Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 61] Connection refused about tika-python HOT 7 CLOSED

I am getting text contents from Azure web server with below code
from tika import parser
text = parser.from_file(file)--file is doc file

I am getting below error
HTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=9998): Max retries exceeded with url: /rmeta/text (Caused by NewConnectionError(': Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions',))

Hi Frank @fysteven were you doing lots of parallel connections?

Hi Chris @chrismattmann , the following snippet is how I iterated the file list.
It failed around the 8181st detection of file.
Looks like the Tika Server would establish a new connection for each detection, right?

        for idx, val in enumerate(file_list):
            file_name = os.path.basename(val)
            file_type = detector.from_file(''.join([base_directory, val]))

hi @fysteven any update here? Are you still seeing this?

closing since I never heard back. Please re-open if you still see this.

Has anyone found a fix to the issue?

The issue usually relates to:

1. Your firewall doesn't allow incoming connections on localhost to 9998
2. You already had your own Tika server running on 9998 (not started by Python) and something gets messed up - you need to kill that Tika server, and then let Python start it for you.
