Title: Noob help with rpc bitcoind Post by: Gifted on November 04, 2015, 03:38:55 AM Hi, I am new to bitcoind and linux and i'm trying to learn. I have recently Bought a gambling script from someone and i thought i could install myself to learn.
In the config file it asks $rpc = array( 'login' => 'RPC_login', 'password' => 'RPC_password', Ive searched google and have found so many confusing instructions or out of date. Im using thcservers.com that i bought with bitcoin and i have access to ssh but do i really need ssh or can i upload and configure manualy.Does the server have to download the blockchain through shell? If anyone can tell me what to do step by step that would be great. :) Title: Re: Noob help with rpc bitcoind Post by: achow101 on November 04, 2015, 03:40:16 AM What is the server OS? You will probably need to do it through ssh, and it is actually easier that way.

Does the script allow remote connections to bitcoind? Title: Re: Noob help with rpc bitcoind Post by: Gifted on November 04, 2015, 03:50:00 AM What is the server OS?

You have cpanel hosting when you instead need a VPS. If the script you purchased allows for remote connections to bitcoind you can install bitcoin on your home pc (or any other server) and allow remote connections so that your cpanel host can connect to your bitcoind node at home OR you can buy a VPS and install bitcoin and a web server on that.

Title: Re: Noob help with rpc bitcoind Post by: achow101 on November 04, 2015, 04:03:43 AM cat: /etc/*-release: No such file or directory Well that's a problem.I just checked the website and I think you are using CentOS 6 since that is the default linux version for vps with cpanel. Type the following commands: Code: yum install nano This will open up an interactive window where you can edit text. Add the following lines: Code: server=1 Then hit Ctrl+x and follow the prompts to save the file. Once that is done, start up bitcoind (or restart it). In the config file for the gambling script, set the RPC_Login and RPC_password to <YOUR USERNAME> and <YOUR PASSWORD> respectively. Make sure to keep the single quotes around each one so that it recognizes the strings.

Ah didn't see that you can choose to have your VPS come preinstalled with cpanel. I guess we will need clarification on which plan OP picked from https://www.thcservers.com.
