can not start x server.

Hi to all,

i cant start my x server.
I use putty and xming.
When i type xclock i get no promt back and i must type ctrl+c to get promt again.
start x is giving me:

Code:

[oracle@dell dbs]$ startx


Fatal server error:
PAM authentication failed, cannot start X server.
        Perhaps you do not have console ownership?


Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
         at http://wiki.X.Org
 for help.

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
giving up.
xinit:  unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.
Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console

DISPLAY is set to ip:0.0
where ip is ip of my pc
what to do ?
how can i start my x?
