guiengine: No GUI server connected; waiting for a connection on host

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I am trying to install SAP ERP 6.0 SR3 on HP-UX Server

JAVA_PATH=/opt/java6/bin

SAPINST_JRE_HOME=/opt/java6/jre

DISPLAY=DEVSRV:0.0

JAVA_HOME=/opt/java6/bin

also check java using "which java" & "java -version" commands its also fine, but when I am entering command "./sapinst" gives following output.

1. ./sapinst

[==============================] \ extracting... done!

Starting GuiServer using:

/opt/java6/jre/bin/java -Xmx256M -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/urandom -cp /tmp/sapinst_exe.5141.13 03125088/JAR/instgui.jar:/tmp/sapinst_exe.5141.1303125088/JAR/inqmyxml.jar SDTServer config=jar:sdt server.xml guiport=21212 sapinsthost=localhost sapinstport=21200 guistart=true

> JAVA_HOME=/opt/java6/bin

This is wrong - JAVA_HOME points to the HOME directory, not to bin:

JAVA_HOME=/opt/java6

PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Java 6 is btw not supported, use a supported Java version as mentioned in the installation guide (1.4.2).

Can you open any other X application? such as 'sam'?

Now I have Installed Java1.4.2.26 & set the paths as follows

JAVA_HOME=/opt/java1.4

PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

it shows Output as

#which java

/opt/java1.4/bin/ java

#java -version

java version "1.4.2.26"

but still I am getting same error.

I am also able to run SAM command.

I see - so as root it's working.

If you now to "su - <sid>adm" the enviornment gets invalidated (no X-cookie, no DISPLAY).

You need to LOGON to CDE with <sid>adm.

Dear expert,

as I do not have any user other than "root" and I am running ./sapinst by "root" only

do I need to create <sid>adm user ?

I am using following Installation Guide.

SAP ERP 6.0 SR3 ABAP

on HP-UX: IBM DB2

for Linux, UNIX, and

Windows

Document version: 1.0 ‒ 03/28/2008

Ok, you're right.

Neverless I'd create an installation directory and not use /tmp as storage (it may get deleted by cron jobs).

mkdir /install
chmod 777 /install
<full-path-to-sapinst>/sapinst

Open a second terminal and check using

top -s 1

whether the process starting the gui is still doing something (just taking longer to start).
