title: Socket Error: Errno 111 Connection Refused
body: <p>im trying to connect to a locally hosted HiveMQ broker using a RaspberryPi Virtual Machine (Using Oracle VM VirtualBox). im using Mqtt.fx aswell as a second client to look at if the published messages are being recieved.</p>
  
  <p>i was using "iot.eclipse.org" before i tried using the local hivemq broker and it worked fine. so im not too sure what the problem is. maybe im just forgetting something. </p>
  
  <p>im using the paho mqtt module. and my library code is heavily ripped from here: <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/paho-mqtt" rel="nofollow">https://pypi.python.org/pypi/paho-mqtt</a></p>
  
  <p>im using a library/module and then referencing that in another .py file.
  This is the code from the library/module:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt
  
  client = mqtt.Client()                       
  
  #Called on connection to server/broker
  def on_connect(client, userdata, rc):                                               
      print("connected with result code"+str(rc))                                 
  
  #Called when new message published to subscribed topic
  def on_message(client, userdata, msg):          
      print("NEW PUBLISH: "+msg.topic+" "+str(msg.payload))
  
  #configure connection to the broker
  def setup():                                    
      client.on_connect = on_connect
      client.on_message = on_message
  
  #Subscribe
  def subscribe(topic):
      print("subscribing to topic: " +topic)
      client.subscribe(topic)
  
  #Connect to broker
  def connect():
      client.connect("127.0.0.1", 1883, 60)
  
  def publish(topic, msg):
      client.publish(topic, msg)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and this is the code im actually running. Just 2 simple publishes:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import mqttLib as owly
  
  owly.setup()
  owly.connect()
  owly.publish("test/library", "test okay :)")
  
  num1 = input("1st number: ")
  num2 = input("2nd number: ")
  mult = num1 * num2
  
  owly.publish("test/mult", mult)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the message i get after running it:</p>
  
  <pre><code> Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "mqttTest.py", line 6, in &lt;module&gt;
    owly.connect()
    File "/home/rpi/python/MQTT/mqttLib.py", line 27, in connect
    client.connect("127.0.0.1", 1883, 60)
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 612, In connect
    return self.reconnect()
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 732, in reconnect
    sock = socket.create_connection((self._host, self._port))
    File "/usr/lib/python2.6/socket.py", line 514, in create_connection
    raise error, msg
    socket.error: [Errno 111] Connection refused
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The fact it works on a remotely hosted broker. and not locally confuses me. </p>
  
  <p>i have stripped off most of the plugins on HiveMQ and left the message log plugin on HiveMQ aswell so i dont think its anything to do with authentication.</p>
  
  <p>i think the virtual machine im using is ubuntu if that helps!</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your time in advance!</p>
