"sesame -server host" issues on dedicated host

Dear all,

I'm renting a dedicated host online which itself runs on Linux.
To this machine I'd like to run my databases to make them accessable worldwide.

I'm configuring this machine with PuTTY (console based) and have following problem by starting the sesame server:

-------
h1673219:/usr/local/Sesame2/Program # ./sesame -server h1673219
Can't open display:
-------

I've started the sesame server on my windows machine to see it's function; and really a GUI is started.

Is any switch or solution available preventing that the GUI is startet, in order to run the server properly?

best wishes,

Dirk

From the user guide:

"-daemon
This command causes the server to run without a user interface (console window)."

The Linux version is expecting X11 (the GUI on Linux) to be running. Instead of trying to get a GUI running on your putty client, you should invoke sesame in "daemon" mode, running without a GUI. There is a command line flag: "-daemon" that tells Sesame to start without a graphical user interface:

Code
Select All
../sesame -daemon -server h1673219

Dear Sesame users,

thanks a lot for the quick and useful reply. ! it's working.

I put the -daemon flag at the end of the line!


best regards,

Dirk
