Dear community, After installing Rasa X, I meet the errors as below: ```auto root@iZZ:/etc/rasa# sudo docker-compose logs|grep -i error rasa-x_1 | ERROR:pika.adapters.utils.io_services_utils:Socket failed to connect: ; error=111 (Connection refused) rasa-x_1 | ERROR:pika.adapters.utils.connection_workflow:TCP Connection attempt failed: ConnectionRefusedError(111, 'Connection refused'); dest=(, , 6, '', ('172.21.0.4', 5672)) rasa-x_1 | ERROR:pika.adapters.utils.connection_workflow:AMQPConnector - reporting failure: AMQPConnectorSocketConnectError: ConnectionRefusedError(111, 'Connection refused') rasa-x_1 | ERROR:pika.adapters.blocking_connection:Unexpected connection close detected: ConnectionClosedByBroker: (320) "CONNECTION_FORCED - broker forced connection closure with reason 'shutdown'" rasa-x_1 | ERROR:rasax.community.services.event_service:Caught an exception while consuming events. Will retry in 5 s. rasa-x_1 | raise self._closed_result.value.error ``` Any idea what’s wrong? Thanks, ---

Hi @yiouyou , Sometimes it takes a litte while before all containers are up & running. Are all the other containers up & running ? What do you see when you do `sudo docker ps -a` ? ---

`sudo docker-compose ps -a` ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/rasa/original/2X/8/84d410a25cf4a24e53ab5fcb92c9f9003d26394f.png) `sudo docker ps -a` ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/rasa/original/2X/f/f0ede809d6deb6165535617754902bcd8c30f99c.png) I’ve been waiting for quite awhile, the problem is still there. ---

Were you able to solve this problem? Even I am facing this issue. The bot is not responding at all. ---

Issue has been solved. Some tips: 1. The connection between rasa and rasa-x is based on docker’s bridge network. We should understand that first. 2. Within the ‘rasa\_default’ network, all containers are allowed to access each other by their service’s name, such as ‘app’. 3. For beginners, don’t use the latest version, especially during the updating process. As I can remember, I used rasa/rasa:1.7.0-full and rasa/rasa-sdk:1.7.0 to build the custom rasa-x. ---

Hi @yiouyouDo you have an exact explanation for how this was resolved? Can you paste your docker files? I am essentials using the docker-compose.yml that came with the quick Docker install via the Rasa docs: [Docker-Compose Quick Install](https://rasa.com/docs/rasa-x/installation-and-setup/docker-compose-script/) I am trying to resolve these errors: ```auto rasa-production_1 | 2020-03-10 05:18:22 ERROR pika.adapters.utils.connection_workflow - TCP Connection attempt failed: ConnectionRefusedError(111, 'Connection refused'); dest=(, , 6, '', (''263.13.0.5'', 5672)) rasa-production_1 | 2020-03-10 05:18:22 ERROR pika.adapters.utils.connection_workflow - AMQPConnector - reporting failure: AMQPConnectorSocketConnectError: ConnectionRefusedError(111, 'Connection refused') rasa-worker_1 | 2020-03-10 05:18:22 ERROR pika.adapters.utils.io_services_utils - Socket failed to connect: ; error=111 (Connection refused) rasa-worker_1 | 2020-03-10 05:18:22 ERROR pika.adapters.utils.connection_workflow - TCP Connection attempt failed: ConnectionRefusedError(111, 'Connection refused'); dest=(, , 6, '', ('263.13.0.5', 5672)) rasa-worker_1 | 2020-03-10 05:18:22 ERROR pika.adapters.utils.connection_workflow - AMQPConnector - reporting failure: AMQPConnectorSocketConnectError: ConnectionRefusedError(111, 'Connection refused') ``` ---

Has anyone got an exact approach to solution to someone who is not much used to Docker, here? ---

To who might need an example of setting up Rasa X dockers, please check the following blog: # [How to set up the docker cluster of Rasa X and Grakn](https://www.jianshu.com/p/ed56c02ceea7) Hope it’s useful. btw, the previous link is wrong, just correct it.
