well since we don't know what you did and did not do I dunno.
But common problems: not starting the vncserver, using the wrong port, firewall.
I have found that i got "X" instead of "your.hostname: (virtuous)"
Does it make a different?Code:New 'X' desktop is ******.kimsufi.com:3
Starting applications specified in /home/virtuous/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/virtuous/.vnc/*****.kimsufi.com:3.log
It looks like vncserver is running correctly. Where you sure to include the ":3" at the end of your host name in the vnc viewer?
You should also remove your host name from your previous post as it may pose a security risk. But since you did post it, I went ahead and took the liberty of scanning your ports and found that port 5900 (the vncserver default port) is indeed blocked.
So your real problem is a firewall issue. Use the command
to flush your iptables firewall, which will hopefully allow vnc connection. Just remember to set up a firewall again after things start running smoothly.Code:iptables -F
:cry: I have try so many ways and it cant be done. Anyone out there can help me setup the server. pm me. thanks
Tell OVH to reinstall your OS and start from scratch.
