Question

I downloaded Tomcat Deployer so i could deploy remotely to my tomcat server, when insert all the correct details it ask for such as:

• Manager URL
• Username/Password
• URL of sync App

when i try to deploy i keep getting this error:

Failed to deploy: com.caucho.hessian.client.HessianRuntimeException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
Projecct [HFJSe] deploy completed.

And nothing is deployed.

If there anything i need to do on my Tomcat server?

• That if there is a configuation file, that the port is configured appropriately

• The target server has that port open to accepting connections

• Your username and password is correct

• If your "remote" server is on the same local machine, use your loopback address (ie localhost
