Title: Not able to connect poclbm to bitcoin on another machine Post by: fizgig on March 04, 2011, 12:16:15 AM I have bitcoind running on a linux machine with the following bitcoin.conf file:
Code: rpcuser=username I also did all the steps here: http://www.bitcoin.org/wiki/doku.php?id=rpcssl ...including testing the openssl connection from windows XP (where I want to run poclbm from) to bitcoind on the linux server. The connection appears to work fine. When I try to connect to bitcoind running on linux from windows xp using the commmand: Code: poclbm.exe --user=username --pass=password -o 192.168.2.10 -p 8332 -d0 --verbose --platform=0 -d0 I just get the "Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC" error message. Any ideas what I can try? Title: Re: Not able to connect poclbm to bitcoin on another machine Post by: Mahkul on March 04, 2011, 12:57:29 AM What if you try to connect from the local machine?
What if you put in the actual IP address instead of the wildcard? I am not sure whether you can just use *; in networking it is sometimes necessary to specify IPs like: *.*.*.* Title: Re: Not able to connect poclbm to bitcoin on another machine Post by: fizgig on March 04, 2011, 01:06:08 AM I changed rpcallowip=* to rpcallowip=192.168.2.127 which is the address of the windows xp miner client and restarted bitcoind. Still have the same error.
poclbm can connect to bitcoin if I run bitcoin on the xp machine. I'm not sure how to run bitcoin on the machine running bitcoind since the machine is headless (no X server installed). Any other suggestions?

And make sure you run bitcoind with -server
Title: Re: Not able to connect poclbm to bitcoin on another machine Post by: fizgig on March 04, 2011, 04:01:22 AM I started bitcoind as so:
Code: ./bitcoind -server -rcpallowip=* -rpcssl=1 and also later tried: Code: ./bitcoind -server -rcpallowip=192.168.2.* -rpcssl=1 Didn't make any difference. The wiki seems to think that those options should work fine in the bitcoin.conf file: http://www.bitcoin.org/wiki/doku.php?id=running_bitcoin (http://www.bitcoin.org/wiki/doku.php?id=running_bitcoin) Title: Re: Not able to connect poclbm to bitcoin on another machine Post by: fizgig on March 04, 2011, 04:19:32 AM Got it working. I got rid of the rpcssl=1 line in the conf file.
