Error getting response due to refused connection

I've created a test project for my web service and trying to submit a soap request to it, but keep getting error
Error getting response; org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connection to http://127.0.0.1:8888 refused.
the uri of service is http://localhost:57643/****.asmx. Why does it try to connect to 8888 port and how can I fix it.

  • From what I have encountered, 

    Error getting response; org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connection to http://127.0.0.1:8888 refused.

    Is due to the proxy settings of SoapUI itself. My issue was resolved after changing the proxy setting of SoapUI to none. 

     

    Soap UI > Preferences ans Settings > Proxy settings > none

     

    This link has more details on SoapUI settings :

    Just thought this might help someone out there.
