Hope this email finds you well.

I need your advice with something if you can help out.

I have an RC serer (selenium rc) which is running on a centos 5.2 and another on a 5.4 machine.
if i run it through X server, in other words if i run the server while connected to VNC.
it works fine.
but if i run it through ssh, it will start normally though upon test execution it will fail with the following error:


11:05:01.571 INFO - Preparing Firefox profile...
Error: no display specified
11:05:21.818 ERROR - Failed to start new browser session, shutdown browser and clear all session data
java.lang.RuntimeException: Timed out waiting for profile to be created!
     
11:05:21.833 INFO - Got result: Failed to start new browser session: Error while launching browser on session null


any idea how i can solve this?

Thanks,

--Roland
