Error checking database <weird chars> File does not exist

After a server crash, I get a weird problem concerning database fixup. The console constantly throws a block of errors "Error checking database File does not exist" I did not find any databases with these names.

Here is an image as I am notz allowed to directly include pics: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CA87BQfUcAA21Cq.png:large

  1. Where does domino know which databases to fixup?
  2. How may I get rid of these errors?

Any idea appreciated.

Solution

  • Apparently I found a clue, myself:

    http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1LO78425

    So, my next steps were fixup -j & compact on command line level without the server being up. Also, I deleted the dbdirman.nsf as suggested by Torsten.

    I stumbled over a corrrupt database which caused a crash of the fixup. After moving the DB and recreating it from backup, the server could be started without an issue.

    For now, the problem seems to be solved.
