hp-ux 11.11 10g install can't run DBCA

[Fernando Thompson]

I have installed the 10g software and attemped to run DBCA for the database creation. However I am getting the exception in main error. Also tried the export DISPLAY command and used the hostname. But that did not work. My server is not connected to a network. Its a standalone. Can anyone help with this.

The error I am getting is

$/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_7/bin/dbca
Xlib: connection to "xx00:0.0" refused by server
Xlib : Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
Exception in thread "main" $ export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0



We also commented the last line of DBCA scrip out. The relating to Java.

Thanks

try to run:
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
xhosts +

as the root user and retry the DBCA using the oracle user.

Before that you can try to launch:
xclock

and see what it is giving you.

hi again,

The DISPLAY environment variable seems to be resolving to "xx00:0.0"

This is definitely a problem which has to do with X windows calls not being set up. The way to get around this problem is to exit out of the oracle user and log in as root.
Once you are logged in as root type xhost + and you will get a message back:

access control disabled, clients can connect from any host

Once this message is returned you can su - oracle, source your environment, then type in oidadmin.

let us know if this fixes the mentioned problem.
