[BangPypers] Howto run python selenium script on remote server

[Saju M]

Hi,
I created a script using selenium and its working in my local system.
But when i trying to run it in remote machine (Centos), getting error.
This script should need to open a firefox browser. So i think the the
script could not open the firefox browser on remote machine(Server).
Have any way to run it on remote machine(Server)?????.
