This has been really frustrating as I have done this before successfully without issue. For some reason, I just cannot seem to get vncserver to properly run on my server. I've installed it properly, setup users, made changes to the /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file, the port is open and I have port forwarding setup on my Linksys router.
Here is what I see when I run vncserver
Code:
[root@blackbox ~]# vncserver :1
New 'blackbox.testserver.net:1 (root)' desktop is blackbox.testserver.net:1
Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /root/.vnc/blackbox.testserver.net:1.log
[root@blackbox ~]#
But when I use the 'lsof' command, I am not seeing vncserver listening on any ports
Code:
[root@blackbox ~]# lsof -i | grep 'LISTEN'

rpc.mount 27264 root 7u IPv4 275267 TCP *:netviewdm3 (LISTEN)
I am not even seeing the process running under ps aux or top.
I have posted the error_log below. If anybody can help me out here, I would be greatly thankful as I have been trying to get this working for days now. If you need any other information, just let me know.
