Title: bitcoin -server error Post by: kldunc on February 08, 2011, 04:52:48 AM When running bitcoin with -server I get this error message:
Quote Warning: To use the "-server" option, you must set rpcpassword=<password> in the configuration file: C:/Users/username/Appdata/Roaming/Bitcoin/bitcoin.conf In bitcoin.conf I have: Quote rpcuser=username rpcpassword=password Am I missing something? Title: Re: bitcoin -server error Post by: Cryptoman on February 08, 2011, 05:03:40 AM Make sure the file is in the correct directory and that the file name is not misspelled. I don't know how file permissions work under Windows, but also make sure the file is readable by the user starting the server. Other than that, I have no clue.
Title: Re: bitcoin -server error Post by: bitcool on February 08, 2011, 05:42:34 AM I had same problem before, not sure the cause is the same though.
I created bitcoin.conf using Windows New -> Text file, even though it showed "bitcoin.conf" as the file name, there's a hidden extension .txt. I renamed it using DOS and everything worked fine.
