Notes Error The Id File Is Write Protected
exiting: The ID file is write protected; iseries Technote (troubleshooting) Problem When starting a Lotus Domino server for i5/OS, you see the Copyright information on the console and then immediately receive the following error: "Server exiting: The ID file is write protected" Cause This error occurs when the server cannot write to its ID file. For example, in one particular case, the file permissions were changed. Resolving the problem To correct the problem, make sure that the permissions for *PUBLIC and QNOTES are set for *RW. To check or change the permissions, use these steps: 1. Issue WRKDOMSVR to display the list of Domino servers on the machine. 2. Place a "12" next to the desired server name, for Work with Object Links. 3. Issue a Shift (F5) and enter the server.id 4. Place a "9" next to the file server.id, for Work with Authority. 5. You can view and change the Authority from this screen.
