Try 8333 and let me know if that resolves the issue.

I use 8333 on one machine, 8332 on another machine with no issues.

If you’re using the GUI client, be sure to click “Settings”, “Options”, and then “Enable RPC Server”.

“daemon=1” is if you’re using bitcoinIId launched from an ms-dos terminal or Linux terminal and want it to run unseen in the background.
