On Linux Server as root
Install Software using yum repository
yum install vnc-serveryum -y install libXfont
yum install xterm
yum install xorg
Change a File & Add oracle and Port
vi /etc/sysconfig/vncserversVNCSERVERS="1:oracle"
VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 800x600"
Now Change the
Password for ONC user
sudo su - oraclevncpasswd
set password= oracle
As root Start the
service
chkconfig --list | grep -i vnc
service vncserver stopservice vncserver start
As root Start the
service
maybe stop iptablesservice iptables stop
Now Connect to the
Box using VNC Client
Download a vnc client such as VNC-Viewer-5.2.3-Windows-32bit ( yes
it is 32 on 64bit box)
Q: How can I run
multiple VNC server sessions on the same server at the same time by different
users?
Ans:
Open the main config file and add all the users along with any of the id as shown below. So that the user will logon using that ID using vnc client.
# vi /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
VNCSERVERS="2:root 4:deepak "
Once done save the file and assign a vnc pwd to each user manually by logging into their account
NOTE: Make sure you login to the users account for assigning them password or else the vncserver services would not run properly for all the users
# su - deepak
$ vncpasswd
Password: [Give the password for VNC]
Verify: [Retype the password for VNC]
Restart the vncserver services
# service vncserver restart
Shutting down VNC server: 2:root 4:deepak [ OK ]
Starting VNC server: 2:root
New 'server.example.com:2 (root)' desktop is server.example.com:2
Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /root/.vnc/server.example.com:2.log
4:deepak
New 'server.example.com:4 (deepak)' desktop is server.example.com:4
Starting applications specified in /home/deepak/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/deepak/.vnc/server.example.com:4.log
[ OK ]
Now you can login to the Linux machine using VNC viewer client using the below syntax
192.168.0.100:2 ==> for user root
192.168.0.100:4 ==> for user deepak
You can also login to the server using your browser. Type the following links for the same
http://server-ip:5802 ==> for user root
http://server-ip:5804 ==> for user deepak
NOTE:
As you can see the port no. when you are trying to access your machine through the browser. It defines the ID of the user which you have assigned in the configuration file.
For example:
2:root - 5802
4:deepak - 5804
Ans:
Open the main config file and add all the users along with any of the id as shown below. So that the user will logon using that ID using vnc client.
# vi /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
VNCSERVERS="2:root 4:deepak "
Once done save the file and assign a vnc pwd to each user manually by logging into their account
NOTE: Make sure you login to the users account for assigning them password or else the vncserver services would not run properly for all the users
# su - deepak
$ vncpasswd
Password: [Give the password for VNC]
Verify: [Retype the password for VNC]
Restart the vncserver services
# service vncserver restart
Shutting down VNC server: 2:root 4:deepak [ OK ]
Starting VNC server: 2:root
New 'server.example.com:2 (root)' desktop is server.example.com:2
Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /root/.vnc/server.example.com:2.log
4:deepak
New 'server.example.com:4 (deepak)' desktop is server.example.com:4
Starting applications specified in /home/deepak/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/deepak/.vnc/server.example.com:4.log
[ OK ]
Now you can login to the Linux machine using VNC viewer client using the below syntax
