[Quoted] Even though you do not explicitly state which version of 9iAS, it appear to me that you are using R2.

[Quoted] I've installed 9iAS R2 on Solaris boxes. The command line to start a Reports Server is rwserver server=repserver
At least on Solaris the DISPLAY environmental variable needs to be set & pointing towards a functioning X-Windows server.

[Quoted] Also to AVOID many bugs you need to install the CORE patchset plus Patchset #1 for Forms & Reports.
