Hi,

You should be able to configure X without a problem. Did you
change
any hardware. What occurs when you try torun X? Also, you
may want
to try this command startx &> start.log and review the log
on why X
is failing.

Thanks.

Have you attempted to simply try to reinstall. The
E-Commerce is
nnothign more then the regular box set with some added
components.
Xfree86 and hardware support is all the same. If possible,
please
try to reinstall and reconfig X.

Thanks.

If it is that. I would like to refer you to
http://developer.redhat.com and report your problem as a
bug. Please
be sure to state that X does work upon installation. and
that you
are able to configure it fine when you isntalled the
standard 6.0
version. Thank you. And I apologize I am not able to be of
more
service. When you submit your bug report. It will go to a
developer
to take a look at your problem.

Thanks.

DESCRIPTION:
I originally installed RH 6.0 standard edition without any
problems.
 I've now done a clean load (wiped the hard drives) of the
Linux
e-commerce server.  Whereas with my original config I had no
problems with x windows, NOW they don't even work!  I have
ran
Xconfigurator a number of times and then tried startx but it
keeps
bombing out.

What am I forgetting, or is there something deeper and more
sinster
involved?At 8/24/99 1:29 AM you wrote - No hardware has been
changed, and I have configured X with no problems on my non
ecommerce machine without any problems.....

Here is the start log for the Xserver:

_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111

And while the tests during installation worked (the
installation
program was able to bring up Xwindows in the testing section
without
difficulty), upon completion of the load does this happen.
If you take a look at the start.log above you will see:

/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients: Permission
denied
   exec: /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients: cannot execute: Permission
denied

This, to me, gives the best clue as to the problem.
Especially
since this did not occur when I installed, on the same
server, the
non-commerce version of RH 6.0.  Have you really checked the
relationship of the added components to xwindows?

Also if your suggesting reloading only Xwindows...fine but
please
give me a list of the component rpms, so I don't have to go
through
the complete reinstallation a third time.

If your issue remains unresolved, please update your
