curl (7): Failed to connect to localhost port 8000: Connection refused

Hello I am testing the endpoint and when I run php testing.php I get this error. Any help would be appreciated it.

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Guzzle\Http\Exception\CurlException' with message '[curl] 7: Failed to connect to localhost port 8000: Connection refused [url] http://localhost:8000/api/programmers' guzzle\guzzle\src\Guzzle\Http\Curl\CurlMulti.php:359 ...

I've tried 127.0.0.1 as well and it didnt work

here is testing.php

<?php

require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

use Guzzle\Http\Client;

// create our http client (Guzzle)
$client = new Client('http://localhost:8000', array(
    'request.options' => array(
        'exceptions' => false,
    )
));

$nickname = 'ObjectOrienter'.rand(0, 999);
$data = array(
    'nickname' => $nickname,
    'avatarNumber' => 5,
    'tagLine' => 'a test dev!'
);

$request = $client->post('/api/programmers', null, json_encode($data));
$response = $request->send();

echo $response;
echo "\n\n";
Solution

  • if you are using linux, make sure the server is running using 

    /etc/init.d/httpd status
