Hi all,

I have a problem trying to install Oracle in my shiny new AIX 7.1 environment. I have done this countless times in Linux, but AIX seems to not like the way I have my display variable set. I am using PuTTy, with xMing running on my Windows machine. I have enabled X11 forwarding in PuTTy, and I have my display variable set to 'localhost:0.0'. 0.0 is what xMing is saying the display is currently set to. This doesn't work. So I tried:

1. Checking the DISPLAY variable of a Linux machine that it works on (was set to localhost:10.0). I changed it to this but still nothing.

2. Setting it to simply '0.0' and '10.0', 'localhost:10.0', 'localhost:0.0', 127.0.0.1:0.0', '127.0.0.1:10.0'

None of the above work. When I run /usr/bin/X11/xdpyinfo it returns 'unable to open display'....anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Tom

Resolved. It turned out I had AllowX11Forwarding set to the default in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. I had to uncomment this and set it to:

AllowX11Forwarding yes

Hope this helps others.

Regards,

Tom
