SYNOPSIS:     Openwindows will not start

OS RELEASE:   

PRODUCT:      Solaris x86

KEYWORDS:     cui openwindows installation OWconfig


DESCRIPTION:

If you use the CUI interface during the installation of Solaris,
Openwindows will not be configured.  So, of course, when you try to
start openwindows you will discover that it will not come up.  If you
take a look at the OWconfig file you will discover that all of the lines
are commented out, indicating that it has not been configured.  The
OWconfig file can be found in the /etc/openwin/server/etc directory. 


SOLUTION:

Run the sysidconfig command to configure your OWconfig file. 
sysidconfig can be found in the /sbin directory. 

On Solaris 2.4 and later, the kdmconfig command is preferable.
