1.1.3.1 Failed to Connect to Server Error

If you receive an Xlib error or a "Failed to connect to Server" error when you are running OUI on the Solaris operating system, do the following:

  1. Define the following environment variable on the host computer where you are running OUI:
    %setenv DISPLAY <machine name>:0.0 
  2. Replace <machine name> with the name of the computer that will display OUI.
  3. On the computer that will display OUI, enter the following command, which allows other computers to display information on the computer monitor: %xhost +
  4. Rerun the runInstaller.sh script after you have set the DISPLAY environment variable.

Note:

You can run OUI without specifying the DISPLAY variable by running in silent mode using a response file.
