Title: Upgraded to 0.12.0 "error: couldn't connect to server"
Post by: RussianRaibow on March 10, 2016, 01:20:19 PM
I recently upgraded my raspberry pi node to 0.12.0 and now when I run the command "getinfo" I always get the following error.
Code:
bitcoin-cli - datadir=/home/pi/bitcoinData getinfo
error: couldn't connect to server

Does anyone know why this is happening or what to do to fix it?  It used to work just fine.  If I check my node at bitnodes.21.co it appears to be running fine, but the "getinfo" command doesn't work.
