"No protocol specified" error w/X11

[dorkus]

hi all,
i just installed Apple X11 on my powerbook (new 12" model woohoo) and am having a problem, the xserver seems to be refusing any connections whatsoever. i've tried all manners of DISPLAY env var (none, localhost, physical IP) but no luck:

% xhost +
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

xhost: unable to open display ":0.0"
% export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
% xhost +
Xlib: connection to "localhost:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

xhost: unable to open display "localhost:0.0"
% export DISPLAY=172.16.2.143:0.0
% xhost +
Xlib: connection to "172.16.2.143:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

xhost: unable to open display "172.16.2.143:0.0"


this is from the xterm started by default when launching X11.

any ideas?

thanks,
dorkus

it turns out my problem was an incorrect $HOME path in my bash .profile. i had copied my profile from another server i use so the $HOME was wrong. i'm not sure why this results in incorrect protocol, but that was my issue... not sure if this is your problem though.
