Hi Folks,

Similar issue was resolved by adding the below entry in the hosts file (/etc/hosts)

<ip address of host on which you are installing the product> <fqdn of your host> <hostname>

Hi Guys

same issue resolved by adding correct IP address in \etc\hosts

we faced same issue recently we have changed IP address of SAP system but for got to change it in host file. hence while running sapinst we were getting "could not connect to host localhost on port 21211"

immediately we have checked host entries and there it was showing old IP address.

we have add new IP address to the file and sapinst worked

Thanks for the reply. It was resolved by the changing the directory name where the sql installation dump was stored.

EARLIER IT WAS MS SQL 2008

I changed it to MSSQL2008 n the issue was resolved

This error is coming due to Java. Please check the Java environment variable. What is your Java version
