This is what happens after I run this command bitcoind --regtest --printtoconsole, my guess is that it's something to do with bitcoin.conf
My bitcoin.conf file looks like this:
server=1
rpcuser=root
rpcpassword=password
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8332
If you need more context, these are my other questions: trouble with bitcoin cli regtest and interacting with bitcoin over docker
I don't see anything wrong. – Pieter Wuille – 2017-04-19T15:33:15.253
but- I get this-
bitcoin-cli -regtest getinfo error: couldn't connect to server: unknown (code -1) (make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port)– smatthewenglish – 2017-04-19T15:33:48.780Try removing the rpcconnect line. rpcconnect is an option to bitcoin-cli, not bitcoind. – Pieter Wuille – 2017-04-19T15:48:14.917
ah- I removed it but- same error :/ – smatthewenglish – 2017-04-19T15:49:55.637
In fact, you can delete your bitcoin.conf entirely. bitcoind will create its own password if you don't set one (cookie), and bitcoin-cli can find it. All the other options are default. So I suggest just delete bitcoin.conf, restart bitcoind, and then try again. – Pieter Wuille – 2017-04-19T15:52:05.420
when I delete it I get the error
bitcoin-cli -regtest getinfo>>error: Could not locate RPC credentials. No authentication cookie could be found, and no rpcpassword is set in the configuration file (/root/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf)– smatthewenglish – 2017-04-19T15:59:53.557What version of bitcoind is running? It's in the first line of debug.log. – Pieter Wuille – 2017-04-19T16:20:01.707
Bitcoin version v0.14.99.0-c91ca0a – smatthewenglish – 2017-04-20T08:02:43.540
I think I need to do something like described here, do you think it's right?
– smatthewenglish – 2017-04-20T14:24:05.910I don't understand what the problem is for you. But no, that link doesn't help. bitcoin-cli fails to connect to your bitcoind entirely. That answer is about needing multiple nodes in your network before you can have all functionality. – Pieter Wuille – 2017-04-20T14:26:45.680
I'm trying to run it on this docker image https://hub.docker.com/r/smatthewenglish/oakcoin/tags/ it's just an ubuntu image with the latest version of bitcoin cloned from github
