Connection refused when trying to conn.getinfo()

[kramer65]

I'm trying to use this litecoin-python lib to connect to my litecoind installation. I am able to connect, but when I try a getinfo() I'm getting an error that it can't connect. On the same linux installation I've also got a bitcoind daemon running on which the bitcoin-python lib works perfectly well. Below I've pasted a part of the stacktrace.

Does anybody know what's wrong or how I can fix this? All tips are welcome!

>>> import litecoinrpc
>>> conn = litecoinrpc.connect_to_local()
>>> conn.getinfo()
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "build.bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/litecoinrpc/connection.py", line 162, in getinfo
    return ServerInfo(**self.proxy.getinfo())
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/litecoinrpc/proxy.py", line 119, in __call__
  File "build.bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/litecoinrpc/proxy.py", line 72, in request
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 973, in request
    self._send_request(method, url, body headers)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 1007, in _send_request
    self.endheadersd(body)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 969, in endheaders
    self._send_output(message, body)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 829, in _send_output
    self.send(msg)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 791, in send
    self.connect()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 772, in connect
    self.timeout, self.source_address)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 571, in create_connection
     raise err
socket.error: [Errno 111] Connection refused

(it may contain some typo's since I typed it over from a virtual machine from which I cannot copy text..)

Are you running litecoinrpc on a different port than bitcoinrpc?

[kramer65]

I didn't specify a port anywhere (not in bitcoin.conf and also not in litecoin.conf). I tried it while bitcoind was running, but also when bitcoind wasn't running so in the last case I guess bitcoind couldn't interfere at all.

Also, I find it strange that it doesn't complain when I'm connecting (using conn = litecoinrpc.connect_to_local()).

Lastly, in the beginning I also saw some error with "can't connect to socket" or something similar, but I can't seem to reproduce that. I now constantly gives the "Connection refused" error.

Any other ideas maybe?

[kramer65]

I added the rest of the error to the initial question.

Furthermore, when I run the same thing again (conn.getinfo), I get another different error:

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "build.bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/litecoinrpc/connection.py", line 162, in getinfo
    return ServerInfo(**self.proxy.getinfo())
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/litecoinrpc/proxy.py", line 119, in __call__
  File "build.bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/litecoinrpc/proxy.py", line 72, in request
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 973, in request
    self._send_request(method, url, body headers)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 1001, in _send_request
    self.putrequest(method, url, **skips)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 871, in putrequest
    raise CannotSendRequest()
httplib.CannotSendRequest

Does that tell you, or anybody else something usefull? Any tips are still very welcome, since I would love to use this Python library!

@Elijen
Do you know how I can check which ports I run bitcoinrpc and litecoinrpc on?
