SJWS 6.1 SP6 HP-UX version not possible to upgrade/migrate
It's not possible to run setup an install it on top of a 6.1SP5 installation.
It says "ERROR: The directory /opt/ns/ns-6 already exists and might contain
pre-4.0 Sun ONE servers. Installing into an existing
pre-4.0 server root is not supported. Choose another
server root.
"
If I install in a new directory it is not possible migrate from 6.1 SP5
obj.conf and server.xml is not created.
Is someone responsible for testing?

Upgrade : a process by which you transition your installed product from an older service pack to that of a newer service pack (SP) of same version. This only updates the binaries (in rare cases it may also modify the config files).
Ex : A transition from 6.1 SP5 -> 6.1 SP6 is an upgrade.
Migration : a process by which you transition your installed product from a lower version(Major/Minor) to that of a higher version irrespective of the SP. This translates only the configuration files from older version of the product to that of the the new version.
Ex : A transition from 6.0 -> 6.1 is an upgrade.
I gather you are trying to upgrade your installation. Could you please check the contents of the file in <SERVER_ROOT>/setup/installed.pkg. where <SERVER_ROOT> is the path where you have installed SJSWS 6.1 SP5
It should resemble :
Edition=Web Server, Enterprise Edition
Major Version=6
Minor Version=1
SP Version=5

Hi,
This is what it looks like.
/opt/ns/ns-6/setup]$ more installed.pkg
2:0:1:0:0:
Edition=Web Server, Enterprise Edition
Major Version=6
Minor Version=1
SP Version=5
By the way I also tryed the international version with the same result.
Kind Regards

Yes, of course. Web Server 6.1 SP6 was tested quite extensively.
The error message you cite suggests that your 6.1 SP5 install was corrupted. Is it possible that someone manually deleted the /opt/ns/ns-6/.suitespot file? The installer looks for this file.

Great!
Found .suitespot file on my other staging system(not much in it ;-) and it installed nice at that system.
Thanxs
P.S.
Noted that you now need to have a full qualified domain name in system. e.g in test environment I had to update /etc/hosts with domain name

Yeah, the contents of the .suitespot file aren't important. It just has to be there. If you recreate it, the installer should be happy:# touch /opt/ns/ns-6/.suitespotOf course, after you upgrade, you should encourage everyone with write access to the system to stop deleting random Web Server files...
