I'm having a really difficult time getting this to work for me. I'm getting connection refused errors. I'm running Rails 4.2, Ruby 2.1.5 and Byebug 4.05. Did you run into any gotchas like this? Any ideas? Thanks!

try opening the website via pow as well, just hitting touch tmp/restart isn't enough to restart the server, you actually have to access it as well
