noVNC with ultravnc repeater

[Abel Arteaga]

Hi all

I am trying to use noVNC in a project in conjunction with https://code.google.com/p/uvncrepeater/ (UltraVNC Repeater).
I already have running the repeater and everything works just fine using the server (as a windows service and as a single click application) and client as a single click application.

However I would like to access my computers from a web-based client, it is when noVNC comes into the picture, I have setup websockify and I am using the launch.sh script to do so.
I am using CentOS on a VPS server and executing launch.sh in this way:

. /utils/launch.sh --listen 6080 --vnc my_public_ip:5901 --web /home/sgni/public_html/soporte/inc/gui/noVNC/ > /home/sgni/websockify.log 2>&1

and the log says it is running.


Starting webserver and WebSockets proxy on port 6080
WebSocket server settings:
  - Listen on :6080
  - Flash security policy server
  - Web server. Web root: /home/sgni/public_html/soporte/inc/gui/noVNC
  - No SSL/TLS support (no cert file)
  - proxying from :6080 to XX.XX.XX.XX:5901
Press Ctrl-C to exit


WARNING: no 'numpy' module, HyBi protocol will be slower

but when I try to connect with a browser to see any VNC server connected to the repeater I see this output in the websockify.log

and this output on the repeater log.

UltraVnc Thu Oct 23 19:40:58 2014 > acceptConnection(): openConnectionToVncServer() failed

btw.. I do see some strange output like in this line.
UltraVnc Thu Oct 23 19:40:58 2014 > openConnectionToVncServer(): connecting to 0.0.39.21:5900
I dont know about that IP and Port, since I am using 5901.

I am using the repater to allow connection in both mode 1 and 2.

Any Idea about what could be the cause of this ?

Regards.

No one having this error ?
and or someone who might know what is causing it.

I've found the error..

in the RepeaterID Field, you need to enter the ID you want to connect to in the following format.

ID:111111 <- in example, ID: must be the first characters.

that worked in my case.
