VNCserver connection problem (10061)

[rneve]

I have problems connection from a windows-client to the VNC server (AIX).
On AIX I have done the following:
- Install VNC, rpm vnc-3.3.3r2-3
- edit the vncserver script, uncommented the line:
$cmd .= " -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/";
- When I start the vncserver I get the following messages:
root@zlmota(/home/root)# vncserver

New 'X' desktop is zlmota:1

Starting applications specified in /home/root/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/root/.vnc/zlmota:1.log

- The logging looks like:
root@zlmota(/home/root)# cat /home/root/.vnc/zlmota:1.log
03/08/06 09:34:27 Xvnc version 3.3.3r2

xrdb: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
1356-613 xrdb: can't open file '/home/root/.Xresources'

When I try to connect from the windows client I get the errormessage:
unable to connect to host: Connection refused (10061)

What did I do wrong.

Thanks in advance

I think it is either a library missing issue or path setting!

Could you verify that this file '/home/root/.Xresources' is there and accessible by the application?

Could you post the output of

echo $PATH

Here is the requisted output:

root@zlmota(/home/root)# ls -l /home/root/.Xresources
ls: 0653-341 The file /home/root/.Xresources does not exist.
root@zlmota(/home/root)# echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java14/jre/bin:/usr/java14/bin:/usr/local/bin


De file .Xresources is missing... how can I create it???

hi

do you use ssh ?

 

[khalidaaa]

I'm not really familiar with this apps but looking at the log you have it seems that it is looking for some kind of library or something any way i found this link, i hope it is useful

Yes openssh is installed... That is working fine..

Because one way , you can use VNC from your PC is to tunnel it via ssh on port 22 and use vncviewer on your PC
If you connect via a firewall and use ssh successfully vnc connection will work by tunnelling onto ssh port 22
if you want to try that way we can tell you otherwise it may be worth pursuing the other suggestions
