Error 111: Connection refused on RPI3

[BenjaminUrquhart]

I have followed all the directions on how to install, but when I start the bot, I get this error:

HTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=8080): Max retries exceeded with url: /microphone?enabled=False (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7136a450>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused',))

I have tracked this down to the Smart Mirror interface not opening port 8080 for some reason.

Any suggestions?

Go to local Host 8080 and test with any statement then it would work or check your internet connection

[aak2003]

Start npm and then start bot.py

I'm going to close this as I no longer run the mirror
