Unable to install Hyperic HQ

[giriraj_hyperic]

Hi

I am trying to install Hyperic HQ with in built database. I followed the Quick Install guide and chose options 1,3 (for Server and Agent).

The installer prompted me for database option - i chose default (2) and then it asked for uid/passwd and connect URL. I entered those but install fails at tha point. I am assuming that this tries to install in built database.

has anyone run into this error before?

Thanks

Looks like you have the "noJRE" installer. Which means there is no
built in database. You have two options:
1. Download a platform specific installer and install HQ with the
built-in database.
2. Install a database on your platform and point HQ at that database.

That is correct.

I did try with Windows specific installer and it worked fine - thanks.

However, if i choose the no JRE installer - the only db supported are Oracle/Postgres. Is there any support for SQl Server 2005?

thanks

At the moment there is no planned support for SQL Server on the backend.
