Problems with fabric deployment

Question

Im using the fab script from here. fab deploy throws an error at right after creating the application. The error is:

Fatal error: Low level socket error connecting to host username.webfactional.com: Connection refused (tried 1 time)

Underlying exception:
    Connection refused

I have seen this answer, but I have ssh running on my machine.

Can you ssh in normally? Password based or key based? Are you sure the SSH uname, pword & port are correct? — Timmy O'Mahony, Feb 24 '12 at 20:15

The root cause of the issue ended up being use of port within the code.

I had a similar connection problem with recently started EC2 instances from AWS. Apparently, the instances may not yet be accessible via ssh even though their status has switched to running already.

There seems to be no proper solution, this is the most elegant I got:

while True:
    try:
        run('whoami')
        break
    except Exception, e:
        print "instance not yet reachable, wait a little bit", e
        time.sleep(10)

you might add a counter to avoid endless loops ;-) – linqu Apr 03 '14 at 17:47

The problem has been solved by downgrading to Fabric 1.3.4 instead of 1.4
