Connection refused on AWS works fine locally on osx and Linux about akephalos HOT 3 OPEN

Seems similar to http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-capybara/browse_thread/thread/7873cdddd9c8a0c8

I'm guessing if DRB can't bind, there's multiple akephalos processes trying to use the same port.

Thanks for posting,

In our case it seemed the AWS has got a strage way of using IP addresses,
locally ci.companyx.co.uk was not resolving to a local ip,
externally it does. Not sure how it gets the domain name btw or why.

Using the hosts file we were able to map this "resolved" ip to localhost.

When we were debugging this we used a combination of DRb by itself,
and telnet.

Have u tried reproducing it with 2 DRb scripts?
What we found is that there was a missing error,
its the one where it fails to bind to the IP,
probably in your case because its already in use,
the "other" process I guess then tries to connect on this.

Have u found places where Akephalos is not working for you,
hence using @env-js?

This should be fixed in #69
