Netweaver Java 7.4 installation error

Former Member

Hi Gurus,

we are trying to install netwaeaver java 7.4 on Oracle and Linux.

the installer is trying to create user "sapadm" under /home instead of under /users.

according to our O/S admin we are not permitted to create files /directories under /home. Because it is an automount directory.

due to inadequate permission the installer is terminating at this phase with the error mentioned in the attached screenshot.

I have checked the environment variable settings for both root and <SID>adm.it looks ok.

could you please suggest what needs to be done in this case.
.

Regards, Priya

Hello Priya,

Check the permission of your /home directory:

ls -ld /home

Owner and group should be root:root . And 755 rights is best practice for /home directory.

You can give related permissions with that command:

chmod 755 /home

chown root:root /home

Then try running installation again.

Best regards,

Serhat

Hi,

Hope your issue has already been resolved.

Anyways issue is completely related with OS permissions here,you could check with OS team at your end to provide required permissions to create sapadm as already suggested above.

Hi Priya ,

Request  your OS admins to create the sapadm user in advance  with what ever  home directory they prefer .

After the user is created re-run the installation

Thanks ,
