Do you have Metasploit service running? service metasploit start

yes I do have metasploit service running I have updated to the suggested version and I see nothing but this Error above as well

This library was just working for me after adding the try/excepts for the ssl library from another issue. Now 100% of the time I'm getting connection refused as well. Restart metasploit, tried running metasploit as a daemon, and it's just constantly saying connection refused.

I can confirm metasploit is running and msfrpcd is running as well.

COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
ruby    17384 root    9u  IPv4 243289      0t0  TCP *:55553 (LISTEN)

OK well, apparently adding the port option to MsfRpcClient will fix this.

client = MsfRpcClient(password, port=55553) # works.
client = MsfRpcClient(password) # does not

What's weird is that in the code it says port will default to 55553 so I have no idea why adding that parameter with the value it already has by default makes it work.
