   I have just successfully started my first wordpress blog. I have it all installed correctly on my localhost, but now I've transferred it to the live server. I've changed the database connections in the wp-config. But when I try to access the blog I get an error
   The connection was refused when attempting to contact http://www.jbaykids.co.za:81. Where is it getting :81 from ? Does this need to be configured somewhere for the live server ? My apache server on localhost uses 81.

   Please help. I am new to both wordpress & php.

   Thanks

   It's probably using the MySQL default port - I believe it is 3306 if that's the case just remove the ':81' from the url

   It seems that "Blog address (URL)" is setup incorrectly. You can change it directly from your MySQL database (on live server). You can also refer the following URL:
