Ruby - Connection refused - connect(2) (Errno::ECONNREFUSED)

Question

I am having issue running tests in different test environments (ip address or domain name) via terminal.

I am running this below to get error connection refused error

./testkit -s http://192.16.0.1

Error code shown was:

I tried to find for possible solution but couldn't find it.

Any help will be appreciated.

If you are using Solr (sunspot), start solr instance first.

I also encountered this error once.
