I am very clue less about the problem, Can I find out this error.

Most likely you do not have a window manager configured in your ~/vnc/xstartup file. Mine, for example, looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey vncconfig -iconic & startxfce4 &
The last line starts up my window manager and desktop.

My version of xtartup file is --- #!/bin/sh (-) # Add the following line to ensure you always have an xterm available.

I got this script form this tutorial on the cetos site. Do you see any error in this.

Nothing apparent, but check that the twm manager is available. On the server, what is the result of:
which twm

There appears to be a typo in your xstartup script:
#!/bin/sh (-)
That should just be: #!/bin/sh
Yes sir you got me. Thank you :)
That was the error.

Have you tried freenx and either nxclient or the NX clients you can download from http://www.nomachine.com for linux/windows/mac? It is really much nicer than vnc for remote access.
