Can you post your build commands?
Hey clayop, thanks for the response. To answere your question, no, not easily. I'm using a python script (bts_tools) and some of it is buried in the config files.
Besides, I don't think that's relevant, given that the binaries are in operation now and I haven't missed a block in several hours on VPS seed07 in Singnapore.
Also, as I mentioned, I verified the binaries, config etc were all transfered from seed07 to seed06 in LA without changes using md5sum.
I just tried to start it as a seed node on seed06 (no block production) and it fails in the same way, but I expected that.
I will try to start a seed on another VPS in Germany and see if I can get it to sync. If I can it will be some issue on the VPS, in which case I'll rebuild it from scratch. All 4 of the VPSs should be the same, but I have noticed subtle differences in the images each host uses, tho they are all Ubuntu 14.04, and I used the same setup script on each one.
It's been fast pace work, and I may have overlooked something tho. It only goes to show if it's this difficult to determine why I can't bring up a new witness instance with all of these checks and verifications it's not only a suble difference but also that the voluminous withness_node output is not easy to distill information from.
