Configuring VNC connection Oracle Linux 7.1 64 bit

4joey1Aug 25 2015 — edited Aug 30 2015

I have installed Oracle Enterprise Linux 7.1 64 bit  and I am trying to configure a VNC connections

I have tried both options in webpage https://oracle-base.com/articles/linux/configuring-vnc-server-on-linux

I have installed the following vnc packages

libvncserver-0.9.9-9.el7_0.1.x86_64

tigervnc-server-minimal-1.2.80-0.30.20130314svn5065.el7.x86_64

tigervnc-license-1.2.80-0.30.20130314svn5065.el7.noarch

gtk-vnc2-0.5.2-7.el7.x86_64

tigervnc-server-1.2.80-0.30.20130314svn5065.el7.x86_64

gvnc-0.5.2-7.el7.x86_64

For option 1 when when I run as below,errors appears

#chkconfig vncserver on

error reading information on service vncserver: No such file or directory

# service vncserver start

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start  vncserver.service

Failed to issue method call: Unit vncserver.service failed to load: No such file      

Once this failed I tried option 2 and errors are as below

# systemctl start vncserver@:3.service

Job for vncserver@:3.service failed. See 'systemctl status vncserver@:3.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

#systemctl status vncserver@:3.service
