Hi,

Check for PAM for OS level related, and also download the installation guide as per the OS. In installation guide you can get all the details step by step.

Hi Imran,

A good start into SAP on Linux, beside looking for compatibility on PAM, is the following SDN site: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/linux. You can find lots of useful information in the sub section 'Key Topcis'.

Important notes are the SAP on Linux Master Note and others which are:

Did you unpack the DVDs on a Windows machine?

Try

cd <installation-DVD>
chmod -Rf 775 *

Then try to start sapinst again.

Is you DISPLAY variable set? You can't install without being in graphical mode.

> while i have install java vesion jre1.4.0_12 in /usr/java

That version is not supported.

You need to install

for a 32bit Linux system the Sun JDK 1.4.2

See Note 716604 - Access to Sun J2SE and recommended J2SE options

for 64bit Linux system the IBM JDK 1.4.2

Note 1172419 - Linux: Supported Java versions on the x86_64 platform

Usually it's not necessary to set the JAVA_HOME anywhere but in the shell you're executing the sapinst. In normal cases <sid>adm is not yet existing.

You can do that - it's not a problem.

Then you X server configuration seems to be ok.

sapinst should come up. Make sure you deactivated the firewall on the box.
