[Former Member]

Hi!

Trying to ./RUNINSTALLER (by ora<SID>) during Solman installation

get error

Can't connect to X11 window server using '10.7.140.3:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

TIA!

Not Sure how you are connecting to System.

If you are using putty or any utlity alike

1 . Enable X11 support .

2 .I beleive xterm emulation s/w is ruuning on your PC

3.set "xhosts + " if you use xterm32 or use x-win32

4. Set DISPLAY 10.xx.xx.xx:0.0 depending up your shell

5.try running xclock to see the xterm is working

6.then call RUNINSTALLER

Good luck.

Hi Tonya,

1. Connect to HP-UX server with GUI console / X-manager.

2. Login with ora<SID>.

3. give execute permission to RUNINSTALLER file.

Tonia,

Please open new GUI console login to GUI console using ora<SID> users. do not use su -ora<SID> on same console. Now check permission of RUNINSTALLER and try to execute ./RUNINSTALLER.

Hi Antonina,

You must have to set the DISPLAY variable as mentioned below.

setenv DISPLAY howt name on which XSERVER has been installed:variable values on XSERVER

Ex: setenv DISPLAY 10.4.2.1:0.1;

set

warm regards

Hello,

pardon me - but to be honest i don't understand your problem.

Do you have a X-Server running on the HP-UX server or on your client? (like Exceed for Windows)

You need to set the DISPLAY variable to a valid X-Server that allows remote connections (xhost +).
