Hi,

But should I add a VNC service configuration file for any other user? thanks Phil.

Thanks for this! I have changed the /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@\:1.service specifying the user, group and workdir, and also removed the runuser so now systemd cares of it and there is no PID file not owned by root error. Here it is:

[Unit]
Description=Remote desktop service (VNC)
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
User=my_user
Group=my_user
WorkingDirectory=/home/my_user
ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i > /dev/null 2>&1 || :'
ExecStart=/usr/bin/vncserver %i -geometry 1280x1024
PIDFile=/home/my_user/.vnc/%H%i.pid
ExecStop=/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i > /dev/null 2>&1 || :'

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I have VNC up and running on CentOS 7 but I can't seem to change the existing VNC password. When I use the command vncpasswd to change the password I still need to use the old password to connect using VNCVIEWER on my win10 laptop to connect on Centos7 pc.

I execute the command sudo yum install tiger-vnc server, as listed at the top of this column, it goes out to a bad destination to find the file. I can manually type in the destination http://mirror.keystealth.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/tigervnc-server-1.8.0-21.el7.x86_64.rpm and get to the file, even download the file to the PC and execute it. I try to install the program (the other option when downloading) and I get a file not supported error. I have been at this for three days now and I'm about to throw the PC out the window. I need access to this server from a remote location.
