If you're getting this error while trying to set up thessh tunnel, it's probably because you're setting up the tunnel on the machine running VNC instead of another machine (where the VNC client is).

The error basicaly means that the port 5901 is already in use on the machine you're trying to setup a tunnel. You can try changing the port, for example to port 5902, like this:

ssh -L 5902:127.0.0.1:5901 -N -f -l username serverIP

You can try to connect to VNC without the tunnel as well, to test if your configuration works.
