Th e installer tries to reach host_name.compute.internal but gets no response.

I'd have to look into it to provide the exact steps (and might do a tutorial video. while on it - 😉 but typically, AWS manages hostname resolution outside of the operating system. So the OS gets a dummy name "host_name.compute.internal", which is resolved to a correct IP and hostname.domain.com by AWS.

Great feature but the installer does not support this and fails.

You would need to provide a proper host name and domain and assign an IP (/etc/hosts). Make sure that AWS does not override the hostname setting at system startup. Ping, nslookup, etc should all resolve the IP correctly. When this is the case, the installation should proceed without issues as well.

Hi,

I ran into similar problem on Google Cloud Platform.

the resolution consisted of :

1) adding hxehost in /etc/hosts (Assigning it to the internal IP address)

10.128.0.x hxehost

2) removing or commenting a line in /etc/resolv.conf

....

### Please remove (at least) this line when you modify the file!

#search c.sap-hanaexpress-public-158801.internal c.tidy-apricot-164917.internal google.internal

nameserver 169.254.169.254

hxehost:/etc #

Hi Andre Henry,

Can you please provide details on how you have installed SAP Cockpit in AWS? Do you need to use external SSH client for e.g. putty? I could not find the directory ... /SAPHANACOCKPIT00_0/. Please help. Thanks Andre.

Hey Bruce,

Sorry for such a long wait for an answer, but I hope you have received one. If not, to correct the installation problem related to my issue was in the /etc/hosts file by adding the IP address and hostnames within the "hosts" file under the correct format.

Denys,

Thanks for you response. I was able to resolve this issue setting the hostname and I can access the application within the local network to the host. SAP Cockpit can't be used remotely with https://ip:51021 because it's resolving using that dummy name "host_name.compute.internal".
