Getting tigervnc to work

Hi everyone, I can't seem to get tigervnc to work. Since I'm using DWM and thus I have no desktop environment I used x0vncserver but when I run it (with the -rfbauth option) it gives me this output:

 
x0vncserver -rfbauth /home/alex/.vnc/passwd

Tue Jan 19 14:23:27 2021
 Geometry:    Desktop geometry is set to 1920x1080+0+0
 XDesktop:    Using evdev codemap
 XDesktop:
 XDesktop:    XTest extension present - version 2.2
 XDesktop:    RANDR extension not present
 XDesktop:    Will not be able to handle session resize
 Main:        failed to bind socket: Address already in use (98)

What do I do? Thanks for the help!

Yeah I already checked the wiki, but it doesn't mention my issue

It means that on the default port (5900) you already have something running (most likely another VNC server). To find the culprit

sudo ss -tunapl | grep 5900
