Title: RPC Port question.
Post by: MoreBloodWine on February 16, 2015, 05:17:25 PM
System A: Node
System B: Other stuff connecting to node.

Ok, so I know System B needs the connection info like rpc user and pass to connect to System A for whatever it has to do be it gather info or process data and System A needs the bitcoin.conf file with the user, pass and ipallow stuff. However, what I don't know is how do I tell the bitcoin client what port to listen to for rpc stuff.

This is all on a windows machine.

Ty.

Nm, I found that default is 8332 but to name a specific port I need to flag: rpcport=<port> in bitcoin.conf
