Re: connection was refused when attempting to connect to localhost

Hi Chris,

using a fresh install under Linux you can usually access the ZMI at

  http://localhost:8080/manage

If you then create a Plone instance with the ID 'mysite' it is available at

  http://localhost:8080/mysite

The 'mysite' part of the URL is compulsory.

In case your web browser uses a proxy you should make sure that requests
to 'localhost' and '127.0.0.1' are handled correctly.

You could also use the command 'netstat -tanp' (being 'root') to see a
list of open ports and the applications that use them. For Zope/Plone
typical output looks like

  tcp  0  0 0.0.0.0:8080  0.0.0.0:*   LISTEN   32164/python

Best wishes,

Markus Tesmer
