cant connect to http://hostname:5901

[Christopher Myers]

I just downloaded and installed the latest version of VNC on my RH 8 system

I started the vnc server and set a password.
I opened a browser and tried to connect to http://etes02:5800 5900 5901
everything i could think of. with no luck

when I open the browser on the system vnc server is running on and go to
http://hostname:5901/
the browser shows
RFB 003.003

when i look at /root/.vnc/etes02:1.log al it says is
got connection from client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
rfbProccessClientProtocolVersion: Not a valid RFB Client
Client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is gone
Statistics:

I also see the same thing when I try and connect from a remote client
Thoughts?

That is because you are trying to connect to the RFB port.
As explained in the documentation
(http://www.realvnc.com/javavncviewer.html) if you have the built in HTTP
server running it will be on port 5800+display number. Since you have the
vncserver running on display :1, you would connect to
"http://hostname:5801". If that doesn't work, check your firewall
settings.
