Title: error: Host not found (authoritative)
Post by: bingo5555 on March 16, 2014, 05:31:18 AM
Hi all,

I am trying to compile an altcoin in my AMware hosted Ubuntu.  The xxxcoind already generated and it seemed was working fine.  But the problem is when I tried to get the current altcoin address by entering   xxxcoind getaccountaddress "" ,  It showed me the error message:error: Host not found (authoritative)


Can anyone help me out?   Thanks in adv.


P.S   

xxxcoind.conf

server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
rpcuser=test
rpcpassword=test123
rpcallowip=192.168.11.*
rpcconnect=192.168.11.*
rpcport=9334
addnode=192.168.11.1
bind=192.168.11.129

rpcconnect=192.168.11.*

rpcconnect instructs the client to connect to this address. Since 192.168.11.* is not an IP address it tries to resolve this as a hostname. Obviously, this fails.
