Hello All, I am trying to use Discourse for commenting on my website and I have set it up in a dev environment but having issues. For some reason it looks like Discourse can you read my website on port 5000 (not sure) as I run it locally on my machine. I am getting the error below
INFO:
```
Job exception: Connection refused - connect(2)
```

I am now using a live server and this issue seems to be resolved. It seems like the parser did not like port 5000 “:5000”
