Can't start tomcat with Ant

[syed_rizvi]

I am using the SpringLive book to learn the subject but I can't start tomcat from Ant as I get an error "java.net.ConnectionException:Connection refused:connect"
I do have the username and password as admin in both the build.properties file and tomcat-user.xml file. Please advice how to fix this error.

thanks

"Connection refused" rather refers to a network port problem, not a credential one. Double check the port settings on both side to make sure they match.
