Ah but you can...
You can do this in a config file I did it...
vi /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
Add the following line
httpport=port
Then modify /etc/init.d/vncserver
"su ${USER} -c \"cd ~${USER} && [ -f .vnc/passwd ] && vncserver :${display%%:*} -httpport ${httpport}\""
OK... a 2 step process.... but the cat is skinned in either way.
However another way to change the httpport is to change the display number. Such as if vncserver is on screen 2 then you would access it via the web at:
Yes, but that doesn't give you an arbitrary port. It gives you default+display. I'm guessing the OP was searching for arbitrary.
http://vncserver:5802
If you are on display 6
http://vncserver:5806
These are the 580x are the standard port numbers. I don't know if there is a max on the amount of VNC Servers I would assume it is 9 as on Display 0 is your local X Windows Server

man Xvnc
Thanks. The Xvnc man page references a file which doesn't
exist on my
system, inetd.conf. xinetd.conf exists but it doesn't contain anything pointing to Xvnc nor does my etc/xinetd.d directory.
So, exactly how is the vnc server started after using the
interface to
change remote desktop preferences, 'sharing, allow other
users to view
your desktop, allow other users to control your desktop'
etc.? IE, if
there's some file somewhere containing a line which is
running 'Xvnc'
with some parameters, what file is that?
I checked the Redhat documentation and didn't find anything
about this.
Well...one way to do this is to edit the /etc/init.d/vncserver file.
In the "start" subroutine exit the line:
"su ${USER} -c \"cd ~${USER} && [ -f .vnc/passwd ] && vncserver :${display%%:*}\""
to be:
"su ${USER} -c \"cd ~${USER} && [ -f .vnc/passwd ] && vncserver -httpport 6900 :${display%%:*}\""
Seems as if there should be a way to specify this in a config file...and yes I assumed the Xvnc man page would have had it. :-)
