hi friens

i am getting error message when installing lotus on linux machine

"Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

Please edit your shell's DISPLAY environment variable to reflect an unlocked terminal that you would like to launch the Domino Setup Program on."

please help me....

Well I don't *exactly* know the answer, but this is the command for changing the DISPLAY env variable:
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.1
Try fiddling with it to see if anything works.

I also had this,

I just ignored it,
I think i just assumes you have an x environment,

its at the end of the install right?
I did a remote setup,
so i just manually started
/opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server -listen

and the setup went fine.

then after that
i went to the
/local/notesdata directory
and from there started
/opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server

hi friends

i tried above sugetion but the same issue persist when i am running
/opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server

and if you use
/opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server -listen
and than setup from a remote pc,
does that give the error?

yes
i am getting same error. please sugest what to do..

Maybe one thing,
If you enter "server -listen"
and you get the error, but is the "server -listen" command still running or does it kill the
"server - listen" command?

I used this site,
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docvie...id=swg21107421

read from "The second method of setting up a UNIX server is to do it remotely:"


for the rest i'm out of ideas,
but if it is a debian based linux maybe this link will help,
it's a script for setting correct variables and init script voor debian based distro's

http://www.roverex.org/trac/

or maybe install X environment and after setup remove it

(and maybe use root (sudo) to execute server setup)

can you maybe post your /local/notesdata/setuplog.txt
maybe that is possible to debug.
