Problem with starting the SAP Gui

Former Member

Hi Experts,

I am trying to install SAP IDES on Linux Machine. But the SAP Installation gui is not running.

Linux version is RHEL 6

Java version is 1.7.0_76

vi ~/.bash_profile is

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_76

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_76/bin

I can ping the sever itself by hostname. I can run xclock.

If I click on sapinst file(from the installation master folder) nothing is coming and if I run command ./sapinst from the directory it is showing below message guiengine: no GUI connected; waiting for a connection on host idessrv, port 21200 to continue with the installation

Though I am running it into the server machine. Please help to resolve it.

Thanks

Asad

Hi,

From which OS user you're executing the sapinst process.Please confirm.

If possible please comment below in hosts file & addition to it kindly check no firewall as well SELINUX

should be in disabled mode.

::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

Hope this will help you.

Hi ,

Could you share host file entries,if possible try to maintain host file as like below

127.0.0.1  localhost.localdomain localhost

<IP of server>   <Host name>

Save the entries & retry the process .

Asuduzzaman,

Hi Sagy,

I have tried with this way but no result. I restarted the server and putted command netstat -tulnap

And there is no process running with port 21200 but after double click on sapinst icon I ran command netstat -tulnap it is showing below:

tcp     0 0 0.0.0.0:21200     0.0.0.0:*     LISTEN     2654/sapinstexe

But the sapinstaller screen not appearing.

Thanks

Asad
