No connection could be made

Question:  I am getting the following message: "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:1099". How can I fix this?

Answer:  The error you are receiving shows that your process can’t connect with the rendering service and there are there are several reasons why this cannot be accomplished:

1) The server is not started. Make sure that the "XF Ultrascale" Windows Service is is started (you can manually restart the server service directly from management console or from Control Panel\System and Security\Administrative Tools\Services.)

2) The server is started but incoming connections on port 1099 are blocked by a firewall. To fix this, open port 1099 in the firewall. 

3) The server is started, but port 1099 is already being used by another program. To fix this, open the Management Console and change the Port from Server Manager\Configuration\XF Rendering Server\Engine Settings\Listener Configuration to a different value (for example 30000). Restart the "XF Ultrascale" Windows Service. In your client application you now have to use the new port value, and you can use RequestParameters.ServerPort to specify a new value.

4)  Another possibility implies setting incorrect ip address and port number. In Management Console – Configuration – XF Rendering Server – Engine Settings – Dispatcher Configuration you can set the ip address and port number. If you have performed any changes in this area these must be specified in the asp file, in order to find the correct location of the server.
