Thanks - I followed that line of thought but I think I found a different
issue...
As I have installed it in /usr/local/turbovnc/1.2.1/ the /etc stuff also ended
up there instead of /etc...
I fixed that by copying turbovncserver-auth.conf turbovncserver.conf to /etc
But it still failed so I used the following command to determine what was going
on in the good (Centos 5) and bad (Centos 6) case...
strace -f -o vncserver.log vncserver :1
The good case got through the following...
execve("/usr/local/turbovnc/1.2.1/bin/Xvnc",
["/usr/local/turbovnc/1.2.1/bin/Xv", ":1", "-desktop", "MASSIVE", "-auth",
"/home/paulmc/.Xauthority", "-dontdisconnect", "-geometry", "1900x918",
"-depth", "24", "-rfbwait", "120000", "-otpauth", "-pamauth", "-rfbport", ...],
[/* 72 vars */]) = 0
The bad case failed at...
execve("/usr/local/turbovnc/1.2.1/bin/Xvnc",
["/usr/local/turbovnc/1.2.1/bin/Xv"..., ":1", "-desktop", "TurboVNC: labrat:1
(paulmc)", "-httpd", "-auth", "/home/paulmc/.Xauthority", "-dontdisconnect",
"-geometry", "1240x900", "-depth", "24", "-rfbwait", "120000", "-rfbauth",
"/home/paulmc/.vnc/passwd", ...], [/* 40 vars */] <unfinished ...>
One difference is the "-httpd" option. So I set the following in
turbovncserver.conf and it now works .
$enableHTTP = 0;
[paulmc@labrat ~]$ vncserver :1
Desktop 'TurboVNC: labrat:1 (paulmc)' started on display labrat:1
Starting applications specified in /home/paulmc/.vnc/xstartup.turbovnc
Log file is /home/paulmc/.vnc/labrat:1.log
I think there might be a bug in Xvnc parsing command options if -http is given?
Cheers,
Paul

Subject: Re: [TurboVNC-Users] Issues getting this to work on Centos 6.5
I use TurboVNC on CentOS 6.5 on a daily basis. From the error you're getting,
it seems like you might be trying to use a non-TurboVNC vncserver script with
TurboVNC's Xvnc.
