Gale,

I get a slightly different error message when my local Application Server is
not running:

Error connecting to the Application Server localhost:5001

I noticed that in yours it says "http:/localhost:5001" while my error
message says "localhost:5001" so assuming that the difference is not a
transcription error, it could be that you have not defined the server
correctly in your broker.cfg file. It should be:

Server localhost

Note that I was able to replicate your exact error message using:

Server http:\\localhost

You should not use http in your server definition. HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer
Protocol) is how browsers talk to web servers. The broker is a cgi
executable that talks to a SAS Application Server using TCP/IP sockets.

If this is not the problem, perhaps you might want to check your hosts file
to see if there is something strange about localhost. You could also try to
use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost in your broker.cfg.

HTH,
-don h
