Hosting-ie help.

I open my VNC and put in the appropriate info... and no connection.

do I need to use a port other than the standard 5901 or are there steps that im missing? Or is there an online control panel?

I have Raptor 3

Remote Desktop Control is your friend, google to find a host of ways of using it, it is dead easy, RDC is the short name, just find the app that suits you best, the old MS RDC is what I use:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925876

You need to then install firefox & utorrent and it is a PC within a PC :)

And iirc - you need to enable some network options and off you go.

linux

edit: i can ftp into the machine,but not vnc

pmed.
you can use web connection.I sent you details

you need to install vnc server first.

Follow the guide here and you will be good to go:

yup, the guide will answer all your questions

yeah,ive set up leeware a billion times

got everything installed, entered vncserver: 1 into terminal

cannot connect via VNC


anyone ever have similar problem?

Edit:the vncserver log:

06/09/07 21:48:05 Desktop name 'X' (vxxxxxxxxxxxx:1)
06/09/07 21:48:05 Protocol version supported 3.3
06/09/07 21:48:05 Listening for VNC connections on TCP port 5901
failed to set default font path ''
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'

Which Linux distribution did you select for your server ?, It sounds like the xserver isn't configured correctly ? without the xorg server running the vncserver cannot run either, but a simple way to check is to start an ssh session and type in the command startx, if the command is not found then the xorg server has not been installed, it is just a basic commandline installation of the operating system.

Yep, but as you will read above... I have a Linux box.

well in case anyone ever has this problem... here was my solution:

Xorg was installed on this VPS causing VNC to not work. I had to add repositories to the sources list of /etc/apt/

namely :
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free
and
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free

then do an apt-get update

then install xorg with apt-get install xserver-xorg-core xorg.


Thanks to Artemis for the hint

I suspected it was a Debian Sarge install you had on your server, I had the same problem configuring a Vectoral Server for a friend, and discovered that xorg wasn't configured on that distribution too,I also had a lot of fun getting Wine to act normally under Sarge, but got there eventually (I had to tell wine to make its virtual drive). After doing this quite a bit myself I definitely recommend Fedora Core over Debian for use on a seedbox server, it takes alot more knowledge to get a Deb based server running correctly .

Whoops, i can read, honestly *blushes*

Glad you figured it out

Yes you need Debian I suppose

If still no success ask them to install VNC for you

if Server is Virtuozzo based ( the ones from rabtor )
if it is from Rabtor + then they are VMware based as far i've notice and they work just perfect you just need Debian and it will fly :)
I had similar problem long times a go :)

chears

when i try to install xorg i get this : Read error - read (21 Is a directory)
Reading package lists...
it says this no mater what i try what the hell am i doing wrong
