Re: [CentOS] Centos7 Cant start vncserver
Hi Robert apparently vncserver writes its PID file somewhere else than into /home/root/.vnc/homebase.home.htt:3.pid, where systemd expects it to be. Go into /lib/systemd/system/vncserver.service and correct the PID file location there, so that it matches the location where vncserver writes its PID file. And then do a systemctl deamon-reload systemctl start vncserver and then after the SECOND start of vncserver (not the first) it will work. suomi On 05/25/2017 07:00 PM, Robert Moskowitz wrote: Actually it is running: netstat -tuln | grep 590 tcp0 0 0.0.0.0:59010.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp0 0 0.0.0.0:59020.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp0 0 0.0.0.0:59030.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::5901 :::* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::5902 :::* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::5903 :::* LISTEN Why 5901 and 2 are listening, I don't know... when I vnc to my server I get that basic nasty blank X11 screen.
