How do you connect it? Are they on the same machine?– Badr Bellaj ♦Aug 6, 2019 at 18:43

on the same machine use --rpcaddr 127.0.0.1 to start the JSON RCP on the localhost network and only connections from your local machine reach the geth server
on a remote machine use --rpcaddr "0.0.0.0" to allow remote connections.
For both case in metamask indicate the machine ip (for the first case use http://127.0.0.1:8545 for the second case use the machine ip instead 127.0.0.1)

Maybe another process is using that port try to use lsof -i :8545 to see if which process is listening– Badr Bellaj ♦Aug 7, 2019 at 13:50
