Help upgrading Minimal install to Desktop

Post by usao » 2015/02/26 21:13:46

Im trying to convert a Minimal install on a server class machine to a Desktop/xrdp install.
I ran the following, and rebooted, but getting an error on both the console and rdp sessions.

Code: Select all

yum groupinstall "X Window System"
yum groupinstall "Desktop"
rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.6/extras/x86_64/Packages/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
yum install -y xrdp
chkconfig --levels 5 xrdp on
service xrdp start
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 3389 -j ACCEPT
service iptables save
service iptables restart

You opened the wrong ports.
Why are you connecting to localhost?

Couldn't find a decent tutorial, so I used the following reference which is where I got the port number.

I have no idea why it's trying to use localhost for the xrdp session, again, the detailed list of steps is in the op.
