I'm newer for ZMQ, when I operated on the steps, I got this exception. It's not working even though retrying.

I restart the server through checking running python processes and kill it.
ps ax | grep python # this command will list the python process backend.
kill -9 pid # choose the running processes to kill

Just adding a possible solution to help other people. I was able to solve this problem by assigning a different port number to the server.

start-bert-as-service.py -model_dir uncased_L-12_H-768_A-12 -num_worker=1 -cpu -max_batch_size 16 -port 8190

Hope it helps.
