Error on worldserver.connect

[Sanayan]

I just finished putting putting my server together but can't get it up in running.

This is the message I get after running start.bat

[DEBUG] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_3600.log
[DEBUG] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Loading server configuration..
[DEBUG [NET__WORLD] WorldConnection connect: Connecting to the server localhost:9000 failed: TCPConnection::Connect(): connect() failed. Error: 10061
[DEBUG [LAUNCHER__ERROR] worldserver.Connect() FAILED! Will retry.
[DEBUG [LAUNCHER__INIT] Starting main loop...

And here is a coy of my config.xtml
