Unable to connect using Bot Framework Channel Emulator

I’m created a new bot using Azure Bot Services. I am trying to connect to it using the Bot Framework Channel Emulator.

I am consistently getting this error

-> POST 401 [conversationUpdate] [11:03:09] Error: The bot's MSA appId or passsword is incorrect.

The MSA AppId on both the emulator and the environment settings on the app are the same. I verified that. I have tried creating a new bot but I am getting the same problem.

I have tried the troubleshooting guide to set the appID and password to null and to remove the appID and password values from the emulator connection. I am getting the same error.

If I try to replace the endpoint with: http://localhost:3978/api/messages I get -> POST connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:3978

Is this a problem with my configuration settings or something else. I am running on OSX 10.10.5.

Hi Eanders, it’s 8080. When I run the code it takes me to http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/messages (p.s. incase it makes a difference, I’m using mac)

changing port number for iis express locally solved the same issue for me
