Crashes with ECONNREFUSED on OS X

[cwacek]

On OSX 10.7.5, node version 0.8.15 (which I realize is old - will update and retry)

When I run vnc-over-gif and try to connect to `http://localhost:4444/screen.gif', it crashes with the following message:

events.js:71
        throw arguments[1]; // Unhandled 'error' event
                       ^
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED
    at errnoException (net.js:769:11)
    at Object.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:760:19)

Looks like you just need to use a different port, 4444 is used by many other applications.

[arturadib]

used PORT=4455 as per README, also changing the port didn't help

same on Linux
Node v0.10.5

Do you have VNC server running at 127.0.0.1:5900? On osx you can start it from System Preferences>Sharing or as sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -activate -configure -access -off -restart -agent -privs -all -allowAccessFor -allUsers -clientopts -setvncpw -vncpw 123pass (123pass is your password here)
