Title: Setting up a node
Post by: tmbp on September 25, 2014, 05:24:56 pm: Hello there!

I have compiled and setup a node to behave like a daemon on my remote server, I have compiled bitshares-ptsd and used the following configs:

Code: [Select]
server=1 rpcuser=user1 rpcpassword=pass4 rpcport=6003 port=5003 rpcssl=0
When I issue a simple command I get an error:

Code: [Select]
./bitshares-ptsd getblockcount error: incorrect rpcuser or rpcpassword (authorization failed)

Try:
Code: [Select]
./bitshares-ptsd -rpcuser=user1 -rpcpassword=pass4 -rpcport=6003 getblockcount

Nope, still the same

Already tried restarting multiple times

nano ~/.bitshares-pts/bitshares-pts.conf server=1 rpcuser=user1 rpcpassword=pass4 rpcport=6003 port=5003 rpcssl=0
What am I missing?

looks about right .. could you try with only these three lines:

Code: [Select]
server=1 rpcuser=user1 rpcpassword=pass4

Post by: tmbp on September 25, 2014, 07:46:01 pm: It seems that I had another daemon listening on the same port despite having specified a different port and rpcport in the file for that daemon.

tl:dr I goofed up
