Failed to connect to localhost:5901 errno 111, connection refused

[Martine & Philippe vont à la mer Martineke]

hello
under debian, after an installation by copying from github, the proxy is ok, the vnc.html page works, but the connection to the VNC server (realVNC) is in failure for error 111, connection refused.
i did not have time to enter an identification and password, and i did not find in the preference button what to enter an identifier and password before launching the connection.
a connection with a traditional vnc client works.
thanks

well the listening port is in 5900.

when restarting, there is no more error on the terminal side, but the web page indicates connection failure...

Are you perhaps specifying port 5900 directly to noVNC? The port given
to noVNC needs to be the port of the proxy. And the port 5900 needs to
be given to the proxy instead.

Hello

i used ./utils/novnc_proxy --vnc localhost:5900

i got : proxying from 6080 to localhost:5900

and during connection : my client IP : Path 'websockify' connecting to localhost:5900

i saw a debug mode into vnc.html.

where is the file, or how to catch debug informations?

greetings

Sounds like it is almost there. Please change the port setting in
noVNC's GUI to 6080 and it should hopefully work just fine.

It is in the browser console log. Note that the browser might be
filtering debug messages per default.

We are progressing. It can now talk to the VNC server.

The issue is not HTTPS, no. Although that might give issues later on, so
it would be good to enable that.

Security type 262 is TLS encryption with Plain authentication.
Unfortunately, we don't support VNC's TLS extensions. You'll need to
configure your VNC server without that.

Ok

many thanks !
