I'm trying to run bitcoind on a Raspberry Pi 3 but I'm stuck on an error. The raspberry has a Hdd for storage with a fully indexed blockchain that was synced on my laptop and than copied to the Hdd (txindex=1).
When calling the log file I get this message:
Side note: I also did a reindex-chainstate=1 afterwords, but I still got this issue.

transaction index disabled is logged when the txindex=1 or -txindex flag is not set. If it was once indexed, and you don't pass that flag, then bitcoind will prevent you from accidentally rebuilding the database without the indexes unless you explicitly tell it to with -reindex. Check your bitcoin.conf file and the startup script. Alternatively, try adding -txindex to /etc/systemd/system/bitcoind.service where bitcoind is called:
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/bitcoind -txindex -daemon -conf=/home/bitcoin/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf -pid=/home/bitcoin/.bitcoin/bitcoind.pid
Thanks, unfortunately it didn't solved it. When calling this command I get: Bitcoin server starting. But when calling the debug file, it still gives "LoadBlockIndexDB: transaction index disabled". Could it be something with RPC connections because this also doesn't work when calling for `bitcoin-cli' commands – Jeans5 – 2018-10-11T07:43:57.643
I don't think it is running at all anymore (it says Exiting), you can check with ps | aux grep bitcoind, so RPC commands won't work either. – JBaczuk – 2018-10-11T14:27:24.963
Thanks, this gives me "admin 7651 0.0 0.0 4372 568 pts/0 S+ 16:32 0:00 grep --color=auto bitcoind".
When asking for the command systemctl status bitcoind.service, I get a green message Active (running). So I assume it's running? – Jeans5 – 2018-10-11T14:34:35.493
Did you try restarting the service? sudo systemctl restart bitcoind.service? You can try running it directly (not as a service) until you get it working. bitcoind -txindex -daemon – JBaczuk – 2018-10-11T14:37:48.277
Also this gives me the same error as above. I can't get my head around, because the same blockchain (same bitcoin folder with index and chainstate) works perfectly on my laptop with the UI. Do you think, it has something to do with the RPC credentials? – Jeans5 – 2018-10-11T14:48:41.087
No, I don't think so. If you copied the entire .bitcoin folder over, and run the same version of bitcoind with txindex flag, it should work, unless I'm missing something – JBaczuk – 2018-10-11T14:53:58.013
why does it say transaction index disabled? are you using
-txindexon the pi? – JBaczuk – 2018-10-10T18:46:47.213I have no idea. Yes, it runs with
txindex=1– Jeans5 – 2018-10-10T19:26:23.883which version of
bitcoindis the pi running? – JBaczuk – 2018-10-10T19:56:16.580Version 0.16.3. I followed these steps for LND ==> https://github.com/Stadicus/guides/blob/master/raspibolt/raspibolt_30_bitcoin.md
