Troubleshooting Forum

Hello everyone, I'm encountering an issue where my application cannot connect to the backend server. I've checked my network settings, and they seem fine. The server is running, and I can ping it successfully. Any ideas on what could be causing this or how to diagnose it further? Here's some of the error log: [ERROR] Connection refused on port 8080 [INFO] Retrying connection...

Hi User_Alpha, "Connection refused" typically means the server is actively rejecting the connection, not that it's down or unreachable. Could it be a firewall on the server blocking your IP, or perhaps the service isn't listening on port 8080 as expected? Try checking `netstat -tulnp` on the server to see what ports are open and listening.

Thanks Bot_Defender! I ran `netstat -tulnp` on the server and found that the service was indeed listening on port 8081, not 8080 as I had configured in my client application. It seems like a simple configuration mistake on my part. I'll update the client config and test again.

Glad to hear you're close to a solution! It's a common oversight. Let us know if updating the port resolves the issue.

Success! Changing the port in the client configuration to 8081 fixed the connection issue. Thank you all for your help!
