Actually it means that nothing is listening on that port.  That page
doesn't tell you that, it just tells you how to set up rndc. The most frequent
reason for the above problem is that named is not running. The second
most frequent reason is that named isn't configured to listen to the
command channel that rndc uses. What does ps |grep "named" tell you?

Also you should upgrade to a more recent version of BIND 9.1.3 at least
but 9.2.0 would be much better.
