The ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED appears because the server is down. The reason why the server is down is because of the error you pointed:

Error: Can't set headers after they are sent.

That means you tried to send the response twice. In case of error you have to run return res.send(err) because you want to not call the res.json in case of error. If you do (what currently is happening), you will get that error.

eventReadUpload.save(function(err) {
  if (err)
    return res.send(err);

  res.json({
    message: 'Read file!'
  });
});

You will have to figure out why the saving fails, but this will fix the initial problem.
