Hi,

Export your display setting to your ip-address.
# who am i -uH
# export DISPLAY=your_ip_address:0.0

Re: Error Opening Mozilla

The xserver must be installed in your client pc, there a may xserver clients for windows. check on your pc if you have one installed. If you have it installed, fire it up , export the display terminal as the previous post told you, and then lauch mozilla.

Re: Error Opening Mozilla

Hello,

are you connected locally via the server's graphic card or remotely through XDMCP ? You have to be using an xterm to start mozilla from the command line.

In case you are connected on a local display console, set your DISPLAY variable as follows:

#export DISPLAY=server_ip_address:0.0

In case you are connected remotely, set it to be your PC address where your X server is running:

#export DISPLAY=PC_ip_address:0.0

then, start mozilla:

#/opt/mozilla/mozilla &
