Eclipse : Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused. [duplicate]

Answer 1

If you need to debug an application working on Tomcat, make sure that your Tomcat-folder/bin/startup.bat (if using windows) contains the following lines:

set JPDA_TRANSPORT="dt_socket"
set JPDA_ADDRESS=8000

call "%EXECUTABLE%" jpda start %CMD_LINE_ARGS%

Answer 2

I faced the same issue. But i resolved it by changing my port numbers to different one.

Answer 3

• The port number in the Eclipse configuration and the port number of your application might not be the same.

• You might not have been started your application with the right parameters.

  Those are the simple problems when I have faced "Connection refused" error.

Answer 4

As suat said, most of the time the connection refused is due to the fact that the port you set up is in use or there is a difference between the port number in your remote application debugging configuration in Eclipse and the port number used in the address attribute in

-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=1044,server=y,suspend=n.

Check those things. Thanks!

Answer 5

when you have Failed to connect to remote VM Connection refused error, restart your eclipse

Answer 6

Sometimes the port which you are trying to access, gets occupied and won't be released. Try some tools to find whether the port is in use or not. I also faced the same issue. I tried giving different port numbers but unfortunately it didn't work. I tried restarting the system (not the application server), and it worked :)
