A failed attempt to establish a connection to a server is indicated by the error message “rserver error system error 111 (connection refused)”. At Bobcares, with our Server Management Service, we can handle your Kubernetes cluster issues.

Fixing “rserver error system error 111 (connection refused)”

The error typically happens when a client tries to connect to a server via a port that the server is not accepting connections on. The steps that follow can be taken to troubleshoot and possibly fix this problem:

1. Initially, verify that the server to which we are attempting to connect is working. The server may reject inbound connections if it is unavailable or not operating correctly.

2. Also, make sure the server port we are attempting to connect to is the right one. Verify the port number in the setup one more time.

3. It’s possible that any installed security software or firewall is preventing inbound connections to the server. So, verify that the port we are using is open by checking the firewall settings on the server.

4. Verify that the connection is not being hindered by a network issue. This can be a problem with the server’s network connection, a problem with the local network, or a problem with the network settings.

5. Determine the server service or app we are attempting to connect to. Then, verify that the service is up and set correctly to take in new connections.

6. Make sure the server setup is in such a way that it can listen on the appropriate port as well as accept incoming connections by looking through its setup files.

7. Ensure that the hostname is appropriately resolving to the IP address of the server if we are connecting with a hostname.

8. Look through the server logs to see if there are any mistakes or problems with incoming connections. There may be further details in the logs.

9. Attempt to restart the client and server-side services. This can helps resolve transient problems.

10. The server may be rejecting connections because of resource constraints if it is experiencing high traffic. Examine the server’s resource use.
