installation help on SUSE Enterprise 10

I want installation procedure and screen shots to install NW 2004s on SUSE Enterprise LINUX 10

Full ack!

A lof of people demand that here - and I really wonder why they don´t try to start with the usual installation guides, they are VERY detailed and in fact step-by-step, one just need to read them.

Installing a SAP system of whatever kind is not as installing Microsoft Office

Ya i saw te document but even getting errors like X11 and other is i found only "startInstGui.sh" but in the installation document i found sapinst.

Which is the correct one to use i didnt find any extension for this sapinst so how can i use as ./startinstgui.sh

[markus_doehr2 · Accepted solution]

simply answer: don´t use it

start "sapinst" from the installation CD/DVD. The GUI will be started automatically. you only need startgui.sh if you want to use the gui remotely.

Again, the answer is simple:

sapinst

For the remaining information, refer to the installation guides. You'll find them <a href="http://service.sap.com/instguides">in the SAP Service Marketplace</a>.

Hi,

I entered in SH i mean in Bash shell only..getting same error i also tried in csh etc

[markus_doehr2 · Accepted solution]

Ok - again.

you have your shell open, it looks like this

[root@hostname]#

there you enter

file sapinst

(just as I have it written there) so that it looks like

[root@hostname]# file sapinst

now press enter and post the result of that here.

I got this error

for

hostname# file sapinst

sapinst: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, not stripped

[markus_doehr2 · Accepted solution]

Ok - you are using a 64bit installer.

Is you system a 64bit Linux?

Check with "uname -a"

if x86_64 is not listed anywhere in the line, you have a 32bit system and you can't install with this CD set.

ok thank you very much got it i am using the wrong CD.

you will have a hard time finding that. and even if you find it, it won't work 100% becasue you system will never be 100% identical to another.

if you really want to learn, you must do it the hard way, you read the installation guide and all associated notes. it will take you time of course.
