Here you are starting a vncserver on port 5902 for user "vnc". Does he exist?

...

here i have created a user vnc and set the password using vncpasswd cmd.

Ok

...

then i started the vncserver

# vncserver

   New 'localhost.localdomain:1 (gopinath)' desktop is
   localhost.localdomain:1

   Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
   Log file is /root/.vnc/localhost.localdomain:1.log

The above message was displayed about executing vncserver command. no OK status was displayed.

Well, you aren't seeing this message with that config. According to this, you are starting a server on port 5901 for a user "gopinath" who appears to be root?

...

then i used cmd

vncviewer localhost.localdomain:5901

it prompted for the passwd i gave the password then

it started vncviewer but in that only cursor is displayed which can be moved. but no GUI display.

Please help me on this if any one knows i am still a beginner to linux

You need to uncomment the two lines it says to uncomment in the file: vi ~/.vnc/xstartup

Good luck, jlc

Hello, Make sure that the vncserver service is start or not.

using

#service vncserver status

if it returns stop then start vncserver service.

#service vncserver start

use command

#vncserver localhost

initially no need to mention port number.

By default configuration, it runs well no need to set any thing anywhere. but, if still having some problem then,

try to reinstall it.

#yum remove vnc

#yum install vnc

and then start the service.
