java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 127.0.1.1;

Question

    java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 127.0.1.1; nested exception is:
    java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
    at sun.rmi.transport         


        

Answer 1

I had the same exact problem and my issue was that I had 2 IP addresses from 2 different networks configured in the etc/hosts as below.

10.xxx.x.xxx    localhost
192.xxx.x.xxx   localhost

This should be because there was a conflict as to which IP to be used for the other devices to reach the rmiregistry over the network.

Once I removed the extra-record that is not required, I was able to solve the issue.

So my etc/hosts file had only the following record.

10.xxx.x.xxx    localhost
