[NBLUG/talk] localhost: connection refused

[Todd Cary]

Egg on my face!!  Here is the actual cause of the problem (please do not 
laugh or send a virus to my computer):

http://localhost:81

Yup!  This is my play server so httpd is on port 81.

When I did the suggested netstat -l |egrep "localhost | 127.0.0. | :http 
| :81" (I saw the :80 in the suggestion), the lightbulb turned on!
