I keep getting the error, "local host refused to connect". The gateway was working fine yesterday. When I tried to start the Ignition Gateway in services, I get the following error message.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, Thank you.

Can you get the wrapper.log file from the Ignition install directory and upload it here?

You might need to try reinstalling, it looks like a crash could have corrupted some of the installation files...
