cannot find executable sapcontrol at these locations webdispatcher7.4 installation

Hi ,

i am getting the error when installing sap web dispatcher 7.4 with SWPM latest version.

The strange issue here is the same software i used to install it on Non-production server it worked perfect,everything went fine.

I am unable to trace what is causing this issue on the host where i am installing.I do not see any logs in sapinst_dev.log.

in kernel directory i have not seen any files except IGSEXE.SAR,

i compared the permissions groups with non-production everything looks same .

one more interesting thing when i installed the web dispatcher on Non-Production DMZ server i see the below screen finding Non-Unicode executable,where as in present host i don't see this screen .

I am running the installer through root user.

If anyone come across this issue earlier or know the root cause please share the information.

Regards

Janakiram

First restart SAPINST and see if that helps.

Provide the logs from the installation directory.

Hi All,

Thanks for all you suggestions .

Issue got resolved  by rebuilding the Server.Host file got corrupted at OS level.

Hi Janakiram,

Please check the following

1) SWPM latest - 1 version is being used

2) sapcontrol is installed and running

3) If there are previous incomplete installations on the server, please clear them off and start fresh again.

4) Attach sapinst_dev.log

Hope this helps.

Hi Deepak,

i am using the latest SWPM-SWPM10SP05_2-20009701.SAR tool available in the market place.

sapcontrol should be instalalled by sapinst during the installation.

even i tried to manually extract the kernel to and retry the installation..it says cannot start the service

when login with <sid>adm to start the web dispatcher it is not starting .it complains no instance profile found but i see the profile is existing in profile directory .

there will be no previous installations on this host,it's fresh installation.

SAP also looking  in to the system ,so far they haven't find any root cause.

Hi Janakiram,

Can you try starting it manually.

Can you please check at your exectuables do you have the hostcontroller.

I won't recommend right now but you still have an option to use

SAPINST_CHECK_PACKAGES=false

SAPINST_SKIP_ERRORSTEP=TRUE

after executing sapinst
