Re: reg:conninfo

Sandhya,

If you use localhost you will be creating a UNIX domain socket. If you
use the IP address you will create a TCP/IP socket.

Did you try running with -i yet? It doesn't mean accept remote
connections, it means accept TCP/IP connection. Without it, you cannot
connect to an IP address ...
