xrdp is not accessible with "X server -- no display in range is available" error

From rdp client, it is showing below error:












Checking on the log, this is the error:

$ sudo tail -f  /var/log/xrdp-sesman.log

Searching on the web, I stumbled upon a site. Below are the steps that I learned to solve the above issue from the site:
  1. Edit /etc/xrdp/sesmain.ini
  2. Change MaxSessions from 10 to 100 
    3. $ sudo diff -u {~,/etc/xrdp}/sesman.ini

 [Sessions]
 X11DisplayOffset=10

+MaxSessions=100
 KillDisconnected=0
 IdleTimeLimit=0

  3. Restart xrdp 
    $ sudo /etc/init.d/xrdp restart
Try to connect with your rdp client, it should work now.
