guiengine: no GUI connected; waiting for a connection on host localhost

[Former Member]

Hi

Im am trying to load SAP ECC 5.0 on linux Ferdora trying to run ./sapinst and get the following

"guiengine: no GUI connected; waiting for a connection on host localhost, port 21212 to continue with the installation"

I am waiting for the GUI to pop up to continue with the installation.

My PC is a standalone, an I gave it a static IP Address.

My environment variables are set correctly for JAVA

How do I get the installation to continue.

i agree with Markus Döhr,

you have to set DISPLAY on both side

server: bash[code]$ export DISPLAY=your_ipaddress:0.0[/code]

client: bash $ xhost +server_ipaddress[/code]

I would like to install SAP directly from linux PC. Im not remote admin to the Linux PC. This should work?

Yes - you need to logon as "root" (don´t logon as another user and su to root).

I tried the command

server: bash

$ export DISPLAY=your_ipaddress:0.0

It didnt work. I also tested the xclock and that works fine.

What else can I do or check

If xlock runs....may the port is busy

netstat -an | grep LISTEN

if you see the port (with the sapinst off), try to change the default port.

You need to make sure, the DISPLAY is set correctly.

What do you get when you enter

echo $DISPLAY
