ERROR: "connect ECONNREFUSED" in Mobile Automation and X3 Services Sandbox

Summary

I'm trying to use Mobile Automation, but get

Description

This is a new installation, and I was checking that Mobile Automation was working but I couldn't get logged in - I was getting "connect ECONNREFUSED".

I tried the X3 Services Sandbox (http://server-name/xtrem/explorer/) but I got the same error.

When I looked in the xtrem log file, I saw "Uncaught Exception thrown: Error: EPIPE: broken pipe, write".

Resolution

The EPIPE error relates to X3 Services having trouble communicating with SQL Server - it assumes SQL has been configured to communicate on Port 1433.

I changed the tcp/ip port settings from Dynamic to 1433, and this resolved the problem.
