Could not display the GUI

[Arne]

Hello,

I'm trying to install Jira on my remote server (First time installing Jira.. ever..). I tried following the "Installing Jira on Linux"-guide where you install the .bin file. I'm getting the following message when executing the .bin file:

root@localhost:/install# ./atlassian-jira-6.0.8-x32.bin -c
Unpacking JRE ...
Starting Installer ...
Could not display the GUI. This application needs access to an X Server.
*******************************************************************
You can also run this application in console mode without
access to an X server by passing the argument -c
*******************************************************************
root@localhost:/install#

As you see I'm passing the argument -c and am executing this as root. Why is he still looking for a GUI? I thought there was no GUI installer for Jira?

Kind Regards,

Arne

For christ's sake. I noticed that I'm running in a 64-bit environment. I'm trying the 64-bit .bin file now and am confident that this will work as expected.

Did not notice that error before. Have you tried the .zip or .tar.gz files instead?

Well I have downloaded the x32 linux distribution on the downloads page wich is a .tar.gz. If you are referring to the WAR and standalone distribution, I haven't tried it because I'm not a real wizard with these things...
