curl: (7) couldn't connect to host

I installed docverter server on my Ubuntu 12.04 EC2 instance.

Running the demo gives the following error:

~/docverter/doc/examples/shell/html_to_pdf# ./convert.sh

 % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current

In debugging with @peterkeen, it appears that the docverter server is not installing correctly so port 9595 (the port called in convert.sh) isn't active.

It looks like we need a from-scratch install in a VM?
