ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED on the tutorial

Hi!

My name is Raúl and this is my first post here, in this case my first problem.

I've finished the CodeIgniter tutorial with MAMP and I have this error:

The [:: 1] page has refused the connection.
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

twice: when I clic the link "View article" (News section) and when I clic the button "Create news item".

If somebody has had the same problem and he or she has found the solution, please tell me what can I do.

Thank you very much,
Raúl

check your database config file such as config/database.php
I assume that you click on those links then it should perform some queries to get you results then output to the view

Hi ciadvantage! Thank you for your answer.

I can see the news, so I assumed that there isn't any problem with the DB. I followed all the tutorial step by step and the only problem is about that connexion error.

It's not a DB problem. Your web server is not responding on that address/port.

Either it crashed, or you set it up on a custom port, but then didn't set that in your base_url in the CI config.

Hi Narf

YEAH!!! That was the problem! I didn't put anything in my base_url.

Thank you very much for your help!!!
