Forum OpenACS Development: Re: the connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost:8000

Hi Patricia,

did you look in the AOLserver error log? There is probably an error message in the log if your server didn't start up.

Brian

three things

take a look at your server's log file
/mysite/log/error.log

make sure everything is set up in the config file
/etc/config.tcl
port 80 instead if 8000

try to start with 80 instead of 8000, maybe it was just this litlle detail.
