We will try again later. java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused I think the ERROR should only be an INFO (or WARN) because it's no problem if the connection is created later when the server is available. There's nothing fatal about it. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.qos.ch/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
