Now I'll start playing with the visualizer app. So far it seems to work pretty well - I just need to make it use all available resources (it just runs sigle-core).
Thank you for your help, Sebastien!
For the record, this was the apache config that didn't work:

You are getting really close...Basically you have the ParaView process that properly started at the request of the client and waits to it to connect, which never happen.Usually that mean, you have a mistake either in your Apache config and/or in your launcher.Could you share your Apache virtual host with your launcher config along with the URL the web client connects to?SebOn Fri, May 6, 2016 at 5:47 AM, Jiří Vyskočil <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote:One more step closer to the goal it seems - if run: export XAUTHORITY=/var/run/slim/slim.auth DISPLAY=:0 xhost + as root, I can get the launcher to start, and not die with an X-related error (cumbersome workaround, but I guess I can find a better way later).

You can find some information about the virtual screen here: (Search for "Screen") http://kitware.github.io/paraviewweb/docs/guides/graphics_on_ec2_g2.html And for the autologin if it is needed.

The serves is not connected to a monitor or a keyboard (I only have access through ssh), but it has a nvidia GPU which I want to use for paraview. I have installed xdm to run the X server, and verified that it is in fact running with the correct nvidia drivers (by checking the Xorg.0.log file). The problem is I don't know how to run the paraview webserver on the X display when there's no one physically logged in - I can only get to the server via ssh. When I log in, and switch to the paraview user, the DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY variables are empty. The webserver itself is running (apache + the python launcher), but when I try to open any of the example applications, I get an error like this: $ ./launch-paraview.sh 2016-05-05 14:54:17,528:INFO:twisted:Site starting on 9000 2016-05-05 14:54:17,528:INFO:twisted:Starting factory <twisted.web.server.Site instance at 0x7fe20da6a998> 2016-05-05 14:55:09,655:INFO:twisted:"127.0.0.1" - - [05/May/2016:12:55:09 +0000] "POST /paraview/ HTTP/1.1" 503 78 "https://vbl-sim.eli-beams.eu/apps/Visualizer/"; "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0" $ cat 965318f2-12c0-11e6-a3cb-002590e6af35.txt 2016-05-05 14:55:06+0200 [-] Log opened.
