Actually it is running:
netstat -tuln | grep 590 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5901 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5902 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5903 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::5901 :::* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::5902 :::* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::5903 :::* LISTEN
Why 5901 and 2 are listening, I don't know...
when I vnc to my server I get that basic nasty blank X11 screen. I modified /root/.vnc/xstartup with:
exec /bin/sh /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc
But restarting vncserver@:3 does not seem to get the vnc client to get my xfce desktop, only the blank x11 desktop.
Oh and restart gives the same errors as start does, but the pids are there:
# ls .vnc/ homebase.home.htt:1.log homebase.home.htt:2.pid passwd homebase.home.htt:1.pid homebase.home.htt:3.log xstartup homebase.home.htt:2.log homebase.home.htt:3.pid
I see:
cat .vnc/homebase.home.htt:1.log

2.log has different errors.
3.log actually has connection information (as I am connecting to 5903?)
thanks

OK, first time configuring vncserver on Centos7. I have read through a bunch of old messages here on vncserver and thought I had it. Obviously not.
