I'm using the following guide in order to setup a monero node on my computer:

https://freedomnode.com/blog/how-to-install-and-set-up-full-monero-node-on-linux/

I am on step 4 and when I run

Code:

sudo journalctl -fu monerod.service

I get the following log:

Code:

monerod.service: Can't open PID file /home/andy/.bitmonero/monerod.pid (yet?) after start: Operation not permitted

Here is the source code for my monerod.service file:

Code:

[Unit]
Description=Monero Full Node
After=network.target

[Service]
User=monero
Group=monero

Type=forking
PIDFile=/home/andy/.bitmonero/monerod.pid

ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/monerod --restricted-rpc --block-sync-size 50 --confirm-external-bind --config-file /home/andy>

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

When I run

Code:

monerod --config-file /home/andy/.bitmonero/monerod.conf status

I get the following error:

Code:

Error: Couldn't connect to daemon: 127.0.0.1:18081

I'm not sure how to fix either of these issues, does anybody know how I am supposed to move forward from here? I am so lost!
