Re: Purify and mod_fastcgi with session affinity

You probably need to set a DISPLAY environment variable in your Apache
environment (I wouldn't do this on a production system, only for
development).  Have it point back to whichever X display you sit at and
ensure that you're either using an open xhost setting (e.g. 'xhost +')
or set your xauth configuration properly to allow the display to open.
