Vnc

I was wondering how I can see if my server (FC3) has VNC enabled and is so, what else do I need to do besides open that port in my firewall (:5190)?

The port is typically 5800 and 5900, unless you modified it. And you can check it by using vncviewer from another box on your subnet, or externally if you port forward your router properly.

Code:

/etc/init.d/vncserver status

will tell you the status (running or not) of your vncserver.

Code:

[root@server carlos]# /etc/init.d/vncserver status
Xvnc is stopped
[root@server carlos]# /etc/init.d/vncserver start
Starting VNC server: 1:carlos                              [FAILED]

try just running it manually. run "vncserver" yourself and see what happens. you should have a log file at /root/.vnc/carlos:0.log or similar.

Also, you have to set your VNC server password or else it won't allow connections. Just an addendum.

consider that it's working without password, but better set one and why opening 5900 when u can port forward through SSH tunnel

on java based vncs is used 5901 ... 5902 or so for display `1,2...
