Major installation problems
I am running into some serious headache installing the Java ES on a Solaris 10 / x86 platform. However I was having the same difficulties on a Sparc Platform and I am trying to install it in a non-global zone. I did try to install it in a global zone before and I seemed to have resulted in the same errors.
1) Following through the installation, when it is asked if I want to configure selected products now or later, I do it now, but I can NEVER get them configured. When it is asked to enter my IP address, it keeps saying that it is invalid. I thought perhaps it could be that it doesn't want a private IP, but even if I type in any kind of IP address whatsoever it gives me an invalid IP message and I cannot go further. I decided to try to see if I could just configure them manually aferwards, so I would skip this.
2) Through the installation (I am ultimately seeking to install the messaging system platform, calendar, to support Outlook. etc) it goes through and then fails. The error logs produce the same errors over and over again, it is looking for files which should be in the ISO image I downloaded but they aren't there. I'll copy and paste a few of the files here and hopefully someone has seen something similiar.
I mounted both ISO images but needed to copy the entire content to the disk because it was originally prompting me to insert the CD over and over and over so copying it let me pass that problem.
Here are lines the log file produced:

and just thousands more like this. I looked into sman1 and it's empty. other folders share the same characteristics, the installer is looking for files in a directory that has absolutely nothing :S
Any help would be really appreciated, I am trying to evaluate this system to implement our messaging platform but I can't even get it installed!
Thanks
Nick!
