I can get VNC installed, and Xfce, but I cannot connect remotely with any viewers. tried many ports and still no go. Was using this tutorial http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server?highlight=(tigervnc)
I am guessing its in the IP tables cat iptables
*filter :INPUT ACCEPT [396:30624] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [216:23216] -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp -m multiport --dports 5901:5903,6001:6003 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited -A FORWARD -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited COMMIT

I think I should start with a known working tutorial, then if I have issue I can try to troubleshoot them. You are correct it wasn’t started, I forgot to re-install VNC for the 5th attempt, I need a working LAMP platform more than VNC at the moment so I will wait until someone puts together a working tutorial before trying again.
How about “ps -e | grep vnc” Was there any output when you ran <br> <br><pre> <br>/sbin/service vncserver start <br></pre> <br> <br>It doesn’t sound like the VNC server is started.
Got nothing from the <br>netstat -tulp | grep vnc <br>command. Just returns # <br> <br>I can putty into the unit with the ip/root/passwd without issue. <br>TightVNC viewer times out when trying to connect :5901 <br> <br> <br> <br>
You should be able to connect via 5901. Are you getting any kind of error when you try to connect? On the server, what’s the output of: <br> <br>netstat -tulp | grep vnc <br> <br>From another computer, can you connect to the server with: <br> <br>telnet 107.170.114.237 5901 <br> <br>Also, I’d encourage you to set up a non-root user to access VNC.
