No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

I have opened the Logs and I saw the same error repeating all the time: What is this error and which process is causing it. Stacktrace is incomplete

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

Hi,

Most probably the Store URL is incorrect. Go to Configuration -> Stores and check it.

I changed it. That error went away but I get now
"Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Websites\MySite\test.mysite.com\scheduletask\runtask'."

Hi,

It seems that the Store URL is not correct again. It should not point to a physical local path, but a URL like this: http://localhost:YOUR_PORT/ ( or you can try with "http://test.mysite.com" ).

Thanks again. It works now but I get:

The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

Found the problem in the last issue. Had enabled the Windows authentication in IIS for some testing I was done and the keep alive task was failing.

Thanks for your support

This error is a network-related error occurred while establishing a connection to the Server. It means that the error is occurring because there is no server listening at the hostname and port you assigned. It literally means that the machine exists but that it has no services listening on the specified port .

Generally, it happens that something is preventing a connection to the port or hostname. Either there is a firewall blocking the connection or the process that is hosting the service is not listening on that specific port. This may be because it is not running at all or because it is listening on a different port. More on...no connection
