Error: Can't open display: :0.0

Hi,

I get errors while running xclock from a non root user:

Code:
[root@localhost girish]# xclock        --- this works fine
[root@localhost girish]# su - girish
[girish@localhost ~]$ DISPLAY=:0.0; export DISPLAY
[girish@localhost ~]$ xclock
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

Error: Can't open display: :0.0
[girish@localhost ~]$

I basically want to install oracle. Please advice.

Regards,
Girish.

maxdb_connect_error - Returns a string description of the last connect error

SYNOPSIS
string maxdb_connect_error (void ) DESCRIPTION
The maxdb_connect_error(3) function is identical to the corresponding maxdb_connect_errno(3) function in every way, except instead of returning an integer error code the maxdb_connect_error(3) function will return a string representation of the last error to occur for the last maxdb_connect(3) call. If no error has occurred, this function will return an empty string. RETURN VALUES
A string that describes the error. An empty string if no error occurred. EXAMPLES
Example #1 maxdb_connect_error sample <?php $link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "nonexisting_user", ""); if (!$link) { printf("Can't connect to localhost. Error: %s ", maxdb_connect_error()); } ?> The above example will output something similar to: PHP Warning: maxdb_connect(): -4008 POS(1) Unknown user name/password combination <...> Can't connect to localhost. Error: POS(1) Unknown user name/password combination SEE ALSO
