| Hi all,
First of all, let me thank aff of you who answered my earlier questions
on mathematica (however amateurish they seemed!).
I have a problem with the webmathematica in linux. we managed to get it
installed and it works, but for some reason it just cannot show any
graphics genereated by mathematica! none of the plots i generate are
shown on the webmathematica page, they are simply replaced by "created
by webmathematica" banner with a red cross in the corner.the text
outputting is perfectly fine. rather puzzling! any ideas on how to fix
this? do i need to reinstall?
plz help!
thanks
Pradeep

Do the sample pages run OK ?
I am 95% sure you will find the problem is related to the X server.
I have had similar (but not idential) problems running on a Sun. The
Mathematica process must connect to an X server. If it does not, text
based examples (eg. the Hello one, which shows the date) run OK, but
anything that produces graphs, or formats output does not.
Try this - it is not a long term solution, but woth a try for a short period
1) Log onto the console as the user who runs the tomcat process.
2) xhost +localhost
3) Stay logged in on the console.
4) Try the example again.
