Hello i have amahi installed on fedora 19 and i use vnc and it works fine apart from being a little slow. On my desktop i use cinnamon but when vnc launches its gnome 3 i believe, so how can i change it to launch cinnamon or gnome classic.

i actually looked at the page that u linked so

To then make it use Cinnamon, all you have to do is create an executable bash script file named ~/.Xclients that contains the two lines

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/cinnamon-session

where do i put the script and does it auto execute on reboots or would i have to run it before running vnc?
or remove the vnc app and install tigervnc?
sorry i am a noob but love amahi sofar.

Check out the wiki VNC Server Installation guidance.

No need to uninstall VNC. It uses tigervnc already.

The app Amahi Web Apps Proxy needs work before it can be released. It is currently broken in Fedora 19.

Unfortunately I cannot give you an estimate as to when it will be worked. We have quite a list of things going on right now.

Have you considered following the hosting a website tutorial in the wiki? There are some options there to expose multiple apps outside your network.
