So, I'm just starting and I run a MacOS device. First issue:

"Failed to connect to localhost port 8888: Connection refused" after running curl http://localhost:8888/v1/chain/get_info in MacOS

I successfully started running the node I thought, because a chain of transactions were showing, however there is this connection failure on the port.

What is going on? Thanks for helping.

First, check whether you run nodeos with option plugin = eosio::chain_api_plugin. You can add that option when you execute nodeos in command line like $ nodeos --plugin eosio::chain_api_plugin ... or put it into config.ini of nodeos.

Second, if your nodeos is executed remotely, set option http-server-address = 0.0.0.0:8888. This also can be added to command line command or config.ini.
