Nginx 111: Connection refused errors.

Hello, I’m running Nginx /unicorn I’m getting errors “failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream” from nginx. It seems I’ve tried just about everything DO support, google and stackoverflow has to offer. I dont know if I’m overlooking something or I’ve tried so much that i’ve now messed something up. Here is all the configs, analysis, ect…
