Exclamation I cannot access XFCE when launched via LightDM


As a personal project I decided to start building a Linux From Scratch (System V Edition, 9.1) on a virtual machine. Everything went out correctly until the moment of entering the system through LightDM. After login with the username and password, a message appears on the screen saying that the connection was refused. I have tried to find information about the problem, but nothing is helpful. I also tried using LXDM, but the same problem happened.

This is the message that appears:
Image of the problem
(Translation: Can't connect with the configuration server - Couldn't connect: Connection refused)

I can get into XFCE by running startx and startxfce4. However, when I try to enter the xfce4-session or xfsettingsd commands, the same error appears on the screen:

Code:
Unable to init server: No se pudo conectar: Conexión rehusada
(Translation: Couldn't connect: Connection refused)

Please let me know in case more information is required.

This is the content of the Xorg.0.log:

I used to use lightdm all the time, but recently it's become unreliable. Give lxdm a try instead.
