Hi, I'm having a problem establishing a websocket or even an http connection between ignition and my raspberry pi. I keep getting this msg: Caused by: org.python.core.PyException: IOError: [Errno socket error] [Errno 10061] Connection refused It worked like 2 days ago but for some reason it stopped after changing a few unrelated things in the project, now all I get is connection refused. my http comm code: ![http](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/2/d23ec4aca3e22658d7155ada2c63d67185e93f18.png) my websocket code: ![websocket](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/a/aa50dcf0f0c4d91df26f424973dd1f2c19bfab22.png) please let me know if you need more info ---

> [@Hamza\_Salah](#): > > all I get is connection refused That is purely a network error. Something isn't listening on the expected port, or expected address, or is blocked by a firewall along the way. ---

Thanks for the reply Phil, I have the firewall disabled, and I also tested the code on my raspi with an esp8622.. they both communicate well, so my port/ address are both good I think. The ignition was communicating but it stopped after some changes in the project as I mentioned. Is there any other tips to troubleshoot this ? Much appreciated. ---

Hello, I am also getting error as "com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script.JythonExecException: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 19, in handleMessage File "C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\user-lib\pylib\_socket.py", line 1443, in meth return getattr(self.\_sock,name)(\*args) File "C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\user-lib\pylib\_socket.py", line 936, in connect self.\_connect(addr) File "C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\user-lib\pylib\_socket.py", line 912, in \_connect self.\_handle\_channel\_future(self.connect\_future, "connect") File "C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\user-lib\pylib\_socket.py", line 385, in handle\_exception raise \_map\_exception(jlx) \_socket.error: [Errno 10061] Connection refused" Could you help me on this? ---

> [@Bowsal\_G](#): > > Connection refused The target actively reject your attempt to connect. It isn't a problem on the Ignition side. (Though, you should not be using jython libraries for networking. Use java libraries, or `system.net.httpClient()`. Much more reliable and performant.)
