnostic information.

To resolve the issue I have had to put the TCPIP_ControllerTcpIpAddress entry into the notes.ini (just to be sure), as well as entering the "Correct" address into the Domino Directory server document Server Controller field.

I have also had to use the TCPIP_TCPIPADDRESS entry to force the Notes Port. Because the nice guys who natted my IP address used the Secondary Port and the Domino server binds to the Primary IP port by default.

Hence my initial problems with an invisible server controller.

This is consistent on D8.5.0 and D8.5.1, I have had the same problem on both.

Personally I'd like the Server Controller code to be just a little friendlier and get some diagnostics out of the server instead of just becoming a dead body with no apparent cause.

But at least I have answered my 3 questions in the original post.
