<p>I'm trying to put some code from my repo using Openshift online.
My build compiles fine, but the deployment is failing:</p>

<pre><code>error: update acceptor rejected nodejs-mongo-persistent-7: pods for rc "nodejs-mongo-persistent-7" took longer than 600 seconds to become ready
</code></pre>

<p>Looking at the event monitor, I see these errors:</p>

<pre><code>Liveness probe failed: Get http://10.129.127.123:8080/pagecount: dial tcp 10.129.127.123:8080: getsockopt: connection refused
Readiness probe failed: Get http://10.129.127.123:8080/pagecount: dial tcp 10.129.127.123:8080: getsockopt: connection refused
</code></pre>

<p>This error happens about 50 times until everything times out and my pod is killed.</p>

<p>I'm not really a server guy, and have never worked with the environment before, so most help resources I just don't understand.</p>

<p>Here's a screen cap of the event log:

<p>First of all your Pod has the expose the ports the Liveness and Readiness probes need this is done in the Pod configuration.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Liveness probes are executed by the kubelet, so all requests are made in the kubelet network namespace.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Be sure not to run the probes on service ports but the local ports.</p>
