If you dont have anything listening on port 8080 on localhost, that must return a Connection refused error. |
I ran this from a command prompt; I assume that's correct, and that I didn't need to be in a particular directory? Does it create a log somewhere? When I run it, nothing happens - or more accurately, I run it and then a new prompt appears immediately, with no error messages or other output. I don't entirely understand your explanation here, so I'm not sure what to make of this result.
Just for the heck of it, I did try turning off the Windows FW completely, as well as entirely disabling my AV and AS (at which point Windows certainly believed I had no FW or AV), but this made no difference.
