Title: [SOLVED] walletnotify not working on Windows
Post by: supermoney on November 22, 2015, 10:57:15 AM

Hello guys, months ago I was writing a PHP script using walletnotify for storing transactions in a database. Now bitcoind at notify pop ups the system console for a second but it doesn't execute any...
After many tests I ended up using a very simple script for testing purposes:

test.php

Code:

<?php
	$fp=fopen("C:/test.txt","a");
	$out=$argv[1]."\n";
	fwrite($fp,$out);
?>

bitcoin.conf

Code:

walletnotify = C:/php/php.exe -f C:/test.php %s

debug.log

Code:

2015-11-22 12:30:56 AddToWallet e20f0f5eb3b1d68fc1f33440cfc419a7e03719f645b292fec07211a56e6c185b  new
2015-11-22 12:30:56 runCommand error: system(C:/php/php.exe -f C:/test.php e20f0f5eb3b1d68fc1f33440cfc419a7e03719f645b292fec07211a56e6c185b) returned 1

Which actually works if ran manually through cmd but not by bitcoind when gets new transactions, just the console flashes and then byebye... Is my walletnotify cmd string correct?

SOLVED: had to use '\' instead of '/' damn it ::)

Lol, why are you explaining a sr member where the lock button is located, I think that he knows where it is.

@supermonkey, such litlle details are very i portant one small mistake and then it is not working. Good that you have fixed it!

Thanks for the tip but I know it already.
Anyways, I left the thread open because I've got another question for you: what does happen if bitcoind eg. crashes? Will walletnotify seek for new/missing transactions at launch?
Still didn't try (sorry :-[) but I hope it won't skip them lol

Any idea? Explanation? I wanna make sure walletnotify it's a safe and stable way to fetch ~50/100 transactions (send/receive) a day.
