Installation error Nw2004s

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

i am installing the Nw2004 version in Linux and got an error saying

"This computer's host name is 'hostname.dev.com' but a reverse lookup returned 'hostname'. This will lead to problems later on when starting the Web Application Server. You can correct this problem by inserting a line: '10.0.0.1 hostname.dev.com' into the host file '/etc/hosts'. Do this now so that you can continue the installation."

and this is my hosts file i dont have DNS configred or installed in system.

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

10.0.0.1 hostname.dev.com hostname

I think i am doing correct please suggest me i am doing any thing wrong?

Regards,

surya.

As long as the command 'hostname' returns only the host name and not the Fully Qualified Domain Name then you are doing correct. Your host file looks fine. If you have access to SAP notes then read Note 171356 - SAP software on Linux: Essential information.

hello there .. i think you should also include the aliases. ie for eg...

192.168.0.1 ABC.abc.com ABC

where ABC is the hostname and abc.com is the domain name. the second ABC is the alias

check using these commands

1-hostname

2-hostname -f

3-hostname -d

4-hostname -s

thank you

Hi Surya

Is your host name and ip address are static or using DHCP?

If you are using dhcp SAP installation will not support dynamic IP address ...

Change it to static ip..

Hi Surya,

Make Entry in hosts file as

10.0.0.1 hostname.dev.com

This is correct enry.

Thanks,
