How can I run bitcoind and bitcoinclassicd on the same server?

I want to run full nodes for Bitcoin (bitcoind) and Bitcoin cash (bitcoinclassic). Here are the commands I'm using to run these nodes (I've renamed bitcoin classic tools to bitcoinclassic* and moved the executables to the /usr/bin):

$ bitcoind -daemon -dbcache=3072 -rpcthreads=10
$ bitcoinclassicd -daemon -datadir=.bitcoinclassic/ -dbcache=3072 -rpcthreads=10

They are both starts OK, but when I'm trying to use the bitcoin-cli and bitcoinclassic-cli, for some reason I'm getting information only for bitcoinclassic

$ bitcoin-cli getinfo
{
  "version": 1030300,
  "protocolversion": 80002,
  "walletversion": 130000,
  "balance": 0.00000000,
  "blocks": 479637,
  "timeoffset": 0,
  "connections": 19,
  "proxy": "",
  "difficulty": 115459053827.9121,
  "testnet": false,
  "keypoololdest": 1502885275,
  "keypoolsize": 101,
  "paytxfee": 0.00000000,
  "relayfee": 0.00001000,
  "errors": ""
}

$ bitcoinclassic-cli getinfo
{
  "version": 1030300,
  "protocolversion": 80002,
  "walletversion": 130000,
  "balance": 0.00000000,
  "blocks": 479637,
  "timeoffset": 0,
  "connections": 19,
  "proxy": "",
  "difficulty": 115459053827.9121,
  "testnet": false,
  "keypoololdest": 1502885275,
  "keypoolsize": 101,
  "paytxfee": 0.00000000,
  "relayfee": 0.00001000,
  "errors": ""
}

How can I fix it? Maybe I should use more flags at the start, e.g. specifying configuration file or something else?

UPDATE: I forget to say, that they are not using the same port, here's the configs:

$ cat .bitcoin/bitcoin.conf 
rpcuser=USER
rpcpassword=PASS
rpcbind=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8332
server=1
$ cat .bitcoinclassic/bitcoin.conf 
rpcuser=USER
rpcpassword=PASS
rpcbind=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8432
server=1
bind=0.0.0.0:9222
maxconnections=10

Are they using the same RPC port?Nick ODell 2017-08-19T01:20:47.410

@NickODell no, check question's updateSergey Potekhin 2017-08-19T01:24:06.920

Are you using -conf to tell each cli tool where to find the configuration for that daemon?Nick ODell 2017-08-19T01:26:21.883

@NickODell No, I thought that they will try to find configuration files in their datadir folders (.bitcoin and .bitcoinclassic). Should I do it?Sergey Potekhin 2017-08-19T01:28:28.033

Let me rephrase - are you using -datadir to tell each cli tool where to find the configuration for that daemon?Nick ODell 2017-08-19T01:29:09.433

@NickODell As I wrote in my question, I'm using -datadir option with bitcoinclassicd (-datadir=.bitcoinclassic/). I'm not using this flag with bitcoind, so it's using default folder (.bitcoin).Sergey Potekhin 2017-08-19T01:31:22.150

Are you passing the -datadir option to bitcoinclassic-cli?Nick ODell 2017-08-19T01:32:38.900

@NickODell nope. I've tried - didn't help.Sergey Potekhin 2017-08-19T01:42:29.067

Sergey, have you found what caused the trouble?Denis Matafonov 2018-01-30T23:27:23.713
