won't start vncserver

[Kevin Brouelette]

I have vnc config'd and running on a RH 5.1 drive and I'm working on a
bigger harddrive with RH 5.2 and  vnc will view but not work as server.
I have the class files in the  proper directory and have vncserver in my
'path' and when I type 'vncserver',
I get a response of  "new 'X' desktop is linuxbox:1" which is correct
'but' I have
no Xvnc running when I 'ps aux'.   I get the 'failed to connect to
server error' when I try to view linuxbox:1   All tcp/ip is running
fine.

Perl is in the proper directory as well.

When I 'vncserver -kill :1' I get the following:

killing Xvnc process ID 969    <---obviously this changes the # each
time I kill
kill 969: no such process

I went back and checked ps aux after starting the server and there was
no 969 running at all.  Please help.  Btw...  I'm 5 months new to Linux
so be nice  :)

Thanks
