Title: Setting up Electrum to Accept Payments - Problems!
Post by: twomanthree12 on January 31, 2016, 11:18:23 PM
So im trying to request payment through my website but having problems.

Im using Windows 7 x32 as a testing environment. I installed Electrum via the installer and not the standalone exe.

First thing is that electrum is showing this in Preferences when it comes to SSL:

Im using a self-signed certificate that I generated from OpenSSL. Next, i think i messed up when it came to the rewrite settings because when I type in "electrum addrequest 3.14 -m "this is a test" " via CMD (with admin), two files  are generated in the right path of my server

(the index.html was not generated, i coped it from one of the electrum folders)


the index.html was not generated, i coped it from one of the electrum foldersbut without the index.html. I actually tried finding a copy of the index.html and pasting it to the directy of the folder and tried doing the "index.html?id=(ID HERE)" but nothing changed as shown here!

When I tried doing "listrequests()" via the Electrum command line, i got this:

Can someone please tell me where I messed up?

What Electrum version are you using ? and have you followed the Tutorial on the Documentations ? If it's the case then I guess you should be using 2.6 because they updated it : http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/merchant.html

This tutorial will show you how to accept Bitcoin on a website with SSL signed payment requests. It is updated for Electrum 2.6.
