I'm trying to implement a TCP connection, everything works fine from the server's side but when I run the client program (from client computer) I get the following error:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

I tried changing the socket number in case it was in use but to no avail, does anyone know what is causing this error & how to fix it.
The Server Code:

This exception means that there is no service listening on the IP/port you are trying to connect to:
You are trying to connect to the wrong IP/Host or port.
You have not started your server.
Your server is not listening for connections.
On Windows servers, the listen backlog queue is full.
I would check:
Host name and port you're trying to connect to
The server side has managed to start listening correctly
There's no firewall blocking the connection
The simplest starting point is probably to try to connect manually from the client machine using telnet or Putty. If that succeeds, then the problem is in your client code. If it doesn't, you need to work out why it hasn't. Wireshark may help you on this front.
You have to connect your client socket to the remote ServerSocket. Instead of
Socket clientSocket = new Socket("localhost", 5000);
do
Socket clientSocket = new Socket(serverName, 5000);
The client must connect to serverName which should match the name or IP of the box on which your ServerSocket was instantiated (the name must be reachable from the client machine). BTW: It's not the name that is important, it's all about IP addresses...
I had the same problem, but running the Server before running the Client fixed it.
One point that I would like to add to the answers above is my experience-
"I hosted on my server on localhost and was trying to connect to it through an android emulator by specifying proper URL like http://localhost/my_api/login.php . And I was getting connection refused error"
Point to note - When I just went to browser on the PC and use the same URL (http://localhost/my_api/login.php) I was getting correct response
so the Problem in my case was the term localhost which I replaced with the IP for my server (as your server is hosted on your machine) which made it reachable from my emulator on the same PC.
To get IP for your local machine, you can use ipconfig command on cmd
you will get IPv4 something like 192.68.xx.yy
Voila ..that's your machine's IP where you have your server hosted.
use it then instead of localhost
http://192.168.72.66/my_api/login.php
Note - you won't be able to reach this private IP from any node outside this computer. (In case you need ,you can use Ngnix for that)
I had the same problem with Mqtt broker called vernemq.but solved it by adding the following.
$ sudo vmq-admin listener show
to show the list o allowed ips and ports for vernemq
$ sudo vmq-admin listener start port=1885 -a 0.0.0.0 --mountpoint /appname --nr_of_acceptors=10 --max_connections=20000
to add any ip and your new port. now u should be able to connect without any problem.
Hope it solves your problem.
Hope my experience may be useful to someone. I faced the problem with the same exception stack trace and I couldn't understand what the issue was. The Database server which I was trying to connect was running and the port was open and was accepting connections.
The issue was with internet connection. The internet connection that I was using was not allowed to connect to the corresponding server. When I changed the connection details, the issue got resolved.
In my case, I gave the socket the name of the server (in my case "raspberrypi"), and instead an IPv4 address made it, or to specify, IPv6 was broken (the name resolved to an IPv6)
In my case, I had to put a check mark near Expose daemon on tcp://localhost:2375 without TLS in docker setting (on the right side of the task bar, right click on docker, select setting)
i got this error because I closed ServerSocket inside a for loop that try to accept number of clients inside it (I did not finished accepting all clints)
so be careful where to close your Socket
I had same problem and the problem was that I was not closing socket object.After using socket.close(); problem solved.
This code works for me.
ClientDemo.java
public class ClientDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) throws UnknownHostException,

Socket socket = new Socket("127.0.0.1", 55286);
OutputStreamWriter os = new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream());
os.write("Santosh Karna");
os.flush();
socket.close();
}
}
and
ServerDemo.java
public class ServerDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
System.out.println("server is started");
ServerSocket serverSocket= new ServerSocket(55286);
System.out.println("server is waiting");
Socket socket=serverSocket.accept();
System.out.println("Client connected");
BufferedReader reader=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
String str=reader.readLine();
System.out.println("Client data: "+str);
socket.close();
serverSocket.close();
}
}
I changed my DNS network and it fixed the problem
You probably didn't initialize the server or client is trying to connect to wrong ip/port.
Change local host to your ip address
localhost
//to you local ip
192.168.xxxx
I saw the same error message ""java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused" in SQuirreLSQL when it was trying to connect to a postgresql database through an ssh tunnel.
Example of opening tunel:
Example of error in Squirrel with Postgresql:
It was trying to connect to the wrong port. After entering the correct port, the process execution was successful.
See more options to fix this error at: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6876306/5857023
In my case, with server written in c# and client written in Java, I resolved it by specifying hostname as 'localhost' in the server, and '[::1]' in the client. I don't know why that is, but specifying 'localhost' in the client did not work.
Supposedly these are synonyms in many ways, but apparently, not not a 100% match. Hope it helps someone avoid a headache.
For those who are experiencing the same problem and use Spring framework, I would suggest to check an http connection provider configuration. I mean RestTemplate, WebClient, etc.
In my case there was a problem with configured RestTemplate (it's just an example):
public RestTemplate localRestTemplate() {
Proxy proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress("localhost", <some port>));
SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory clientHttpReq = new SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory();
clientHttpReq.setProxy(proxy);
return new RestTemplate(clientHttpReq);
}
I just simplified configuration to:
public RestTemplate restTemplate() {
return new RestTemplate(new SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory());
}
And it started to work properly.
There is a service called MySQL80 that should be running to connect to the database
for windows you can access it by searching for services than look for MySQL80 service and make sure it is running
It could be that there is a previous instance of the client still running and listening on port 5000.

I tried changing the socket number in case it was in use but to no avail, does anyone know what is causing this error & how to fix it.
The Server Code:

This exception means that there is no service listening on the IP/port you are trying to connect to:
You are trying to connect to the wrong IP/Host or port.
You have not started your server.
Your server is not listening for connections.
On Windows servers, the listen backlog queue is full.
I would check:
Host name and port you're trying to connect to
The server side has managed to start listening correctly
There's no firewall blocking the connection
The simplest starting point is probably to try to connect manually from the client machine using telnet or Putty. If that succeeds, then the problem is in your client code. If it doesn't, you need to work out why it hasn't. Wireshark may help you on this front.
You have to connect your client socket to the remote ServerSocket. Instead of
Socket clientSocket = new Socket("localhost", 5000);
do
Socket clientSocket = new Socket(serverName, 5000);
The client must connect to serverName which should match the name or IP of the box on which your ServerSocket was instantiated (the name must be reachable from the client machine). BTW: It's not the name that is important, it's all about IP addresses...
I had the same problem, but running the Server before running the Client fixed it.
One point that I would like to add to the answers above is my experience-
"I hosted on my server on localhost and was trying to connect to it through an android emulator by specifying proper URL like http://localhost/my_api/login.php . And I was getting connection refused error"
Point to note - When I just went to browser on the PC and use the same URL (http://localhost/my_api/login.php) I was getting correct response
so the Problem in my case was the term localhost which I replaced with the IP for my server (as your server is hosted on your machine) which made it reachable from my emulator on the same PC.
To get IP for your local machine, you can use ipconfig command on cmd
you will get IPv4 something like 192.68.xx.yy
Voila ..that's your machine's IP where you have your server hosted.
use it then instead of localhost
http://192.168.72.66/my_api/login.php
Note - you won't be able to reach this private IP from any node outside this computer. (In case you need ,you can use Ngnix for that)
I had the same problem with Mqtt broker called vernemq.but solved it by adding the following.
$ sudo vmq-admin listener show
to show the list o allowed ips and ports for vernemq
$ sudo vmq-admin listener start port=1885 -a 0.0.0.0 --mountpoint /appname --nr_of_acceptors=10 --max_connections=20000
to add any ip and your new port. now u should be able to connect without any problem.
Hope it solves your problem.
Hope my experience may be useful to someone. I faced the problem with the same exception stack trace and I couldn't understand what the issue was. The Database server which I was trying to connect was running and the port was open and was accepting connections.
The issue was with internet connection. The internet connection that I was using was not allowed to connect to the corresponding server. When I changed the connection details, the issue got resolved.
In my case, I gave the socket the name of the server (in my case "raspberrypi"), and instead an IPv4 address made it, or to specify, IPv6 was broken (the name resolved to an IPv6)
In my case, I had to put a check mark near Expose daemon on tcp://localhost:2375 without TLS in docker setting (on the right side of the task bar, right click on docker, select setting)
i got this error because I closed ServerSocket inside a for loop that try to accept number of clients inside it (I did not finished accepting all clints)
so be careful where to close your Socket
I had same problem and the problem was that I was not closing socket object.After using socket.close(); problem solved.
This code works for me.
ClientDemo.java
public class ClientDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) throws UnknownHostException,
IOException {
Socket socket = new Socket("127.0.0.1", 55286);
OutputStreamWriter os = new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream());
os.write("Santosh Karna");
os.flush();
socket.close();
}
}
and
ServerDemo.java
public class ServerDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
System.out.println("server is started");
ServerSocket serverSocket= new ServerSocket(55286);
System.out.println("server is waiting");
Socket socket=serverSocket.accept();
System.out.println("Client connected");
BufferedReader reader=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
String str=reader.readLine();
System.out.println("Client data: "+str);
socket.close();
serverSocket.close();
}
}
I changed my DNS network and it fixed the problem
You probably didn't initialize the server or client is trying to connect to wrong ip/port.
Change local host to your ip address
localhost
//to you local ip
192.168.xxxx
I saw the same error message ""java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused" in SQuirreLSQL when it was trying to connect to a postgresql database through an ssh tunnel.
Example of opening tunel:
Example of error in Squirrel with Postgresql:
It was trying to connect to the wrong port. After entering the correct port, the process execution was successful.

In my case, with server written in c# and client written in Java, I resolved it by specifying hostname as 'localhost' in the server, and '[::1]' in the client. I don't know why that is, but specifying 'localhost' in the client did not work.
Supposedly these are synonyms in many ways, but apparently, not not a 100% match. Hope it helps someone avoid a headache.
For those who are experiencing the same problem and use Spring framework, I would suggest to check an http connection provider configuration. I mean RestTemplate, WebClient, etc.
In my case there was a problem with configured RestTemplate (it's just an example):
public RestTemplate localRestTemplate() {
Proxy proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress("localhost", <some port>));
SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory clientHttpReq = new SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory();
clientHttpReq.setProxy(proxy);
return new RestTemplate(clientHttpReq);
}
I just simplified configuration to:
public RestTemplate restTemplate() {
return new RestTemplate(new SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory());
}
And it started to work properly.
There is a service called MySQL80 that should be running to connect to the database
for windows you can access it by searching for services than look for MySQL80 service and make sure it is running
It could be that there is a previous instance of the client still running and listening on port 5000.

I have a server side application that is going to serve an Android application.
The server side application code has a java.net.ServerSocket in it and when i run below line in command line i can receive reaction on debug mode in Eclipse.
i can find java.net.ServerSocket through true address and true port with line:
nc 0.0.0.0 8650
----EDIT-----
I change a line of code and then try below line
nc 127.0.0.1 8650
----EDIT------
nc still can achieve to have reaction from debug.
I think i can find the socket because i get reaction on Eclipse Debug(Do you think am i right too?).
But to avoid complication, i do not paste server side code here.
Also i have some client code that i try to connect server socket through some address and port:
public static int port = 8650;
public static String httpProtocol = "http://";
public static String performRequest(String str) throws IOException {
InetAddress serverAdr = null;
//EDITED CODE BEGIN
serverAdr=Inet4Address.getLocalHost();
//EDITED CODE END
Socket socket = null;
String response = null;
try {
socket = new Socket(serverAdr,port);
//socket = new Socket(serverAdr,port);//tried both this and above line
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket
.getInputStream()));
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(
socket.getOutputStream()));
out.write(str + "\n");
out.flush();
response = in.readLine();
if (response == null) {
throw new IOException("no response recieved");
}
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (socket != null) {
socket.close();
}
}
return response;
}
By running above code, a java.net.Socket can not be created,
and i get exception
java.net.ConnectException: failed to connect to localhost/127.0.0.1 (port 8650): connect failed: ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)
Where might the mistake be?
I can only guess i provide the same address and the same port with nc arguments and hope the java.net.Socket to become generated.
EDIT
Android device is a physical device and connected to host machine with USB.
I am on Ubuntu and i think i do not have a firewall.
I controlled by GUFW and firewall status is off.
You cannot connect to IP address 0.0.0.0 because it is not a valid address. From IP 0.0.0.0 on wikipedia In the Internet Protocol version 4 the address 0.0.0.0 is a non-routable meta-address used to designate an invalid, unknown or non applicable target.
By convention, it can be used to say any interface on localhost.
