Help needed to get reaper.exe running

Hello all,

I have tried to get reaper.exe running and edited the config files as good as i could, but i keep getting the error:
'Couldn't connect to server...'

This is the content of my reaper.conf:
cpu_mining_threads 12
kernel reaper.cl
save_binaries yes
enable_graceful_shutdown no
long_polling yes
mine litecoin

This is the content of my litecoin.conf:
host 77.95.228.62
port 8332
user {the real username}
pass {the real password}
protocol litecoin
worksize 256
vectors 1
aggression 18
threads_per_gpu 1
sharethreads 32
lookup_gap 2
gpu_thread_concurrency 21712

I would like to set it up for my Core i7 990x having 12 logical cores (and 24GB RAM), but now it seems to be configured for the GPU, which is not very fast in my case, so i want to set it up for my CPU.

So i have two problems:
1: It doesn't connect to the server
2: how to set it up for my CPU

I would be very greatfull for anyones help!

Regards,

Albert
