I use Exceed 8 as X-Window remote admin to connect to server (sunOS
5.8 sparc). I need to install WAS 4.0 AE to server. As I read at forum
I exported DISPLAY=localhost:0, but, nevertheless everytime I got the
folowing:
-------------------------------console----------------------------------------
bash-2.03# cd /var/was/sun
bash-2.03# export DISPLAY=localhost:0
bash-2.03# ./install.sh
Archive: SUN_ASTree_US.zip
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to
X11 window server using 'localhost:0' as the value of the DISPLAY
variable.

localhost:0 is (probably) wrong. Use the name of your workstation (for
example myworkstation:0 - and do an xhost + if you can't connect to
your local X server (although Exceed does this by default).

If you are using Exceed with ssh (with x tunnelling) then you should be able
to do what you are trying to do. Make sure that your ssh client can tunnel x
traffic.
Else export DISPLAY=<your workstation ip address>:0.0
