Cannot call any Endpoints - error is Connection to http://localhost:8000 refused

I have been using SoapUI Pro for 2 years now and haven't had many issues with it but I am really stuck now.  I have been working in SoapUI off and on all day. This afternoon, I find I can't call any of my endpoints or any webservices at all. I get the same error even though I am NOT trying to connect to a localhost web service. SoapUI is now completely unusable. How do I correct this problem?

 

This is the meat of the error:

  • ERROR:org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connection to http://localhost:8000 refused

  • I figured it out. I had used a proxy service for a little while. I turned the proxy off and continued using SoapUI. SoapUI crashed and did not save the proxy disabled setting. So, I've disabled the proxy and now it all works.

     

    File->Preferences->Proxy Settings->

    Changed Manual back to Automatic
