[Morelock, Kindra]

Hi everyone,

I've spent the better part of today trying to install the JournalTOC 
Reconciliation service for OpenRefine 
(https://github.com/lawlesst/journaltocs-reconcile). I seem to be very close to 
adding the service to OpenRefine, but it keeps timing out when I try to add the 
service. It is hitting the service, according to the command prompt:

But in OpenRefine it's telling me "Error contacting recon service: timeout:

I've also tried http://0.0.0.0:5000/ and http://127.0.0.1:5000/ -- same error.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
