a question on SOAP

[Rajarshi Guha]

Hi,
  I'm, using SOAP.py (0.9.7) and Python 2.2. I have a small python script
acting as a 'server' and another script calls functions on the server.
Currently both client and server are on the same machine. However when
the client calls the server I get the following errors:
'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./cdbclient.py", line 84, in ?
    c =  s.getCAS(cas = config['cas'],theory = config['theory'])
  File "/home/rajarshi/src/py/modules/SOAP.py", line 3616, in __r_call
    self.__hd, self.__ma)
  File "/home/rajarshi/src/py/modules/SOAP.py", line 3534, in __call
    config = self.config)
  File "/home/rajarshi/src/py/modules/SOAP.py", line 3410, in call
    r.putrequest("POST", real_path)
  File "/usr/local//lib/python2.2/httplib.py", line 453, in putrequest
    self.send(str)
  File "/usr/local//lib/python2.2/httplib.py", line 395, in send
    self.connect()
  File "/usr/local//lib/python2.2/httplib.py", line 379, in connect
    raise socket.error, msg
socket.error: (111, 'Connection refused')

My firewall is off, nmap shows that the port 8080 is open, so why would
the server be refusing connections?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

TIA,
