Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 26,840 Points`POST http://localhost:5000/api/users net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED` error when creating a user?
I've worked through the practice code and received the error POST http://localhost:5000/api/users net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED when trying to run it Chrome, Firefox and Edge. It occurs for both the finished practice and client_completed code, so it's not a typo on my part, but something deeper that seems to be happening with localhost.
Since the error is POST http://localhost:5000/api/users net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED, it seems to have something to do with something I did for project 9, but I have no idea what it could be.
I've run npm audit fix after installing both the practice and solution code.

It's not covered in the practice - but know that if you get this error in your browser's console, it is covered in later material.
