Like /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@:4.service to start a vncserver on port 5904. Then use `systemctl start vncserver@:4' to start that VNC server.

Re: [CentOS] vncserver on CentOS 7
You should: cp /lib/systemd/system/vncserver at .service http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@:#.service Where # is the vnc port 590# to open. Like /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@:4.service to start a vncserver on port 5904. Then use `systemctl start vncserver@:4' to start that VNC server. Remember to edit the /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@:4.service file's USER as you did before. Emmett OK - I redid and used the name vncserver@:0.service Still not work - I then used 4 as in your example and it worked. How do I get port 5900 ?

I've never used 0. You could add -rfbport 5900 to the vncserver parameters, or explicitly set the display value by replacing any %1 in the .service file with the display number preceded by a colon. e.g., ':0'. Note that if you are hosting any kvm VMs, a running vm might be grabbing the 5900 port. Which could explain why the :0 file name didn't work.
