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

[Learning apr <le...@hotmail.co.uk>]

Hello,

I use function apr_socket_connect(_self->shared_socket, _self->intf_addr) to make a TCP connection.

But I got the error message: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. 

What caused this error.

Thanks!

Are you sure that someone is listening on the IP:PORT you're connecting to?
try a "telnet IP port" and see if you can connect to the machine.

Erm, the target machine actively refused the connection :-) The above
error message is what clib on Windows gives you when it instead of
getting a SYN|ACK it gets a FIN or a RST or similar, it means that
nothing is listening or what a firewall is denying that connection.
