Configuring Font Server giving error : /usr/bin/X11/xfs error: Fatal font server error!

[Deepu Chakravarty]

when starting xfs it is giving error:

# /sbin/init.d/xfs start
/usr/bin/X11/xfs error: Fatal font server error!
/usr/bin/X11/xfs error: Cannot establish any listening sockets

/sbin/init.d/xfs[27]: 11884 Abort


Tried:
------

netstat -an |grep 7000, has the following output:
# netstat -an |grep 7000
tcp 0 0 *.7000 *.* LISTEN


That means something else is using the port.

How to resolve the problem ?

Help is required.

Deepu -- This has been seen in the past when something else is using port 7000 already.

You may wish to try a different port for xfs and see if this fixes your problem.

Do you have lsof installed? (http://hpux.ee.ualberta.ca/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/lsof-4.74/)

What does

ps -ef | grep X11

return?

and

lsof -i :7000

returns what?
