How's this possible? LOL

Edit-1:I have re-installed bitcoind multiple time on this machine,so does the block count includes the blocks from previous installation(maybe it coudn't verify those blocks and started a fresh installation).BTW,I am a noobie at these things  :-X

Are you using testnet? IIRC testnet is somewhere in that region.

Reinstalling isn't going to help. The data is not stored in the installation directory. It is stored in the data directory, which depends on your OS. So, yes, the blockchain will persist between installs, that's what allows you to upgrade without losing everything.

Is there a testnet3 folder in your data directory (there should). Can you get the log from there? Also, what is your startup command?

add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
apt-get update
apt-get install bitcoind
After that I created bitcoin.conf

Copy and paste it into a new paste at http://pastebin.com/. If it's too long (which it probably is), get the most recent stuff. Try to get the beginning of a run of bitcoind, it should start with a bunch of blank lines and then the bitcoind version.

And I simply use bitcoind to start the server
So your command is just
Code:
bitcoind
? If it is, that's interesting. It shouldn't be doing this. What's in your bitcoin.conf file?

Found the problem,since I copy pasted bitcoin.conf file from a blog so it had "testnet=1" included.I commented out that line and wiped it out to re-install the wallet.
Lets see whether it will work now or not.
