==================================================================

'sapinst_instdir' directory is not getting created in the /tmp directory, so i am not able to get the 'sapinst.log, sapinst_dev.log'

Port 21200 is not used by any other services

when ever i run the ./sapinst, the child pid is getting crashed

i have read the Master and Installation docs

Should i go for latest 'SAPINST' version?

How to check free port on the serve?

i am on AIX UNIX 5.3 + ORACLE 10.2

I am Installing from a remote terminal service id, which is on windows 2003 server

i have set the $PATH, $DISPLAY, $JAVA_HOME variable

java version = java14_64 [JRE]

PLEAE SUGGEST A WORK AROUND ASAP

Thanks and Regards,

Sometimes this error occurs due to "orasid" and "sidadm" already exist in /etc/passwd files.

Remove "orasid" and "sidadm" from passwd file. Before changing the file please take the backup of the file.

Hi

Am unable to start the SAPinst.

the error i observed is *Call to bind[] for socket 21200 1740 failed 103 guiengine.connection.failed 21200,943 exit*

Could you tell me why this error occured.

Is there any path setting required to be done before installation.

Server existing on the system was succesfully uninstalled and all services related to it were removed.Then re-tried for installation.

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

This error can come due to many reasons like.

1. Not running 'sapinst' with root user

2. Filesystem access problem

3. Another sapinst is alrady running due to which port is in use

4. ulimit is not set to unlimited.

Please check all the above conditions & try again.

Hi Sujoy,

Problem is due to old 'sapinst' file. Download new 'sapinst' from Marketplace & replace old 'sapinst' file with this.

This should solve your problem.

Hi,

Thanks to all for advice.

I had installed latest 'sapinst' from service market place and was able to complete the installation.

Hi Sujoy,

The ports in use can be checked by issuing the command "netstat -a".

Making sure you have enough room in the /tmp is a good suggestion. If it isn't sufficient, you could consider to use another directory as your TMPDIR.

Furthermore: indeed try to download and use the latest "sapinst"-executable from SAP Net. This sometimes solves annoying problems like these on AIX 5.3, in my experience.

Good luck!

Henk.

let start with the basics...

Are you starting ./sapinst as root?

Did you set SAPINST_JRE_HOME?

What's are the values of JAVA_HOME and SAPINST_JRE_HOME?

Do you have enough space on /tmp?

Regards
