Title: problem getting armory working after it was off for a month or so Post by: crashtest22 on December 31, 2017, 07:06:00 AM Hey all,
I have looked over every thread and tutorial I could find and still cant get armory back up. I am on a windows 10 machine with latest updates. bitcoin core 15.1 latest armory 9.6.33 Every time I start armory it just hangs on prepping databases and does not go any further. I have both bitcoin and armory installed on their own drive in the same directory E:\bitcoin and E:\bitcoin\armory What do I need to post up for us to figure this out. I have tried factory reset to the one just before redo blockchain. Thanks in advance Title: Re: problem getting armory working after it was off for a month or so Post by: Holliday on December 31, 2017, 05:12:59 PM Latest Armory: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2660500.0
Possible pathing issue. https://btcarmory.com/docs/pathing Title: Re: problem getting armory working after it was off for a month or so Post by: crashtest22 on December 31, 2017, 05:28:30 PM installing that version and though it could be path issue too but cant figure out how to change or check them.
I have looked at the log and it seems it is right. Title: Re: problem getting armory working after it was off for a month or so Post by: crashtest22 on December 31, 2017, 05:53:54 PM installed that latest version and so far it seems to be loading scanning trans history now and its not stuck.

Anyone have any ideas? Title: Re: problem getting armory working after it was off for a month or so Post by: Peg on January 02, 2018, 04:29:39 AM 1. bitcoin-core must be completely synced, may need a few days to update
2. then run armory to get the data from core....... Title: Re: problem getting armory working after it was off for a month or so Post by: crashtest22 on January 02, 2018, 05:45:20 AM Thanks for the reply.
I have bitcoin core fully synced I think armory is not linking properly to its database or core. if I check my node it has been up and running for 2 days so core is up and running as it should Title: Re: problem getting armory working after it was off for a month or so Post by: crashtest22 on January 05, 2018, 11:53:43 PM after being away for 4 days came back to same problem.
Really could use some help on this Title: Re: problem getting armory working after it was off for a month or so Post by: Holliday on January 06, 2018, 06:10:40 AM I would try deleting the Armory/databases folder and restart from scratch.
Title: Re: problem getting armory working after it was off for a month or so Post by: forensixguy on January 08, 2018, 01:31:00 PM I'm having the same problem with "Send Bitcoin" button not working On Ubuntu 16.04, except that my problem happened out of the blue on a fully functioning copy of Armory (96.2)...Made one successful transfer, then tried to make another to a different wallet and the button doesn't respond. Core v0.15.1 is fully synced and I even uninstalled and upgraded to Armory 0.96.3.991. No change in behavior.
Title: Re: problem getting armory working after it was off for a month or so Post by: droark on January 08, 2018, 07:57:20 PM You'll want to upgrade to at least 0.96.3 (preferably 0.96.4 RC2) if you're on Core 0.15.1. Core 0.15.0.1 revealed an issue that wasn't fixed until 0.96.3.
Title: Re: problem getting armory working after it was off for a month or so Post by: forensixguy on January 08, 2018, 09:54:56 PM The .deb for 0.96.4 RC2 is labeled 0.96.3.991...unless there is an even more recent version?

That is the correct one.Title: Re: problem getting armory working after it was off for a month or so Post by: crashtest22 on January 09, 2018, 06:51:40 AM Finally got it to work.
I uninstalled armory and reinstalled in default locations. Also renamed the bitcoin folder in appdata\roaming to bitcoin.old then ran bitcoin core and let it update then opened armory back up and it finally worked. not really sure which of those fixed the issue but its up and running. Thanks for all the tips Title: Re: problem getting armory working after it was off for a month or so Post by: forensixguy on January 11, 2018, 09:22:40 PM Finally got it to work.

Thanks for all the tips Firstly, apologies to crashtest22 et al...I didn't intend to threadjack this convo. That being said, I also got my setup to work as well. I tried many things, and wouldn't know what fixed the issue had I not been able to compare what I did against your list. By combining our lists, it seems that the way to fix this (for me) was to upgrade to latest version of Armory, delete the database folder in bitcoin core, run bitcoin core and let it re-update (mine took the better part of a day), and then run Armory. Everything's back to normal. Thanks to all who responded! |
