git push heroku master gives error ssh: connect to host heroku.com port 22: Connection refused

Question

I'm trying to run the heroku-django tutorial (using ubuntu 12.04) and it seems for some reason i cant push into heroku. here is what happens:

yeinhorn@ubuntu:~/hellodjango$ git init
Reinitialized existing Git repository in /home/yeinhorn/hellodjango/.git/
yeinhorn@ubuntu:~/hellodjango$ git add .
yeinhorn@ubuntu:~/hellodjango$ git commit -m "my first commit"
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
yeinhorn@ubuntu:~/hellodjango$ heroku create
Creating high-dusk-6308... done, stack is cedar
http://high-dusk-6308.herokuapp.com/ | [email protected]:high-dusk-6308.git
 !    New default stack: Cedar. To use Bamboo, run `heroku create -s bamboo`.
yeinhorn@ubuntu:~/hellodjango$ git remote -v
heroku  [email protected]:blazing-dusk-8587.git (fetch)
heroku  [email protected]:blazing-dusk-8587.git (push)
yeinhorn@ubuntu:~/hellodjango$ git push heroku master
ssh: connect to host heroku.com port 22: Connection refused
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
yeinhorn@ubuntu:~/hellodjango$ git push -f heroku
ssh: connect to host heroku.com port 22: Connection refused
fatal: The remote end hung 

up unexpectedly

also when i run

$telnet heroku.com 22

i get

Trying 50.19.85.132...
Trying 50.19.85.154...
Trying 50.19.85.156...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

any ideas?

Based on this question and this question, I'd suggest you check that you don't have any firewall or port blocking software running (like PeerGaurdian) and that you're nto blocking Amazon/EC2 anywhere on your system.
