I have two users on my Linux system, daemonuser, which runs bitcoind and abeuser, which runs Abe.
Whenever I start Abe, I am told:
Skipping datadir /home/daemonuser/.bitcoin/blocks: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/daemonuser/.bitcoin/blocks/blk0001.dat'
Even after adding abeuser as a readable user on the /home/daemonuser/.bitcoin/blocks/ directory.
Would it be easier to keep bitcoin's blockdata in a public folder and read it from there for Abe's purposes?
That's for windows :S And bitcoinqt. Does the same work on bitcoind on linux? If so, awesome! – user3145 – 2013-05-04T05:02:01.553
Bitcoind is exactly the same codebase as Bitcoin-Qt, only compiled without GUI. There's very little difference between the versions for different OS'es too. One notable exception is the location of the standard datadir. – Pieter Wuille – 2013-05-04T13:39:27.833
Asking about how to change the default storage location has been posted many, many times. The future canonical question is probably Bitcoin-Qt setup: Change block-chain file location, settings? documentation?. Possible duplicate of Bitcoin-Qt setup: Change block-chain file location, settings? documentation?.
