Re: Anyone try to use SHIS in headless environment?

Hi Scott,

The easiest thing to do is to use Xvfb. It should already be on your
linux box. Just start it on a certain port, and set your display port
to point to it (setenv DISPLAY port), and run your OpenMap application
to build images normally.

Cheers,

Don
