VNC Connection refused (10061)
 

Hi,
I had installed tigervnc pacakges
1 tigervnc-server-1.1.0-5.el6_4.1.x86_64
2 tigervnc-1.1.0-5.el6_4.1.x86_64

Linux Distro : RHEL 6.4
Kernel version :2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64

when i try to connect through vncviewer it displays the error

VNC Connection refused (10061)

How to solve this problem ???

Usually that means there's no server detected. You installed the server, but are you running it? (i've forgotten to do this myself actually)
What does ps aux | grep vnc show?
If it is running, make sure the port, usually 5900, is open. If it is you can try running nmap to detect the service.

The vnc server is running

[root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/vncserver status
Xvnc (pid 9236) is running...

Output of the command ps -ef | grep vnc

[root@localhost ~]# ps -ef | grep vnc

I dont know how to open a port

output of netstat -ntlp | grep 5900
[root@localhost ~]# netstat -ntlp | grep 5900
tcp 0 0 :::5900 :::* LISTEN 9342/vino-server

i think its Ok ?

make sure /etc/services has a line with vino-server or vnc and port 5900 or 5901 or whichever.

Looks OK, but I was thinking from another machine, you would do

or whatever your machine's ip address is; I guess it comes to the same thing.

I suppose you could look in the logs for the error messages when you try to connect; there might be something there. I haven't used vino in a while, but I seem to recall that when you first install it you have to click something in the GUI interface to make it go. Usually I just start vncserver with the command "vncserver" after using ssh to get in, and with the ports tunneled. Sorry I don't have any other bright ideas.

i had checked the logs and found the error
now vncserver is working fine

Thanks for your advice
I am marking this thread as solved
