issue resolved... hostname entry FQDN was incorrect in /etc/hosts file.

Hi Karthik,

Please ensure the following,

1) before invoking sapinst check if ./xclock is working

2) check if the version of your java is compatible, can you provide us the output of

java -version

Try with DISPLAY=172.31.4.94:0.0 instead of :1.0 and as recommended by ashish try to bring the xclock before you start the sapinst.

Hi karthik,

Please set JAVA_HOME to /usr/jdk/instances/jdk.1.5.0 instead of /usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/bin

and then restart SAPINST.

Secondly are you sure JAVA 1.5 is gonna work.

Regards.

If you have set the DISPLAY and xclock works fine , then an alternate way to start the SAPINST is as follows:

./sapinst SAPINST_DIALOG_PORT=50777 GUISERVER_DIALOG_PORT=60777

The ports above can be different depending on which are free.

Also ensure no other sapinst process is running on the host with the same port numbers.

Check you DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly. Try to start xclock

please consider using parameter SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME with SAPINST. and also check if any other SAPINST process is running on this server already.

you may also check if ports are blocked..You can run 'netstat -a -n' to get a current list.

Hi,

I have done all these but still getting the same error.

Regards

[ashish_vikas]

please verify this :

JAVA_HOME=/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/bin

SAPINST_JRE_HOME=/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/jre/bin

Which JAVA you are using.. and is jdk1.5 supported ?? I think you should work with jdk 1.4 instead. If you have both Java installed, use 1.4 in env variable.

Regards

Ashish
