DISPLAY env var problem on Oracle installation

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have started the SAP ERP 2005 SR2 IDES with Oracle on RHEL5. In phase 8 of 28 it shows:

SAPinst now stops the installation.

To proceed successfully with the installation, you must install the Oracle database as follows:

Log in as user oracmp

Set the DISPLAY variable

Change to directory /oracle/stage/102_64/database/SAP

Start './RUNINSTALLER'

and I have opened a new terminal I have written these:

[root@RHEL5IDES1SRV ~]# su - oracmp

RHEL5IDES1SRV:oracmp 1> echo $DISPLAY

:0.0

RHEL5IDES1SRV:oracmp 2> xclock

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server

Xlib: No protocol specified

Error: Can't open display: :0.0

RHEL5IDES1SRV:oracmp 3> setenv DISPLAY 192.168.4.123:0.0

RHEL5IDES1SRV:oracmp 4> echo $DISPLAY

192.168.4.123:0.0

RHEL5IDES1SRV:oracmp 5> xclock

Error: Can't open display: 192.168.4.123:0.0

my server hostname is RHEL5IDES1SRV and IP 192.168.4.123.

I started the sapinst on server, So all these processes are working on server.

how can I set DISPLAY variable?

Thanks

open another terminal windows (as root) and execute

xhost +

Then set your DISPLAY as you did

setenv DISPLAY 192.168.4.123:0.0

and try again.
