With the Domino server running on Windows 2008 R2 or above, and when you launch the Domino Console i.e. the Java Controller for Domino, it gives the below error message:

Either the Server Controller is not running on the host Server/Name or is not listening on port 2050

Resolving this issue

There are multiple methods to resolving this issue:

• Add the entry for the IP address which is mapped to server name in the local host file (e.g 10.10.10.5 Server/Name).

• Enable the below notes.ini parameter in the Domino server's notes.ini.

ServerController=1
TCPIP_ControllerTcpIpAddress=<ip address>:2050

Where: <ip address> is the IP address of the Domino server.

• With the above settings done, restart the Operating System (OS).
