sapinst login timeout during installation of NetWeaver 2004s

[Former Member]

Hello,

I want to install a new NetWeaver 2004s system using sapinst.

The Gui starts but after some seconds the connection breaks with the following error.

Starting GuiServer using:

/opt/IBMJava2-amd64-142/bin/java -cp /usr/sap/put/Install_/sapinst_exe.1789.1199282891/JAR/instgui.jar:/usr/sap/put/Install/sapinst_exe.1789.1199282891/JAR/inqmyxml.jar -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/urandom SDTServer config=jar:sdtserver.xml guiport=21212 sapinsthost=localhost sapinstport=21200 guistart=true

load resource pool /usr/sap/stage/PORTAL/BS_2005_SR2_SAP_Installation_Master/IM_LINUX_X86_64/resourcepool.xml

guiengine: no GUI connected; waiting for a connection on host , port 21200 to continue with the installation

guiengine: login in process.

..............................

guiengine: login timeout; the client was unable to establish a valid connection

I used an other port but I got the same error. The only thing which helps is a reboot of the server.

The operating system is LINUX.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

I am new to SAP NW. I tried installing thru sapint.exe. I too get the login error. I didnt setup any login.Will it take my Windows ID?

Can you please share how did you fix this. !

I did all these things and as I told you before after the reboot of the server it works fine.

And my colleagues who are installing additional systems on that server have the same problem. It works after rebooting the server.

I use Reflection. I never had problems, this is the first time.

Ok.... let's go back to basics..

What version of JDK you have installed?; have you setup the JAVA_HOME environment properly?

Hello,

I'm quite sure that this is not a problem of the DISPLAY or the X server because after the reboot of the server it works fine. And if it is a problem of the DISPLAY or the X server the gui won't start. But the gui starts and aborts after some seconds.

The Gui starts and it's possible to navigate and then the connection to the gui breaks.

Thank you.

Hello,

I did set the DISPLAY variable. The Gui starts but it aborts after some seconds.

Thank you.

Hi Ines,

It sounds like a problem to establish connection with the X server, are you sure the Xserver is running? You can try closing and restarting the Xserver before executing the command again.

Hi Ines,

I think you're missing the DISPLAY environment variable.

set DISPLAY <IP_of_your_pc>:0.0

make sure your Xserver is up and running.

That should solve your problem
