I'm trying to set up a test network consisting of 3 nodes, each with different bitcoin.conf. I've constructed the directory and the .conf-files similar to what is the state of the art in qa/pull-tester/. Within the terminal inside the node-A-directory I commanded: ...
bitcoind -conf="/home/me/.bitcoin/regtest/testnetwork/A/bitcoin.conf"
...and got back this error:
'Error initializing block database. Do you want to rebuild the block database now?'
My bitcoin.conf has following content:
regtest=1
rpcuser=rt //adopted from .conf-files in qa/pull-tester/
rpcpassword=rt //adopted from .conf-files in qa/pull-tester/
port=11111 //arbitrary free port
rpcport=21111 //arbitrary free port
Could someone please help with my intended network setup or at least say what I'm doing wrong?
PS: I'm going to paste my logfile in a comment below.

Actually the error is given at trying to start the first node - in my case node A. I solved the problem by adding -regtest, -daemon and -datadir="path to node directory" to my previous command ... but after trying to getbalance another error appeared saying "couldn't connect to server." – Aliakbar Ahmadi – 2015-03-02T17:11:51.173
Are you providing the same -conf option to
bitcoin-cli? – Nick ODell – 2015-03-02T19:03:25.000No I just do: 'bitcoin-cli regtest getbalance' ... Do I need to give -conf as parameter for every and each API command? Or did I just misunderstand your question? – Aliakbar Ahmadi – 2015-03-02T21:13:23.380
Any ideas someone? – Aliakbar Ahmadi – 2015-03-03T20:23:52.720
