Hi all,
I want to start openoffice in server mode and I'm trying with this
command:
./soffice -accept="socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp;" -headless
-norestore -invisible
.. but after the command execution I have this error:
/usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/soffice.bin X11 error: Can't open display:
Set DISPLAY environment variable, use -display option
or check permissions of your X-Server
(See "man X" resp. "man xhost" for details)
Can someone help me??

OpenOffice wants access to a X screen. I presume you try to start it as
root from a client terminal as a normal user and want to run it on a
'remote' client.
I take it that the client is running on the same machine as you are using
a local host address to accept connections to: 127.0.0.1. Then what it is
missing is access to the terminal you are typing the command.
Use xhost + (as the normal user) to accept any remote connection to the
terminal screen. To re-direct the output to a X terminal set the DISPLAY
environment to its qualified lokal network address like
DISPLAY=192.168.0.1:0 The 0 representing the display number to use You
might also specify the IP adress with the -display="192.168.0.1:0"
directly on ./soffice command line.
This method is not limit for use with OpenOffice alone: I do use it with
with Eclipse (an IDE) and GNU Cash as well to squeeze more use of my home
dual processor/ 1GB file-server. It is a feature of X which is relative
easy to use with an Ubuntu distribution (so Debian would not be a
problem).I did not get it to work with SuSE becuase it has already a some
remote handler in use. I think it will work with Red Hat as well, at least
it did work for Eclipse on a Windows with a CygWIN X server.
Currently I have GNU cash running on display 1 (because the Ubuntu is
running KDE on the local PC occupying(?) screen 0)
