Hi,

        While installing one of the R/3 system in linux and maxdb DB .

Please help on this.

Like everyone mentioned, you need to find out what process is running on this Port and kill if not needed or use another SID

Here is a bunch of Linux commands that will come in handy.

Is the instance number 77 used by any other instance on the same host?

If yes , use another instance number .

If no , Please change the following in  /etc/services .

# vi /etc/services

search for 3677.

Comment out the line putting a # sign in the start of the line.

Save .

Then retry sapinst.

also you could get the port details being used using:

cat /etc/services | grep portnumber

also you could get the details of which applications are using that port by using lsof (downloadable utility for *nix)

Hi,

It says that your port is used by some other application in your system. Check whether any other applications using the same and if need to kill, kill the same and continue the installation.
