NOTES.INI.

Thanks Again

Bill,

There must be residual data or partial steps that
are causing the Domino logger code to think that
logging is in effect.

My suggestion is to start with a fresh "alternate" server
with clean directories. Follow the steps in the documented
procedure from the beginning. It is difficult to figure
out what is happening from the information provided
without knowing which steps were done at what point.

If you find that you are still having problems,
please call IBM support.

Thanks,

Del
