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. *Thanks and Regards, Kapil Singh Kushwah Linux System Administrator Hotwax Media Inc.
