Title: Setting up daemon
Post by: joeyjoe on August 22, 2011, 08:23:05 PM
I have got my normal bitcoin app running, but i want to setup another to use with a website. am i able to setup a seperate one since they all try and use the config file in the same location (c:\user\appdata\....).

Or should i just use my current one?

running two clients with the same configuration file is going to result in the potential for corruption of the wallet file. I'll assume you want the second one seperated because you're reciving payments on said website the cleanest way would be to isolate the wallet into it's own virtual machine (vmware running linux coin or virtual pc running xp since that's free with windows 7 professional or higher) you would only need to open the virtual machine to send coins from said wallet as you can recive coins to an offline wallet

hmm would prefer to use the win XP on the virtual machine. not very good with linux.

Would it be easy to setup the port forwarding to connect the daemon on the VM to the php Json?

As easy as any real machine on a given network

oh yeah i remember now. used it along time ago back when i was an IT tech.

Not doing too well setting up the daemon as it is though. some anoying PHP errors.

get the same messages even with the daemon offline so im guessing something to do with the config.
