Hi Robert
apparently vncserver writes its PID file somewhere else than into
/home/root/.vnc/homebase.home.htt:3.pid, where systemd expects it to be.
Go into /lib/systemd/system/vncserver.service and correct the PID file
location there, so that it matches the location where vncserver writes
its PID file.
And then do a
systemctl deamon-reload
systemctl start vncserver
and then after the SECOND start of vncserver (not the first) it will work.

Actually it is running:

Why 5901 and 2 are listening, I don't know...
when I vnc to my server I get that basic nasty blank X11 screen. I
modified /root/.vnc/xstartup with:
exec /bin/sh /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc
But restarting vncserver@:3 does not seem to get the vnc client to get
my xfce desktop, only the blank x11 desktop.
Oh and restart gives the same errors as start does, but the pids are there:
# ls .vnc/
homebase.home.htt:1.log homebase.home.htt:2.pid passwd
homebase.home.htt:1.pid homebase.home.htt:3.log xstartup
homebase.home.htt:2.log homebase.home.htt:3.pid
I see:
cat .vnc/homebase.home.htt\:1.log

2.log has different errors.
3.log actually has connection information (as I am connecting to 5903?)
thanks

OK, first time configuring vncserver on Centos7. I have read through
a bunch of old messages here on vncserver and thought I had it.
Obviously not.
1) cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service
/etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service
2) vi /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service
I changed <USER> in both places to root
3) systemctl daemon-reload
4) systemctl enable vncserver@:3.service
5) vncpasswd
To create /root/.vnc/passwd
6) systemctl start vncserver@:3.service
