How to configure vnc on RHEL 6.1?

Linux and Unix-Like Red Hat

i am first time using RHEL 6.1

i have to configure vnc on this server to access desktop remotely for this server.

i installed these rpm :

rpm -ivh VNC-Server-5.0.3-Linux-x64.rpm
rpm -ivh VNC-Viewer-5.0.3-Linux-x64.rpm

there is no directory /etc/sysconfig/vncserver in RHEL 6 as it was in RHEL 5.

please tell me how to proceed to configure vnc on this server ?

You would have to list the contents of those RPM's to see where it has placed the configuration files.

I'm not familiar with the packages you've installed, as I only tend to use TigerVNC, for which I can tell you the configuration file is /etc/sysconfig/vncservers , but for the package you've installed, you need to list its contents, as I said.

i dont know how to find list of RPM contents.

is there any difference in vnc , tigervnc , real vnc ?

If you don't know how something in a program works, the manual page is usually a good place to start learning :wink:

Features may vary between VNC servers, and they may be suited to specific tasks, but they all do essentially the same thing.

man rpm. We were talking about RPM!

So, for example:

# rpm -ql tigervnc-server
/etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver
/etc/sysconfig/vncservers
/usr/bin/Xvnc
/usr/bin/vncconfig
/usr/bin/vncpasswd
/usr/bin/vncserver
/usr/bin/x0vncserver
/usr/share/man/man1/Xvnc.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/vncconfig.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/vncpasswd.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/vncserver.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/x0vncserver.1.gz

rpm -ql vnc*
package vnc-server-4.1.2-14.el5_6.6.x86_64.rpm is not installed
