XServer error

[Aji Thomas]

hi guys,

I have my oracle E-Business suite application using X-Windows for the display. But recently all our reports that use this X-Windows for display are failing. I have set Display within the profile to <0.0> and when i enter xclock or xterm it open a window on the X-Windows machine. But none of the oracle application reports are working.

Please advice,
AJi

You can not use hostname with DISPLAY variable. You have to use IP-Address only.

export DISPLAY=:0.0

it will work now.

Is this something that was working before?
In addition to setting the display variable, you need to run "xhost +" on the client.

Have you tried logging into the Oracle box using:

ssh -X oraclebox

Hi,

It started working after a restart of the HP box. What could have gone wrong... Any idea..

Please advice,

May be x server is not running? It will be started on reboot.

Hi

How to find whether X Service is running or not.

[Muthukumar_5]

Check the process as,

# ps -ef | grep dtlogin

or

# ps -ef | grep xterm

hp-ux box will have service as,

# /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc

It has to be started.

# grep 'dtlogin' /etc/rc.log

gives dtlogin startup.

Is this problem related with hpux? If so plz post question in hpux forums itself.
