I've setup a tiger-vnc server on a centos 7 host in my home lab and recently had a power outage. I tried connecting to the vnc server as usual and got a "connection refused" error message. I ssh'd into the server and tried to restart the daemon and got these errors. Thanks in advance! :)

[root@centos-desktop ~]# systemctl status vncserver@:1

  • There's probably a ulimit to increase
