X Server

I am having problems starting X on one of our HPUX systems.

This is a copy of the file
: /var/dt/Xerrors


Mon Oct 1 10:59:51 2001

Hello,

check wether some other process has opened this port
(177), e.g. using "netstat -an|grep "177 " or "lsof".
Then kill this process...

check permissions using CDE diagnostic tool dr_dt

/tmp springs to mind as does /var/spool/scokets.

If that fails to unearth the problem try removing entries under /var/spool/scokets/X11 & /var/spool/sockets/####. entries ?

check another window manager eg VUE is not running ? check another process is not using the Xserver port, 177 I think.

Reboot ?
