Thread: IPB and Sphinx connection to localhost:3312 failed

Do you have any sort of firewall installed, eg iptables. Maybe that is not allowing connections to 3312 - even to/from localhost?

> Do you have any sort of firewall installed, eg iptables. Maybe that is not allowing > connections to 3312 - even to/from localhost? My firewall is disabled. I have alredy tried to disable iptables. I have 3 servers and only on one server I have this issue... the rest two are working fine. so I don't think it has something to do with iptables What else can I try?

> What else can I try? have you tried telnet localhost 3312 to see if its possible to contact searchd manually. Also check the output of netstat to see if searchd is listening.
