Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Installation Problem Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
I'm trying to install 9iR2 on a Redhat AS3 machine and I'm getting an error
when running 'runInstaller'. I am doing this from an X session physically
on the server; not remote.
As 'oracle' user, I get the following error:
[oracle_at_mymachineDisk1]$ ./runInstaller
[oracle_at_mymachineDisk1]$ Initializing Java Virtual Machine from
/tmp/OraInstall2004-11-28_02-58-23AM/jre/bin/java. Please wait...
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
at sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.initDisplay(Native Method) at sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.<clinit>(X11GraphicsEnvironment.java:59) at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:120) at
at java.awt.Window.<init>(Window.java:188) at java.awt.Frame.<init>(Frame.java:315) at java.awt.Frame.<init>(Frame.java:262) at oracle.sysman.oii.oiic.OiicInstaller.main(OiicInstaller.java:593)
It hangs on that last line.
I tried exporting DISPLAY in different forms like this with the same
results:
mymachine:0.0 localhost:0.0 127.0.0.1:0.0
What is odd also, is that as 'oracle' user, I get this error when testing 'xclock' from an X session. This does not happend as root:
[oracle_at_mymachineoinstall]$ xclock
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
Error: Can't open display: :0.0
[oracle_at_mymachineoinstall]$
I'm thinking that this is some kind of security or permission issue but
don't know where else to look.
Appreciate your help. Thanks.
