SAPInst Error on Linux !

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I am facing the below error when I am trying to Install SM 4.0 on Linux, my environment is

Redhat Linux Enterprise 5.x

Oracle 10g

Error as below:

[root@caarma IM_LINUX_I386]# ./sapinst

[==============================] - extracting... done!

Starting GuiServer using:

/usr/bin/java -cp /tmp/sapinst_exe.6685.1215603054/JAR/instgui.jar:/tmp/sapinst_exe.6685.1215603054/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 /Dumps/51032523/IM_LINUX_I386/resourcepool.xml

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

It is hanging in this point.

I have checked the previous threads about this error and accordingly I have set the DISPLAY to my IP address. But still I am getting the same error.

I have installed J2SDK 1.4.2_14 and also environment variables are also set.

Can someone please suggest me where did I go wrong ?

Please its a urgent issue.

Thanks

Srikar

Ok.

can you start any other X program from the shell? xclock? does it open?

Markus

[Former Member]

Hi Markus,

I tried to open xclock, but I am getting the error as below:

[root@caarma /]# xclock

Error: Can't open display: 172.30.5.58:0.0

Please let me know what is wrong ?

Thanks

Srikar

[markus_doehr2]

Did you login as user root or did you use "su" to get to root?

Markus

[Former Member]

Hi Markus,

Yes I am in root, please see this:

[root@caarma ~]# pwd

/root

[root@caarma ~]# xclock

Error: Can't open display: 172.30.5.58:0.0

[root@caarma ~]#

Thanks

Srikar

[markus_doehr2]

And you´re executing that all in an xterm? or on the console?

Markus

[Former Member]

Hi Markus,

I am executing them in Terminal. When I start the Linux Server it directly goes into Gnome GUI. From there I am opening the Terminal and executing them.

Thanks,

Srikar

[markus_doehr2]

Try the following:

- open a second terminal

- enter "xhost +"

- try to start "xclock"

Markus

[Former Member]

Markus I opened a new Terminal and did the following:

[root@caarma ~]# xhost +

access control disabled, clients can connect from any host

[root@caarma ~]# xclock

When I entered xclock I could see the Clock.

Thanks

Srikar

[markus_doehr2]

Good!

Then do now the same in the other terminal (xhost +) before you start sapinst. Does it work now?

Markus

[Former Member]

Markus I tried to start the SAPInst in the new Terminal where I could see the xclock, but again its hanging at the same stage like before.

Thanks

Srikar

[markus_doehr2]

This is all very strange.

Please try to create a separate directory and call sapinst relative to that directory:

mkdir /install
cd /install
/Dumps/51032523/IM_LINUX_I386/sapinst

also make sure "java -version" is showing the correct JDK and not the Gnu java.

Markus

[Former Member]

Markus when I tried "java -version" I am getting the output of this:

java -version

java version "1.4.2"

gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-42)

This is the env variables setup I have don in .bash_profile

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

export PATH

unset USERNAME

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_14/bin/java

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_14/bin

Can you please let me know is this correct ?

Thanks

Srikar

[markus_doehr2]

Markus when I tried "java -version" I am getting the output of this:

java -version

java version "1.4.2"

gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-42)

you are using the wrong java version because...

This is the env variables setup I have don in .bash_profile

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

export PATH

unset USERNAME

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_14/bin/java

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_14/bin

..this is wrong

if you execute "java" it won´t find the path, the path would expand to /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.14/bin/java/java which is not correct.

Change the environment:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_12

export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

delete the "export PATH" at the beginning.

Then logon and log back in as root. Open a terminal and check with the command

which java

if the correct one is used.

Then exeucte again "xhost +", try if xclock works and if yes, then start sapinst again.

Markus

[Former Member]

Markus I have changed the Env Variables and tried the "java -version", I think its showing the right one now:

java -version

java version "1.4.2_14"

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_14-b05)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_14-b05, mixed mode)

which java

/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_14/bin/java

Then I tried with "xhost +" and "xclock" which is working, I could see the clock. Then I tried the Sapinst, again the same issue it hanging with the text below:

[==============================] - extracting... done!

I don't know what is wrong now Please take a look.

Thanks

Srikar

[markus_doehr2]

Please try to not execute ./sapinst from the directory but from a relative installation directory - as stated before.

Stop the sapinst and delete all in /tmp

rm -rf /tmp/sapinst*

Then try the way I said a few messages above (mkdir /install etc.)

Hi Markus,

I am sorry I need to logout from office yesterday due to some other issues, so could not reply you.

I have tried creating the install directory and called the Sapinst, but still the same error:

[root@caarma install]# /Dumps/51032523/IM_LINUX_I386/sapinst

[==============================] - extracting... done!

Starting GuiServer using:

/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_14/bin/java -cp /tmp/sapinst_exe.9964.1215712059/JAR/instgui.jar:/tmp/sapinst_exe.9964.1215712059/JAR/inqmyxml.jar -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/urandom SDTServer config=jar:sdtserver.xml guiport=21212 sapinsthost=localhost sapinstport=21200 guistart=true

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

What would be wrong ?

PS: Installation Master DVD for Windows and Linux is same right ? or the SAP DVD's package for the Linux/Orcale installation comes in a different set ?

Thanks

Srikar

[Former Member]

Hi Markus any luck for me !

[Former Member]

Hi Markus I am still running with the same issue. Can you please take a look and suggest me what would be wrong ? Its very important for me to achieve this.

This problem got resolved by installing Libpx library in Linux.

Sorry for closing this thread so lately & thanks for all the inputs
