'Cucumber feature' fails with Connection refused error.

[khezr]

Hi all,

I'm very new to cucumber and am having difficulties running cucumber.
I used to run 'cucumber features' command in RAILS_ROOT and everything
was fine. Today I'm working from home and all I get by running the
command is :

Connection refused - connect(2) (Errno::ECONNREFUSED)

Here are my installed gem versions:

Does it have anything to do with the solr server? I'm sure the server
is started. Is it related to my network proxy/firewall settings? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Khezr

It looks like your plugin "geocoder" is failing to "fetch coordinates"
from an HTTP server. Make sure that service is running.
I don't know what the "geocoder" plugin is, but hopefully you do.

It doesn't look like anything Cucumber-specific.

Good luck!
