Connection Exception:java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

[arun kumar]

I am using Jira CLI for some automation project.

But when I try to run the command.. I got this error message.

C:\jira-cli-2.6.0>jira --server "xxxxxx" --user xxxx --p
assword xxxxx --action getServerInfo
Unable to log in to server: https://www.xxxx.com/jira/rpc/soap/jirasoapservic
e-v2 with user: xxxxx.
Cause: ; nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

How can I fix this problem?

Make sure you can ping or access from a brower the address: https://www.teamccp.com/jira . Then make sure you can go to https://www.teamccp.com/jira/rpc/soap/jirasoapservice-v2 from a browser as well. Do this from the same system you are trying to run the CLI command from.

Man, formatting this is painfull:

-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.mydomain.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080
 -Dhttp.noProxyHosts=”localhost|directaccessible.mydomain.com”

Tnks Bob,

I can access that url from my browser. I am working in company where be enabled proxy server. But that command (jira cli) is executing in shell.

From my observation from netstat -n command, I found one thing.

The jira server request are to its actual IP (resolved one from our dns server) instead of throgh my proxy server.

How can I set my Jira CLI Api to use our proxy server?

How can I set this?????????

<code>-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.mydomain.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080

-Dhttp.noProxyHosts=”localhost|directaccessible.mydomain.com”

I am using Jira CLI.

[arun kumar]

Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.mydomain.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080

-Dhttp.noProxyHosts=”localhost|directaccessible.mydomain.com”

This will not work for https

[Bob Swift]

Put this in your jira.bat/jira.sh or atlassian.bat/atlassian.sh file so you don't need to worry about it. Use the https based version of what was indicated above - https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/55443/how-to-instruct-rest-to-use-a-proxy/55470 is another example.

Tnks Bob,

But even if I set these, the http request not goes to proxy server.. I tested -Dhttp with other java programs, i works correctly. But this JIra Cli CLient skips this settings, and request do not goes to proxy server. I think it the problem of JIra Cli client. Am I right?


[Bob Swift]

Not that I am aware of. I don't have that configuration. Perhaps someone with that configuration can provide more specific configuration information for you.

I have faced the same problem. I could open http://jiratest.a.com/jira/rpc/soap/jirasoapservice-v2 from my Windows desktop, but it could not be opened on Linux server where JIRA was installed. It was caused by iptables, where this conf is written

*nat
-A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080

While I got

$ wget http://jiratest.a.local/jira/rpc/soap/jirasoapservice-v2
--2014-08-01 13:50:01--  http://jiratest.a.local/jira/rpc/soap/jirasoapservice-v2
Resolving jiratest.a.local... 10.0.1.61
Connecting to jiratest.a.local|10.0.1.61|:80... failed: Connection refused.

a little bit change in port number helped

wget http://jiratest.a.local:8080/rpc/soap/jirasoapservice-v2

I have the same problem from our CentOS servers and no such problem from my Ubuntu machine. So, the problem is not with the jira-cli client. Maybe the problem is with java - it is different on machines.
