Error when connecting
I have setup a new server on CentOS 7.7 and defined a new connection to use
VNC. I have supplied the connection name, location: ROOT, Protocol: VNC.
In the Guacd section I have defined the hostname and port 5901. When I try
to connect I get an error.
Connection Error
An internal error has occurred within the Guacamole server and the
connection has been terminated. If the problem persists. please notify
your system administrator, or check your system logs. Reconnecting in x
seconds...
At the same time I ran-
#tail -f /var/log/messages
Nov 10 18:10:45 remote server: 18:10:45.589 [http-bio-8080-exec-5] ERROR
o.a.g.w.GuacamoleWebSocketTunnelEndpoint - Creation of WebSocket tunnel to
guacd failed: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused (Connection
refused)
Nov 10 18:10:45 remote server: 18:10:45.634 [http-bio-8080-exec-2] ERROR
o.a.g.s.GuacamoleHTTPTunnelServlet - HTTP tunnel request failed:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused (Connection refused)
I did confirm that guacd is running. I also confirmed I am able to connect
to VNC from my workstation (which is not the Guacamole Server) VNC works
normally from my workstation.
Any suggestions or hints for troubleshooting would be appreciated. Thank
you.

Glad you figured it out. I'll take the simple solutions!

Doh!!!! I am wearing egg all over my face and eating some humble pie. I
should have caught the fact that vnc service was not running on 5901. I'm
glad the fix was simple. Funny thing is that I have 11 vnc sessions defined
for other users and all of them were running EXCEPT the first one. I
thought I had set them all to enable. It's all connecting now. Problem
solved.

Yeah, that should be correct. Any firewall running on the system or
anything like that? Can you verify that the system is listening on that
port (ss -tnlp) and that there are no firewall rules that would block it?

OK, I checked my connection settings
I used the IP address not the hostname so there wouldn't be DNS issues. I
defined port 5901. The user markw runs vncserver@:1.service. So I think
that port number should be correct. I tried to connect one more time using
these settings. Here is my log.

These messages right here indicate that the system running guacd cannot
resolve or locate the VNC server you're trying to connect to. In
particular, the "getaddrinfo (Name or service not known)" indicates that
you're trying to connect with a hostname, but the system cannot resolve
that name to an IP address. So, either the hostname is invalid (mistyped,
wrong, etc.), or DNS is not working properly on the system where guacd is
running.

Ok, I fixed the connection setting as directed. You were right on. Now I
get a different error so at least we're making progress!

So why can't it connect to VNC server? I can connect from my desktop, just
not the Guacamole server itself.

The hostname and port within the "guacd" section are for the hostname and
port of guacd, not the hostname and port of the VNC server. Unless you need
to use a guacd instance specific to that connection (unlikely), you should
leave these fields blank. The hostname and port of the VNC server should
instead be specified within the "parameters" section.
