title: Connection Refused Error Java/Linux
body: <p>I'm trying to move an existing project over to a new (linux) server environment (note, I have no direct access to the code nor do I have any knowledge about the project in general - talk about a great start), upon starting the project I receive the following error: </p>

  <p>Now, I've opened the port in question to see whether there are any changes when I do so, alas, nothing happens.</p>
  
  <p>I'm sorry about this very vague level of information, but it's really all I have, I'll gladly provide what I can if you have any ideas what could be at fault here.</p>
  
  <p>Regards,</p>
