Sap Router not Starting Giving Error.

[Former Member]

Dear Experts

When I tried to start sap router though the ./saprouter -r the following error message provided.

When I start with the paremeters

./saprouter -r -K "p:CN=example, OU=0000123456, OU=SAProuter, O=SAP, C=DE"

it gives the following error.

Dear All willing to help me.

It got resolved after I start the saprouter with parameters.

./saprouter -r -S 3299 -K "p:CN=XXXXX, OU=0000XXXXX, OU=SAProuter, O=SAP, C=DE" &

Thank you very much.

Hi Priyan:

As Amerjit mentioned from the above error messages that you have shared it appears that there is another saprouter process that is already using this port.

After you started the saprouter -r ,  the error that appeared for the saprouttab does n't necessarily mean that the saprouter did not start.

Can you check the status of your saprouter using command saprouter -l ?

Thanks.

Hi mandeep.

This is the saprouter -l output.

Hi Priyan:

You have mentioned in one of your post that telnet to port 3299 for saprouter host is working so it implies that a service is litening on port 3299.

Can you please share the results of your netstat command?

netstat –an | find "3299"

Thank you.

[Former Member]

Hello Priyan,

Of the different error/warnings that are in the info you have pasted in, the first thing I would look at is to see why port 3299 is in use.

Make sure you don't already have a running saprouter process.

Also, please don't run saprouter as "root". Create a dedicated user with the appropriate permissions for this.

Please check your /etc/services file and also network connections with netstat to see what is currently listening on port 3299.

KR,

Dear Amerjit.

I checked it already. no process running with the port 3299 and no any sap router process is running.

A dedicated user is there to run this, But it also provided the same error in same way. thats y I uses root to start this. and I have given appropriate permission for the root as well.

I telnet to the port 3299 from the sap servers is working fine.But the saprouter service not starting.

Thanks

*  ERROR

service '0.0.0.0:3299' in use

It seems there is some other process on your host, blocking port 3299.

At best this is an unneeded process.

You may get rid of it by killing the process, or simply by rebooting.

At worst this process is needed by some other application. In this case you will have to reconsider your whole configuration.

What else is running on that computer, except for the saprouter?

hope this helps

Dear Josef.

I checked with netstat for 3299 is using. but not listed.

Also checked any saprouter process is running, but not running any saprouter process.

I am running NTP service on same box.

I have attached a status screenshot as well.

Please check.

Hi Priyan,

It's bit strange still port 3299 is in use after following above recommendations especially by @Former Member

please don't run saprouter as "root". Create a dedicated user with the appropriate permissions for this.

Please check your /etc/services file

Addition to above could you please share your host file as i've some doubts related with the last sanp shot which you shared.

If possible try to check or maintain host entries as similar & restart the system once more to test again.

127.0.0.1  localhost.localdomain localhost
<IP of server> <Host Name>
