Solved! Apache and Domino running together
Sat, Nov 12th 2011 3:42p Mika Heinonen We can use Apache as frontend http server running on port 80, and Domino on port 81, so that users can access both Apache and Domino pages via port 80 only.
This is done via the Apache Rewrite Engine, but until now it caused one nasty problem: When doing a submit on a Domino page, then Domino would add the port 81 to the URL, and the user could not access that page, if only port 80 was opened to the internet.
I found a solution how to overcome this Domino's problem, by adding Apache Reverse Pro [read] Keywords: domino

Mon, Jul 11th 2011 5:06p Mika Heinonen It just came like a lightning from the clear sky, and illuminated us all.
I can't remember to have ever seen such a great success in concept, it's so unbelievably thought troughout.
All the details you experience, all the things which just work like they should have always worked in other systems. [read] Keywords: google

A new Domino based forum template
Sat, Jul 9th 2011 6:06p Mika Heinonen I have developed my own forum software for Domino for some time, because I was always shocked with the basic lacks of functionality of conventional forum softwares like phpBB, vnboards, Invision Power Boards, SMF, etc.... For them it seems normal that all messages are lost when the forum software is updated, and they just eat it. They also take happily backups every day, but most of the backups fail because of some misconfigured ftp accounts.
For someone who has worked with Domino that is absolu [read] Keywords: domino

IBM Lotus Notes/Domino is dead, long live IBM Notes/Domino!
Sun, Jul 3rd 2011 7:25a Mika Heinonen Just fresh out from the press: IBM will drop the Lotus part from the name, because it misleads many people who remember Lotus 1-2-3 and Lotus Smartsuite, and yes even Lotus Notes which is often thought as ancient and dead.
This is very cool, because it removes the long name nonsense and makes it clear that it's a real IBM product, and everyone knows that IBM is the leader in computer technology, mostly on the hardware side, but since the aquisition of Lotus also on the software side, and of cou [read] Keywords: domino

My First XPage
Mon, Feb 14th 2011 6:23a Mika Heinonen Today I tried to make a simple web page using Domino Designer 8.5.2 XPage design element. Getting to know how it works is pretty easy, and I didn't need to read any documentation. I found some good and bad sides about XPages:
The Good
The Bad
1) The design element toolbar is nice, and you can drag and drop any design element to your XPage
2) You can easily connect fields from Notes Views and Notes Forms with visual design elements.
3) A RichText type field activates CKEditor automatically, and [read] Keywords: domino

Why LAMP is better than Domino
Sat, Feb 12th 2011 9:22a Mika Heinonen Since the end of life of Notes/Domino 7 is coming in 2011-04-11, it's a good opportunity to review the benefits of the two best Web Database platforms:
LAMP (=Linux Apache MySQL PHP) and Domino.
1) LAMP database design can be edited with any text editor remotely, even with vi via secure shell (SSH). Domino Designer 7 and Notes 7 work fine, but not Domino Designer 8.5 or Notes 8. Domino Designer 8.5 is written in Java and is thus ridiculously bloated, slow, buggy and exposes lots of security hol [read] Keywords: agent
