This means that the back end server can’t be reached on localhost port 7633. The same error however have many different causes: • The server didn’t start up. – Check if the back end process is running. On Windows the process is zdesktop.exe, and on Mac/Linux it’s a java process. If the back end server is not running, check /log/zdesktop.out and /log/zdesktop.log for errors. • The server can’t bind to port 7633. – Maybe the port is taken by a different application, but this is rare. • A system firewall blocks access to localhost port 7633. – Such firewalls are more popular on Windows than on other platforms. If you are using a Windows firewall, check its settings. • System is misconfigured and localhost can’t be resolved. – Many Mac OS computers have this issue.
