But, I am getting an error that read as follows:
**error**: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See 302 Found for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: /bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message)
How do I fix this error on a newly formatted/installed RHEL or CentOS Linux 6.x server?

You need to install D-Bus. It is nothing but a message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to one another. In addition to interprocess communication, D-Bus helps coordinate process lifecycle; it makes it simple and reliable to code a "single instance" application or daemon, and to launch applications and daemons on demand when their services are needed. You also need to install Fonts on a CentOS/RHEL based system.To fix /bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message on a CentOS/RHEL

Type the following yum command to install D-Bus and Fonts:
$ sudo yum install dbus-x11
