Transaction ADMIN is unknown

Question

Hi @ all,
i have another Problem with the Post Installation Steps of ITS.
I am at the Point:
You have installed the ITS Administration instance.
The ITS setup procedure for an administration instance includes installation of the ADM instance,
which is required by ITS to drive the ITS Administration tool. ADM contains the service admin for
managing ITS instances hosted on local and remote machines.
To do this, open your Web browser and start the ITS Administration tool with the following URL.
SO far so good. When i try to start the Administration tool with the URL:
http://192.168.280.35/scripts/wgate/admin/!
the Login for the Admin starts. After the login with my SAP Account i get the message
Cannot Start Transaction
The Internet Transaction Server could not start the transaction "admin" because of the following error: Transaction ADMIN is unknown.
So what the problem?
Could it be that i have no rights to start the Administration Tool?
Or is it nesessary to install a second Webserver for the Administration Instance, because of the single host installation?
Till now i have only the apache 2.2 Webserver.
Can somebody please help me again.
THX

Answer 1

Hi Phil,
Yes you need to have a separate Apache Web Server instance; using for example port 81 if your default instance is using 80
When you install the Admin instance - then you bind it to the Virtual Webserver instance running on port 81
You then call
http://192.168.280.35:81/scripts/wgate/admin/!
to access the Admin tool.
In your httpd.conf you should then have the
the following entrys:
Listen 80
Listen 81
<VirtualHost myserver:80>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost myserver:81>
</VirtualHost>
restart the Webserver. Then start the ITS Admin install and bind to port 81
