I have a small problem with my server bitcoind, when i taping example : bitcoin-cli getbalance i have that error : error: couldn't connect to server: unknown (code -1) (make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port) But the port its open, how i can resolve that ? System : Ubuntu Server Bitcoin.conf : prune=550 rpcport=8332 maxconnections=125 maxuploadtarget=0 rpcuser=USERHIDDEN rpcpassword=PASSWORDHIDDEN daemon=1 keypool=100 #Edit : Bad English Thank Title: Re: BitcoinD RPC Server Post by: cloverme on April 29, 2017, 11:00:26 AM Hi there, I have a small problem with my server bitcoind, when i taping example : bitcoin-cli getbalance i have that error : error: couldn't connect to server: unknown (code -1) (make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port) But the port its open, how i can resolve that ?

Use your RPC connect username and password in the command. Code: bitcoin-cli -rpcuser=userhidden -rpcpassword=passwordhidden -rpcport=8332 Check your firewall rules: Code: sudo iptables -L or Code: sudo ufw status For debugging, you can try turning off your firewall Code: sudo ufw disable If it was blocked locally, you can add a rule: Code: sudo ufw allow from (source ip) to (RPC IP) port 8332 proto tcp Good luck Title: Re: BitcoinD RPC Server Post by: BitcoinPot on April 29, 2017, 10:14:25 PM Check this thread too:

For anyone else reading, I noticed that bitcoin-cli worked properly when bitcoind was invoked via the command line, but not when running the GUI. Adding "server=1" to bitcoin.conf fixed this issue.

For anyone else reading, I noticed that bitcoin-cli worked properly when bitcoind was invoked via the command line, but not when running the GUI. bitcoind will default to server=1. bitcoin-qt will not. So if you want to use the RPC server while running bitcoin-qt, you need to set server=1Adding "server=1" to bitcoin.conf fixed this issue. |
