Error Text from refused connection to a remote server: Connection refused: connect


Here are some things to check if you have trouble connecting to a StreamBase server on a remote machine.
 
  • Ensure that the login is valid on the remote machine.
     
  • Ensure that the remote login has privileges to write files.
     
  • Check for firewalls that block traffic (including hardware firewalls, and software firewalls on Linux and Windows)
     
  • Check that StreamBase is installed on the remote machine, and that all configuration parameters are correct (including PATH and JAVA_HOME).
     
  • Check that the version of StreamBase on the remote machine is the same as the version of Studio (or the client) on the local machine.
     
  • Try using telnet to connect into the machine.
     
  • Check to ensure that the target port is not being used by another program.
     
  • Check the server connection format: the format is:
    sb://foo.domain.com:port or sb://a.b.c.d:port ----- where a.b.c.d is an IP address
