Are you trying to connect remotely or from a browser (i.e. links) on
localhost?  If you are connecting from a remote host, I doubt you'll
find port 5000 open by default.

What I would do if I were you:

1) Run pylons on 127.0.0.1:5000
2) Install links or equivalent in your VPS
3) run links (in the VPS) and try to connect to 127.0.0.1:5000

If this works, but you can't connect to real_ip:5000, then I'd think
you're looking at a firewall issue.  You have three options here:

1) Open the firewall on 5000 (not recommended)
2) Run Pylons as root on port 80 (not recommended)
3) Run a proxy on 80 to pass requests through to 5000 (recommended)

I strongly recommend the third option.  Since it's a VPS I'd also
recommend using Nginx or Lighttpd as the proxy as they'll use far less
resources than Apache (Nginx being my favorite, but either will do).

Regards,
Cliff
