mozilla display problem

[bhupesh m]

#ps output is:

26821 pts/ta 0:00 sh
26820 pts/ta 0:00 telnetd
1846 pts/ta 0:00 ps

i used
#export DISPLAY=ip:0.0

after that
#/opt/mozilla/mozilla
is telling that:
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: ip:0.0

i changed sh to ksh and the problem continues.


and i have some more doubts: i am new to unix and hpux.
i thought that browsing is possible only in windows, not in unix. just few months back only, i came to know mozilla available for hpux.
1. i like to know from which year and which version of hpux, mozilla is available?
and
2. who introduced first browser for unix? (ie hpux or aix or solaris)
3. how many of u use ITRC in mozilla in hpux?
4. is mozilla functionallity is same in both windows and hpux?

thanks,

in swlist, mozilla is there.
since os is 11.23, i think, mozilla is installed by default, i think...

swlist |grep MOZILLA
MOZILLA 1.2.1.03.00 Mozilla 1.2 for HP-UX
MOZILLAsrc 1.2.1.03.00 Mozilla 1.2 Source distribution

I think you are trying to open browser from a charecter terminal.You can open browser or any GUI only if you are in CDE (x window) terminal.
If your console is a monitor (not terminal),you have to login to CDE first.Then you can start browser.

Other option is to use any Xwindow software from Windows PC.You have to use software like reflection ,Xmanager (This is free download) etc.

once you login to CDE,enter following commands to start Mozilla
#export DISPLAY=yourpcip:0.0
#/opt/mozilla/mozilla &

s. u r right sysadmin.
i am trying that with putty.

now, i tried and logged in with console and exported the display.

# /opt/mozilla/mozilla &
[2] 7374

/usr/dt/bin
# Error: Can't open display: 16.138.47.199:0.0
Error: Couldn't find per display information
and hung at that position.

and i closed that session.

now, 1.) how to login to CDE? i have root passwd. shall i login to putty and execute /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin ?

As i mentioned in the last post,your console has to be VGA monitor (not charecter termianl) to get x window.

If you are connecting from pc,you dont have to use putty.Putty is for telnet/SSH connection only.Not for xwindow.

To start xwindow from PC,
DOwnload Xmanager from this site

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Remote-Utils/Xmanager.shtml

install it

once installed,click on start-->programs-->xmanager-->xbrowser
enter your server IP address in the window.
Now you will get CDE login.
Login as root.

Hope this is clear for you
