I am trying to setup a centos 7.1 vncserver
I cannot believe they went from a relatively easy process in 6 to the
"crazyness" that is 7.
I did the following:
yum install tigervnc-server
cp /lib/systemd/system/vncserver at .service
/etc/systemd/system
systemctl daemon-reload
edit /etc/systemd.system/vncserver at .service and replace
<USER> with myuser
su - myuser run vncpassword to set password
systemctl enable vncserver at .
Says its enabled:
systemctl list-unit-files | grep vnc
vncserver at .service enabled
using another machine to connect gives error about nothing there.
netstat -tuln | grep 5900
gives nothing.
What did I miss?
Thanks,
Jerry

See the Quick HowTo line in the service unit file regards Ulf

Like /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@:4.service to start a vncserver on port 5904. Then use `systemctl start vncserver@:4' to start that VNC server. Remember to edit the /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@:4.service file's <USER> as you did before. Emmett

How do I get port 5900 ? Thanks, jerry
