I have a pretty early bitforce order (#7959 paid 9/12/12) that I'm thinking about ebaying.
The question:
If YOU were to order 3 ASIC units TODAY around the 60GH/S range, which one would you order from what company based on what criteria?

Ok so I noticed in apache2.conf there was Include sites-enabled AND Include /var/www I commented out /var/www and restarted apache and the error is gone. HOWEVER! The page still wont display at all: http://phr0stbyt3.com/index.phpMaybe you should post the errors from the error.log instead of letting everybody look at a blank page to guess what the error might be Error in error.log is: [error] [client xx.xx.xxx.xxx] [PHP Fatal error: Class 'Memcached' not found in /var/www/includes/requiredFunctions.php on line 57. edit: until 30 minutes ago I didn't know where to look for errors. |

So I have a ubuntu 12.04 vps running poolserverj flawlessly with LAMP installed. I followed these instructions for installation of simplecoin listed on github: Installation:
1. Extract files into web root directory
2. Create simplecoin database in you mysql instance
3. Run simplecoin.sql in your simplecoin database (This will be used for pushpool & simplcoin)
4. Edit includes/requiredFunctions.php and set the bitcoin & database login info
5. Edit all files in the cronjob folder, set $includesDirectory to the correct server path.
6. setup cronjobs on a staggered schedule. I recommend 10-30 minutes for most. I run payout twice daily.
I cloned simplecoin to /var/www and restarted apache. After 4 days I am still getting the same error: apache2: Syntax error on line 238 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 20 of /var/www/about.php: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/("includes/header.php");: No such file or directoryIt is trying to look in /etc/apache2/("includes/header.php"); ... wtf is going on?

Well, been mining for quite a while now without problems. Just cant see the BFL in GPUMON. I am going to consider this solved and award BinaryMage the remaining 8 BTC bounty for the help.

Sorry for the delay in responding. After making a new BAMT image I copied the config file listed here in its entirety with the changes you told me to make. It works, but still no gpumon tracking of the single. The status page doesnt show it either. Only the GPUs
|
|
|
|
Hellish night of tinkering. Wiped USB drive and started BAMT from scratch. After much trying I finally came up with this:  Looks like the single is working... but still nothing on gpumon. Only GPUs:  Has anyone heard a success story of getting a bitforce on gpumon? I've spent hours googling and it looks pretty bleak. |
|
|
|
Miners disconnected about an hour ago for me too.
Same here. Ditto |
|
|
|
|
P.S. I will be sending 2 BTC to lightlord and 2 BTC to BinaryMage for the help thus far.
Lightlord, although you did not provide me with a guide for linux, I have been using your steps to mine with my windows gaming rig so I haven't had any downtime yet.
BinaryMage if you are still able to help me fix this problem I will send you the remaining 8 BTC for the bounty.
Please post addresses so I can publicly send BTC to you both.

And we're back. Brief vacation for me, first one in a long time. Anyways I'm still hopelessly stuck. I ran the fixer, everything is up to date. Made the changes and the rig slows to a halt every 20 or so seconds and still no BFL mining. It seems like it's getting confused seeing the pool info in the bamt.conf as well as in the pools file. Maybe I'll try commenting out the pools in the pools file and see if that helps with the hangups. Still getting that error when I restart mining processes. |

Ok, modified my bamt.conf and added the following in bold. Restarted the mining session and here's what happens: Stopping mining processes...: mine..cgminer api failed..3778.gpu3..3753.gpu2..3728.gpu1..3703.gpu0..wrapper-3.pid..wrapper-2.pid..wrapper-1.pid..wrapper-0.pid...
Starting mining processes...: minestart_mining: starting mining processes
..munin..GPU 0..fan 0..OC 0..GPU 1..fan 1..OC 1..GPU 2..fan 2..OC 2..GPU 3..fan 3..OC 3..cgminer...
gpumon shows 4 GPUs and no bitforce. Here's my bamt.conf. Since code doesnt allow bolding, please look for the bold tags that I added# Big A Miner Thing configuration
# /etc/bamt/bamt.conf
#
# When done editing, restart mining to make changes here take effect
# If you're just setting up BAMT, be sure to edit pools as well.
#
# As of 0.5, many less common options have been removed from this
# default config to make it easier on the noobs.
#
# You will find a complete example with all options described
# at /opt/bamt/examples/bamt.conf

Edit: I opted to not use cgminer for gpu's in this config mainly because cgminer is not an option under the "kernel" list and I don't know how to properly disable phoenix (which I'm just assuming I'm using right now). There is no phoenix2: 1 Also, adding the line cgminer_opts: makes my miner hop from what I list there, and what's in my pool file. E.g.
# kernel to use.. one of: phatk phatk2 poclbm
# if in doubt, use phatk2
kernel: phatk2
Maybe I don't have cgminer installed correctly? Edit 2: It's pretty obvious that I don't really know whats going on here. I don't know what I'm using. It was so easy to set this up out of the box that I really havent had to mess with it too much. All I have done is literally adjust my clock speeds, and add lines to my pool file, and it worked with my GPUs. |

Thanks for the replies! @BinaryMage This looks promising. I will set this up tomorrow and let you know how it goes. And windows guy thanks for the attempt and for sharing your config, not what I need though  On first attempt, there is no cgminer: 0 There is only one instance of the word cgminer in my bamt.conf I will upload my bamt.conf when I get to work. |

What model is your motherboard? Or did I miss that  Anyway I had a hell of a time using my Gigabyte motherboard until I flashed the BIOS. These motherboards are currently reported to have issues with BAMT according to their HCL: Gigabyte 890FXA-UD5 - Unable to boot from .img (BAMT and Debian Live image tested) Gigabyte 990fxa-UD3 rev 1.0 - Unable to boot images with paritions? Doesn't work. -http://bamter.org/redmine/projects/bamt/wiki/Hardware_Compatibility_List |

Downloaded 2.4.1, fumbled around until I was able to:
./configure --disable-gpu --enable-bitforce
make install
Now when I run ./cgminer all I get is "Too many values passed to set temp cutoff"
|
|
|

Here's what I want: 1) I want my bitforce to show up on gpumon (if possible) 2) I want to know why I have only been getting ~350mhs on my bitforce single 3) I want someone to provide a step by step guide for the dumbest person on earth (me) to set up my bitforce single in my existing install of BAMT which is already running 4x GPU's. What I don't want: 1) Links to guides or other posts 2) Instructions on what to google 3) Instructions on what to search for in the forums I installed cgminer 2.3.6 and for some reason when I try to start it it will take over my GPUs and I will have to disable them individually. I did -NOT- edit bamt.conf to try to configure the bitforce. Currently to start cgminer I use ./cgminer -S /dev/ttyUSB0 -o http://mine1.btcguild.com:8332 -u user -p pass -I 9 to start it.. sometimes the bitforce runs, other times it just says "REST". That's it. 10 bitcoins to the person who can bring my bitforce online with my existing installation on BAMT that is already running. gpumon integration would be ideal, but as I understand it is "gpu"mon and not fpgamon. |

So I guess I missed the "Add to cart" link where I buy 36 of these... if you can just point me to it that would be great.
Thx.
