Problems with SAP Installation on Linux

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am trying to install SAP on a linux box which is running Suse Linux enterprise edition 10,

i have copied the disks to the server and i have checked all the settings that need to be in place.

the problem is i can't start the installation from the desktop and at command line if i specify ./sapinst in the master dvd.

it fails to startup. How can i perform the installation?

Would it be better to use eXcursion server or Reflection X to perform the installation?

Hi Trevor,

Make sure that your DISPLAY environment variable is set according to the installationn guide.

Bourne shell (sh)

DISPLAY=<host_name>:0.0 export DISPLAY

C shell (csh)

setenv DISPLAY <host_name>:0.0

Korn shell (ksh)

export DISPLAY=<host_name>:0.0

where <host_name> is the host on which you want to display the sapinst gui.

Regards

Ashok

Also, In order to test the X windows, launch some application at the unix level. Say.. clock. Make sure j2ee is installed with correct version.

Thanks!

Have you maintained Java environment variable?
