I am new to netweaver. I download and installed netweaver 7.03 on a standalone windows server 2008 r2 and it was installed successfully.
the next step I tried to do was to execute sapguiinst.exe. it brings up the dialog box "Connection to the Server" and then gives the following error message:
Error while connecting to communication partner - see preceding messages.
Could not connect to host localhost on port 21212.
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
host is localhost and port is 21212. I have tried ip address, hostname, 21000 for the port, and through netstat verified that neither 21212 or 21200 are being used.
virtual memory on the VM is 10 GB. there were no problems during the install of netweaver 7.03.
