Title: Console 'undefined' after rpc_start_server
Post by: Methodise on November 25, 2014, 09:54:52 pm

I'm trying to set a bot to work on bitshares. I'm confused about a number of issues therein, but one thing that seems especially strange:

After unlocking my full GUI version of the Bitshares client, I am using rpc_set_username / rpc_set_password and rpc_start_server XXXX.

Thereafter, any further commands entered into the client console will return 'undefined' .

I suspect this is my key problem because when I try to make a cURL call, I am getting 'curl: (52) Empty reply from server'.

I'm using Mac.

Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated!

If you are using the GUI to set that info then the GUI will no longer be able to communicate with the backend because the RPC user/password/port will be wrong.

I would recommend you run bitshares_client from the console as this is what your bot should be working with.
