Not old hat to me. I just got a linux box connected to my router &
am also running Vnc through it. Although you can start a vncserver
with no arguments ("vncserver"), this actually is defaulting to the
command "vncserver :0". Which means it starts a server on port 5900.
I run the command "vncserver :13" which starts the server on port
5913.
The question is, are you running a firewall on your linux box? If so,
you need to allow access to whatever port you are running the vnc
server on.
Is your apache server actually running? You should be able to go to a
terminal window as root and type "httpd status" to find out it if it
is running or not. If it isn't , try "httpd restart" to start it.
I am only a linux newbie so probably you will get a lot better replies
than mine. All de best.
